The homogeneous catalytic hydration of 1,2-, 1,3- and 1,4-dicyanobenzenes using organometallic nickel(0) catalysts of general formula [(dippe)Ni(η2-N,C-1,n-(CN)2-benzene)] (n = 2–4; complexes 2–4, respectively) was achieved under heating, the products of hydration, at least in the case of 1,3...

Application of layered nickel cobalt manganese oxide as cathode under higher potential than conventional 4.2 V yields a significant improvement in energy density of lithium ion battery. However, the cathode fully charged under high potential suffers serious self-discharge, in which the interacti...

Adsorption of dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) on gold colloidal nanoparticle surfaces has been examined to check its binding mechanism. Differently from previous results, DMDS molecules adsorbed on the gold surface at high concentration showed the S–S stretching band at ∼500 cm−1 in surface-enhanced...

Efficient, odorless and scalable synthetic protocols have been introduced for the preparation of symmetric alkyl disulfides by treatment of the corresponding organic halides with thiourea and NaHCO3 in the presence of commercially available Europhtal catalyst (8020) in both H2O and poly ethylene...

A high-yielding and low temperature one-pot procedure is described for unsymmetrical disulfide synthesis from two different thiols using 1-chlorobenzotriazole (BtCl) as oxidant. The mechanism of the coupling involves in situ trapping of the sulfenyl chloride intermediate R1SCl by nucleophilic be...

Bis-thioethenes and vinyl thioethers were obtained from the reaction of disulfides and calcium carbide in good to high yields using a simple synthetic procedure and common laboratory setup. The tolerance of the reaction was investigated by the examples of aliphatic, aromatic, heteroaromatic and ...

Carbon disulfide is an abundant, inexpensive and readily available material. One of the main challenges in the reaction of epoxides with CS2 is to control the chemoselectivity as a variety of compounds would be formed in the reaction. A simple and convenient method toward selectively synthesis o...

PurposeThermal imaging has been utilised, both preclinically and clinically, as a tool for assessing inflammation. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterised by hyperkeratosis, dermal inflammatory infiltrate and increased angiogenesis. The aim of the present study was to asse...

In electricity supply industries, the word deregulation is disassembly of original structure and reassembly into another form for better efficiency, performance and to draw private sector investment. The major concerns in deregulated power market are transmission pricing, congestion management a...

Predicting Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) code of drugs is of vital importance for drug classification and repositioning. Discovering new association information related to drugs and ATC codes is still difficult for this topic. We propose a novel method named drug–domain hybrid (dD-Hybri...

Transmission system works like express highways to evacuate the power generation in remote areas to the load centres. The assessment of the capability of the network to carry power is essential not only from the security point of view but also from commercial use reserving transactions in a comp...

Available transfer capability (ATC) needs to be declared well in advance by the system operator to reserve transactions and avoid any congestion in the network. In this paper, an optimal power flow based approach has been utilized for bilateral/multi-transactions deregulated environment to obtai...

The anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC) classification system is a widely accepted drug classification scheme. This system comprises five levels and includes several classes in each level. Drugs are classified into classes according to their therapeutic effects and characteristics. The first l...

There is a need to better understand the impacts unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have on air traffic control (ATC) when they are integrated into the National Airspace System (NAS) in controlled airspace. An increasing number of UAS are requesting access to controlled airspace. Today, the larger ...

This paper examines the impact of installing Thyristor Controlled Series Compensator (TCSC) on Available Transfer Capability (ATC) in a system with wind and hydro generations. Wind resource is modelled as an active power generation, wind power being decided by average wind velocity values over 2...

Restructured power system helps to meet the active power requirements of the consumers in an effective way. In an Independent System Operator (ISO) model of restructured power system, Available Transfer Capability (ATC) is calculated so as to determine how much extra power can be injected into o...

Aim of studyTo evaluate the automatic tube compensation (ATC) as a method of weaning from mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory failure in comparison to pressure support volume (PSV).

In the field of manufacturing engineering, it is seen that the trend is to produce quicker, proficient and high multifaceted products, which includes utilizing an awesome number of tools in the machining procedure. One of the significant answers for rapid and effective assembling depends on adju...

A detailed vibrational assignment for dimethyl sulfone has been carried out. This molecule, which has been previously shown to belong to point group C2υ, is roughly an accidental spherical top. The infrared band contours of several fundamental vibrations in the vapor have been determined and ar...

In a search of nitric oxide synthase inhibitors with prolonged vasoconstrictive activity, a series of lipophilic cyclohexafused 2-amino-2-thiazolines was obtained via cyclization of tert-butyl- or benzoyl-substituted N-(cyclohex-2-en-1-yl)thioureas. The crystal structure of intermediate N-[(3aRS...
