Eight species of Lathvrus (Fabaceae, Faboideae) endemic to the
Pacific Coast of North America were the subject of a systematic
investigation. Taxa studied included Lathvrus vestitus, Nutt. ex T.
& G., L. laetif lorus Greene, L.. iepsonii Greene, £,. splendens
Kellogg, L. polvphvllus, Nutt. ex T. & G., L. holochlorus...
Typologies of intimate violence are part of an emerging paradigm towards a multifaceted, multi-theoretical approach to understanding the causes and effects of intimate violence. For this new paradigm to be implemented into research and practice, there are several gaps in the knowledge base that must be addressed. In particular, there...
The enantioselective total synthesis of quinolizidine-containing natural product cermizine D and formal syntheses of senepodine G and cermizine C has been achieved. These natural products are members of the lycopodium alkaloids, which have attracted significant attention due to their exciting biological activities and the diverse structural scaffolds. Key steps in...
In this work, I address foundational concerns at the interface of institutions, governance structure, transaction costs, and efficiency in public-private contracting. Following transaction cost economic perspective, I build and justify the theoretical models explaining that institutions may affect the economic performance of public-private contracting through the effect of transaction costs....
A new algorithm, the Horizontal and Vertical Algorithm, for
on-line detection of deadlocks in distributed computer systems, is
presented. Two protocols for implementing the algorithm are given.
The first protocol, the centralized protocol, is based on the
assumption that one site in the network acts as the controller for
global...
Nine Gray Podzolic soils from different physiographic regions
of Thailand were studied to determine their characteristics and
genesis in relation to their parent materials, land form, pedogenic
environment, classification and management. The clay was characterized
by X-ray diffraction and standard chemical and physical
analyses were performed. Mineralogy of the light...
Lycopodium alkaloids have shown widespread and noteworthy biological activity, consisting of over 250 known natural products. Moreover, their structural complexity and diversity have attracted considerable attention from numerous laboratories including our own. Recently, we have developed a unified approach that would provides access to numerous, previously unprepared C₁₀-functionalized lycopodium alkaloids....
Poor aqueous solubility of a large number of newly discovered chemical entities is posing a significant challenge for the formulation industry and is delaying their drug development. The number of formulation techniques available to solubilize these poorly soluble molecules is very limited. In addition to that, traditional formulation methods involve...
