As a part of an ongoing effort to discover inhibitors of the Hepatitis C Virus RNA replication, we describe here the first synthetic route of 1'($\alpha$),2'($\beta$)-C-dimethyl carbocyclic adenine analogue. The key intermediate cyclopentenyl alcohol 8($\alpha$) was prepared from aldehyde 4 using ring-closing metathesis (RCM) as a key reaction. Coupling of 8($\alpha$) with nucleosidic base via the regioselective Mitsunobu reaction followed by stereoselective dihydoxylation and deprotection afforded the target carbocyclic adenine analogue 12.

3-(Hydroxyphenyl phosphinyl) propanoic acid (HPPA) has been one of the most commonly used durable flame retardant agents for polyethylene terephthalate (PET) for many years. We intended to explore the application of HPPA to cellulose fabrics as formaldehyde-free phosphorus based flame retardants (FRs) through green chemistry process. The flame retardancy of the flame-retardant treated cellulose fabrics were characterized by using inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP) and limiting oxygen index (LOI). Structural changes of the treated cellulose fabrics were carried out by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. To enhance the flame retardancy of HPPA treated cellulose fibers, glycerol polyglycidyl ether (GPE), a crosslinking agent was employed. Both HPPA and GPE treated cotton fabric imparted an LOI value over 26.

In this paper, the dielectric properties of epoxy composites used for transformers are studied. The dielectric permittivity and loss of specimen are measured at the frequency range of 30[Hz]∼1[MHz] about temperature 20[$^{\circ}C$],100[$^{\circ}C$] and 140[$^{\circ}C$] respectively from a series of experiments. When the filler is added, between epoxy and silica is formed interface. Therefore, observed higher values of dielectric permittivity and loss in filled epoxy are attributed to MWS polarization effect. Also, glass transition temperature was shifted to higher temperature and value of dielectric permittivity and loss were decreased due to 2nd curing. Deformation of interfacial state is improved and value of dielectric permittivity and loss were decreased at low frequency region by the surface treatment of fillers with silane coupling agents.

N-Aryl-N'(4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)guanidines (IIa-c) were prepared by cyclization of N-arybiguanides (Ia-c) with ethyl acetoacetate. Coupling of compounds (IIa-c) with the appropriate diazotized arylamine gave N-aryl-N'-(5-arylhydrazono-6-methyl-4-oxopyrimidin-2-yl) guanidines (IIIa-f). Whereas, their chlorination with phosphorus oxychloride followed by treatment of N-aryl-N'-(4-Chloro-6-methyl-2-pyrimidinyl)guanidimes (IVac) with the appropriate arylamine afforded the corresponding 4-arylamino derivatives (Vaf). Compounds (IIa-f) were also formed when compounds (1a-c) were treated with ethyl 2-arylhydrazono-3-oxobutyrates. The antimircobial testing of some of the prepared compounds against some pathogenic microorganisms revealed that only two have a marked effect against Escherichia coli.

During the research for the development of antitumor agents. we found the 3-arylisoquinoline derivatives exhibited potent cytotoxicity against human tumor cell lines. For extending our study on these compounds. indeno［1.2-c］isoquinolines were chosen as the next research target due to previous studied data of the compounds that showed potent topoisomerase I inhibition activity as well as cytotoxicity against many kinds of tumor cell lines. Retrosynthetic consideration of indeno[1.2-d]isoquinolines indicates that the coupling of o-methyltoluamide with o-hydroxymethylbenxonitrile might afford 3-arylisoquinoline which could be translerred to the aldehtde. Indeno [1.2-c]isoquinolines can be formed by and inframolecular ring cyclization method. Various derlvatives of this compound including 11-alkoxy-6-methyl-6H. 11H-indeno[1.2-c]isoquinolin-5-one and biological activity will be presented with the docking model with topisomerase 1 enzyme.

