    Description: We investigate the electronic structure of a complex conventional superconductor, ZrB12 employing high resolution photoemission spectroscopy and ab initio band structure calculations. The experimental valence band spectra could be described reasonably well within the local density approximation. Energy bands close to the Fermi level possess t2g symmetry and the Fermi level is found to be in the proximity of quantum fluctuation regime. The spectral lineshape in the high resolution spectra is complex exhibiting signature of a deviation from Fermi liquid behavior. A dip at the Fermi level emerges above the superconducting transition temperature that gradually grows with the decrease in temperature. The spectral simulation of the dip and spectral lineshape based on a phenomenological self energy suggests finite electron pair lifetime and a pseudogap above the superconducting transition temperature.

    Notes: The kinetics of degradation of butyl rubber in two solvents, cyclohexane and toluene, was studied by two independent techniques: viscosity measurements and free-radical estimation as a function of DPPH consumed. The general shape of the rate curves in the two cases is similar, but not identical. The rate given by estimation of DPPH is faster than that obtained from solution viscosity data. This has been attributed to the inherent limitations of the two methods for the quantitative determination of the number of breaks occurring in the polymer molecules. The rate is also reduced as the viscosity of the solution medium is increased, which may be correlated with the reduction of the cavitation effect responsible for degradation. The degradation rates in two solvent media initially having the same viscosity were unequal. This may be due to different solvent-solute characteristics, which means that the viscosity and cavitation change to different extents in the two cases throughout the course of degradation. The limiting degree of Polymerization (DP)∞ obtained after prolonged irradiation has been found to be dependent on parameters such as intensity of irradiation, solution viscosity, and initial DP of the molecules.

    Notes: Schemes have been worked out for the quantitative separation and subsequent determination of the constituents in a number of alloys containing Au—Cu, Cu—Al, Fe—Au and Fe—Cu—Al by the ring oven technique. Gold is migrated to the ring zone by extraction with n-butanol at pH = 1.5 and iron or copper with acetylacetone. Aluminium is moved to the ring zone by acidified ethanol.

    Description / Table of Contents: In Gegenwart von Vanadiumpentoxid als heterogenern Katalysator Wurde N-Vinylcarbazol (NVC) in Substanz polymerisiert. Die Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeit hängt vom Verhältnis des Katalysators zum Monomeren ab. Es wurde ein kationischer Reaktionsmechanismus vorgeschlagen, und es wurde versucht, die Rolle der V2O5-Oberfläche bei der Polymerisation aufzuklären. Es wird vermutet, daß die π-Säureeigenschaft des V5⊕-Ions bei der Initiierung der Polymerisation miteinbezogen werden muß.Die Wirkung einer Anzahl von Zusätzen auf die Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeit wurde untersucht; das Ergebnis bekräftigt die Annahme eines kationischen Verlaufs.Es wurde auch die katalytische Wirksamkeit einer Anzahl von Metallvanadaten bei der Polymerisation von NVC untersucht. Es ergab sich eine hinreichend gute Bezichung zwischen der katalytischen Wirksamkeit und dem elektronegativen Charakter des metallischen Bestandteils.
    Notes: Bulk polymerization of N-Vinylcarbazole (NVC) has been carried out using vanadium pentoxide as the contact catalyst. The rate of polymerizatlon has been found to depend upon catalyst to monomer ratio. A cationic mechanism has been suggested and the role of V2O5 surface in the polymerization has been tentatively analyzed. The π-acid characteristies of V5⊕ ion is believed to be involved in initiating the polymerization. The effect of a number of additives on the polymerization rate has been studied, which endorses the cationic mechanism. The catalytic efficiency of a number of metal vanadates for the polymerization of NVC has also been studied. A fairly good correlation between the activity and electronegativity of the metallic moiety has been established.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die DNS-abhängige RNS-Synthese wird durch basische Proteine, wie Histone oder Polylysin, gehmmt: es wurde gefunden, daß dieser Hemmungseffekt durch Phosvitin, ein phosphoprotein, aufgehoben wird. Turbidimetrische Untersuchungen ergaben, daß Polylysin mit DNS iind RNS in stöchiometrischem Verhältnis reagiert.Es wird angenommen, daß diese Reaktion mit DNS die Ursache des Hemmungseffektes ist. Noch wirksamer als DNS reagiert Phosvitin mit Polylysin. Phosvitin kann in viel geringerer als der stöchiometrischen Menge mit DNS um Polylysin konkurrieren, also DNS freisetzen und als Matrize für die RNS-Synthese verfügbar machen. Phosphoserin ist, im Gegensatz zu Phosvitin, unwirksam bei der Aufhebung des Hemmungseffektes von Polylysin.
    Notes: DNA dependent RNA asynthesis in inhibited by basic proteins like histones or polylysine This inhibitory effect is found to be suppressed by phosvitin, which is a phosphoprotein. Turbidometric studies indicate that polylysine interacts with DNA and RNA stoichiometrically. This interaction with DNA has been thought to be the cause of this inhibitory effect. Phovitin also interacts with polylysine more effectively than DNA. Phosvitin in quantities much less than the stoichionietric amount can compete with DNA for the polylysine and can thus make DNA free and available as template for the RNA synthesis. Phosphoserine, unlike pbosvitin, is ineffective in suppressing the inhibitory effect of polylysine.

