Isolation and Spectroscopic Characterization of Eu@C72

A new Eu-endohedral fullerene cage, namely, Eu@C₇₂, was synthesized, separated, and a single isomer, Eu@C₇₂-I, has been isolated by multi-step HPLC for the first time and characterized by LDI-TOF mass spectrometry, UV-Vis and EPR spectroscopy. Additionally, a second isomer, Eu@C₇₂-II, has been separated by HPLC and identified by LDI-TOF mass spectrometry.     

Complementarity determining region residues aspartic acid at H55, serine at H95 and tyrosines at H97 and L96 play important roles in the B72.3 antibody-TAG72 antigen interaction

Structural analysis derived from the crystallographic studyof the chimeric B72.3 antibody illustrated some major atomicinteractions between complementarity determining region (CDR)residues. For example, hydrogen bonds are formed between H35/H95,L50/H97, H53/H55 and H96/L96 respectively. These CDR residuesmay play important roles in the B72.3–TAG72 (antibody-antigen)interaction either by direct interaction with the TAG72 antigenor by maintaining a CDR loop conformation through atomic interactionsbetween CDR residues. In order to confirm these assumptions,we altered these CDR residues by site-directed mutagenesis anddetermined binding affinities of these mutant chimeric antibodiesfor the TAG72 antigen in a solid-phase radioimmunoassay. Wefound that H55, H95, H97 and L96 are important CDR residuesfor the B72.3–TAG72 interaction. Single amino acid substitutionsof aspartic acid and serine by alanine at H55 of CDR2 and atH95 of CDR3 respectively and of tyrosine by phenylalanine atH97 and L96 of CDR3, significantly reduced the binding affinityfor the TAG72 antigen by 20-, 8-, 16- and 45-fold respectively.Therefore, this study reveals some of the requirements for maintainingthe integrity of the B72.3 antibody combining sites.     

Parameterized complexity of control problems in Maximin election

Elections are a central model in a variety of areas. This paper studies parameterized computational complexity of five control problems in the Maximin election. We obtain the following results: constructive control by adding candidates is W[2]-hard with respect to the parameter “number of added candidates”; both constructive and destructive control by adding/deleting voters are W[1]-hard with respect to the parameter “number of added/deleted voters”.     

Detecting change-points in Markov chains

Markov chains provide a flexible model for dependent random variables with applications in such disciplines as physics, environmental science and economics. In the applied study of Markov chains, it may be of interest to assess whether the transition probability matrix changes during an observed realization of the process. If such changes occur, it would be of interest to estimate the transitions where the changes take place and the probability transition matrix before and after each change. For the case when the number of changes is known, standard likelihood theory is developed to address this problem. The bootstrap is used to aid in the computation of p-values. When the number of changes is unknown, the AIC and BIC measures are used for model selection. The proposed methods are studied empirically and are applied to example sets of data.     

Improved electrocatalytic kinetics of nickel hydroxide nanoparticles on Vulcan XC-72R carbon black towards alkaline urea oxidation reaction

Nickel hydroxide nanoparticles were fabricated on Vulcan XC-72R carbon black using various reducing agents through assisted microwave polyol process. The formed electrocatalysts using sodium borohydride [Ni(OH)₂/C–NB], ethylene glycol [Ni(OH)₂/C–EG] and a mixture of them [Ni(OH)₂/C–EGNB] displayed an electrocatalytic activity towards urea oxidation in NaOH solution. The oxidation peak potential and current density values were greatly influenced by the employed reducing agent. Lower onset and peak potential values were measured at Ni(OH)₂/C–EGNB, while Ni(OH)₂/C–EG exhibited the highest oxidation current density during urea oxidation reaction. Electroactive surface area measurements revealed that the number of available active sites for the oxidation reaction was arranged in an ascending order as Ni(OH)₂/C–NB < Ni(OH)₂/C–EGNB < Ni(OH)₂/C–EG. The diffusion coefficient of urea molecules at Ni(OH)₂/C–EG and Ni(OH)₂/C–EGNB was 14.69 and 5.90 times higher than that at Ni(OH)₂/C–NB. Stable performance was measured at all studied electrocatalysts over prolonged operation suggesting their valuable application as efficient anode materials in direct urea oxidation fuel cells.

