An effective rhodium catalyst system on the synthesis of acetic acid from methyl formate

Rh/Lil/SnR₄ is an effective catalyst system for the conversion of methyl formate to acetic acid under carbon monoxide pressure. The effects of solvent and initial CO partial pressure on the turnover rate of the reaction were investigated. The possibility of replacing some of the iodide promoters by tin compounds has been probed.

Peptide YY inhibition of rat gastric enterochromaffin-like cell function

The present study determined tumorigenicity, tumor classification and DNA damage induced in infant mice by benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) or Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) residues after a single exposure. Male and female B6C3F1 mice were exposed to B[a]P or MGP residue from a single environmental site (MGP-4) and males were also exposed to MGP residue composite from seven different sites (MGP-M7). At 26, 39 and 52 weeks after exposure tumorigenesis was assessed in lung, forestomach and liver. Formation and persistence of DNA adducts were quantified by 32P-postlabeling. Exposure of males to B[a]P induced liver tumors in a dose and time dependent manner. MGP induced more advanced tumors than B[a]P. Only a single liver tumor was found in MGP-4 treated females. No forestomach and few pulmonary adenomas were induced in males or females. MGP-4, MGP-M7 or B[a]P induced DNA adducts in males and females. Adducts in liver, lung and forestomach peaked on different days and decreased at different rates. At 24 h post-exposure, no significant differences in initial DNA adduct levels occurred in males and females exposed to MGP-4 or B[a]P. Lack of DNA damage (adducted DNA) did not account for non-responsiveness of lung and forestomach in B6C3F1 genders as well as in liver in females. MGP tumorigenicity could not be accounted for solely by B[a]P content nor did it reflect additivity of B[a]P and other carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in MGP. Synergy among MGP-PAHs, presence of unidentified carcinogens and/or promoters in MGP may account for MGP potency. The B6C3F1 infant male model is a convenient and rapid assay for assessing MGP liver tumorigenicity and potency.     

Ultralow-voltage boron-doped diamond field emitter vacuum diode

A boron-doped diamond field emitter diode with ultralow turn-on voltage and high emission current is reported. The diamond field emitter diode structure with a built-in cap was fabricated using molds and electrostatic bonding techniques. The emission current versus anode voltage of the capped diamond emitter diode with boron doping, sp² content, and vacuum thermal electric (VTE) treatment shows a very low turn-on voltage of 2 V. A high emission current of 1 μA at an anode voltage of less than 10 V can be obtained from a single diamond tip. The turn-on voltage is significantly lower than comparable silicon field emitters     

The role of glutathione in dopaminergic neuronal survival

An increased production of reactive oxygen species is thought to be critical to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease. At autopsy, patients with either presymptomatic or symptomatic Parkinson's disease have a decreased level of glutathione in the substantia nigra pars compacta. This change represents the earliest index of oxidative stress in Parkinson's disease discovered to this point. This study compares the sensitivity of dopaminergic and nondopaminergic neurons in dissociated mesencephalic cultures to the depletion of glutathione. We have found that dopaminergic neurons are more resistant to the toxicity of glutathione depletion than nondopaminergic neurons. The possibility that dopaminergic neurons have a higher baseline glutathione level than nondopaminergic neurons is suggested by measurements of levels of cellular glutathione in a parallel system of immortalized embryonic dopaminergic and nondopaminergic cell lines. We also examined the role of glutathione in 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium toxicity. Decreasing the glutathione level of dopaminergic neurons potentiates their susceptibility to 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium toxicity, although 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium does not deplete glutathione from primary mesencephalic cultures. Our data suggest that although a decreased glutathione content is not likely to be the sole cause of dopaminergic neuronal loss in Parkinson's disease, decreased glutathione content may act in conjunction with other factors such as 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium to cause the selective death of dopaminergic neurons.     

Matrix unit cell scheduler (MUCS) for input-buffered ATM switches

This paper presents a novel matrix unit cell scheduler (MUCS) for input-buffered asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switches. The MUCS concept originates from a heuristic strategy that leads to an optimal solution for cell scheduling. Numerical analysis indicates that input-buffered ATM switches scheduled by MUCS can utilize nearly 100% of the available link bandwidth. A transistor-level MUCS circuit has been designed and verified using HSPICE. The circuit features a regular structure, minimal interconnects, and a low transistor count. HSPICE simulation indicates that using 2-μm CMOS technology, the MUCS circuit can operate at clock frequency of 100 MHz     

Lossless subband coding system based on rounding transform

We propose a new rounding transform called the overlapping rounding transform (ORT). It is defined as a two-port input/two-port output FIR filtering system with a pair of rounding operations. The ORT is applied to develop lossless subband coding systems. The ORT approach has both a simpler representation and more possibilities for lossless subband implementation than the lifting scheme     

Statistical estimation of average power dissipation usingnonparametric techniques

In this paper, we present a new statistical technique for estimation of average power dissipation in digital circuits. The present parametric statistical technique estimates the average power based on the assumption that the power distribution can be characterized by a preassumed function. Large error can incur when the assumption is not met. On the other hand, the existing nonparametric technique, although accurate, is too conservative and requires a large sample size in order to achieve convergence. For a good tradeoff between simulation accuracy and computational efficiency, we propose a new nonparametric technique using the properties of the order statistics. It is generally applicable to any type of circuit irrespective of its power distribution function. Compared to the existing nonparametric technique, it is much more computationally efficient since it requires a much smaller sample size to achieve the same accuracy specification. This new technique is implemented in the distribution-independent power estimation tool (DIPE). DIPE is empirically demonstrated to be more robust and accurate than the parametric technique     

Ascorbic acid is a stimulatory cofactor for mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase

We describe in this report a sensitive and direct method for the analysis of tamoxifen (TAM) in microsamples of plasma. The drug and internal standard (quinine bisulfate, I.S.) were separated on a 10-microm particle, 10 cm X 8 mm CN cartridge in conjunction with a radial compression system. The mobile phase was a mixture of 0.1 M sodium acetate in 0.001 M tetrabutylammonium phosphate solution (pH 6) and methanol (30:70, v/v) at a flow-rate of 4 ml/min. After addition of I.S. and o-phosphoric acid in acetonitrile (0.6 M) to the plasma (30 microl), the mixture was placed in an ultraviolet shortwave transluminator for 2 min prior to injection into the chromatograph. The compounds were detected in the effluent fluorometrically at excitation and emission wavelengths of 258 and 378 nm, respectively. Under these conditions, no interference in the assay from any endogenous substance or other concurrently used drugs was observed and the retention times of I.S. and TAM were 4.4 and 10.15 min, respectively. The concentration of TAM in plasma was linearly (r>0.9983) related to the peak height ratio (TAM/I.S.) in the range 0.01-2.0 microg ml(-1) and C.V. at 0.075, 0.4 and 1.2 microg ml(-1) was < or = 4.96%. We are currently using this assay for monitoring TAM in plasma and investigating its pharmacokinetics in cancer patients receiving cytotoxic drugs in addition to TAM as a multi-drug resistance modifier.
