We introduce an augmented Becker-DeGroot-Marschak mechanism for the revelation of willingness-to-accept and willingness-to-pay in transaction cycles. The mechanism can be used to test for a behavioral anomaly. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. ...
The titanium-mediated cyclopropanation reaction using Ti((OPr)-Pr-i)(3)Me/EtMgBr/BF3 center dot OEt2 has been applied to various 2-cyanopyrrolidines for the synthesis of functionalized 2-(1-aminocyclopropyl)pyrrolidine-3,4-diol derivatives (dideoxyiminoald ...
The uncertainty of the crack tip position inside composite coupons during a delamination test under variable fracture mode conditions reduces the accuracy of the experimental results. In this work a method is presented where the crack tip position is locat ...
Pseudomonas phage phi KZ and its two close relatives phi PA3 and 201 phi 2-1 are very large bacteriophages that form a separate branch in phage classification because their genomes are very different from the rest of GenBank sequence data. The contractile ...
The arene osmium metalla-prism (p-cymene)(6)Os-6(donq)(3)(tpt)(2) (2) (donq 5,8-dioxydo-1,4-naphthoquinonato, tpt 2,4,6-tri(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazine) has been prepared from the dinuclear arene osmium precursor [(p-cymene)(2)Os-2(donq)Cl-2] ...
In this paper, the IrO2 electrode preparation technique consisting in thermal treatment of pure Ir in air was used in order to produce an IrO2-based microelectrode-array (TOIROF-MEA) with low capacitive background current. The TOIROF-MEA was characterized ...
Dwork, Lynch, and Stockmeyer [3] and Lamport [4] showed that, in order to solve Consensus in a distributed system, it is sufficient that the system behaves well during a finite period of time. In sharp contrast, Chandra. Hadzilacos, and Toueg [6] proved th ...
New oxathiazinane dioxides have been derived from D- and L-serine and tested for their in vitro cell growth inhibitory activity toward SKBR3 breast cancer cells. (5R)-5-(4-(4'-Bromomethyl)phenyl)benzyloxymethyl-[1,3,4]-oxathiazinane- 3,3-dioxide showed a c ...
Tip-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) has shown promise as a tool for in situ nanoscale chemical analysis, and is also leading to a better understanding of the fundamentals of surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy. In this work, the latest developments, cha ...
