High-spin structure and Band Termination in Cd
Excited states of the neutron deficient Cd nucleus have been
investigated via the Ge(Cl, p3n) reaction at beam energy of 135
MeV by use of in-beam spectroscopic methods. Gamma rays depopulating the
excited states were detected using the Gammasphere spectrometer with high-fold
-ray coincidences. A quadrupole -ray coincidence analysis
() has been used to extend the known level scheme. The positive
parity levels have been established up to and
MeV. In addition to the observation of highly-fragmented level scheme belonging
to the positive-parity sequences at E 5 MeV, the termination of a
negative-parity sequence connected by transitions has been established at
and MeV. The experimental results
corresponding to both the positive- and negative-parity sequences have been
theoretically interpreted in the framework of the core particle coupling model.
Evidence is presented for a shape change from collective prolate to
non-collective oblate above the (8011 keV) level and for a
smooth termination of the negative-parity band.Comment: 19 pages, 8 figures. Submitted to Phys. Rev.

Synthesis of β-amino alcohols by ring opening of epoxides with amines catalyzed by sulfated tin oxide under mild and solvent-free conditions
One significant and elegant method for creating β-amino alcohols, which are useful intermediates for the synthesis of many different natural and synthetic pharmaceutical compounds, is to open the rings of epoxides with amines. When sulfated tin oxide catalyst (2 mol%) is present, epoxides can open their rings and react with amines to produce corresponding β-amino alcohols in good to high yields under mild circumstances. Under clean circumstances and in a short amount of time, the reaction demonstrated high regioselectivity and functioned well with both aromatic and aliphatic amines at room temperature
Level Structure of 103Ag at high spins
High spin states in Ag were investigated with the Gammasphere array,
using the Ge(Cl,)Ag reaction at an incident beam
energy of 135 MeV. A =1 sequence with predominantly magnetic
transitions and two nearly-degenerate doublet bands have been
observed. The dipole band shows a decreasing trend in the strength as
function of spin, a well established feature of magnetic bands. The
nearly-degenerate band structures satisfy the three experimental signatures of
chirality in the nuclei; however microscopic calculations are indicative of a
magnetic phenomeno
Systems genetics identifies a role for Cacna2d1 regulation in elevated intraocular pressure and glaucoma susceptibility
Glaucoma is a multi-factorial blinding disease in which genetic factors play an important role. Elevated intraocular pressure is a highly heritable risk factor for primary open angle glaucoma and currently the only target for glaucoma therapy. Our study helps to better understand underlying genetic and molecular mechanisms that regulate intraocular pressure, and identifies a new candidate gene, Cacna2d1, that modulates intraocular pressure and a promising therapeutic, pregabalin, which binds to CACNA2D1 protein and lowers intraocular pressure significantly. Because our study utilizes a genetically diverse population of mice with kno

of thymine have been irradiated with high energy (20-30) MeV α-particles in
oxygen, argon and nitrous oxide saturated conditions, the degradation was found
to be much larger. From the observation, it may be concluded that there is formation
of oxygen in the track of α-particles
which sensitizes the radiation degradation

A NEW RELATED SUBSTANCES METHOD DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF TWO ANTI-CANCER DRUGS BY USING EFFECTIVE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHIC METHOD
Objective: The present study was aimed at developing and successively validating novel, simple, responsive and stable RP-HPLC method for the measurement of active pharmaceutical ingredients of mitomycin and fluorouracil and their related substances.
Methods: Using the impurity-spiked solution, the chromatographic approach was optimized. The chromatographic method used Luna C18 column of dimensions 150x4.6 mn, 3.5 μm, using gradient elution with a mobile phase of acetonitrile and 0.1 percent orthophosphoric acid. A flow rate of 1 ml/min and a detector wavelength of 260 nm using the PDA detector was provided in the instrumental settings. Recovery, specificity, linearity, accuracy, robustness, ruggedness was determined as a part of method validation and the results were found to be within the acceptable range.
Results: According to the ICH guidelines, the developed approach was validated. The calibration charts plotted were linear with a regression coefficient of R2>0.999.
Conclusion: The method developed was found to be applicable to routine analysis and to be used for the measurement of active pharmaceutical ingredients (i. e, Mitomycin and Fluorouracil and its related impurities). Since there is no HPLC method reported in the literature for the estimation of Mitomycin, Fluorouracil and its related impurities; there is a need to develop quantitative methods under different conditions to achieve improvement in specificity, selectivity etc
