We report the kinetics of CO binding to a series of substituted ferrous tetra(4-X-phenyl)porphyrins ( X = CF 3, Cl , H , CH 3, OCH 3) in DMSO solvent using a mixture of 1,2-DMI/1-MeIm as proximal base. The CO dissociation rate constant increases with electron donation of the substituent X; the aggregate Hammett ρ value is -0.38. Using a Swain-Lupton analysis we determine the electronic effects to be transmitted 67% by through-bond or field effect and 33% by resonance. These results indicate that there is significant conjugation between the phenyl rings and the porphyrin core of iron tetraphenylporphyrin systems.

SummaryThe effect of changes in platelet membrane cholesterol content on thromboxane A2 (TXA2)-induced platelet activation was studied. Concentrations of 9,ll-epithio-ll,12-methano-TXA2 (STA2), a stable analogue of TXA2 which can cause half-maximal aggregation and release of [14C]serotonin in cholesterol-rich platelets were significantly lower than those in cholesterol-normal platelets. STA2-induced increase in cytosolic calcium concentration and [32P]phosphatidic acid formation in cholesterol-rich platelets were significantly greater than those in cholesterol-normal platelets. The maximal concentration of binding site (Bmax) for SQ29548 was significantly increased in cholesterol-rich platelets compared with cholesterol-normal platelets, while the equilibrium dissociation rate constant (Kd) for SQ29548 did not differ between cholesterol-rich and cholesterol-normal platelets. The present study suggested that sensitivity to TXA2 was increased by the incorporation of cholesterol into platelet membrane and that the cause of hypersensitivity to TXA2 in cholesterol-rich platelets may be partly explained by an increase in binding capacity for TXA2.

AbstractHfO2 as a dielectric material in MOS capacitor by direct sputtering of Hf in an O2 ambient onto a Si substrate was studied. The results showed that the interface layer formed between HfO2 and the Si substrate was affected by the RTA time in the 500°C annealing temperature. Since the interface layer is mainly composed of hafnium silicate, and has high interface trap density, the effective barrier height is therefore lowered with increased RTA time. The change in the effective barrier height will affect the FN tunneling current and the operation of the MOS devices when it is applied for nonvolatile memory devices.

ABSTRACT When performing predictive durability analyses on tires using finite element methods, it is generally recognized that energy release rate (ERR) is the best measure by which to characterize the fatigue behavior of rubber. By addressing actual cracks in a simulation geometry, ERR provides a more appropriate durability criterion than the strain energy density (SED) of geometries without cracks. If determined as a function of crack length and loading history, and augmented with material crack growth properties, ERR allows for a quantitative prediction of fatigue life. Complications arise, however, from extra steps required to implement the calculation of ERR within the analysis process. This article presents an overview and some details of a method to perform such analyses. The method involves a preprocessing step that automates the creation of a ribbon crack within an axisymmetric-geometry finite element model at a predetermined location. After inflating and expanding to three dimensions to fully load the tire against a surface, full ribbon sections of the crack are then incrementally closed through multiple solution steps, finally achieving complete closure. A postprocessing step is developed to determine ERR as a function of crack length from this enforced crack closure technique. This includes an innovative approach to calculating ERR as the crack length approaches zero.
