Theory of Molecular Size Distribution and Gel Formation in Branched‐Chain Polymers11(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1723803View Description Hide Description
The most probable distributions of molecular sizes are calculated for certain types of branched‐chain polymers. The results represent an extension of the previous work of Flory, who showed that very large polymeric molecules appear suddenly at a critical extent of reaction, which is predicted to occur very nearly at the experimentally observed gel point. This transition from liquid to gel is shown to be analagous to the condensation of a saturated vapor. It is believed that the size distributions obtained herein will aid in a study of viscosity‐molecular weight relationships in branched‐chain polymers.
A Direct Experimental Determination of the Electron Affinity of Chlorine11(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1723804View Description Hide Description
The electron affinity of chlorine has been determined to be 85.84±1.0 kcal./mole by measureing the ratio of ions to electrons leaving a hot tungsten surface in contact with a low pressure of gas containing chlorine atoms. Both Cl2 and SnCl4 were used as carrier gases.
The Relation between ζ‐Potential and the Electrical Capacity of the Double Layer11(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1723805View Description Hide Description
The usual calculation of the electrical capacity of the double layer from ζ‐potentials is in error because (1) the electrogravitational plane of the outer charge is not at a distance 1/k and (2) the inner charge is not in the ζ‐potential plane. An equation is derived which makes allowance for the distribution of charge on both sides of the ζ‐potential plane. Calculations from ζ‐potentials of glass in dilute aqueous solutions of simple salts give values which increase from about 1μf/cm2 at 10−5 molar to about 25μf/cm2 at high salt concentrations (1 molar). The equations are related qualitatively to electrocapillary phenomena.
Statistical Lengths of Rubber‐Like Hydrocarbon Molecules11(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1723806View Description Hide Description
The root mean square lengths of trans‐, cis‐, and random rubber‐like hydrocarbon molecules are calculated. These results are compared with the maximum possible lengths of the trans‐ and cis‐varieties and interpreted from the point of view of recent theories of rubberelasticity. It is found that the cis‐structure should be more elastic than the trans‐structure but the calculated difference is not large. The theory is probably sufficient to account for the properties of polychloroprene as compared to natural rubber, but stearic forces are necessary to explain the lack of elasticity in balata or gutta‐percha.
The Variation in the Structure of Water in Ionic Solutions. II11(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1723807View Description Hide Description
Earlier experiments with 15 strong electrolytes have been extended to 38 and there continues to be a striking correspondence between the rate of variation of the partial molal ionic volume with concentration and the rate of variation of water structure as crudely indicated by the x‐ray diffraction pattern. The concentration in mole fraction of the solutions varied from 0.001 to 0.096 having a mean of 0.028. The influences of concentration on adiabatic compressibility and of solubility on the variation of water structure are mentioned. Qualitative explanation of the effect of the ions in solution may be obtained by assuming a direct effect on the breaking of H bonds and the indirect effect of altering the pure temperature expansion of the water.
Stability and Structure of Burner Flames11(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1723808View Description Hide Description
It has been shown that the condition of equality of gas and burning velocities, required for stabilization of a flame above a burner, is established near the rim of the orifice or an obstruction within the stream by the effects of friction and inhibition of the explosive reaction. This condition is maintained between two critical gradients of the gas velocity at the solid surface, the lower gradient bordering on the flash‐back and the upper gradient on the blow‐off range. Values of the gradients in the range of laminar flow were determined by hydrodynamic equations from gas flow and tube dimensions; and their independence of tube diameter, except for extreme sizes, has been demonstrated both for upright and inverted flames. In the latter the critical velocity gradient for blow‐off was also found to be independent of the diameter of the centrally mounted wire within a considerable range. The effect of the surrounding atmosphere on the critical blow‐off gradient has been shown. The gas‐flow pattern was studied experimentally by photographing stroboscopically illuminated magnesium oxide dust particles. No appreciable redistribution of velocities over the cross section of the stream was observed below the combustion zone. The burning velocity was found constant over the surface of the inner cone, except at the tip, where it increases to the axial gas velocity, and at the base, where it decreases to zero. The experimental flame cone outline and flow pattern agree with the theoretical within the limitations imposed by simplifying assumptions. The temperature distribution in the flame was determined by the sodium line‐reversal method, only the center of the flame being colored, and observations of the width and emission spectrum of the luminous combustion zone were made. In natural gas‐air flames C–C and C–H bands are observed in the zone, and the temperature rises gradually behind the zone to a maximum that corresponds to the theoretical flame temperature. In natural gas‐oxygen flames no C–C or C–H bands are observed; and the temperature attains a maximum, exceeding the theoretical, immediately behind the combustion zone. Temperature distribution and flow pattern have been correlated. The flow pattern of inverted flames was also studied with particular attention to the region of flame attachment just above the central wire where the formation of an annular vortex is demonstrated. An interpretation of the formation of polyhedral flame cones, described by Smith and Pickering, has been given.
The Ratio Rule11(1943); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1723809View Description Hide Description
An empirical rule for calculating the frequencies of isotopic groups in molecules is proposed and experimental evidence for it reported.

