DNA cyclization and looping in the wormlike limit: normal modes and the validity of the harmonic approximation [PDF]
For much of the last three decades Monte Carlo-simulation methods have been the standard approach for accurately calculating the cyclization probability, $J$, or J factor, for DNA models having sequence-dependent bends or inhomogeneous bending ...

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Hypervalent iodine-mediated cyclization of bishomoallylamides to prolinols
A change in mechanism was observed in the hypervalent iodine-mediated cyclization of N-alkenylamides when the carbon chain between the alkene and the amide increased from two to three atoms.

Synthesis of New Potentially Bioactive Bicyclic 2-Pyridones
Three convenient methods of reduction of the nitro group of 5-nitroimidazoles and 5-nitrothiazole that bear a diethylmethylene malonate group in an ortho-like position with respect to the nitro group and cyclization of the resulting amino derivatives are

Domino alkylation-cyclization reaction of propargyl bromides with thioureas/thiopyrimidinones: A new facile synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles and 5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones [PDF]
A new synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles and 5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-ones was developed as a domino alkylation-cyclization reaction of propargyl bromides with thioureas and thio¬pyrimidinones, respectively.

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Synthesis of a Molecular Charm Bracelet via Click Cyclization and Olefin Metathesis Clipping [PDF]
We describe the synthesis of a polycatenated cyclic polymer, a structure that resembles a molecular charm bracelet. Ruthenium-catalyzed ring-opening metathesis polymerization of an aminocontaining cyclic olefin monomer in the presence of a chain ...

Cyclization of Polyenes. III Cyclization of Squalene-oxides
For the purpose of finding the optimum conditions of biogenetic-type synthesis of onocerin from squalene 2, 3; 22, 23-dioxide (IV), acid-catalyzed cyclization (BF3-etherate in water-saturated benzene) of squalene-2, 3-oxide (I) was investigated to afford the compounds, III, V, VI, VII, VIII and IX. The gross structure of these compounds was established