    Notes: A few redox systems containing thiourea as reductant have been found to be quite effective in initiating vinyl polymerization in aqueous media and polymers obtained in the process have all been found to contain amino endgroups to various extents by the application of dye techniques. Quite a few oxidants have so far been utilized for this purpose; among them are ferric chloride (Fe3+), ethylene dibiguanide complex salts of tripositive silver (Ag3+), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), persulfate (S2O82-), bromate (BrO3-) + hydrochloric acid (HCl). In case of oxidants Fe3+ and Ag3+, amino endgroups are mainly incorporated in polymers; but in case of oxidants H2O2 and S2O82-, fragments of oxidants are also incorporated as hydroxyl and sulfate endgroups. BrO3-, however, forms a very efficient redox-initiating system with thiourea, as is evidenced by its capability of polymerizing even hydroquinone-stabilized water-soluble vinyl monomers at very low temperature (∼0°C.) and at a quite rapid rate. Besides amino endgroups, sulfonate endgroups have also been detected in polymers in this case, and the relative extents of these two types of endgroups depend generally on the acid concentration of the system. Evidences so far collected indicate the generation of S—C(=NH)NH2 radicals in the system by oxidation of isothiourea, HS—C(=NH)NH2, and these are incorporated in polymers as endgroups. Sulfonate endgroups may be generated by oxidation of these amino-bearing endgroups. Suitable initiation mechanisms have been suggested in each case.

    Description: Crystalline solids undergo plastic deformation and subsequently flow when subjected to stresses beyond their elastic limit. In nature most crystalline solids exist in polycrystalline form. Simulating plastic flows in polycrystalline solids has wide ranging applications, from material processing to understanding intermittency of earthquake dynamics. Using phase field crystal (PFC) model we show that in sheared polycrystalline solids the atomic displacement field shows spatio-temporal heterogeneity spanning over several orders of length and time scales, similar to that in amorphous solids. The displacement field also exhibits localized quadrupolar patterns, characteristic of two dislocations of the opposite sign approaching each other. This is a signature of crystallinity at microscopic scale. Polycrystals being halfway between single crystals and amorphous solids, in terms of the degree of structural order, descriptions of solid mechanics at two widely different scales, namely continuum plastic flow and discrete dislocation dynamics turns out to be necessary here.

    Description: Severe sepsis or septic shock is one of the rising causes for mortality worldwide representing nearly 10% of intensive care unit admissions. Susceptibility to sepsis is identified to be mediated by innate pattern recognition receptors and responsive signaling pathways of the host. The c-Jun N-terminal Kinase (JNK)-mediated signaling events play critical role in bacterial infection triggered multi-organ failure, cardiac dysfunction and mortality. In the context of kinase specificities, an extensive library of anthrapyrazolone analogues has been investigated for the selective inhibition of c-JNK and thereby to gain control over the inflammation associated risks. In our comprehensive biochemical characterization, it is observed that alkyl and halogen substitution on the periphery of anthrapyrazolone increases the binding potency of the inhibitors specifically towards JNK. Further, it is demonstrated that hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions generated by these small molecules effectively block endotoxin-induced inflammatory genes expression in in vitro and septic shock in vivo, in a mouse model, with remarkable efficacies. Altogether, the obtained results rationalize the significance of the diversity oriented synthesis of small molecules for selective inhibition of JNK and their potential in the treatment of severe sepsis.
