Abstract:
This work is divided into two main parts, the first looking at <i>Rhododendron</i> growth on limestone soils, both domestic (horticultural) and Chinese (wild), and the second looking at taxonomic trends in the leaf wax hydrocarbons of subsection Taliensia using Gas Chromatography. Analysis of <i>Rhododendron </i>plants growing on limestone soils was carried out using ICP-AES to look at levels of eight elements in the leaves and their availability in soils. Results showed that Ca and Mg concentrations and pH were correlated closely and loosely inverse to these were Cu, Fe and Mn concentrations

Abstract:
The major focus of our research has been the design, synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of serotonin or 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; 1) analogs. These include the conformationally restricted, rigid and semirigid analogs and those with a variety of different substituents, both electron donating and electron withdrawing, on the critically important indole 5-position. Two most interesting analogs in the tryptamine series are 5- carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT; 3a), a potent agonist at 5-HT₁ receptor and N,N-dipropyl- 5-carboxamido tryptamine (5-DPCT; 3b), a potent and selective agonist at the 5-H

Neumann's integral theorem has been used to establish exact analytical solutions for chronoamperometric experiments and for the steady state limiting current for CE and catalytic EC mechanisms. To convert these solutions into a useful form, FORTRAN programs have been written for the necessary numerical calculations. The analytical response of microdiscs, for chronoamperometry as well as the steady state for CE and EC' reactions is presented. A different theoretical approach, as well as digital simulations, are used for the interpretation of steady state limiting currents for EC' reactions, in

Chromone and flavanone derivatives were prepared by condensation of the corresponding 2-hydroxyacetophenones (with diethyl oxalate or the appropriate aromatic aldehyde respectively) and cyclisation of the condensation products.

Spectroscopic techniques have been used to establish the regioselectivity of the rearrangement and hence, the identity of the rearranged products as 1,5-benzodioxepan-4-ones.

The unique mineral and chemical composition of enstatite chondrites has been difficult to explain. Contrary to the conclusions of other workers, there is no evidence for a significant chemical difference between EH and EL chondrites, except in bulk S. Analyzed splits of the enstatite chondrites vary widely in major element composition, largely as a result of analyzing inadequate sample sizes. The phases in enstatite chondrites most likely to reflect conditions in the solar nebula include enstatite, forsterite, diopside, silica polymorph, albite, metal, troilite, oldhamite, niningerite, schreib

The pKa values have been found to lie within a narrow range (1.92 - 2.52), and the observed substituent effects have been rationalized with the aid of semi-empirical and ab initio molecular orbital calculations.

A voltammetric study of the detector in the stopped flow mode was carried out and evidence is presented of restricted diffusion imposed by the shallow depth of the cell. In hydrodynamic voltammetry, the detector exhibited a gradual progression from thin-layer to wall jet behaviour as the flow rate increased. This gradation is discussed in terms of a model in which flow in the electrode chamber forms concentric

Hydrolase catalyzed reactions are used for selective chemical catalysis.

This study investigates four selective hydrolase catalyzed reactions. Using molecular modeling the unusual regioselectivity of Pseudomonas cepacia lipase (PCL) and the selectivity of Candida antarctica B lipase (CAL-B) in nucleoside acylation reactions has been attributed to the binding of the nucleoside base within the active site.
