Some Problems of Thin Circular Cylindrical Shells. I. The Equations

“…and Simmonds [14] in various waYR. Similar partial conclusions using a heuristic approach have been presented by l\Ieck [15] Simplified equations such as those of Donnell or ::\lorley attempt to cover both the inner and the outer equations at the same time. Therefore, solutions to these equations should be equivalent to both the inner and outer solutions in their respective regions.…”

Biological Evaluation of Dipyrromethanes in Cancer Cell Lines: Antiproliferative and Pro‐apoptotic Properties

“…Clear G 2 /M-phase arrest induced by 14 b led us to speculate about the underlying molecular mechanism.G 2 /M arrest could be ar esult of DNA damage, interferencew ith mitotic spindles, or cell-cycle checkpoint components. [24] Therefore, we examined the phosphorylation and level of tumor suppressor p53, ap rotein upregulated upon DNA damage [25] in MCF-7 breast adenocarcinoma cells (MCF-7 cellsw ere used because they express functional p53 gene, in contrastt oO CI-LY2 andK 562 cells with mutant p53), but compound 14 b increased neither the level of p53 nor its phosphorylation.W ea lso investigated whether 14 b could interact with proteins whose inhibition results in arrest of the cell cycle at G 2 /M phase (such as mitotic kinases or motor proteins), but again 14 b did not inhibitt he activity of any of the tested proteins( SupportingI nformation Ta ble S1).…”

Decelerating and Trapping Large Polar Molecules

“…[5] An alternative design is as imple two-dimensional planar array of electrodes, which confinesp ackets in only two dimensions. This design, which comes from demonstratedm icrostructured Stark decelerators, [30] greatly increases phase space acceptance at the expense of confinement, resulting in higher numbersb ut lower densities of trappeds amples; it is only reasonable when the decelerator can be made approximately as wide as it long, as is the case here.…”

“…State purity in Stark-decelerated samples varies greatly with speciesa nd decelerator design. [20,21] The technique described here would produce decelerated samples containing as mall number of states;for example, adecelerated beam of benzonitrile from a4Kb uffer gas source would contain significant populations of states j 7 70 i, j 6 60 i, j 5 50 i, j 4 40 i,a nd j 3 30 i.E xperimenters requiring higher state purity coulds electively pump trappedo rd eceleratingm olecules out of specifico ccupied states throughr esonant microwave fields. Buffer-gas cooling has been shown to be an effective tool for cooling both vibrational and conformal degrees of freedom in many species, althoughv ibrations in light, stiff speciesh ave been observed to cool slowly.…”
