Synthesis of a bis-strapped porphyrin with a pyridyl residue on one side and a malonic acid on the other side gives after iron(II) insertion a six-coordinate complex in which both apical groups are the two axial ligands of the iron atom. Unexpectedly, this six-coordinate iron(II) complex proves to be high-spin, likely…

The Josephson current through a long $s$-wave superconductor/weak ferromagnet/$s$-wave superconductor weak link is studied theoretically in the regime of nonequilibrium spin-dependent occupation of electron states in the ferromagnetic interlayer. While under the considered nonequilibrium conditions, the standard super…

To determine the anti-complement activity of natural diterpenes, chromatographic separation of the acetone-soluble fraction from the roots of Clerodendrum bungei (Verbenaceae) led to the isolation of five diterpenoids. An acetone-soluble extract of the roots of C. bungei exhibited significant anti-complement activity…

The thermal characteristics of de-energized ac motors are largely different from those of operating ac motors. For ac motors operated with intermittent periodic duty cycles, conventional techniques largely overestimate the required thermal recovery time in each operating cycle, which results in the reduction of usage…
