Abstract A stereoselective synthesis of (±)-botryodiplodin is presented. The key reaction is a radical cyclization of a bromoacetal (Ueno-Stork reaction). The stereogenic acetal center has been used to control the stereoselectivity of the process: the difficulty in cont...

Abstract This study investigates the relationship between countries’ structural economic vulnerability (EVI) and the bilateral aid received from donors, including in the context of higher degree of trade openness and/or financial openness. The empirical analysis suggest...

Summary Iron is essential for most living organisms. In addition, its biogeochemical cycling influences important processes in the geosphere (e.g., the mobilization or immobilization of trace elements and contaminants). The reduction of Fe(III) to Fe(II) can be catalyse...

This panel was developed for the enumeration of chemokine receptor expression on CD4 T cells from the na€ive (TN) stem cell memory (TSCM) central memory (TCM) and effector memory (TEM) cell subsets (Table 1). Eight chemokine receptors were chosen based upon previously p...

Abstract Several preclinical evidence indicate that the modulation of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) represents a promising therapeutic approach for different diseases. However, only few modulators of this system have reached so far an advanced stage of clinical devel...

Coronary artery disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The stenotic coronary vessels are generally treated with coronary artery bypass grafts (CABGs), which can be either arterial (internal mammary artery, radial artery) or venous (saphenous vein). How...

In palæolimnological studies, inference models based on aquatic organisms are frequently used to estimate summer lake surface water temperatures. However, the calibration of such models is often unsatisfactory because of the sparseness of measured water temperature data...

We use a dynamic multipath general-to-specific algorithm to capture structural instability in the link between euro area sovereign bond yield spreads against Germany and their underlying determinants over the period January 1999 – August 2011. We offer new evidence sugg...
