Formation of ternary complexes between Gd-DTPA, Gd-DTPA-BMA, and Gd-DOTA, used as contrast enhancement agents in MRI and the endogenously available carbonate and phosphate ions, has been demonstrated. The extent of ternary complex formation and its effect on the proton relaxation, measured at 9 MHz, rates is negligibl…
Various bacteria are able to grow aerobically or anaerobically on malonate as sole source of carbon and energy. Independent of the mechanism for energy conservation, the decarboxylation of malonate is the key reaction in the decomposition of this compound. To achieve malonate decarboxylation under physiological condit…

We report the ab initio structure solutions of C(6)H(5)OM (M = K, Rb, Cs) by high-resolution powder X-ray diffraction. The compounds, which are of interest for reactions of the Kolbe-Schmitt type, are isostructural. The crystal structures are orthorhombic, space group Pna2(1), Z = 12, with lattice parameters (a, b, c…
Abstract A systematic method is presented to synthesize reactive crystallization processes. It shows how to selectively crystallize a desired solid product(s) after a reaction step and how to use compound formation to effect separation of a mixture. The method is based on the generation of phase diagrams with liquid‐p…
Dithiolium salts, with amphipathic character, are compounds of choice for investigations of the influence of an ionic feature upon mesomorphic properties. In this way, salts bearing a branched chain have been studied by SAXS. In spite of their rod-like shape, they exhibit only columnar mesophases, the supramolecular o…
Phosphor thin films of ZnS:Mn on Si(100) have been subject to electron bombardment (0.6–4 keV) over a range of pressures from 1×10−6 to 5×10−8 Torr. Various gases including hydrogen, oxygen, and water vapor were introduced into the ambient during bombardment, to assess their effects on the phosphor surface. Auger elec…
Covers advancements in spacecraft and tactical and strategic missile systems, including subsystem design and application, mission design and analysis, materials and structures, developments in space sciences, space processing and manufacturing, space operations, and applications of space technologies to other fields.
The electronic structures of a variety of metal nonahalides, MM'X(9), with the {d(3)d(3)} configuration are examined using broken-symmetry density functional theory. Complexes containing trivalent ions of the chromium triad and tetravalent ions of the manganese triad are considered, where metal-metal interactions rang…
Heating properties of magnetite cationic liposomes (MCL) were investigated in ex vivo experiments using implanted cell pellets. The cell pellets, which consisted of rat glioma T9 cells into which MCL had been incorporated in a petri dish, were implanted subcutaneously in the left femoral region of female F344 rats. Th…
ICR studies of the interactions between methanol and the family of Mo x O y + ions ( x = 1−3, y = 1−9) in the gas phase are reported. Molybdenum oxide ions participate in four types of reactions with the CH 3 OH molecule that show rather profound similarities with the reactions of methanol over heterogeneous and homog…
In plant, the catabolism of lysine has only been studied in some detail in maize. The enzymes lysine 2-oxoglutarate reductase (also known as lysine alpha-ketoglutarate reductase; LOR) and saccharopine dehydrogenase (SDH), which convert lysine into saccharopine, and saccharopine into glutamic acid and 2-aminoadipate 6-…
Insight into the dynamic properties of alpha-lytic protease (alpha LP) has been obtained through the use of low-temperature X-ray crystallography and multiple-conformation refinement. Previous studies of alpha LP have shown that the residues around the active site are able to move significantly to accommodate substrat…
The formation, growth, and dissolution of the passive film on iron in neutral and alkaline solutions was investigated using a light reflectance technique. In this study, laser light of 325 nm was used to access the amount of light absorbed in the film and to evaluate the optical absorption coefficient. After calibrati…
Ligands that are transported by the maltose transport system of Escherichia coli must first bind to the periplasmic maltose-binding protein (MBP). However, binding of a ligand does not always lead to its transport. As reported earlier, reduced or oxidized maltodextrins bind tightly to MBP but are not transported; some…
A novel and quantitative study on structure−property relationships has been carried out in urea crystal, based on the dielectric theory of complex crystals and the modified Levine bond charge model, mainly from the chemical bond viewpoint. For the first time, it was treated like this, and the bond parameters and linea…
The chemical, physical and symmetry constraints of an electron-density map impose relationships between structure factors, and these relationships are exploited during refinement. However, constraints often allow an artificially high correlation between the model and the original structure factors, a flaw known as mod…
The cooperative upconversion processes of erbium ions in silver film ion-exchanged waveguides in a phosphate glass were studied from the pump intensity dependence of luminescence decay curves. Cooperative upconversion coefficients of the 4I13/2 level, 7.7±0.7×10-19 and 9.3±0.7×10-19 cm3/s, were obtained for an Er3+ co…
We investigated the glass former triphenyl phosphite by calorimetry, Brillouin scattering, and dielectric and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Time-resolved experiments demonstrate the conversion between three distinctly different phases, namely, the supercooled liquid, a recently discovered apparently amorpho…
This study was performed to evaluate the effect of dose on the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of the gadolinium-based contrast medium gadoxetic acid, disodium, [gadolinium (4S)-4-(4-ethoxybenzyl)-3,6,9-tris(carboxylatomethyl)-3,6, 9-triazaundecandioic acid-disodium salt] (Gd-EOB-DTPA) as a liver-specific hepatobiliary…
