1,1-Diphenylindan was treated with one molecule of bromine. It yielded a monobromide, which was condensed with methyl and ethyl alcohols, piperidine, p-toluidine, and aniline. With aqueous solutions of potassium carbonate, the monobromide directly gave rise to 1,1-diphenylindene and small quantities of diphenylindanyl ether.The condensation of the monobromide with sodium ethyl malonate yielded ethyl 1,1-diphenyl-3-indanmalonate from which 1,1-diphenyl-3-indanmalonic and 1-1-diphenyl-3-indanacetic acids were prepared. A few derivatives of these acids were also obtained.To establish the constitution of 1,1-diphenyl-3-indanacetic acid and, hence, that of the monobromide and of the other compounds, this acid was prepared directly from 3,3-diphenyl-1-indanone by a Reformatsky reaction with ethyl bromoacetate.The method of preparation of 1,1-diphenylindan has been improved, 1,1-diphenylindene has been obtained by new methods, and the following compounds are described, as far as the authors are aware, for the first time: 3-bromo-1,1-diphenylindan, 3-methoxy-1,1-diphenylindan, 3-ethoxy-1,1-diphenylindan, 3-N-piperidyl-1,1-diphenylindan, N-phenyl-1,1-diphenyl-3-indanamine, N-p-tolyl-1,1-diphenyl-3-indanamine, ethyl 1,1-diphenyl-3-indanmalonate, 1,1-diphenyl-3-indanmalonic acid, 1,1-diphenyl-3-indanmalonic acid p-nitrobenzyl ester, silver salt of 1,1-diphenyl-3-indanmalonic acid, 1,1-diphenyl-3-indanacetic acid, 1,1-diphenyl-3-indanacetic acid p-nitrobenzyl ester, silver salt of 1,1-diphenyl-3-indanacetic acid, 1,1-diphenyl-3-indanacetanilide, 1,1-diphenyl-3-indanacetamide, 1,1-diphenyl-3-indanacetonitrile, 1,1-diphenyl-3-indanethylamine hydrochloride, ethyl 3-hydroxy-1,1-diphenyl-3-indanacetate, ethyl 1,1-diphenyl-3-indeneacetate, 1,1-diphenyl-3-indeneacetic acid, silver salt of 1,1-diphenyl-3-indeneacetic acid, 1,1-diphenyl-3-indeneacetic acid p-nitrobenzyl ester, ethyl 1,1-diphenyl-3-indanacetate.

Sulfite Solution

Elemental selenium dissolves in sulfite solution to form selenosulfate ion: Se + SO32− = SeSO32−.The formation constants for this equilibrium at temperatures from 0 to 35 °C are reported for the first time. The isomeric thioselenate anion, SSeO32−, is not, however, produced by the reaction of sulfur with selenite nor is the selenoselenate ion, Se2O32−, formed from selenium and selenite. Selenotrithionate is formed rapidly from the reaction of selenous acid with sulfite and hydrogen sulfite according to: HSeO3− + 3 HSO3− = Se(SO3)22− + SO42− + 2H2O.Two isomers of the selenotrithionate ion are observed by Se-77 NMR and Raman spectroscopy, one with O-bonded Se, Se(OSO2)22−, and the other with S-bonded Se, Se(SO3)22−. Both isomers are formed in reactions with hydrogen sulfite but only the O-bonded isomer is formed in sulfite solutions at ambient temperatures. The Raman and Se-77 NMR spectra of the various sulphur–selenium anions formed are given and the parallel with the reactions of selenous acid and thiols is discussed. Keywords: selenium, sulfite, selenosulfate, selenotrithionate, Se-77 NMR, Raman spectroscopy, equilibria, aqueous solutions.

N-Alkylation of IIIa, IIIb, IIId - IIIf and 9-acridanone with 3-bromopropyne in dimethyl sulfoxide in the presence of potassium carbonate yielded N-(2-propynyl) derivatives IVa - IVe and VIa, respectively. Ethyl esters IVa, IVb, and IVe were hydrolyzed to IVf - IVh, respectively. Compounds IVf, IVg, IVctreated with bases yielded N-propadienyl derivatives Va - Vc. On the other hand 2-substituted compounds IVd and IVh did not change under the same conditions. Compound VIa treated with powdered potassium hydroxide in dimethyl sulfoxide at room temperature yielded N-(1-propynyl) derivative VII.

The synthesis of 5-methyl-2-thienylketopolymethylene oxyphenyl 4,5-dihydro-2-(alkyl)oxazoles was accomplished by the assembly of two synthones, namely 1-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)-7-hydroxy-1-heptanone (or 1-(5-methyl-2-thienyl)-5-chloro-1-pentanone) and 4-[4,5-dihydro(alkyl)oxazol-2-yl]phenol, in the presence of diethyl azodicarboxylate(DEAD)-triphenyl phosphine (or sodium iodide and anhydrous potassium carbonate). Eighteen new disoxaril analogues were synthesized by the above procedure and tested in vitro against several rhino and enteroviruses. With a few exceptions, all test derivatives were more potent than WIN 51711 when assayed against HRV-14, and as potent as WIN 51711 against HRV-2, but none of them inhibited the other HRV serotypes. Among the various derivatives, two compounds showed the same wide spectrum activity of WIN 51711 against several rhino, and enteroviruses, but were at least 10-fold less toxic.

AbstractModelling other agents is a challenging topic in artificial intelligence research particularly when a subject agent needs to optimise its own decisions by predicting their behaviours under uncertainty. Existing research often leads to a monotonic set of behaviours for other agents so that a subject agent can not cope with unexpected decisions from the other agents. It requires creative ideas about developing diversity of behaviours so as to improve the subject agent’s decision quality. In this paper, we resort to evolutionary computation approaches to generate a new set of behaviours for other agents and solve the complicated agents’ behaviour search and evaluation issues. The new approach starts with the initial behaviours that are ascribed to the other agents and expands the behaviours by using a number of genetic operators in the behaviour evolution. This is the first time that evolutionary techniques are used to modelling other agents in a general multiagent decision framework. We examine the new methods in two well-studied problem domains and provide experimental results in support.

