Mononitration of durene
Reaction conditions under which the nitration of durene give predominantly, and in high yield, mononitrodurene (I), rather than dinitrodurene were found. The nitrating agent was No2+RF6-. Nitration with nitrosulfuric acid also gave mononitrodurene; however, byproducts such as 2.3.5.6-Me4C6HCH2C6H2Me3-2,4,5, were also formed. The NO2 PF6- gave an intermediate additional compound with durene. The reaction carried out with 3.6-dideuterodurene in D2O shows no isotope effect
Assumptions that imply quantum dynamics is linear
A basic linearity of quantum dynamics, that density matrices are mapped
linearly to density matrices, is proved very simply for a system that does not
interact with anything else. It is assumed that at each time the physical
quantities and states are described by the usual linear structures of quantum
mechanics. Beyond that, the proof assumes only that the dynamics does not
depend on anything outside the system but must allow the system to be described
as part of a larger system. The basic linearity is linked with previously
established results to complete a simple derivation of the linear Schrodinger
equation. For this it is assumed that density matrices are mapped one-to-one
onto density matrices. An alternative is to assume that pure states are mapped
one-to-one onto pure states and that entropy does not decrease.Comment: 10 pages. Added references. Improved discussion of equations of

Canonical Expansion of PT-Symmetric Operators and Perturbation Theory
Let be any \PT symmetric Schr\"odinger operator of the type on , where is
any odd homogeneous polynomial and . It is proved that is
self-adjoint and that its eigenvalues coincide (up to a sign) with the singular
values of , i.e. the eigenvalues of . Moreover we
explicitly construct the canonical expansion of and determine the singular
values of through the Borel summability of their divergent
perturbation theory. The singular values yield estimates of the location of the
eigenvalues \l_j of by Weyl's inequalities.Comment: 20 page
Der internistische Check-up
Zusammenfassung: Viele präventive Maßnahmen bei gesunden Erwachsenen werden in zunehmendem Maße durch Evidenz gestützt oder verworfen. Dabei sind v.a. die Beratung bezüglich Tabakabstinenz, indizierte Impfungen und das Screening in Bezug auf Übergewicht, hohen Blutdruck, Hyperlipidämie, Zervixkarzinom, kolorektales Karzinom und Mammakarzinom bewiesenermaßen wichtig und sinnvoll. Nicht empfohlen wird ein Screening für Bronchial-, Pankreas- und Ovarialkarzinom. Ein Screening für Diabetes mellitus beim jüngeren Erwachsenen, Schilddrüsenerkrankungen und Prostatakarzinom wird nicht routinemäßig empfohlen, sollte aber je nach persönlichem Risikoprofil im Sinne eines sog. "Case findings" erwogen werden. Aus ärztlicher Sicht ist es auch wichtig, auf mögliche nicht deklarierte Beweggründe für eine Check-up-Untersuchung einzugehen, um so mögliche "Hidden Agendas" der Konsultationen aufzudecke
Distributional Borel Summability of Odd Anharmonic Oscillators
It is proved that the divergent Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation expansions
for the eigenvalues of any odd anharmonic oscillator are Borel summable in the
distributional sense to the resonances naturally associated with the system
Design of an N^7-Glycosylated Purine Nucleoside for Recognition of GC Base Pairs by Triple Helix Formation
Pyrimidine oligodeoxyribonucleotides bind in the major groove of DNA parallel to the purine Watson-Crick strand by formation of specific hydrogen bonds between thymine and adenine (T•AT triplet) and protonated cytosine and guanine (C+GC triplet) on the Hoogsteen face of the purine base. Alternatively, purine oligodeoxyribonucleotides bind in an antiparallel orientation relative to the purine Watson-Crick strand by formation of G•GC and A•AT triplets. The prerequisite protonation of cytosine in C+GC triplets leads to a considerable pH dependence in the binding affinity of C-containing oligodeoxyribonucleotides (Figure 1). Substitution of 5-methylcytosine (^mC) for cytosine results in increased binding affinities near physiological pH. In an attempt to eliminate the necessity for protonation, recent efforts have been directed toward the synthesis of nonnatural nucleosides which display the hydrogen bonding functionality of protonated cytosine
28-jähriger Patient mit erfolgreich behandelter dilatativer Kardiomyopathie
Zusammenfassung: Ein 28-jähriger Patient wurde mit dekompensierter Herzinsuffizienz notfallmäßig zugewiesen. In der Vorgeschichte bestand ein hypogonadotroper Hypogonadismus. Echokardiographisch fand sich eine dilatative Kardiomyopathie. Ein erhöhtes Serumferritin und eine Eisenüberladung in der Leberbiopsie ließen eine hereditäre Hämochromatose vermuten. Die kardiale Beteiligung konnte mittels Magnetresonanztomographie nachgewiesen werden. Genetische Abklärungen ergaben eine homozygote Mutation für G320V und bewiesen eine juvenile Hämochromatose. Eine Aderlasstherapie führte innerhalb eines Jahres zur Normalisierung des Eisenstatus und der kardialen Pumpfunktio
Free Fermionic Heterotic Model Building and Root Systems
We consider an alternative derivation of the GSO Projection in the free
fermionic construction of the weakly coupled heterotic string in terms of root
systems, as well as the interpretation of the GSO Projection in this picture.
We then present an algorithm to systematically and efficiently generate input
sets (i.e. basis vectors) in order to study Landscape statistics with minimal
computational cost. For example, the improvement at order 6 is approximately
10^{-13} over a traditional brute force approach, and improvement increases
with order. We then consider an example of statistics on a relatively simple
class of models.Comment: Standard Latex, 12 page
Integrating Data on Ethnicity, Geography, and Conflict: The Ethnic Power Relations Dataset Family.
ArticleThis article introduces the new Family of Ethnic Power Relations (EPR) data sets, version 2014, which is the latest in a series of data sets on ethnicity that have stimulated civil war research in the past decade. The EPR Family provides data on ethnic groups’ access to state power, their settlement patterns, links to rebel organizations, transborder ethnic kin relations, and intraethnic cleavages. The new 2014 version does not only extend the data set’s temporal coverage from 2009 to 2013, but it also offers several new features, such as a new measure of regional autonomy that is independent of national-level executive power and a new data set component coding intraethnic identities and cleavages. Moreover, for the first time, detailed documentation of the EPR data is provided through the EPR Atlas. This article presents these novelties in detail and compares the EPR Family 2014 to the most relevant alternative data sets on ethnicity.Swiss National Science FoundationSwiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC
