obspy.taup - Ray Theoretical Travel Times and Paths¶
|The ObsPy Development Team (firstname.lastname@example.com)
|GNU Lesser General Public License, Version 3 (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html)
This package started out as port of the Java TauP Toolkit by [Crotwell1999] so please look there for more details about the algorithms used and further information. It can be used to calculate theoretical arrival times for arbitrary seismic phases in a 1D spherically symmetric background model. Furthermore it can output ray paths for all phases and derive pierce points of rays with model discontinuities.
Basic Usage¶
Let's start by initializing a TauPyModel instance. Models can be initialized by specifying the name of a model provided by ObsPy. Names of available builtin models (in obspy/taup/data folder) are provided by BUILTIN_TAUP_MODELS.
>>> from obspy.taup import TauPyModel
>>> model = TauPyModel(model="iasp91")
Model initialization is a fairly expensive operation so make sure to do it only if necessary. Custom built models can be initialized by specifying an absolute path to a model in ObsPy's .npz model format instead of just a model name. See below for how to build a .npz model file.
Travel Times¶
The models' main method is the get_travel_times() method; as the name suggests it returns travel times for the chosen phases, distance, source depth, and model. Per default it returns arrivals for a number of phases.
>>> arrivals = model.get_travel_times(source_depth_in_km=55,
... distance_in_degree=67)
>>> print(arrivals)
28 arrivals
P phase arrival at 647.036 seconds
pP phase arrival at 662.230 seconds
sP phase arrival at 668.702 seconds
PcP phase arrival at 674.868 seconds
PP phase arrival at 794.975 seconds
PKiKP phase arrival at 1034.106 seconds
pPKiKP phase arrival at 1050.535 seconds
sPKiKP phase arrival at 1056.727 seconds
S phase arrival at 1176.947 seconds
pS phase arrival at 1195.500 seconds
SP phase arrival at 1196.827 seconds
sS phase arrival at 1203.128 seconds
PS phase arrival at 1205.418 seconds
SKS phase arrival at 1239.088 seconds
SKKS phase arrival at 1239.107 seconds
ScS phase arrival at 1239.515 seconds
SKiKP phase arrival at 1242.400 seconds
pSKS phase arrival at 1260.313 seconds
sSKS phase arrival at 1266.919 seconds
SS phase arrival at 1437.417 seconds
PKIKKIKP phase arrival at 1855.260 seconds
SKIKKIKP phase arrival at 2063.556 seconds
PKIKKIKS phase arrival at 2069.749 seconds
SKIKKIKS phase arrival at 2277.833 seconds
PKIKPPKIKP phase arrival at 2353.930 seconds
PKPPKP phase arrival at 2356.420 seconds
PKPPKP phase arrival at 2358.925 seconds
SKIKSSKIKS phase arrival at 3208.154 seconds
If you know which phases you are interested in, you can also specify them directly which speeds up the calculation as unnecessary phases are not calculated. Please note that it is possible to construct any phases that adhere to the naming scheme which is detailed later.
>>> arrivals = model.get_travel_times(source_depth_in_km=100,
... distance_in_degree=45,
... phase_list=["P", "PSPSPS"])
>>> print(arrivals)
3 arrivals
P phase arrival at 485.204 seconds
PSPSPS phase arrival at 4983.023 seconds
PSPSPS phase arrival at 5799.225 seconds
Each arrival is represented by an Arrival object which can be queried for various attributes.
>>> arr = arrivals[0]
>>> arr.ray_param, arr.time, arr.incident_angle
(453.7188..., 485.2041..., 24.3968...)
Ray Paths¶
To also calculate the paths travelled by the rays to the receiver, use the get_ray_paths() method.
>>> arrivals = model.get_ray_paths(500, 130)
>>> arrival = arrivals[0]
The result is a NumPy record array containing ray parameter, time, distance and depth to use however you see fit.
>>> arrival.path.dtype
dtype([('p', '<f8'), ('time', '<f8'), ('dist', '<f8'), ('depth', '<f8')])
Pierce Points¶
If you only need the pierce points of ray paths with model discontinuities, use the get_pierce_points() method which results in pierce points being stored as a record array on the arrival object.
>>> arrivals = model.get_pierce_points(500, 130)
>>> arrivals[0].pierce.dtype
dtype([('p', '<f8'), ('time', '<f8'), ('dist', '<f8'), ('depth', '<f8')])
If ray paths have been calculated, they can be plotted using the plot() method:
>>> arrivals = model.get_ray_paths(source_depth_in_km=500,
... distance_in_degree=130)
>>> arrivals.plot()
(Source code, png, hires.png)
Plotting will only show the requested phases:
>>> arrivals = model.get_ray_paths(
... source_depth_in_km=500,
... distance_in_degree=130,
... phase_list=["Pdiff", "Sdiff", "pPdiff", "sSdiff"])
>>> arrivals.plot()
(Source code, png, hires.png)
Additionally, Cartesian coordinates may be used instead of a polar grid:
>>> arrivals = model.get_ray_paths(source_depth_in_km=500,
... distance_in_degree=130,
... phase_list=["ttbasic"])
>>> arrivals.plot(plot_type="cartesian")
(Source code, png, hires.png)
More examples of plotting may be found in the ObsPy tutorial.
Phase naming in obspy.taup¶
This section is a modified copy from the Java TauP Toolkit documentation so all credit goes to the authors of that.
A major feature of obspy.taup is the implementation of a phase name parser that allows the user to define essentially arbitrary phases through the Earth. Thus, obspy.taup is extremely flexible in this respect since it is not limited to a pre-defined set of phases. Phase names are not hard-coded into the software, rather the names are interpreted and the appropriate propagation path and resulting times are constructed at run time. Designing a phase-naming convention that is general enough to support arbitrary phases and easy to understand is an essential and somewhat challenging step. The rules that we have developed are described here. Most of the phases resulting from these conventions should be familiar to seismologists, e.g. pP, PP, PcS, PKiKP, etc. However, the uniqueness required for parsing results in some new names for other familiar phases.
In traditional "whole-Earth" seismology, there are 3 major interfaces: the free surface, the core-mantle boundary, and the inner-outer core boundary. Phases interacting with the core-mantle boundary and the inner core boundary are easy to describe because the symbol for the wave type changes at the boundary (i.e., the symbol P changes to K within the outer core even though the wave type is the same). Phase multiples for these interfaces and the free surface are also easy to describe because the symbols describe a unique path. The challenge begins with the description of interactions with interfaces within the crust and upper mantle. We have introduced two new symbols to existing nomenclature to provide unique descriptions of potential paths. Phase names are constructed from a sequence of symbols and numbers (with no spaces) that either describe the wave type, the interaction a wave makes with an interface, or the depth to an interface involved in an interaction.
- Symbols that describe wave-type are:
- P - compressional wave, upgoing or downgoing; in the crust or mantle, p is a strictly upgoing P-wave in the crust or mantle
- S - shear wave, upgoing or downgoing, in the crust or mantle
- s - strictly upgoing S-wave in the crust or mantle
- K - compressional wave in the outer core
- I - compressional wave in the inner core
- J - shear wave in the inner core
- Symbols that describe interactions with interfaces are:
- m - interaction with the Moho
- g appended to P or S - ray turning in the crust
- n appended to P or S - head wave along the Moho
- c - topside reflection off the core mantle boundary
- i - topside reflection off the inner core outer core boundary
- ˆ - underside reflection, used primarily for crustal and mantle interfaces
- v - topside reflection, used primarily for crustal and mantle interfaces
- diff appended to P or S - diffracted wave along the core mantle boundary
- kmps appended to a velocity - horizontal phase velocity (see 10 below)
The characters p and s always represent up-going legs. An example is the source to surface leg of the phase pP from a source at depth. P and S can be turning waves, but always indicate downgoing waves leaving the source when they are the first symbol in a phase name. Thus, to get near-source, direct P-wave arrival times, you need to specify two phases p and P or use the "ttimes compatibility phases" described below. However, P may represent a upgoing leg in certain cases. For instance, PcP is allowed since the direction of the phase is unambiguously determined by the symbol c, but would be named Pcp by a purist using our nomenclature.
Numbers, except velocities for kmps phases (see 10 below), represent depths at which interactions take place. For example, P410s represents a P-to-S conversion at a discontinuity at 410km depth. Since the S-leg is given by a lower-case symbol and no reflection indicator is included, this represents a P-wave converting to an S-wave when it hits the interface from below. The numbers given need not be the actual depth; the closest depth corresponding to a discontinuity in the model will be used. For example, if the time for P410s is requested in a model where the discontinuity was really located at 406.7 kilometers depth, the time returned would actually be for P406.7s. The code would note that this had been done. Obviously, care should be taken to ensure that there are no other discontinuities closer than the one of interest, but this approach allows generic interface names like "410" and "660" to be used without knowing the exact depth in a given model.
If a number appears between two phase legs, e.g. S410P, it represents a transmitted phase conversion, not a reflection. Thus, S410P would be a transmitted conversion from S to P at 410km depth. Whether the conversion occurs on the down-going side or up-going side is determined by the upper or lower case of the following leg. For instance, the phase S410P propagates down as an S, converts at the 410 to a P, continues down, turns as a P-wave, and propagates back across the 410 and to the surface. S410p on the other hand, propagates down as a S through the 410, turns as an S-wave, hits the 410 from the bottom, converts to a p and then goes up to the surface. In these cases, the case of the phase symbol (P vs. p) is critical because the direction of propagation (upgoing or downgoing) is not unambiguously defined elsewhere in the phase name. The importance is clear when you consider a source depth below 410 compared to above 410. For a source depth greater than 410 km, S410P technically cannot exist while S410p maintains the same path (a receiver side conversion) as it does for a source depth above the 410. The first letter can be lower case to indicate a conversion from an up-going ray, e.g., p410S is a depth phase from a source at greater than 410 kilometers depth that phase converts at the 410 discontinuity. It is strictly upgoing over its entire path, and hence could also be labeled p410s. p410S is often used to mean a reflection in the literature, but there are too many possible interactions for the phase parser to allow this. If the underside reflection is desired, use the pˆ410S notation from rule 7.
Due to the two previous rules, P410P and S410S are over specified, but still legal. They are almost equivalent to P and S, respectively, but restrict the path to phases transmitted through (turning below) the 410. This notation is useful to limit arrivals to just those that turn deeper than a discontinuity (thus avoiding travel time curve triplications), even though they have no real interaction with it.
The characters ˆ and v are new symbols introduced here to represent bottom-side and top-side reflections, respectively. They are followed by a number to represent the approximate depth of the reflection or a letter for standard discontinuities, m, c or i. Reflections from discontinuities besides the core-mantle boundary, c, or inner-core outer-core boundary, i, must use the ˆ and v notation. For instance, in the TauP convention, pˆ410S is used to describe a near-source underside reflection. Underside reflections, except at the surface (PP, sS, etc.), core-mantle boundary (PKKP, SKKKS, etc.), or outer-core-inner-core boundary (PKIIKP, SKJJKS, SKIIKS, etc.), must be specified with the ˆ notation. For example, Pˆ410P and PˆmP would both be underside reflections from the 410km discontinuity and the Moho, respectively. The phase PmP, the traditional name for a top-side reflection from the Moho discontinuity, must change names under our new convention. The new name is PvmP or Pvmp while PmP just describes a P-wave that turns beneath the Moho. The reason why the Moho must be handled differently from the core-mantle boundary is that traditional nomenclature did not introduce a phase symbol change at the Moho. Thus, while PcP makes sense since a P-wave in the core would be labeled K, PmP could have several meanings. The m symbol just allows the user to describe phases interaction with the Moho without knowing its exact depth. In all other respects, the ˆ - v nomenclature is maintained.
Currently, ˆ and v for non-standard discontinuities are allowed only in the crust and mantle. Thus there are no reflections off non-standard discontinuities within the core, (reflections such as PKKP, PKiKP and PKIIKP are still fine). There is no reason in principle to restrict reflections off discontinuities in the core, but until there is interest expressed, these phases will not be added. Also, a naming convention would have to be created since "p is to P" is not the same as "i is to I".
Currently there is no support for PKPab, PKPbc, or PKPdf phase names. They lead to increased algorithmic complexity that at this point seems unwarranted. Currently, in regions where triplications develop, the triplicated phase will have multiple arrivals at a given distance. So, PKPab and PKPbc are both labeled just PKP while PKPdf is called PKIKP.
The symbol kmps is used to get the travel time for a specific horizontal phase velocity. For example, 2kmps represents a horizontal phase velocity of 2 kilometers per second. While the calculations for these are trivial, it is convenient to have them available to estimate surface wave travel times or to define windows of interest for given paths.
As a convenience, a ttimes phase name compatibility mode is available. So ttp gives you the phase list corresponding to P in ttimes. Similarly there are tts, ttp+, tts+, ttbasic and ttall.

It's something we all need... and as photographers something we capture everyday.
With these old style bulbs being phased out around the world for the new energy saving versions I thought Id grab a few from the local pound shop and play around with them while I still can.
For this one I cracked a small hole in the bottom of the bulb leaving the rest intact, to see what I could get from burning the element with the glass still around it.
Its definitely different to doing it with no glass (you lose the big mushroom) but its still rather pretty
Anyway I hope you all enjoy the image.. and lets all say goodbye to the old style bulb, I'm sure we will all miss it once its gone.

Good info by WSJ,will use it surely from now onwards!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is North West area is not part of Delhi. Its totally ignored by CM, as every body knows she belongs from East Delhi, therefore, she never like to take care of people who lives towards northern & western side of Delhi. I would urge to CM (being a lady) she never think about the villages of Delhi. Govt has snatcher their agricultural land from them and no facility is being provided to villagers any civic types in the name facility like Roads street Lights, dirty Streets, Drinking water, wandering dogs can bite you if you try to visit or try to live over there. Are they not casting their votes. So our politicians must look into the matter of poor people of Delhites.

Picture: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Pauley Perrette The 2011 Angel Awards Held at Project Angel Food Hollywood, California - 20.08.11
The U.S. reality TV star briefly linked to actress Jennifer Love Hewitt has been snagged as the next Bachelor.
Ben Flajnik came in a close second on the most recent season of dating show The Bachelorette and now he'll get to pick the girl, according to Life & Style magazine.
After losing Ashley Hebert's heart to JP Rosenbaum on the season finale of the Bachelorette last month (Jul11), Flajnik was romantically linked to famous admirer Love Hewitt, who met the 28-year-old winemaker on a date while he was filming in San Francisco, California.
The actress has since revealed that the couple met by coincidence and there was no romance.

A good budget hotel.
very comfortable if you are traveling by car. Lovely breakfast for all tastes
a lot of useful things around.
yard large supermarket
refueling, restaurants both simple and fast food
This hotel is not near center city and around it there is nothig to see or to do. The only two good thinks that raise the global evaluation is that it have a nice fitness area and there is internet available at the room for free. For the rest it is just for local person that can sleep with low...
We stayed at the Scout Hotel because the hotel we wanted was fully booked. There was some kind of big celebration going on in the city (as there often is), so many hotels were full.
We entered our room on the 3rd floor, and as we always do, we checked the beds and mattresses. To our horror there was evidence...
First of all, ratings tell personal preferances. Some find it as advantage, to have the hotel right at the fast roads to be in the morning quick out of the city, others prefer clearly the middle of the city. If you tend to first, you should advance to read. My kids possibly would like the hotel, you have various options...
Nice hotel, good roadside location. Reception smiley, but maybe a little bit not to chatty - a lot of questions need to asked to know breakfast timing, checkout etc, but reception is helpful in the end. Also knows business people needs in terms of invoices etc. That should be told. Very clean and specious room with comfy bed, plasma TV...
Nice and very helpful staff, good rooms. Roadside hotel.