Infra S.A. , established in the 1950's, produces aluminium brazed heat exchangers for the global vehicle OEM and aftermarket : radiators, oil coolers, condensers and heaters for all types of two and four wheeled vehicles.
The Company is committed to the following important goals:
1. "Zero defects" production
2. competitive costs maximizing total value
3. timing delivery and highest attention to customer expectations
We are part of an international organization called HACTEC Global Services, with 50 years experience in the heat exchange industry , headquartereded in Miami (Florida-USA) . HACTEC Global Services is a family of regional Companies engaged in the manufacture and distribution of vehicle heat exchange devices to the Original Equipment and the Aftermarket (see Frig Air spa - Italy and TechRad (Zhejiang) Automotive Thermal Systems Corp. - China)
Some history:
• In 1947, the three founding brothers left Italy for the fertile fields of Venezuela. There they planted the seeds to the future and began a radiator repair business.
• The business grew rapidly. In 1954, the brothers expanded from repair to manufacturing copper and brass radiators.
The growth and added services brought a change in name to Industrial Nacional Fábrica de Radiadores S.A. abbreviated to Infra S.A., but you can call us INFRA.
• In 1960 INFRA institutes Original Equipment Manufacturer distribution in Venezuela. The next year both GM and Chrysler were INFRA customers.
• INFRA opens the first aluminum radiator R&D facility in 1980 to fulfill the goal of continued market leadership.
The next year INFRA began production of mechanically expanded aluminum radiators. By 1982 the product line was expanded to include the vacuum brazing process.
• 1983 The INFRA vacuum-brazed aluminum radiator was included in a Ford product.
• In 1992 the company expanded operations into Italy under the trade name FrigAir.
* INFRA R&D developed methods for aluminum Controlled Atmosphere Brazing, (CAB) in 1992 using the Nocolok process. In 1993 both Ford and GM of Venezuela included the INFRA CAB radiators in their products.
• In 1996 INFRA supplied radiators to a plant in Brazil where they were installed as original equipment in GM vehicles.
• In 1998 warehousing and distribution operations are set up in France under the name FrigAir France.
• Added to expertise and ability to meet customers' need by expanding into the manufacture of air-to-oil heat exchangers in 2001.
• The USA sales office opens in 2001 to meet the need for quality OEM and aftermarket equipment.
• Looking to the future, resources will be directed to bring customers:
- Air-to-oil heat exchanger technology and products.
- Condensers for automotive and HVAC applications

Are there any home remedies for adult ADHD?
Further research is needed to determine the potential effectiveness of natural remedies for treating adult ADHD. Examples of such remedies include dietary restrictions and vitamin supplements. The limited research available on the effectiveness of these remedies does not usually include studies on adults.
Lifestyle changes that have been found to be useful in reducing some symptoms of ADHD in children and may be considered for adults include regular exercise and improving sleep every night.
What are complications of adult ADHD?
Adults living with ADHD are more likely to have low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and are not as adaptive with their social abilities compared to adults without the illness. The presence of other mental-health disorders (co-morbidity) is more likely in adults who are hyperactive and/or impulsive as opposed to being distractible as part of ADHD. Adults with this condition are also more at risk for being in more car accidents, using tobacco products or other drugs, having problems managing their anger, and are more likely to develop antisocial behaviors, particularly if not treated.
Relationships/family life
ADHD adults tend to have more marital problems, as well as troubles getting along with peers and authority figures. They may, therefore, become isolated socially.
Education and career
Adults with ADHD are at risk for completing fewer years of education compared to their non-ADHD counterparts. They are often more interested in careers that provide immediate gratification and other forms of excitement, like sales. They are often at risk for procrastinating on tasks, frequently changing jobs, and losing more jobs.

THOMSON, Ga.---A Hephzibah woman is in jail, accused of killing another woman whose remains were found outside Thomson in November 2006.
Antonia "Toni" Lowe, 33, was charged in the death of Lula Bell Scott, 48.
Ms. Scott lived on Rent Way Drive in Hephzibah.
She was reported missing by her daughter in September 2006. About two months later, three hunters found the decomposing remains just outside Thomson, off Story-Randall Rd.
She was identified later that year. GBI agents and McDuffie County authorities have been working on the case since that time.

And that Lost Odessey trailer looks effin killer. I didnt even know Sakaguchi was part of the project.When did he leave Square/Enix and why? Is that why FFXII came out so different? Nobuo Uematsu wasn't even doing the score, that made me sad :(
Woo-hoo!Posted: Mar 07, 2007 12:00AM PST by littlebadwolf
I can't believe both of these games are coming out within about three months of each other! It's too bad they couldn't release <i>Blue Dragon</i> a little earlier, though.
Action RPGPosted: Mar 07, 2007 12:00AM PST by FalcomAdol
Actually Cry On (Cryon?) is Mistwalker's first Action RPG. The demo version of Lost Odyssey did include a placeholder battle system though. That isn't the gameplay for the final game.
I love the Japanese support...Posted: Mar 06, 2007 12:00AM PST by BlazingAero
What a difference from what we saw with the 1st Xbox. Yeah, I gotta say 8 months to localize this game is a little ridiculous, but as the dude down there listed, there'll be plenty to play until then. I'm just waiting for them to "officially" announce MGS4 for 360. I guess I'd be wasting time waiting for FFXIII...
I've played both...Posted: Mar 06, 2007 12:00AM PST by dirtmonkey37
Blue Dragon was amazing at TGS, and the full game seems to be no different. Save for the difficulty issues the individuals who purchased the game have experienced, the title enjoys widespread acclaim. The game was fun when I played the demo, so you guys are in for a real treat. The art, the graphical fidelity, the gameplay variety, the combat, the concept -- everything about Blue Dragon screams "brilliant!" Lost Odyssey, on the other hand, seems to be nothing more than a technical demonstration. To be just, Sakaguchi and co. had not truly implemented the combat system and many of the game's other features, but the horrible showing of the demo overpowers that fact. Lost Odyssey was certainly beautiful, even moreso than Gears of War in some respects, but the gameplay mechanics featured in the demo were so dull and typical, it almost completely killed my personal hype for the title. But similar to Too Human, I have high hopes for Lost Odyssey, and I feel when it is finally yanked out of the oven, it's going to give FFXIII a run for its money.

