Homogeneous redox catalysed reduction of chloromethyldimethylchlorosilane
The electrochemical reduction of chloromethyldimethylchlorosilane, affording 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-1,3-disilacyclobutane, involves a dissociative electron transfer to the LUMO which contains the predominant contribution of the Si-Cl orbitals, and results in the C-Cl bond cleavage. The reduction of trimethylchlorosilane occurs through the dissociative Si-Cl bond rupture. In the course of the reduction of chloromethyltrimethylsilane, the α-silicon stabilisation of the negative charge makes an individual anion radical to appear on the reaction coordinate. © 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Penile metastasis from primary transitional cell carcinoma of the renal pelvis: first manifestation of systemic spread
BACKGROUND: Almost one-third of all penile metastases are detected at the same time as a primary tumor, whereas the remaining two-thirds are detected a mean of 18 months after the discovery of the primary tumor. Cutaneous metastasis of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) is extremely rare and generally accepted as the late manifestation of a systemic spread. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the first case of simultaneous penile and lung metastases from a primary TCC of the renal pelvis in a 76-year-old man, that occurred 8 years after a left nephroureterectomy. CONCLUSIONS: This case report underscores the importance of physical examinations of the skin of patients who undergo surgical procedures for TCC from bladder as well as from the upper urinary tract, including those seemingly without metastatic disease, because of the possibility of skin and penile metastatic spread
Tetrakis(trimethylsilyloxy)silane for nanostructured SiO2-like films deposited by PECVD at atmospheric pressure
We performed the thin films deposition using atmospheric pressure plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (AP-PECVD) by means of a radiofrequency and a microwave plasma jets operating with mixtures of argon and tetrakis(trimethylsilyloxy)silane (TTMS)
Ionospheric gas dynamics of satellites and diagnostic probes
The gas dynamics of interactions of a tenuous ionosphere with moving satellites and probes that have bearings on the diagnostics of the ionosphere are discussed. Emphasis is on the cases where the body is moving at mesothermal speeds, namely intermediate between the thermal speeds of ions and electrons of the ambient ionosphere. Methods of collision-free plasma kinetics with self-consistent field are used. The development of the topics for discussion starts with stationary Langmuir probe which entails the basic mechanism of body-plasma interaction that becomes further intricated as the body moves at a higher and higher speed. Applications of the theory of plasma interaction to meteors which move in the ionosphere are also presented.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/43801/1/11214_2004_Article_BF00212707.pd