Just purchased and used this mower for the first time today. It took about 5 minutes to assemble the mower. Don't plan on using it out of the box as it takes 14 hours to charge battery. Charging Instructions are incorrect. When you charge the battery, the charger remains red until the battery is charged. The lights on the battery do not light up during charging, only during mowing. I charged the battery overnight and was pleasantly surprised that the mower started right up. My lawn is about 6,000 sq feet. I figured I would need a second battery, but was able to hack through 12 to 15 inch grass on the high setting, then got through about 1/2 of lawn on the low setting before battery died. Seems that the engine strains on the lowest settings, but that may have been from the work out it received hacking through the jungle on the first pass. I noticed some stray tall grass after the first pass. I'm hoping this is not an ongoing issue, but I can deal with it if it is. Still, I love the fact that this mower starts up immediately with no effort and that i can easily stop and restart as I need to. I am also happy that I don't have to add oil, gas or worry about running over an AC cord. Again, this is honeymoon period. Hopefully the produt will hold up over the year.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

A surprise party can be exhilarating, but waking up from surgery and finding out you can't drive for 2 to 6 weeks is not. But that's what happens to many women who are uninformed about recovering from a scheduled C-section. Other women panic when their belly swells up after an abdominal hysterectomy, something they should know to expect, but sometimes aren't told about.
Setting expectations about recovery doesn't just help patients prepare, it reduces their stress. After all, when people know to expect things like pain, they usually tolerate it better. And knowing it's normal for something to look bruised, oozy, and scary can help reduce late-night panicky calls. More importantly, they have a better sense of when something is wrong and should call.
Patients can also be more activated to participate in their recovery. For example, sometimes, like after orthopedic surgery, patients aren't told about the potential weight gain that comes from being less mobile. While obvious to clinicians, patients often don't consider weight gain as a side effect. For many athletes, returning to the field of play is painful and hard with no guarantee. In these situations, gaining a few pounds makes recovery feel much worse.
Of course there's a lot we can do to help set expectations. Be specific, practical, and honest about what they're going to see and feel. Is something going to look really bruised and upsetting? While discharge may look like normal healing to a clinician, it can be frightening and challenging for people who aren't used to seeing it, especially on their own body.
When people know what to expect after a medical intervention they can plan and prepare. Caring for them like it was the first time, your patients will be grateful.

Feel free to comment and explain your choose.
If you have tried both, please vote which one you find sexier.

Same degree of sexy.
Dior Homme Intense
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve other Basenoters' acknowledgement or respect.
I don't think of fragrances as being "sexy". If my wife likes it, I guess it's sexy. If she doesn't I guess it's not. She likes DHI a little more, so I guess that gets my vote.
Current Winter Favorites:
1. Ormonde Jayne - Black Gold
2. Brückner - Aoud 1
3. Armani Privé - Oud Royal

DHI for men, of the flankers my girlfriend likes Homme Sport the most though.
MadHat Scents
Røyk (Incense, Woods, Amber) / Sandiver ON SALE - (Vetiver, Sandalwood, Apple & Berries, Spice, Tonka) / Fur - (Vintage Musks, Woods, Leather) / Oudhy ON SALE - (Dark Rose, Dried Woods, Oud, Musk)
They're both beautiful compositions. If a woman wore both I would chose DHI hands down. Outside of the iris opening DH has more of a masculine dry down.
Sent from Richard's Ipad
Some day's you're the statue and some days you're the pigeon.
Dior Homme is more refined and has class..to me that is sexy.
- Dior Homme is sexier in a classy night on the town sort of way.
- Dior Homme Intense is sexier in a naughty Let's Stay In Tonight sort of way.
In general, I think DHI is sexier, but it can be too forward with its intentions. To put it in context: it reminds me of a very specific second date I had. On our first date, she wore dark jeans and a sweater. Both hugged her curves nicely and she looked adorable. On our second date, she wore a dress that formed an X at the top going from her shoulders down to her waist, showing a lot of skin down the middle. Her dress left practically nothing to the imagination, and it was crystal clear what her intentions were. That was actually a turn-off, to be honest. I mean, wow, she looked astoundingly sexy, but it was way too forward given the situation.
That's my fear with a scent like DHI. It can be very forward, and that could work against you in the wrong situation. Dior Homme is second date stuff. It's sexy but classy. DHI is sexy but also kind of naughty. Both are absolutely excellent.
Sent from my brain using mental telepathy, except for the parts where my fingers typed on keys.
Intense for sure!!!
Intense in my opinion.
So... are we voting "sexiest" of these based on if a woman wore these or a man? I understand these are both extremely feminine scents, but I was thinking they were being judged on if a man wore them.. which you find sexiest on.. wait... I guess I don't understand the question. Sexy for whom? Am I judging if I smelled this on another guy? or if a woman were to wear it? or Do I think it makes myself sexy?
And what makes a scent "sexy"? Can it be sexy, but not very good? Can it be really good but not sexy?