RE: mikeslemonadePosted: Mar 06, 2007 12:00AM PST by -Ike
I think it's pretty much universally accepted that White Knight Story won't make it for 2007. The game was only 10% complete back at TGS 06. There's also the long process that SCEA will take when they localize the game. White Kinght Story will be an '08 title but the RPG genre looks like like it will have some great releases in '08 for PS3: White Knight Story, Final Fantasy XIII, and Final Fantasy Versus XIII.
Sony must feel fearPosted: Mar 06, 2007 12:00AM PST by Wii_Play_Xbox
Because the great games are coming for the Xbox360, DS and Wii. But nothing great for Sony on the horizon...
White Knight StoryPosted: Mar 06, 2007 12:00AM PST by mikeslemonade
White Knight Story will own all RPGs that come out this year. I laugh at people who think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon will be better than White Knight. The only reason why White Knight won't own is if it's delayed until 2008.
360/DS own the RPG genre this yearPosted: Mar 06, 2007 12:00AM PST by -Ike
So many great games coming out this year in the genre for both platforms: Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Mass Effect, Eternal Sonata, ASH, Dragon Quest IX, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Luminous Arc, Dragon Quest Monsters Jokers, and It's a Wonderful World. I'm so glad I own both systems. :)

no footage of ash? this game is still a mystery.
finallyPosted: Mar 06, 2007 12:00AM PST by ghanja_spawnX
bout time they told us around when its comin out. a little later than id prefer. but they can delay it more if itll make it better in the long run.ah well
Uhhhg.Posted: Mar 06, 2007 12:00AM PST by wedingo2
Why August? They should have shot for June, or even May. Microsoft had to have figured in the anticapation would be hugh and really May through July doesn't seem to have many heavy hitting titles for the 360. I guess it depends, though, how long Blue Dragon ends up being (what with side quests and all). You'd want players to dedicate enough time for this before they begin their next epic quest with the Master Chief.
DLC and LocalizationPosted: Mar 06, 2007 12:00AM PST by FalcomAdol
The DLC is already out in Japan, it's all localization. Eight months seems like a long time, but it's not all that bad, especially compared to what we used to have for lag times.

Blue Dragon is going to be the first RPG I'll buy for the 360, but that's not saying much considering the options... Enchanted Arms and Phantasy Star Universe *ughh* Needless to say, I'm excited about this game, and Lost Odyssey to a lesser extent
Can't wait for Blue Dragon.Posted: Mar 06, 2007 12:00AM PST by marsx69
Just wondering why it is taking soo long to localize for the US. I would think it wouldn't be that difficult. Perhaps they are working on the whole DLC issue and how to work it into the game. Either way I am going to get it.
i guess-Posted: Mar 06, 2007 12:00AM PST by bustedknuckles
that is their way of announcing that Blue Dragon has been delayed. that really sucks-

Blue Dragon and Bioshock both move to August - good month, but what's left for people to play in May/June/July? Will Mass Effect make that window?

Looks like I'm getting a Xbox 360 in August. Akira Toriyama seems to be able to sell me about anything. Lost Odyssey however has yet to prove itself to be of interest to me. Something about it seems really plain right now, and I haven't heard about anything that would make me change that opinion.

I'm planning on picking up Bioshock in August, I was going to be playing Blue Dragon this June...when it was supposed to come out. God, hopefully Mass Effect comes soon and doesn't get stuck in with all these other games I want to play...because my time will be spent playing that.
Great news for 360 owners...Posted: Mar 06, 2007 12:00AM PST by jellishot
As an rpg fan, this is great news. Two major Japanese rpg's for 360 in one year. The lack of this type of game was one of my complaints about the original XBOX. While these titles don't have the name recognition or popularity of, say, a Final Fantasy or a Dragon Quest, I do think this is a step in the right direction. Blue Dragon looks especially nice. Hopefully Lost Odyssey can surprise everybody and be just as good. If Microsoft can get more of these types of games, I'll be more than happy to buy a 360.

