The present study summarizes available literature data and then characterizes nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and ultraviolet (UV) spectral changes over a range of pH values to delineate the apparent sequence…

In this paper we show that molecular-beam surface scattering experiments can be used to derive quantitative information about the magnitude of BOA breakdown.

This study quantitatively investigated the effect of (−)-cis-1-Methyl-7-[[4-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)piperidin-1 -yl]methyl]-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-5-ol (SB-612111), a novel non-peptide ligand of NOP receptor, on the native NOP receptors in the midbrain ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG).

Dry etching of {0 0 0 1} basal planes of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) using active nitridation by nitrogen atoms was investigated at low pressures and high temperatures.

We hypothesized that ligands with buprenorphine's physical properties, but possessing increased NOP receptor affinity and efficacy, would improve the profile as a drug abuse medication and reduce addiction liability.

The thermal conductivity was found to decrease with increasing temperature for all materials. Results are discussed in terms of sample morphology and compared with data previously reported in the scientific…

We develop a systematic approach of quantifying spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and a rigorous theory of carrier spin relaxation caused by the SOC in disordered organic solids.

A novel technique for growing single crystalline aluminum nitride (AlN) films is presented. The novelty of the technique, specifically, comes from the use of an innovative physical vapor deposition magnetron…

This paper describes experiments carried out to characterize the effectiveness of different barrier wall configurations at reducing the hazards created by jet fires.

A series of tests examined the risk involved with hydrogen releases and deflagrations in a structure built to simulate a one-car garage.

This work focuses on epitaxial configurations designed for broadband absorption around 1850 nm, an optimal pump wavelength for transmission through GaSb substrates that allows for epi-down mounting for improved heat…

We present full-band structure calculations of temperature- and wavelength-dependent two-photon absorption coefficients and free-carrier absorption cross sections in GaAs, InP, and 0.92 eV-band gap Ga64In36As and InP60As40 alloys.
