A new method of forming resin bound thioesters and their use as ‘traceless’ linkers in solid phase synthesis
No full textResin bound thioesters can be prepared by heating thioamides in aqueous DMF with Merrifield resin in the presence of sodium iodide. These thioamides can be cleaved to give alcohols, ketones and lactones by a variety of methods
Top Physics with the ATLAS detector at LHC
No full textIn 2009, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will provide first proton-proton collisions. The LHC will be the first top quark factory. After the Top quark discovery and first measurements at Tevatron, the LHC will open a new opportunity for precision measurements of the Top quark properties. Some of the early LHC physics results could come from Top physics, leading to a major improvement of Top quark understanding and eventually opening a window for physics beyond the standard model. Studies performed at 14 TeV in order to estimate the potential of ATLAS to perform an accurate determination of the top quark pair and Single Top production cross section, to measure the top quark mass, the top quark charge, the W and Top polarisations, the Standard Model decay (t-> bW), to search for rare top quark decays and ttbar resonance production are reviewed in this tal

The First World War gave rise to a surge of war novels, many of which were aimed at a young audience. These novels can be characterized as adventure stories with boys as their main target group. Swedish author Erik Pallin’s Kaparkaptenen på Emden: Romantiserad skildring från det stora världskriget 1914 (The Privateer Captain of Emden: Romanticized Depiction from the Great World War in 1914) was published in December 1914. It is not only one of the first Swedish youth novels about the war, but also one of the most intriguing as the tension between reality and fiction is particularly strong in Pallin’s novel. It tells the story of the German cruiser Emden whose raids in the Indian Ocean attracted much attention from journalists and authors. The article investigates how Pallin depicted the war for his young readers, focusing on the relationship between fact and fiction. The analysis shows that Pallin, much like the journalists reporting on Emden, transforms Emden’s warfare into heroic adventure tales and portrays Emden’s captain as a charismatic hero who symbolizes the male ideal of the time. The analysis concludes that Kaparkaptenen på Emden to some extent can be considered a “newsreel novel” (Paris), but that Pallin also romanticizes Emden’s warfare to appeal to his young readers. Rather than depicting the atrocities of real-life war, Pallin presents the war as an adventure with idyllic, romantic, and comical elements. The novel’s happy ending, with the war coming to an end, suggests that Pallin wished to take a stance against the war, but it can also be read as a strategy used to appeal to his young audience by offering them a story of hope
TILECAL detector capabilities at SLHC
No full textThis document is a first approach to determine to what extend the TILECAL system is able to cope with the various available (fall 2004) LHC upgrade scenarios. The impacts of these scenarios on the detector, the readout electronics and the TILECAL performances are rewieved leading to a general table summarizing the capabilities or limitations of the presently designed TILECAL
A Right Without A Remedy: The Unenforceable Medical Procedure Patent
No full textMr. Anderson discusses the current status of medical procedure patents in the United States through the examination of a survey conducted on patent law and the patentability of inventions. Mr. Anderson examines the history of medical process patents and the controversy surrounding such patents and offers an analysis of current law. The analysis focuses on the Pallin v. Singer decision and the congressional reaction to the holding that eventually led to the passage of 35 U.S.C. § 287(c). As a result of the Pallin decision and 35 U.S.C. § 287(c), a patent may be granted for a medical procedure, but the patent owner cannot enforce it against likely infringers. Thus, Mr. Anderson demonstrates how current patent laws are adequate to encompass such patents and rejects racing to a sui generis solution