East Lyme — For the second time in three months, a female prisoner has walked away from the York Correctional Institution.
Lori Beyus, 49, of Torrington, an inmate with a lengthy criminal record, escaped from the York Correctional Institution early Sunday but was captured 12 hours later about a mile from the facility.
The Department of Correction said that at about 6:15 a.m. the prison was placed in lockdown and an emergency count of prisoners was ordered when correctional officers reported that Beyus was missing during breakfast in the dining hall.
The Correction Department said the escape was considered a "walk away" because Beyus was housed on the minimum-security side of the facility, which is not totally secured by a fence.
State police said that she was captured shortly after they received a 911 call at 5:40 p.m. from a person reporting a possible sighting of Beyus along Interstate 95 near the North Bridebook Road overpass.
A search by local and state police and correction staff led to her apprehension at 6:15. Beyus was charged with first-degree escape, processed by state police and then turned over to the Correction Department. She is scheduled to appear in New London Superior Court on April 22.
Beyus is serving a 51-month sentence for a Milford robbery in 2012. Over the past seven years she has convictions for possession of narcotics, second-degree stalking, first-degree failure to appear in court, fifth-degree larceny, conspiracy to commit fifth-degree larceny, reckless driving, third-degree larceny, conspiracy to commit third-degree larceny, and disorderly conduct, according to state judicial records. She also has been convicted of violation of probation eight times, sixth-degree larceny twice and interfering with a police officer twice.
On Jan. 5, two prisoners were walking back from the gymnasium to their housing unit in an unfenced part of the prison when they fled to a location on nearby Roxbury Road, where they were picked up by someone in a vehicle. The two women were apprehended in Hartford about 24 hours later. Their escape prompted prison officials to review housing assignments for inmates in the unfenced section of the prison.
East Lyme First Selectman Paul Formica said both his public safety director and the prison warden called him just before 7 a.m. to inform him of a possible escape. About an hour and a half to two hours later — when the escape was confirmed, Formica said — an alert was sent out via the town's Everbridge system to notify residents. A notice was also posted on the town's website, he said. Formica said he also called neighboring town officials to inform them.

"It makes things feel like you're back in the routine again. It's normal and, let's play football, let's focus on our job. It definitely does that."
"We didn't make routine plays. We played good offensively, (but) we didn't play good defense behind our pitchers."
"It is so comfortable when you play at home. You have your own locker room and your own routine. It's tough to play on the road. You win on the road with good pitching, a good starting pitching performance. That is what we did not get last weekend in two out of three games. That's the difference. It allows our young kids to relax a little bit and just play."
"The bottom line is I blew it. It was a routine double play. I can't look anybody in the eye right now. It was an embarrassment."

I am very pleased with the Kuat NV 2.0 rack. This is the newest model from Kuat which replaced the NV 2. We have a couple of high end road bikes as well as some mountain bikes and all the bikes fit fantastic. One of the mountain bikes is a "plus" sized running 3.0" wide tires and fits with no adjustments. The spacing between the bikes is great, with no rubbing whatsoever. While this rack is expensive, it is well worth the investment considering the value of the bikes it hauls.

Glad i picked this rack! They don't sell it as or make any claims about this being any more secure than other racks, but after using it I can't see any way for anyone to steal the bike or a wheel! The loops appear to prevent that. IMHO. As far as going in a restaurant and leaving your bikes out of sight i personally don't worry. Between the lockable loops and the cable that locks into the cam and the lock on the hitch pin. IMHO. Heavy, an aluminum version would be perfection!!!!

- Girls in jeans to be denied entry in MP temple
UJJAIN: The management of a Jain temple here has asked visitors to ensure that girls aged above eight years are not dressed in skimpy clothing or in jeans, capri pants, gowns, and the like when they come to the temple. Only girls and women "dressed decorously in line with Indian cultural norms with their head covered" would be granted entry into Shri Rushabh Dev temple in Chhagniram Pedhi in Kharakuan area in Ujjain district, the temple trust said. A notice posted outside the temple "requests" the visitors to ensure that girls and women aged above eight years are dressed in a restrained manner. The trust's president Mahendra Sirolia on Sunday confirmed to reporters that the dress code for girls and women has been put into effect.
- No jeans for Haryana school teachers now
CHANDIGARH: After introducing Gita in the school syllabus, the BJP government in Haryana has barred school teachers from wearing jeans. The government says the teachers should become "role models" for the students and desist from wearing jeans in schools as it is considered improper attire, especially in the rural areas. "Usually, it is noticed that the teachers of government primary and middle schools come to the schools wearing jeans. They are similarly clad when they visit the directorate for any work, which is not appropriate," mentioned an order issued on the behalf of director of state primary education RS Kharb on Thursday. Justifying this, state additional chief secretary (school education) PK Das said some states, including Odisha, have a dress code for teachers. There, the uniform for male teachers is black pants and sky blue shirts and pink saris and black blouses for women. However, teachers' bodies are not happy with the decision. With 50% of the over 50,000 teachers in government schools aged below 40, they are used to wearing jeans. Leaders of one of the bodies Haryana Vidyalaya Adhyapak Sangh has decided to meet state education minister Ram Bilas Sharma on the issue.

