2,4-Bis(2-methoxy­phenyl)-3-aza­bicyclo­[3.3.1]nonan-9-one

In the title compound, C22H25NO3, the mol­ecule has a pseudo-mirror plane. The structure is a positional isomer of 2,4-bis(4-methoxy­phenyl)-3-aza­bicyclo­[3.3.1]nonan-9-one [Cox, McCabe, Milne & Sim (1985 ▶). J. Chem. Soc. Chem. Commun. pp. 626–628]. The 3-aza­bicyclo­[3.3.1]nonan-9-one moiety adopts a double chair conformation with equatorial orientations of both 2-methoxy­phenyl substituents on either side of the secondary amino group. The benzene rings are oriented at an angle of 33.86 (4)° with respect to each other and the meth­oxy groups point towards the carbonyl group. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular N—H⋯π inter­actions

Engineering two-dimensional nodal semimetals in functionalized biphenylene by fluorine adatoms

We propose a new band engineering scheme on the biphenylene network, a newly synthesized carbon allotrope. First, we investigate the mechanism for the appearance of type II Dirac fermion in a pristine biphenylene network. We show that the essential ingredients are mirror symmetries and the stabilization of the compact localized eigenstates via destructive interference. While the former is used for the band-crossing point along high symmetry lines, the latter makes the obtained Dirac dispersion highly inclined. Then, we demonstrate that many other different kinds of Dirac fermions, such as type-I Dirac, gapped type-II Dirac, and nodal line semimetals, can be developed by fluorinating the biphenylene network periodically in various ways. In this program, the key role of the fluorine atoms is manipulating the condition of the destructive interference and mirror symmetries

2,4-Bis(2-bromo­phen­yl)-3-aza­bicyclo­[3.3.1]nonan-9-one

In the mol­ecular structure of the title compound, C20H19Br2NO, the fused six-membered heterocyclic and cyclo­hexane rings adopt a twin-chair conformation with equatorial orientations of all the substituents. Both the ortho-bromo substituents of the benzene rings are oriented towards the carbonyl group; the dihedral angle between the ring planes is 29.13 (3)°. In the crystal structure, the N—H group does not participate in any hydrogen bonds

EFFECTS OF LIQUID SWIRLING ON GAS-TO-LIQUID MASS TRANSFER IN THREE-PHASE FLUIDIZED BEDS

The swirling flow mode of liquid phase was adopted to promote the gas-to-liquid mass transfer in three-phase(gas-liquid-solid) fluidized beds. Effects of gas(0.01-0.09m/s) and liquid(0.035-0.172m/s) velocities, particle size(1.7-6.0mm) and swirling ratio of liquid phase(0-0.5) on the volumetric gas-to-liquid mass transfer coefficient in the bed were examined. The mass transfer coefficient increased up to 70% by adjusting the swirling flow of liquid phase, especially when the gas velocity is relatively low range. The value of gas-to-liquid mass transfer coefficient was well correlated in terms of dimensionless groups which were derived from the dimensional analysis on the mass transfer system

New Heteroleptic Cobalt Precursors for Deposition of Cobalt-Based Thin Films

A new series of heteroleptic complexes of cobalt were synthesized using aminoalkoxide and ??-diketonate ligands. The complexes, [Co(dmamp)(acac)]2 (3), [Co(dmamp)(tfac)]2 (4), [Co(dmamp)(hfac)]2 (5), [Co(dmamp)(tmhd)]2 (6), and [Co(dmamb)(tmhd)]2 (7), were prepared by two-step substitution reactions and studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Complexes 3-7 displayed dimeric molecular structures for all of the complexes with cobalt metal centers interconnected by ??2-O bonding by the alkoxy oxygen atom. TGA and a thermal study of the complexes displayed high volatilities and stabilities for complexes 6 and 7, with sublimation temperatures of 120 ??C/0.5 Torr and 130 ??C/0.5 Torr, respectively

Rocuronium bromide induced anaphylaxis in a child -A case report-

Anaphylaxis or anaphylactoid reaction in pediatric patient during anesthesia is rare. We report a rocuronium induced anaphylactic reaction in a 33-month-old female. The patient was scheduled to undergo escharectomy due to injuries suffered from a major burn. Shortly after administration of rocuronium, the patient developed severe hypotension, tachycardia, and hypoxia. A similar reaction occurred after administration of rocuronium on subsequent anesthesia. She underwent uneventful anesthesia with volatile induction and maintenance of anesthesia with sevoflurane on her next 7 operations without using of muscle relaxant

Automated volumetric segmentation method for computerized-diagnosis of pure nodular ground-glass opacity in high-resolution CT

While accurate diagnosis of pure nodular ground glass opacity (PNGGO) is important in order to reduce the number of unnecessary biopsies, computer-aided diagnosis of PNGGO is less studied than other types of pulmonary nodules (e.g., solid-type nodule). Difficulty in segmentation of GGO nodules is one of technical bottleneck in the development of CAD of GGO nodules. In this study, we propose an automated volumetric segmentation method for PNGGO using a modeling of ROI histogram with a Gaussian mixture. Our proposed method segments lungs and applies noise-filtering in the pre-processing step. And then, histogram of selected ROI is modeled as a mixture of two Gaussians representing lung parenchyma and GGO tissues. The GGO nodule is then segmented by region-growing technique that employs the histogram model as a probability density function of each pixel belonging to GGO nodule, followed by the elimination of vessel-like structure around the nodules using morphological image operations. Our results using a database of 26 cases indicate that the automated segmentation method have a promising potential

Classification of Benign/Malignant PNGGOs using K-means algorithm in MDCT Images: A Preliminary Study

Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent diseases in the world. Recently, PNGGOs (Pure nodular ground-glass opacity) have been reported to increasing aspect for all CT-detected pulmonary nodules. Moreover, the malignancy rate of PNGGOs is a considerable proportion of benign diseases. In this study, we have developed a computerized classification scheme of PNGGOs malignancy. Segmentation of PNGGOs was performed semi-automatically. After that, the histogram based statistical features and region based features of benign and malignant GGO was extracted. Finally, K-means classifier was applied. Experiment was performed employing 12 CT image sets and 91.67% of accuracy was achieved