Dior Homme Intense
I guess I'm in the minority but I believe DH is far sexier
Same, I picked DH by accident but DH and DHI are quite similar to me.
Honestly though I dont find either scent sexy, sophisticated yes, sexy NO.
Although I voted DHI, I think they're both sexy fragrances, but in different ways. While DH is brighter, confident, and serious, DHI is more flamboyant, darker and more powerful.
Sent from my brain using mental telepathy, except for the parts where my fingers typed on keys.
DHI over any scent for me!
My all time favorite:
Dior Fahrenheit
Dhi is da bomb!
Both are sexy in their own right. But my vote is for DH.
IMO DH is better smelling, classier, more versatile (casual, formal, cool weather, warm weather) and more masculine too.
DH is perfect for dates whereas DHI is more suited for clubbing.
Both, but credit is due to whom started the craze in 2005 and that is Dior Homme.
"Thank GOD for the nose, for without it we would not be enjoying these beautiful created Scents" also Remember "Balance is everything and the key to appreciating "
I still love the Dior Homme - have tried all the flankers except for DHI, and the original is still my fave. Even found some vintage DH from 2011 this past weekend
improving olfactory environments one molecule at a time....
Hypocrites will always be a thorn in my back....and my middle finger will always be the best remedy.....
I am 'sexy'
Ergo every fragrance I wear becomes so
Oh fun...another poll!
Dhi imho

Bacchant Wines, the title of the collaboration between Master Sommelier Sara Floyd and the Pisoni family, bring you this incredibly tasty and wildly affordable Pinot Noir. From fruit sourced through the Pisoni family's deep connections in the Santa Lucia Highlands and made by Jeff Pisoni, the winemaker for Lucia, this is one Pinot this season that can't miss. The densely fruited nose is packed with red cherry and framboise tones, all the while a subtle lace of black pepper runs through the aromatics of the wine. On entry the wines comes of as ripe, yet it has a refreshing tang to the red fruits that are so abundant here. Pitchy in the mouth, this has plenty of weight for the fans of heavier Pinots, but it also has enough tartness to keep this feeling alive and electric on the tongue. Bottom line, this is a steal for less than $20 (Bryan Brick, K&L) The Luli label is a project created by the Pisoni family (Lucia, Garys' Vineyard) and Master Sommelier Sara Floyd. Sourced from sustainbaly farmed vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands, this wine is a showcase for cool climate fruit. Fermented using native yeasts with only 20% new French oak, the 2008 Luli Pinot is fresh and bright, with strawberry and cherry aromas and flavors, supple tannins, ebullient acidity and a bit of spice.

I downloaded cod ghosts on my laptop windows 8.1 and when i want to launch it it says it doesnt work anymore? Am i able to play it on my laptop at all?
The game was mainly made to be played using a PC. Try checking the specs of your laptop to check if it is capable of running the game. Here's also a link to the game's Minimum System Requirements: Activision Support
Were you able to play with the game before? Can you also perhaps attach a copy of your laptop's dxdiag? Also, I would recommend what ShadowRonald said. Check on the link and see if your PC is capable of running the game.