Studies of the origin and diversification of major groups of plants and animals are contentious topics in current evolutionary biology. This includes the study of the timing and relationships of the two major clades of extant mammals – marsupials and placentals. Molecular studies concerned with marsupial and placental origin and diversification can be at odds with the fossil record. Such studies are, however, not a recent phenomenon. Over 150 years ago Charles Darwin weighed two alternative views on the origin of marsupials and placentals. Less than a year after the publication of On the origin of species, Darwin outlined these in a letter to Charles Lyell dated 23 September 1860. The letter concluded with two competing phylogenetic diagrams. One showed marsupials as ancestral to both living marsupials and placentals, whereas the other showed a non-marsupial, non-placental as being ancestral to both living marsupials and placentals. These two diagrams are published here for the first time. These are the only such competing phylogenetic diagrams that Darwin is known to have produced. In addition to examining the question of mammalian origins in this letter and in other manuscript notes discussed here, Darwin confronted the broader issue as to whether major groups of animals had a single origin (monophyly) or were the result of “continuous creation” as advocated for some groups by Richard Owen. Charles Lyell had held similar views to those of Owen, but it is clear from correspondence with Darwin that he was beginning to accept the idea of monophyly of major groups.

This chapter presents the equations and calculations for energy approximation. It establishes the estimates (261) and (262) of the Main Lemma (10.1) for continuous solutions; these estimates state that we are able to accurately prescribe the energy that the correction adds to the solution, as well as bound the difference between the time derivatives of these two quantities. The chapter also introduces the proposition for prescribing energy, followed by the relevant computations. Each integral contributing to the other term can be estimated. Another proposition for estimating control over the rate of energy variation is given. Finally, the coarse scale material derivative is considered.

The effect of ionized aqueous solutions (anolytes and catholyte) in the processing of fruits (cherries, morellos, and strawberries) for decontamination has been tested. Freshly prepared analytes and catholyte without the addition of salts were used, as well as stored for 7 months anolytes, prepared with 0.5% NaCl and a combination of 0.5% NaCl and 0.5% Na2CO3. The anolyte prepared with a combination of 0.5% NaCl and 0.5% Na2CO3, as well as the anolyte obtained with 0.5% NaCl, exhibit high antimicrobial activity against the surface microflora of strawberries, cherries, and sour cherries. They inactivate E. coli for 15 minutes. The other species of the fam. Enterobacteriaceae were also affected to the maximum extent, as is the total number of microorganisms, especially in cherries and sour cherries. Even stored for 7 months, they largely retain their antimicrobial properties. Anolyte and catholyte, obtained without the addition of salts, showed a lower effect on the total number of microorganisms, but had a significant effect on Gram-negative bacteria, and especially with regard to the sanitary indicative E. coli.

The paper was shaped around the pivotal question: Is SE a sound and scientific field of research? The question has given a critical tone to the paper and has also helped to bring out some of the controversial debates in the realm of SE. The paper was organized under five main discussions to be able to provide a scientific answer to the research question: (1)<b> </b>is “social entrepreneurship” an oxymoron?, (2) the characteristics of SE knowledge, (3) sources of social entrepreneurship knowledge, (4) SE knowledge: structure and limitations and (5) contributing epistemology-making concepts for SE.<b> </b>Based on the sections,<b> </b>the study relied on the relevant philosophical schools of thought in <i>Epistemology </i>(e.g. <i>Empiricism</i>, <i>Rationalism</i>, <i>Skepticism</i>, <i>Internalism</i> vs. <i>Externalism</i>,<i> Essentialism, Social Constructivism</i>, <i>Social Epistemology, etc.</i>) to discuss these controversies around SE and proposes some solutions by reviewing SE literature. Also, to determine the governing linguistic discourse in the realm of SE, which was necessary for our discussion,<i> Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA)</i> for the first time in SE studies was used. Further, through the study, SE buzzwords which constitute SE terminology were derived and introduced to help us narrowing down and converging the thoughts in this field and demarking the epistemological boundaries of SE. The originality of the paper on one hand lies in its pioneering discussions on SE epistemology and on the other hand in paving the way for a construction of sound epistemology for SE; therefore in many cases after preparing the philosophical ground for the discussions, it went beyond the prevalent SE literature through meta-analysis to discuss the cases which were raised. The results of the study verified previously claimed embryonic pre-paradigmatic phase in SE which was far from a sound and scientific knowledge, although the scholarly endeavors are the harbingers of such a possibility in the future which calls for further mature academic discussion and development of SE knowledge by the SE academia.

Al-Qusayr is located 40 km south of modern al-Wajh, roughly 7 km from the eastern Red Sea shore. This site is known since the mid-19th century, when the explorer R. Burton described it for the first time, in particular the remains of a monumental building so-called al-Qasr. In March 2016, a new survey of the site was undertaken by the al-‘Ula–al-Wajh Survey Project. This survey focused not only on al-Qasr but also on the surrounding site corresponding to the ancient settlement. A surface collection of pottery sherds revealed a striking combination of Mediterranean and Egyptian imports on one hand, and of Nabataean productions on the other hand. This material is particularly homogeneous on the chronological point of view, suggesting a rather limited occupation period for the site. Attesting contacts between Mediterranean merchants, Roman Egypt and the Nabataean kingdom, these new data allow a complete reassessment of the importance of this locality in the Red Sea trade routes during antiquity.