Abstract

‘The good is oft interred with their bones.’ Much of what has been written of William Henry Fox Talbot has done him meagre justice: criticism for patenting his inventions, accusations that he patented the ideas of others, denigration of the importance of his discoveries. Though acknowledged as a scientist, his place as an artistic worker in the medium he invented has not been appreciated.     

A Bayesian spatial econometric analysis of the 2010 UK General Election

The Conservative Party won the 2010 General Election in the United Kingdom, gaining the most votes and seats of any single party. Using Bayesian spatial econometric methods, we show that significant spatial dependence exists in Conservative voting behaviour and select the spatial Durbin model as the best model to explain this phenomenon. This paper examines these spatial effects as well as the effects of a range of economic, socio‐economic, and political variables. Perhaps the most interesting result is that incumbency has effects beyond an incumbent's own constituency.     

Effects of club size in the provision of public goods. Network and congestion effects in the case of the French municipalities

The article formalizes and measures the impact of club size on the quality of the public good provided to its members. Under a general framework we describe various functional forms that allow either network or crowding effects. Mechanisms of provision are that of a political process in which both the demand and the supply sides are considered. Estimations use the whole set of French municipalities. The supply model performs better than the demand model in the case of small municipalities, while for large cities the demand model has higher explanatory power. In so far as impact of city size on the quality of club goods is concerned, crowding does appear, but it does so in different patterns. For small towns marginal congestion first decreases then increases with population. Marginal congestion is decreasing for cities of intermediate size. For larger cities no significant effects are observed.

Regular ordered semigroups in terms of fuzzy subsets

Given a set S, a fuzzy subset of S (or a fuzzy set in S) is, by definition, an arbitrary mapping f : S → [0, 1] where [0, 1] is the usual interval of real numbers. If the set S bears some structure, one may distinguish some fuzzy subsets of S in terms of that additional structure. This important concept of a fuzzy set was first introduced by Zadeh. Fuzzy groups have been first considered by Rosenfeld, fuzzy semigroups by Kuroki. A theory of fuzzy sets on ordered groupoids and ordered semigroups can be developed. Some results on ordered groupoids-semigroups have been already given by the same authors in [N. Kehayopulu, M. Tsingelis, Fuzzy sets in ordered groupoids, Semigroup Forum 65 (2002) 128-132; N. Kehayopulu, M. Tsingelis, The embedding of an ordered groupoid into a poe-groupoid in terms of fuzzy sets, Inform. Sci. 152 (2003) 231-236; N. Kehayopulu, M. Tsingelis, Fuzzy bi-ideals in ordered semigroups, Inform. Sci. 171 (2004) 13-28] where S has been endowed with the structure of an ordered semigroup and defined “fuzzy” analogous for several notions that have been proved to be useful in the theory of ordered semigroups. The characterization of regular rings in terms of right and left ideals is well known. The characterization of regular semigroups and regular ordered semigroups in terms of left and right ideals or in terms of left, right ideals and quasi-ideals is well known as well. The characterization of regular le-semigroups (that is lattice ordered semigroups having a greatest element) in terms of right ideal elements and left ideal elements or right, left and quasi-ideal elements is also known. In the present paper we first give the main theorem which characterizes the regular ordered semigroups by means of fuzzy right and fuzzy left ideals. Then we characterize the regular ordered semigroups in terms of fuzzy right, fuzzy left ideals and fuzzy quasi-ideals. The paper serves as an example to show that one can pass from the theory of ordered semigroups to the theory of “fuzzy” ordered semigroups. Some of our results are true for ordered groupoids in general.