Article: Theoretical Study on the Rearrangement of β-OH and γ-OH in ESI Mass Spectrometry by N Phosphorylation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The beta-OH group is more active than gamma-OH in many processes, such as the catalysis of the active site in enzymes and the N-->O rearrangement of N-phosphoryl amino acids in negative-ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The pentacoordinate phosphoric intermediates are proposed and the rearrangement mechanisms are studied by ab initio and density functional calculations. The formation of the intermediates comprises a concerted route and two different stepwise pathways. The concerted route is more favored. The cleavage of the P-N bond is the rate-determining step and is favored by the proton transfer. For the rearrangement of dimethoxyl phosphoryl serine anion and homoserine anion, the activation energies are 91.2 and 156.9 kJ/mol at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level, respectively. Therefore, the beta-OH group is predicted to be more active than gamma-OH and the result is in good agreement with the experiments.
Article: A common intermediate for prebiotic synthesis of proteins and nucleosides: A density functional theory (DFT) study on the formation of penta-coordinate phosphorus carboxylic-phosphoric mixed anhydride from N-phosphoryl amino acids[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: N-phosphoryl amino acids (PAA) are a unique chemical species with many chemical reactivities and properties, including the ability to self-assemble into oligopeptides. Because of their chemical characteristics, they have been proposed as the common origin for both nucleic acids and proteins. In this paper, we discussed six intramolecular mixed carboxylic–phosphoric anhydrides (IMCPAs) as possible intermediates for the prebiotic synthesis of biopolymers from PAA. We also investigated the role of water molecules in the formation of IMCPA using density functional theory B3LYP quantum mechanical calculations at the 6-31G** and 6-311+G** levels. Our results showed that the energy barrier of IMCPA formation was reduced from 19.5 kcal mol−1 to 9.9 kcal mol−1 when water participation and solvent effects were considered. Thus, the direct participation of one water molecule and the bulk solvent effects both play important roles in the formation of IMCPA.
Article: Phosphoryl group differentiating ?-amino acids from ?- and ?-amino acids in prebiotic peptide formation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In recent years β-amino acids have increased their importance enormously in defining secondary structures of β-peptides. Interest in β-amino acids raises the question: Why and how did nature choose -amino acids for the central role in life? In this article we present experimental results of MS and 31P NMR methods on the chemical behavior of N-phosphorylated -alanine, β-alanine, and -amino butyric acid in different solvents. N-Phosphoryl -alanine can self-assemble to N-phosphopeptides either in water or in organic solvents, while no assembly was observed for β- or -amino acids. An intramolecular carboxylic–phosphoric mixed anhydride (IMCPA) is the key structure responsible for their chemical behaviors. Relative energies and solvent effects of three isomers of IMCPA derived from -alanine (2a–c), with five-membered ring, and five isomers of IMCPA derived from β-alanine (4a–e), with six-membered ring, were calculated with density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-31G** level. The lower relative energy (3.2 kcal/mol in water) of 2b and lower energy barrier for its formation (16.7 kcal/mol in water) are responsible for the peptide formation from N-phosphoryl -alanine. Both experimental and theoretical studies indicate that the structural difference among -, β-, and -amino acids can be recognized by formation of IMCPA after N-phosphorylation. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Article: Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Diastereomeric Transfer of Pentacoordinated Phosphoranes Containing Valine or IsoLeucine Residue[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Pentacoordinated phosphoranes containing valine or iso-leucine residue (2-phenyl-2,7-spiro[1,3,2-phenanthrodioxaphosphole-2,2′-1,3,2-oxazaphospholan]-5′-one) were synthesized through sequential two-step reactions, whereby the reaction products of phenyldichlorophosphine with N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)valine or iso-leucine were followed by the addition of phenanthrenequione, and the crystals of 4a and 4b were obtained from benzene and hexane mixed solution. The x-ray structure of the crystals 4a and 4b revealed that they are distorted TBP, exhibiting RP absolute configuration. The P NMR spectra showed that the SP diastereomer could transfer into the other one RP that came out from the solution during crystallization. Correspondingly, when it was dissolved in solvents the RP diastereomer transferred into the other one SP, and the pair of diastereomers changed each other in solution at room temperature through a phosphonium carboxylate zwitterions intermediate.The work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 29902003), the National Science and Technology Committee of China, the Chinese Education Ministry, and Tsinghua University.

ABSTRACT: N-phosphorylamino acids are chemically active species that have many biomimic activities. alpha-COOH in amino acids and peptides behaviors rather differently than beta-COOH in many biochemical processes and takes a more important role in the origin of life. Activity differences between alpha-COOH and beta-COOH in the peptide formation of phosphoryl amino acids are studied by 1D, 2D NMR techniques and by ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) calculations in this paper. Phosphoryl dipeptide is formed directly from phosphoryl aspartic acids without any coupling reagents. Only the alpha-dipeptide ester is observed by 1D (1)H, (13)C, and (31)P NMR and 2D NMR. In the ab initio and DFT calculations, the pentacoordinate phosphorane intermediates containing five-membered rings are predicted to be more favored than those with six-membered rings. Both the experimental results and the theoretical calculations suggest that only the alpha-COOH group is activated by N-phosphorylation in N-phosphorylaspartic acid under mild conditions.
Article: Synthesis and matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry study of phosphopeptide[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The symmetry phosphoramidite reagents were synthesized via a two-step route and used for the 'one pot' synthesis of the phosphoserine building block Fmoc-Ser(PO(OBzl)OH)-OH. The procedure is simple and rapid, and product is obtained in high yield. When using this building block, the phosphopeptide (RKGS(PO3H2)SSNEPSSDSLSSPTLLAL) related to the C-terminal of c-Fos protein was synthesized manually by Fmoc/t-Bu procedure and characterized by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. In the fragment ion of phosphopeptide in the MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry with a curved field reflection, the acquired information can be used to identify the sequences and the phosphorylation sites of the peptide.

ABSTRACT: Newlase F, a crude enzyme containing lipase and protease, can be used in the synthesis of peptide conjugates; the hydrolysis conditions were optimized to increase lipase activity and suppress protease activity and in addition, N-terminal protecting groups and peptide bonds were not affected.

ABSTRACT: The biomimic reactions of N-phosphoryl amino acids are very important in the study of many biochemical processes, such as origin of proteins and phosphorylation of amino acid residues in the proteins. The differences in reactivities between α-COOH and γ-COOH in phosphoryl amino acids were studied by ab initio and density functional methods. The pentacoordinate phosphoric intermediates 2 containing five-membered rings were predicted to be more stable than 3 with seven-membered rings. For intermediates 3, the isomers with apical-equatorial ring spanning arrangement were predicted to be more stable than those with diequatorial ring spanning arrangement. At the B3LYP/6-31G** level, intermediates 2 were 66.56 kJ/mol lower in energy than 3. It was shown that the transition states 4 and 5 involving an α-COOH or γ-COOH group had energy barriers of ΔE = 57.59 kJ mol-1 and 120.93 kJ mol-1, respectively. The theoretical calculations suggested that the α-COOH group could be differentiated from the γ-COOH intramolecularly in amino acids by N-phosphorylation. These might be helpful to understand why only α-COOH, not γ-COOH, was involved in the biomimic reactions.

