We have synthesized and fully characterized four new complexes comprising the fac-[Re(CO)3]+ moiety and the ligands NH3, L-proline (Pro), or N,N-dimethylglycine (dmGly). The reaction of [Re(H2O)3(CO)3]+ with the two amino acids gives trinuclear complexes of general formula [Re(L)(CO)3]3 (where L = amino acid). We have studied the in vitro behavior of these compounds with guanine and DNA in order to understand whether the cytotoxicity exhibited by certain rhenium complexes based on the fac-[Re(CO)3]+ core is due to the formation of nucleobase complexes and inter- or intrastrand links between DNA bases. We have performed model studies with guanine and studied the structural effects induced by different rhenium(I) tricarbonyl complexes on PhiX174 plasmid DNA by electrophoretic methods. Our results show that rhenium complexes with two available coordination sites interact with plasmid DNA to form a stable adduct that is likely to involve two bases. 相似文献
Summary: The dicationic [(dppp)Pd(NCCH3)2](BF4)2 catalyst (dppp = 1,3‐bis(diphenylphosphino)propane) was applied in a liquid monomer, two phase process for the CO/propene copolymerization reaction. For the first time it was possible to synthesize propene/CO copolymers with an activity up to 7 500 g/(mol · h) and molecular weights of 500 000 g/mol. Activities up to 40 000 g/(mol · h) could be obtained with the use of the unsymmetric catalyst [(CF3‐dppp)Pd(NCCH3)](BF4)2 (CF3‐dppp = 1‐diphenylphosphino‐3‐bis[3,5‐di(trifluormethyl)phenyl]phosphinopropane) in homogeneous liquid propene solution.
This paper proposes a simplicity-oriented approach and framework for language-to-language transformation of, in particular, graphical languages. Key to simplicity is the decomposition of the transformation specification into sub-rule systems that separately specify purpose-specific aspects. We illustrate this approach by employing a variation of Plotkin’s Structural Operational Semantics (SOS) for pattern-based transformations of typed graphs in order to address the aspect ‘computation’ in a graph rewriting fashion. Key to our approach are two generalizations of Plotkin’s structural rules: the use of graph patterns as the matching concept in the rules, and the introduction of node and edge types. Types do not only allow one to easily distinguish between different kinds of dependencies, like control, data, and priority, but may also be used to define a hierarchical layering structure. The resulting Type-based Structural Operational Semantics (TSOS) supports a well-structured and intuitive specification and realization of semantically involved language-to-language transformations adequate for the generation of purpose-specific views or input formats for certain tools, like, e.g., model checkers. A comparison with the general-purpose transformation frameworks ATL and Groove, illustrates along the educational setting of our graphical WebStory language that TSOS provides quite a flexible format for the definition of a family of purpose-specific transformation languages that are easy to use and come with clear guarantees.
Electrochemical dressing of fine-grained metal-bonded diamond grinding wheels enables to grind hard and brittle materials
in the ductile mode. Optical surfaces can be manufactured by grinding, which reduces the need for subsequent, time-consuming
polishing work. When using metal-bonded grinding wheels, the emerging oxides regulate the electrochemical dissolution. Bronze-bonded
grinding wheels are more suitable for grinding cemented carbides and ceramics than iron-bonded grinding wheels, as it is easier
to modify their chemical composition to suit a specific grinding task. They can also be sintered at lower temperatures, which
reduces the risk of thermal damage to the diamond. In this paper, the dissolution and the oxidation of different bronze alloys
are characterized for the electrochemical dressing process. The relevant evaluation criteria are the oxide layer thickness,
the electrical behavior and the different emerging bronze alloy oxides.

Different posttreatment methods, such as heat treatment, mechanical processing, sealing, etc., are known to be capable to
improve microstructure and exploitation properties of thermal spray coatings. In this work, a plasma electrolytic oxidation
of aluminum coatings obtained by arc spraying on aluminum and carbon steel substrates is carried out. Microstructure and properties
of oxidized layers formed on sprayed coating as well as on bulk material are investigated. Oxidation is performed in electrolyte
containing KOH and liquid glass under different process parameters. It is shown that thick uniform oxidized layers can be
formed on arc-sprayed aluminum coatings as well as on solid material. Distribution of alloying elements and phase composition
of obtained layers are investigated. A significant improvement of wear resistance of treated layers in two types of abrasive
wear conditions is observed.

This study empirically tests a stimulus–organism–response (S–O–R) structural model that proposes that an online casino's atmospheric cues and functional qualities influence individuals' affective and cognitive responses, which in turn impact consumer behavioural intentions. Using self-reported data from a primarily US-based sample, analysed elements of the online gambling site stimulus included high and low task-relevant cues, financial trust, and gambling value. Demographic characteristics were found to moderate the relationship between the stimulus and internal satisfaction, with demographic group differences found among all stimulus constructs. Results emphasise the significant role that atmospherics and functional qualities play in generating positive behaviours from online gamblers, with additional implications in marketplace competitiveness and in responsible gambling practices. 相似文献

Real-time global illumination in VR systems enhances scene realism by incorporating soft shadows, reflections of objects in the scene, and color bleeding. The Virtual Light Field (VLF) method enables real-time global illumination rendering in VR. The VLF has been integrated with the Extreme VR system for real-time GPU-based rendering in a Cave Automatic Virtual Environment. 相似文献
