Regiochemistry of intramolecular [2+2] photocycloadditions of oxygenated
6-alkenyl-3-alkoxy-2-cyclohexenones is studied. Application of this methodology
to construct a key intermediate [3.3.2] bicyclic skeleton of ryanodol is described
as well. Irradiation of (3-butenyl)compounds 3, 11, 14 and of (4-pentenyl)compound 6 afforded exclusively the linear photoadducts 4, 12, 15 and
7 respectively. Irradiation...
A new approach towards a total synthesis of paeoniflorigenin is discussed. The approach involves the application of regio- and stereoselective [2+2] photocycloaddition for the preparation of a key intermediate, cyclobutanone 86, and model studies on diiodosamarium (Sm12) mediated pinacol coupling of a diketone. Intermolecular [2+2] photocycloaddition of a,13unsaturated lactam 33...
An oral Vibrio vaccine for salmonids was developed.
The vaccine was produced by spray coating lyophilized
formalin-killed whole cells of Vibrio anguillarum (VA LS 1-
74) onto non-pareil sugar beads. Then methacrylic acrylic
acid copolymer (Eudragit L-30D) was applied as an enteric
protective coating.
Using x-ray radiographic techniques, it was...
The management of the home has been a central
component of Home Economics since the early 1900s. It is,
however, an enigmatic behavior that has not yielded easily
to research. Recognizing that meal provision and food
consumption by families incorporate management processes
and occur on a regular and frequent basis,...
A new circuit technique called Folded Source Coupled Logic (FSCL) has been developed
to implement the digital section of mixed-signal IC applications. This FSCL circuit technique
offers the advantage of low overlap current spikes during the switching transitions
of conventional CMOS gates. This overlap current spike has become one of...
The movement characteristics of five landslides are
compared and interpreted based on records of approximately
10-years duration. Condon landslide in the Oregon Coast
Range has consistently exhibited brief (1 - 8 days) movement
episodes in wet winter months, separated by long periods of
no movement. The translatory movement is probably...
The fundamental aim of this study was to determine how Malaysians define both leisure
and recreation. Two ethnic groups, Chinese and Malays, and rural and urban variants of these
groups were included in the sample. The other objective was to determine if there were differences
in the definitions due to...
This is the first study to explore the ability of an enzyme to recognize and repair
spontaneous age-dependent damage to its own sequence. Protein (D-aspartyl/L-isoaspartyl)
carboxyl methyltransferase (PCM) is known to repair damage that arises
from a spontaneous isomerization of aspartyl and asparaginyl residues in other proteins
during aging. As...
The use of edible coatings in combination with antimicrobial
agents enhances the microbial stability of foods. In this study we
evaluated the potassium sorbate and sorbic acid permeability of an
edible methylcellulose (MC) - palmitic acid (PA) film with a MC:PA
ratio of 3:1.
Permeability cell measurements were used to...
In order to better characterize linker histone interactions with DNA, avian erythrocyte-specific linker H5 and the trypsin-resistant globular domain of H5 (GH5) were used in DNA binding studies. To begin, H5 displayed a considerably higher binding
affinity for DNA than the isolated globular domain (GH5), supporting the importance of the...