ABSTRACT: A crude lipase, Newlase F, was used to remove C-terminal protecting groups from dipeptide esters. Hydrolysis of dipeptide n-heptyl esters with Newlase F was conducted in aqueous media containing acetonitrile. The optimum pH and temperature of lipase in Newlase F were 7.0 and 30°C, respectively. Low level acetonitrile promoted the hydrolysis of dipeptide n-heptyl esters, while high level acetonitrile inhibited the hydrolysis. However, the protease activity in Newlase F was significantly inhibited by acetonitrile. Lipase in Newlase F worked better in a medium containing water-miscible organic solvents than in water-immiscible ones. N-terminal protecting groups were not affected by the protease in the crude enzyme. It was found that the protease in Newlase F did not hydrolyze amide bond with hydrophilic amino acids on either side under these conditions (pH 7.0, room temperature). Newlase F may consequently be used widely in the synthesis of peptide conjugates. The crude enzyme was immobilized on SBA-15 mesoporous molecular sieve. The lipase activity of immobilized preparation was more active on hydrolysis of C-terminal protecting groups and stable than the free enzyme. The immobilization also reduced the protease activity.
Article: Comparing the Penta-Coordinate Phosphoric Intermediates from N-Dimethylphosphoryl L-Aspartic Acid
Article: Negative-ion electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry ofN-phosphoryl amino acids and dipeptides[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The negative-ions of N-phosphoryl amino acids were studied by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). The negative-ion ESI-MS/MS of N-phosphoryl amino acids showed characteristic fragmentation patterns different from those observed in the corresponding positive-ion ESI-MS/MS and negative-ion fast-atom bombardment mass spectra. For negative-ion ESI-MS/MS, a unique fragmentation from the N-terminal of N-phosphoryl amino acids or peptides containing a free beta-OH or CO(2)H group was observed to yield the characteristic fragment ion (RO)(2)P(O)O(-). The ease of the rearrangement depended on the position of the hydroxyl group in amino acids or peptides, and the N --> O rearrangement mechanism was proposed to involve the participation of the hydroxyl group. From previous solution-phase experiments and theoretical calculations, it was found that the beta-OH group was more active than gamma-OH, and the corresponding difference in negative-ion ESI-MS/MS was consistent with those previous findings.

ABSTRACT: The biomimic reactions of N-phosphoryl amino acids are very important in the study of many biochemical processes. It was found that the α-COOH group, and not the γ-COOH, was involved in the ester exchange on phosphorus experimentally. The reactions, had been proposed to be related to intramolecular penta-coordinate phosphoric–carboxylic mixed anhydrides. N-Dimethylphosphoryl glutamic acid (DMP-Glu) was selected as model compound to study the reactivity difference between the α-COOH and γ-COOH group. From MNDO calculations, the energy of the penta-coordinate phosphoric intermediates containing five-membered ring from α-COOH was 40.8kJ/mol lower than that of the seven-membered one from γ-COOH. This result was in agreement with those from HF/6-31G∗∗ and B3LYP/6-31G∗∗ calculations. Theoretical three-dimensional potential energy surface of forming the intermediates predicted that the transition states 4 and 5 involving α-COOH or γ-COOH group had energy barriers of ΔE=196.1 and 216.9kJ/mol, respectively. So the α-COOH could be differentiated from γ-COOH intramolecularly in glutamic acid by N-phosphorylation.

A group of South Dakota State University fans are up early and ready to take the trek to Michigan Wednesday morning.
Fans loaded a bus in Brookings near the Swiftel Center around 5:30 a.m. And despite the early morning, the energy in the bus was high. Fans were yelling 'Go Jacks' as they boarded the bus.
Loaded with Jackrabbit gear, the bus will leave Brookings Wednesday morning, make a few stops to pick up loyal fans and then head to Auburn Hills, MI. And the bus is expected to be completely full before it leaves South Dakota.
These fans are traveling to a highly talked-about game. Two of college basketball's best point guards will meet on the court for first round play of the NCAA Tournament. SDSU's Nate Wolters will face the University of Michigan's Trey Burke.
And although they are the underdog, Jacks fans are confident their team can pull off a win.
The men play Thursday at 6 p.m. and you'll be able to watch that game on KELO-TV.
And, the women Jackrabbits will play on Saturday in Boulder, CO.

The Hard Rock Cafe is located in 6,000 square feet of what used to be a Dyeing Mill. There are split levels and live performance areas. The usual rock n roll memorablilia is on display throughout. The menu is supposed to similar to the others in the chain, but the food here was really, really awful. The beef actually stunk so bad I could not even take one bite. (This was after asking the waiter if the beef was imported. Ha Ha) Service was confused and mediocre as well. The high ceilings were nice, music was loud but okay. May be better on a live performance night. The usual Hard Rock t-shirts, etc. available in the store. Wouldn't recommend going here.
Open daily noon - 1:30 a.m.
White Lounge: Don't Spill
A concept lounge where everything's white. from the sofa's to the staff (just kidding) but it is all white. Great drinks and music mixed in with a diverse crowd. From ravers to corporates.. everyone loves this place.
Dress Code: White
China House: Open Late
The only club in bombay that stays open till 4am every night. A chore to get into post 2am, but well worth it (an extra 2 hours of Drunkard's Therapy).
Around $20 a drink with a very hip crowd and great music.
It's a restaurant cum lounge, so you can get a table and make a night out of it.
Dress Code: It's located within the Grand Hyatt in Mumbai. So dress classy, you could be rubbing shoulders with local and international stars.