Professor of Chemistry Brian Stoltz has been awarded a $120,000 grant from the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation's Postdoctoral Program in Environmental Chemistry. The grant, distributed over two years, provides funds for a principal investigator to appoint a postdoctoral fellow to work on "innovative fundamental research in the chemical sciences or engineering related to the environment."
Stoltz's lab focuses on using chemical synthesis to develop new reactions and strategies for manufacturing complex molecules. In collaboration with the laboratories of Paul Wennberg, the R. Stanton Avery Professor of Atmospheric Chemistry and Environmental Science and Engineering, and Mitchio Okumura, professor of chemical physics, Stoltz's group will use the Dreyfus Foundation grant to fund a postdoctoral scholar and an interdisciplinary project that merges the fields of synthetic, organic, and environmental reaction chemistry.
"We plan to employ organic synthesis as a tool to help address unresolved questions that have eluded traditional methods of experimental atmospheric chemistry, including the identification of oxidation mechanisms that lead to the formation of organic particulate matter and to the regeneration of atmospheric oxidant radicals," says Stoltz. "In the process, we hope to educate a postdoctoral scholar and expose them to a broad range of scientific disciplines and skills by applying techniques from synthetic and atmospheric chemistry in an interdisciplinary setting."
Fourteen other Caltech professors have received this grant since its inception in 1996.
Facing a challenge akin to solving a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle while blindfolded—and without touching the pieces—many structural biochemists thought it would be impossible to determine the atomic structure of a massive cellular machine called the nuclear pore complex (NPC), which is vital for cell survival.
But after 10 years of attacking the problem, a team led by André Hoelz, assistant professor of chemistry, recently solved almost a third of the puzzle. The approach his team developed to do so also promises to speed completion of the remainder.
In an article published online February 12 by Science Express, Hoelz and his colleagues describe the structure of a significant portion of the NPC, which is made up of many copies of about 34 different proteins, perhaps 1,000 proteins in all and a total of 10 million atoms. In eukaryotic cells (those with a membrane-bound nucleus), the NPC forms a transport channel in the nuclear membrane. The NPC serves as a gatekeeper, essentially deciding which proteins and other molecules are permitted to pass into and out of the nucleus. The survival of cells is dependent upon the accuracy of these decisions.
Understanding the structure of the NPC could lead to new classes of cancer drugs as well as antiviral medicines. "The NPC is a huge target of viruses," Hoelz says. Indeed, pathogens such as HIV and Ebola subvert the NPC as a way to take control of cells, rendering them incapable of functioning normally. Figuring out just how the NPC works might enable the design of new drugs to block such intruders.
"This is an incredibly important structure to study," he says, "but because it is so large and complex, people thought it was crazy to work on it. But 10 years ago, we hypothesized that we could solve the atomic structure with a divide-and-conquer approach—basically breaking the task into manageable parts—and we've shown that for a major section of the NPC, this actually worked."
To map the structure of the NPC, Hoelz relied primarily on X-ray crystallography, which involves shining X-rays on a crystallized sample and using detectors to analyze the pattern of rays reflected off the atoms in the crystal.
It is particularly challenging to obtain X-ray diffraction images of the intact NPC for several reasons, including that the NPC is both enormous (about 30 times larger than the ribosome, a large cellular component whose structure wasn't solved until the year 2000) and complex (with as many as 1,000 individual pieces, each composed of several smaller sections). In addition, the NPC is flexible, with many moving parts, making it difficult to capture in individual snapshots at the atomic level, as X-ray crystallography aims to do. Finally, despite being enormous compared to other cellular components, the NPC is still vanishingly small (only 120 nanometers wide, or about 1/900th the thickness of a dollar bill), and its highly flexible nature prohibits structure determination with current X-ray crystallography methods.
To overcome those obstacles, Hoelz and his team chose to determine the structure of the coat nucleoporin complex (CNC)—one of the two main complexes that make up the NPC—rather than tackling the whole structure at once (in total the NPC is composed of six subcomplexes, two major ones and four smaller ones, see illustration). He enlisted the support of study coauthor Anthony Kossiakoff of the University of Chicago, who helped to develop the engineered antibodies needed to essentially "superglue" the samples into place to form an ordered crystalline lattice so they could be properly imaged. The X-ray diffraction data used for structure determination was collected at the General Medical Sciences and National Cancer Institutes Structural Biology Beamline at the Argonne National Laboratory.
With the help of Caltech's Molecular Observatory—a facility, developed with support from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, that includes a completely automated X-ray beamline at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory that can be controlled remotely from Caltech—Hoelz's team refined the antibody adhesives required to generate the best crystalline samples. This process alone took two years to get exactly right.
Hoelz and his team were able to determine the precise size, shape, and the position of all atoms of the CNC, and also its location within the entire NPC.
The CNC is not the first component of the NPC to be fully characterized, but it is by far the largest. Hoelz says that once the other major component—known as the adaptor–channel nucleoporin complex—and the four smaller subcomplexes are mapped, the NPC's structure will be fully understood.
The CNC that Hoelz and his team evaluated comes from baker's yeast—a commonly used research organism—but the CNC structure is the right size and shape to dock with the NPC of a human cell. "It fits inside like a hand in a glove," Hoelz says. "That's significant because it is a very strong indication that the architecture of the NPC in both are probably the same and that the machinery is so important that evolution has not changed it in a billion years."
Being able to successfully determine the structure of the CNC makes mapping the remainder of the NPC an easier proposition. "It's like climbing Mount Everest. Knowing you can do it lowers the bar, so you know you can now climb K2 and all these other mountains," says Hoelz, who is convinced that the entire NPC will be characterized soon. "It will happen. I don't know if it will be in five or 10 or 20 years, but I'm sure it will happen in my lifetime. We will have an atomic model of the entire nuclear pore."
Still, he adds, "My dream actually goes much farther. I don't really want to have a static image of the pore. What I really would like—and this is where people look at me with a bit of a smile on their face, like they're laughing a little bit—is to get an image of how the pore is moving, how the machine actually works. The pore is not a static hole, it can open up like the iris of a camera to let something through that's much bigger. How does it do it?"
To understand that machine in motion, he adds, "you don't just need one snapshot, you need multiple snapshots. But once you have one, you can infer the other ones much quicker, so that's the ultimate goal. That's the dream."
Along with Hoelz, additional Caltech authors on the paper, "Architecture of the Nuclear Pore Complex Coat," include postdoctoral scholars Tobias Stuwe and Ana R. Correia, and graduate student Daniel H. Lin. Coauthors from the University of Chicago Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology include Anthony Kossiakoff, Marcin Paduch and Vincent Lu.