This paper studies the output consensus problem for a class of heterogeneous linear multi-agent systems under a fixed directed communication network. The dynamics, as well as its dimension, of each agent can widely differ from the others, but all the agents are assumed to have the same transfer matrix. In addition, only the system outputs are constrained to be delivered through the network. Under these conditions, we show that the output consensus is reached by a group of identical controllers, which is designed to achieve the state consensus for the homogeneous multi-agent system obtained from the minimal realization of the transfer matrix. Finally, an example is given to demonstrate the proposed result.

Maintaining agility and responsiveness m designing and manufacturing activities are the key issues for manufacturing companies to cope with global competition. Distributed design and control systems are regarded as an efficient solution for agility and responsiveness. However, distributed nature of a manufacturing system complicates production activities such as design, simulation, scheduling, and execution control. Especially, existing simulation systems have limited external integration capabilities, which make it difficult to implement complex control mechanisms for the distributed manufacturing systems. Moreover, integration and coupling of heterogeneous components and models are commonly required for the simulation of complex distributed systems. In this paper, a collaborative and adaptive simulation architecture is proposed as an open framework for simulation and analysis of the distributed manufacturing enterprises. By incorporating agents with their distributed characteristics of autonomy, intelligence, and goal-driven behavior, the proposed agent-based simulation architecture can be easily adapted to support the agile and distributed manufacturing systems. The architecture supports the coordination and cooperation relations, and provides a communication middleware among the participants in simulation.

Bonding metal and textile components to rubber has always posed a problem. In this paper, an attempt had been made to modify textile and metal surfaces for bonding with rubber. The metal surfaces were modified using silane coupling agents and textile fibers were modified using plasma polymerization techniques. Some results on adhesion of metals to a range of sulfur-cured rubber compounds using a combination of organofunctional silanes are given here. The treatment was not only effective for high-sulfur compounds but also for low-sulfur com pounds as used in engine mounts and even for some semi-EV compounds. Coatings of plasmapolymerized pyrrole or acetylene were deposited on aramid and polyester tire cords. Standard pull-out force adhesion measurements were used to determine adhesion of tire cords to rubber compounds. The plasma coatings were characterized by various techniques and the performance results are explained in an interpenetrating network model.

New benzotriazoles (5-8) or dibenzodiazepine derivatives (11-18) were synthesized starting from 3-[(2-amino- 4,5-disubstitutedphenyl)amino]-5,5-disubstitutedcyclohex-2-enones (1-4) through internal coupling of their diazonium salts or internal Mannich reaction in the presence of aromatic aldehydes. Pharmacological evaluation of benzotriazole and dibenzodiazepine derivatives for their clozapine-like properties revealed that dibenzodiazepine 11 bearing 4-bromophenyl group exhibited the same antipsychotic activity as the reference drug clozapine while the activity of benzotriazole 7 was 25% lesser than that of clozapine. Moreover, compounds 7 and 11 did not show significant CNS depressant activity as well as no or slight neurotoxicity on contrast to clozapine when tested in mice using forced swim, rotarod and horizontal screen tests.

This study was performed to estimate the possibility of use of plant materials as catalytic agents fur the decontamination of waste waters contaminated with organic pollutants by using 2,4-dichlorophenol(2,4-DCP) as a model pollutant. Plant materials containing high peroxidase activity were selected as catalysts for the removal of 2,4-DCP. Peroxidase activity, which plant materials were containing, was measured, and the greatest peroxidase activity was observed in shepherd's purse, followed by turnip, sweet potato, Chinese cabbage and white radish. The peroxidase activity in shepherd's purse was four times higher than that of horseradish purchased in U.S.A. Using shepherd' s purse and turnip, it was investigated the effect of various factors on the decontamination of 2,4-DCP through oxidative coupling. The removal of 2,4-DCP was extremely fast, and a maximal removal could be achieved within 3 min for shepherd' s purse and 15min for turnip. The pH range was from 3.0 to 8.0 and the amount of $H_2O_2$ added was 9mM when maximal removal was achieved(over 90%). No increasing removal of 2,4-DCP was observed due to increasing the amount of $H_2O_2$ added (over 9mM). The initial concentration affected the transformation of 2,4-DCP incubated with plant materials. When turnip was used as catalytic agent, it was observed decreasing transformation of 2,4-DCP due to increasing initial concentration.