The Associated Press reports a panel of 11 Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals judges will hear oral arguments today in a case questioning the constitutionality of California's DNA collection law. The law requires police to collect samples from every person arrested, the report states, noting the Ninth Circuit required attorneys on both sides of the California case to revise their arguments after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 to uphold Maryland's narrower DNA collection law. While "California Attorney General Kamala Harris and the Obama administration are both urging the court to uphold California's law as a constitutional and powerful law enforcement tool," the ACLU argues it is not constitutional because not all those arrested are charged with crimes.

Someone once told me that NaNoWriMo isnt worth doing or finishing since it doesnt pay the mortgage. At the time I could barely believe it. Had I heard right? Maybe I had, but surely she was joking.
Sadly, this statement came from a person getting ready to give up on her NaNo goal. I think of it like a person breaking up with her boyfriend because she thinks he is getting ready to break up with her. Better to be the dumper than the dumpee. In my NaNo example, she thought it was better to be a quitter than a failure.
Now, I think that if you come out of November with 100 more words than you had written going into it, thats fantastic! Not everybody has enough time for 50k, and I can respect that. What I have a problem with is someone who gives up on the story she was writing only because she knows shes not going to get that certificate of completion. It begs the question: Did you sign up for NaNoWriMo for some kind of achievement or did you do it because you love writing, have a story to tell, and want to hone your craft?
What bothered me about her statement was the idea that nothing is worth doing unless you get paid for it. Because isnt that pretty much what she said? Why are you reading that book? It doesnt pay for your groceries, after all. And why waste time with yoga class if it doesnt pay the rent? Kind of ridiculous, right?
I cant even begin to tell you how worthwhile I think spending my November writing a quick and dirty novel is. I get a story that was in my head out on paper. I look forward to the freedom of writing so fast your fingers can barely keep up with your thoughts sometimes. I believe that practice is the only way to become a better writer. And nothing compares with the sense of accomplishment I get when I write THE END on the last page of a manuscript.
My fellow WriMos, why do you spend your November writing like fiends? Ill bet its not because you expect it to pay your mortgage.
I firmly believe that not everything worth doing is something youll get paid for. In my experience, the opposite is often true.
Now let me examine the other part of her statement. Does NaNoWriMo pay your mortagage? Probably not, but can it? Well, considering that my debut novel was a NaNo baby, it just might someday.
Whatever your reason for writing, keep doing it! No, its not easy, but yes, it is worth the effort. Even if it doesnt pay your mortgage.

Melanie Amaro excited about new album
The winner of the first season of the US X Factor, Melanie Amaro, claimed that she is excited on recording her first album and admitted that there will be surprises in store. The singer insisted that she will not
give out any names but revealed that there will be some collaboration with some of the best singers.
Amaro won the maiden US X Factor and took home the $5 million prize money. She was also awarded a contract of an album and an appearance on an Pepsi advertisement during the Super Bowl.
The American artist is hopeful of recording an album that is unique and wants to adapt a style that is her own. She also expressed her desire to work with Mariah Carey on the album as she idolizes her and is a huge fan.
"I'll definitely have that same sound, but I'm going to surprise people with what's on the album and who is on the album. You've got to stick around and wait, I'm not going to give anything away! I would like to work with Mariah
Carey, and you know, whatever artist who wants to do a song with me and thinks they can stand up to my voice!" she was quoted as saying in an interview.
Melanie Amaro also offered her advice to young aspiring singers who want to audition for the next season of the X Factor. She stated that there is a lot of hard work in the competition and you have to be determined and passionate
to achieve your target.
"If you're going to come, come strong and believe in your gift. I think I proved that if you put your mind to something, you can do it. I want to inspire people. If I can do it, coming from where I'm coming from with my past, anyone
can do it," she concluded.
The singer was signed by Epic Records for a new album.

Yeah I also feel Josh deserved to win the competition ahead of Melanie.
Very disappointed. I loved this girl after watching her initial audition and all through the show. I'd leave activities just to make it home to watch the show. She was an aspiring singer initially…she has morphed into a diva meglomaniac. Comment about who can match HER voice…please…there are many, and many who sing more soulful. Would have bought the album…not any more. Will follow a regualr guy like Josh.

I gave this product to my sister when she found out her pregnancy (2 weeks). She got a baby early December and she thanked me so much because she did not get any stretch mark at all. It worked perfect! Now another sister of mine got pregnant so I will give it to her again. Hope I will use this product even for myself soon!
I think it's working

This is my second bottle. I started using from the beginning of the second trimester, and now I'm 8 months pregnant. I think it's working, as I'm not getting any stretch marks on my belly or around my breasts.
So far, so good

I'm just beginning to show, and so far this lotion is working great. It keeps me moisturized all day and has a fantastic, soothing scent. I will definitely purchase again.
Great Lotion

Used it during pregnancy, asking hubby to massage my round belly every night, it does what it says - prevents stretchmarks. No stretchmarks appeared. But you also have to eat healthy and be active, no uncontrolled overeating and being a couch potato - then no lotion can help.