Using an icebox-like instrument nicknamed Himalaya, the researchers show that fluffy ice on the surface of a comet would crystalize and harden as the comet heads toward the sun and warms up. As the water-ice crystals form, becoming denser and more ordered, other molecules containing carbon would be expelled to the comet's surface. The result is a crunchy comet crust sprinkled with organic dust.
"A comet is like deep fried ice cream," said Murthy Gudipati, a principal scientist at JPL and corresponding author of a recent study appearing in The Journal of Physical Chemistry. "The crust is made of crystalline ice, while the interior is colder and more porous. The organics are like a final layer of chocolate on top."
The lead author of the study is Antti Lignell, a postdoctoral scholar in Caltech's Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, who formerly worked with Gudipati at JPL. Caltech manages JPL for NASA.

Six members of the Caltech community—Caltech professors Harry Atwater, Mory Gharib (PhD '83), Robert Grubbs, and Guruswami (Ravi) Ravichandran, and JPL staff members Dan M. Goebel and Graeme L. Stephens—have been elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), an honor considered among the highest professional distinctions accorded to an engineer. The academy welcomed 67 new American members and 12 foreign members this year. Included among the new class are four Caltech alumni, Dana Powers (BS '70, PhD '75), Michael Tsapatsis (MS '91, PhD '94), Vigor Yang (PhD '84), and Ajit Yoganathan (PhD '78).
Harry Atwater, the Howard Hughes Professor of Applied Physics and Materials Science and director of the Resnick Sustainability Institute, was cited for his contributions to plasmonics—the study of plasmons, coordinated waves of electrons on the surfaces of metals. Atwater is developing plasmonic devices for controlling light on a nanometer scale. Such devices could be important for the eventual creation of quantum computers and more efficient photovoltaic cells in solar panels.
Mory Gharib is the vice provost for research and the Hans W. Liepmann Professor of Aeronautics and Bioinspired Engineering. His election citation notes his contributions to fluid flow visualization techniques and the engineering of bioinspired medical devices. Gharib's biomechanical studies are often coupled with medical engineering; for example, by studying the fluid dynamics of the human cardiovascular system, he and his group are better able to develop new types of prosthetic heart valves.
Dan M. Goebel, a senior research scientist at JPL, was honored for his contributions to low-temperature plasma sources for thin-film manufacturing, plasma materials interactions, and electric propulsion.
Robert Grubbs, the Victor and Elizabeth Atkins Professor of Chemistry and corecipient of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, was elected for the development of catalysts that have enabled commercial products. For example, Grubbs and his team developed a new method for synthesizing organosilanes—basic chemical building blocks. Normally these molecules are made with expensive and rare precious metals, but Grubbs's group has found a way to catalyze the reaction using a cheap and abundant potassium compound.
Guruswami (Ravi) Ravichandran is the John E. Goode, Jr., Professor of Aerospace, professor of mechanical engineering, and director of the Graduate Aerospace Laboratories (GALCIT). He is cited by the NAE for his contributions to the mechanics of dynamic deformation, damage, and failure of engineering materials. Ravichandran has studied the behavior of polymers under high pressures and strains, and how the peeling of an adhesive material—like Scotch Tape—may be modeled as a crack propagating in a medium.
Graeme L. Stephens, the director of JPL's Center for Climate Sciences, was elected by the Academy for the elucidation of Earth's cloud system and radiation balance.
A team of Caltech chemists has discovered a method for producing a group of silicon-containing organic chemicals without relying on expensive precious metal catalysts. Instead, the new technique uses as a catalyst a cheap, abundant chemical that is commonly found in chemistry labs around the world—potassium tert-butoxide—to help create a host of products ranging from new medicines to advanced materials. And it turns out that the potassium salt is more effective than state-of-the-art precious metal complexes at running very challenging chemical reactions.
"We have shown for the first time that you can efficiently make carbon–silicon bonds with a safe and inexpensive catalyst based on potassium rather than ultrarare precious metals like platinum, palladium, and iridium," says Anton Toutov, a graduate student working in the laboratory of Bob Grubbs, Caltech's Victor and Elizabeth Atkins Professor of Chemistry. "We're very excited because this new method is not only 'greener' and more efficient, but it is also thousands of times less expensive than what's currently out there for making useful chemical building blocks. This is a technology that the chemical industry could readily adopt."
The finding marks one of the first cases in which catalysis—the use of catalysts to make certain reactions occur faster, more readily, or at all—moves away from being a practice that is fundamentally unsustainable. While the precious metals in most catalysts are rare and could eventually run out, potassium is an abundant element on Earth.
The team describes its new "green" chemistry technique in the February 5 issue of the journal Nature. The lead authors on the paper are Toutov and Wen-bo (Boger) Liu, a postdoctoral scholar at Caltech. Toutov recently won the Dow Sustainability Innovation Student Challenge Award (SISCA) grand prize for this work, in a competition held at Caltech's Resnick Sustainability Institute.
"The first time I spoke about this at a conference, people were stunned," says Grubbs, corecipient of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. "I added three slides about this chemistry to the end of my talk, and afterward it was all anyone wanted to talk about."
Coauthor Brian Stoltz, professor of chemistry at Caltech, says the reason for this strong response is that while the chemistry the catalyst drives is challenging, potassium tert-butoxide is so seemingly simple. The white, free-flowing powder—similar to common table salt in appearance—provides a straightforward and environmentally friendly way to run a reaction that involves replacing a carbon–hydrogen bond with a carbon–silicon bond to produce molecules known as organosilanes.
These organic molecules are of particular interest because they serve as powerful chemical building blocks for medicinal chemists to use in the creation of new pharmaceuticals. They also hold promise in the development of new materials for use in products such as LCD screens and organic solar cells, could be important in the development of new pesticides, and are being incorporated into novel medical imaging tools.
