We have previously found that a pyrazole derivative 1 possesses antibacterial activity and inhibitory against DNA gyrase topoisomerase IV. Here, we synthesized new derivatives 5-[(E)-2-(5-chloroindol-3-yl)vinyl]pyrazole 16 potent selective bacterial topoisomerases. Many of the were clinically isolated quinolone- or coumarin-resistant Gram-positive strains had minimal concentration values these equivalent to those susceptible strains.
Abstract DDR‐type zeolite membranes were prepared by the secondary growth method on porous α‐alumina disk, followed on‐stream counter diffusion chemical vapor deposition modification to eliminate intercrystalline micropores. Single gas permeation of He, H 2 , CO and through this membrane before after CVD was measured in 25–500°C. Intracrystalline diffusivities for these four gases obtained from data above 300°C examine effects size molecular weight permeating rate membrane. For unmodified...

Physical exercise has beneficial effects on neurocognitive function, including hippocampus-dependent episodic memory. Exercise intensity level can be assessed according to whether it induces a stress response; the most effective for improving hippocampal function remains unclear. Our prior work using special treadmill running model in animals shown that stress-free mild increases neuronal activity and promotes adult neurogenesis dentate gyrus (DG) of hippocampus, spatial memory performance....

Abstract We summarize chemical characteristics of chromian spinels from ultramafic to mafic plutonic rocks (lherzolites, harzburgites, dunites, wehrlites, troctolites, olivine gabbros) with regard three tectonic settings (mid‐ocean ridge, arc, oceanic hotspot). The range is distinguishable between the in terms Cr# (= Cr/(Cr + Al) atomic ratio) and Ti content. relationships are almost parallel those volcanic rocks, but content slightly lower plutonics than volcanics at a given environment....
In this paper we present the design of a wearable device that reads positive facial expressions using physiological signals. We first analyze morphology in 3 dimensions and electromyographic signals on different locations show can detect with high amplitude areas low mobility side face, which are correlated to ones obtained from electrodes traditional surface capturing positions top muscles front face. use multi-attribute decision-making method find adequate electrode face capture these...
In this research we introduce a wearable sensory system for motion intention estimation and control of exoskeleton robot. The comprises inertial sensors shoe-embedded force sensors. utilizes an instrumented cane as part the interface between user reflects upper limbs, is used in terms human inter-limb synergies. developed provides assisted coherence with other unassisted limbs. together body worn sensors, assistance start, stop continuous walking. We verified function proposed method through...
[reaction: see text] A diammonium salt of chiral 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine and trifluoromethanesulfonimide (Tf(2)NH) shows excellent catalytic activity enantioselectivity for the Diels-Alder reaction alpha-acyloxyacroleins with cyclic dienes. For example, in presence 5 mol % ammonium catalyst, alpha-(cyclohexanecarbonyloxy)acrolein cyclopentadiene proceeded EtCN at -75 degrees C to give adducts 88% yield 92% exo 91% ee. This catalyst can be easily prepared situ by mixing commercially...
Abstract X‐ray diffraction patterns have been obtained from liquid metals (Al, Ga, In, Tl, Pb, Sn, Bi) near the melting point. After calculating structure factor (Fourier analysis), atomic radial distribution function was evaluated which interatomic distance and coordination number were obtained. It has shown that ratio ( K 2 / 1 ) of position first peak to second in is a very useful parameter represent metals.
Abstract Na 3 Zr 2 Si PO 12 ( NASICON ) is a promising material as solid electrolyte for all‐solid‐state sodium batteries. Nevertheless, one challenge the application of in batteries their high sintering temperature above 1200°C, which can lead to volatilization light elements and undesirable side reactions with electrode materials at such temperatures. In this study, liquid‐phase BO NBO additive was performed first time lower temperature. A dense ‐based ceramic successfully obtained by...
Here, we present a study on exoskeleton robot control based inter-limb locomotor synergies using method developed to target hemiparesis. The is and kinesiological information from the non-paretic leg walking aid cane generate motion patterns for assisted leg. synergy-based system was tested against an autonomous in five patients with hemiparesis varying abilities. Three of participants were able walk robot. Results these showed improved spatial symmetry ratio more consistent step length...

A series of novel tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as aldose reductase inhibitors (ARIs) on the basis their abilities to inhibit porcine lens (AR) in vitro sorbitol accumulation sciatic nerve streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats vivo. Of these compounds, spirosuccinimide-fused tetrahydropyrrolo[1, 2-a]pyrazine-1,3-dione showed significantly potent AR inhibitory activity. In vivo activity derivatives,...
When designing systems that support remote instruction on physical tasks, one must consider four requirements: 1) participants should be able to use non-verbal expressions, 2) they take an appropriate body arrangement see and show gestures, 3) the instructor monitor operators objects, 4) organize of bodies tools gestural expression sequentially interactively. GestureMan was developed satisfy these requirements by using a mobile robot embodies instructors actions. The mounts camera control...
Abstract A diammonium salt of chiral 1,1′‐binaphthyl‐2,2′‐diamine ( 2a ) and trifluoromethanesulfonimide (Tf 2 NH) shows excellent catalytic activity enantioselectivity for the Diels–Alder reaction α‐acyloxyacroleins. For example, in presence 5 mol % 9.5 Tf NH, α‐(cyclohexanecarbonyloxy)acrolein with cyclopentadiene proceeded EtCN at −75 °C to give adducts 88 yield 92 exo 91 ee . The electron‐donating property acyl group α‐acyloxyacroleins increases due formation strong intramolecular...