"To be able to do this type of reaction, which is one of the most-studied problems in the world of chemistry, with potassium tert-butoxide—a material that's not precious-metal based but still catalytically active—was a total shocker," Stoltz says.
The current project got its start a couple of years ago when coauthor Alexey Fedorov—then a postdoctoral scholar in the Grubbs lab (now at ETH Zürich)—was working on a completely different problem. He was trying to break carbon–oxygen bonds in biomass using simple silicon-containing compounds, metals, and potassium tert-butoxide, which is a common additive. During that process, he ran a control experiment—one without a metal catalyst—leaving only potassium tert-butoxide as the reagent. Remarkably, the reaction still worked. And when Toutov—who was working with Fedorov—analyzed the reaction further, he realized that in addition to the expected products, the reaction was making small amounts of organosilanes. This was unexpected since organosilanes are very challenging to produce.
"I thought that was impossible, so I went back and checked it many times," Toutov says. "Sure enough, it checked out!"
Bolstered by the finding, Toutov refined the reaction so that it would create only a single desired organosilane in high yield under mild conditions, with hydrogen gas as the only byproduct. Then he expanded the scope of the reaction to produce industrially useful chemicals such as molecules needed for new materials and derivatives of pharmaceutical substances.
Having demonstrated the broad applicability of the reaction, Toutov teamed up with Liu from Stoltz's group to further develop the chemistry for the synthesis of building blocks relevant to the preparation of new human medicines, a field in which Stoltz has been active for over a decade.
But before delving too deeply into additional applications, the chemists sought the assistance of Nathan Dalleska, director of the Environmental Analysis Center in the Ronald and Maxine Linde Center for Global Environmental Science at Caltech to perform one more test with a mass spectrometer that geologists use to detect extremely minute quantities of metals. They were trying to detect some tiny amount of those precious metals that could be contaminating their experiments—something that might explain why they were getting these seemingly impossible results from potassium tert-butoxide alone.
"But there was nothing there," says Stoltz. "We made our own potassium tert-butoxide and also bought it from various vendors, and yet the chemistry continued to work just the same. We had to really convince ourselves that it was true, that there were no precious metals in there. Eventually, we had to just decide to believe it."
So far, the chemists do not know why the simple catalyst is able to drive these complex reactions. But Stoltz's lab is part of the Center for Selective C–H Functionalization, a National Science Foundation–funded Center for Chemical Innovation that involves 23 research groups from around the country. Through that center, the Caltech team has started working with Ken Houk's computational chemistry group at UCLA to investigate how the chemistry works from a mechanistic standpoint.
"It's pretty clear that it's functioning by a mechanism that is totally different than the way a precious metal would behave," says Stoltz. "That's going to inspire some people, including ourselves hopefully, to think about how to use and harness that reactivity."
Toutov says that unlike some other catalysts that stop working or become sensitive to air or water when scaled up from the single-gram scale, this new catalyst seems to be robust enough to be used at large, industrial scales. To demonstrate the industrial viability of the process, the Caltech team used the method to synthesize nearly 150 grams of a valuable organosilane—the largest amount of this chemical product that has been produced by a single catalytic reaction. The reaction required no solvent, generated hydrogen gas as the only byproduct, and proceeded at 45°C—the lowest reported temperature at which this reaction has successfully run, to date.
"This discovery just shows how little we in fact know about chemistry," says Stoltz. "People constantly try to tell us how mature our field is, but there is so much fundamental chemistry that we still don't understand."
Kerry Betz, an undergraduate student at Caltech, is a coauthor on the paper, "Silylation of C–H bonds in aromatic heterocycles by an Earth-abundant metal catalyst." The work was supported by the National Science Foundation. The Resnick Sustainability Institute at Caltech, Dow Chemical, the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada, and the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry provided graduate and postdoctoral support. Fedorov's work on the original reaction was supported by BP.
Caltech Professor of Astronomy George Djorgovski and chemist Bruce Brunschwig are among the 401 newly elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) for 2014.
The AAAS was formed in 1848 with the mission of "advancing science, engineering, and innovation throughout the world for the benefit of all people." The annual tradition of electing fellows began in 1874 to recognize scientists for their contributions toward this mission.
"The AAAS performs an essential role of promoting and protecting science and its benefits for society. This has never been more important than it is now," says Djorgovski, director of the Center for Data-Driven Discovery at Caltech. He was elected by his scientific peers to the AAAS's Section on Astronomy for his "leadership of the Virtual Observatory and the emerging field of astroinformatics, and considerable body of work on surveys and transient discovery." Astronomical data is exponentially growing in complexity and volume; the Virtual Observatory is an open, web-based research environment intended to organize, maintain, and explore the rich information content within these datasets.
"Science is being transformed by computing and information technology, and astronomy has been at the forefront of these developments," says Djorgovski.
Brunschwig, director of the Molecular Materials Research Center (MMRC) at Caltech, was elected to the AAAS's Section on Chemistry for his "pioneering contributions to the theoretical and physical understanding of electron transfer and its application to artificial photosynthesis." The MMRC is home to state-of-the-art instrumentation that facilitates cutting-edge interdisciplinary research in the fields of chemistry, surface science, and materials science. The center currently hosts myriad projects, including work on artificial photosynthesis and solar energy conversion.
"Bruce Brunschwig is a model for us to aspire to with his dedication to scholarship and his natural curiosity and inquisitiveness," says Brunschwig's colleague Nate Lewis, the George L. Argyros Professor of Chemistry at Caltech and the scientific director of the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis. "His election as a fellow to the AAAS is well deserved."
Caltech is currently home to 42 fellows of the AAAS.

Things That Did Not Work In Favour Of Ram Charan Teja's Zanjeer!
Nothing did save the fate of director Apoorva Lakhia's movie Zanjeer remake, that fell flat miserably at the cash counter collections. Not to blame the audience, the film itself was so lame and disappointing that a few film critics even did not think twice before rating the movie nil, A BIG ZERO.
Not to deny, the expectations were equally high from the Zanjeer remake. After all, it is the remake of the 1973 Zanjeer, that featured the legendary Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan in leads. Hence, when the announcement was made that the South star Ram Charan Teja dared to step into the Big B's shoes, that too for a Bollywood debut, it had set many tongues wagging in the B-Town. The reason for this was obvious, since people started wondering if Cherry could do justice to Mr Bachchan's iconic role.
After the film hit the screens this Friday, most of the film critics said that the Zanjeer remake was an utter blunder. Some even said that this one is "an unforgivably bad remake". The Zanjeer remake falters big time due to several reasons. As per most of the critics, the film fails in almost all the aspects. Go through the slider to learn the top 7 things that did not work in favour of Zanjeer remake:

Project title: Electrocrystallization of Organic Charge-Transfer Salts
Project description (50-100 words suggested): Many polycyclic aromatics can form crystalline charge-transfer salts with semiconducting, metallic or even superconducting properties. These materials are being actively investigated for their application in "organic electronics", which make it possible to fabricate variety of electronic devices – light-emitting diodes (OLED), solar cells, transistors (OFET), switches, memories and sensors from purely organic matter. In these applications organic semiconductors have many advantages, such as ease of fabrication, mechanical flexibility, and low cost. In addition to the applications, organic conductors have a number of fascinating properties from the more fundamental scientific perspective; e.g. they typically exhibit a very rich phase diagram with metal-to-insulator structural phase transitions and stable charge-density wave phases.
The goal of this project is to grow crystals (primarily by electrochemical methods) of a variety of charge transfer salts and prepare them for characterization in a conventional transmission electron microscope and for time-resolved studies on the ultrafast electron diffraction instrument in the Siwick lab.
Prerequisite: 1 term completed at McGill + CGPA of 3.0 or higher; or permission of instructor.

check wek for Windowws 8, you will see article about Win 8 hybrids are selling mad.
Just as they are designed for, WIn 8 hybrids are selling so well, and you can hardely find many now in any stores before Christmas. Some retaisler are now promising to ship them to you early in the new year. Poor OEMs expected to sell some millions of these hybrids, but they did not expect these Win 8 hybrids are selling so well. Looks like many costomers like the idea of a free tablet to go with each laptop idea!!!
way to go, MSFT, looks like WIN 8 ttablets are gaining very good traction!!!!
Sentiment: Strong Buy
"Poor OEMs expected to sell some millions of these hybrids, but they did not expect these Win 8 hybrids are selling so well."
From PC World: "While demand for hybrid devices is tepid, as with Windows 8 PCs in general, the dearth of hardware is putting a damper on the potential success of the unique PC form factor."
Hey, dim bulb, do you understand what "tepid" means? Regardless of the lack of hardware, "tepid demand" does NOT equate to "selling mad", NOR "very good traction" AND the shortage of units in stores is DUE TO the "dearth" of hardware" NOT by any means to "selling so well".
It might behoove you to learn to speak our main language, English, here in the U.S. before you endeavor to SPIN up some inane garbage about non existent "demand" as you have with your post.
Whadda' bone head...
