Weldable, Reprocessable, and Water-resistant Polybenzoxazine Vitrimer Crosslinked by Dynamic Imine Bonds.

Traditional polybenzoxazine thermosets cannot be reprocessed or recycled due to the permanent crosslinked networks. The dynamic exchangeable characteristics of imine bonds can impart the networks with reprocessabilities and recyclabilities. This study reported a weldable, reprocessable, and water-resistant polybenzoxazine vitrimer (C-ABZ) crosslinked by dynamic imine bonds.

Efficacy and Safety of Mazdutide in Chinese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase 2 Trial.

Objective: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mazdutide, a once-weekly glucagon-like peptide 1 and glucagon receptor dual agonist, in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Research Design And Methods: Adults with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with diet and exercise alone or with stable metformin (glycated hemoglobin A1c [HbA1c] 7.0-10.

Study on Hydrogen Sensitivity of Ziegler⁻Natta Catalysts with Novel Cycloalkoxy Silane Compounds as External Electron Donor.

Two novel cycloalkoxy silane compounds (ED1 and ED2) were synthesized and used as the external electron donors (EEDs) in Ziegler⁻Natta catalysts with diethyl 2,3-diisopropylsuccinate as internal electron donor. The results indicated that the Ziegler⁻Natta catalysts using ED1 and ED2 as EEDs had high catalytic activities and good stereoselectivities. The melt flow rate (MFR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) results revealed that the obtained polypropylene has higher MFR and lower average molecular weights than the commercial EED cyclohexyl methyl dimethoxysilane.

A Semantic Approach with Decision Support for Safety Service in Smart Home Management.

Research on smart homes (SHs) has increased significantly in recent years because of the convenience provided by having an assisted living environment. The functions of SHs as mentioned in previous studies, particularly safety services, are seldom discussed or mentioned. Thus, this study proposes a semantic approach with decision support for safety service in SH management.

Highly Active Copolymerization of Ethylene and -Acetyl--(ω-Alkenyl)-l-Tyrosine Ethyl Esters Catalyzed by Titanium Complex.

A series of -acetyl--(ω-alkenyl)-l-tyrosine ethyl esters were synthesized by the reaction of vinyl bromides (4-bromo-1-butene, 6-bromo-1-hexene, 8-bromo-1-octene and 10-bromo-1-decene) with -acetyl-l-tyrosine ethyl ester. ¹H NMR, elemental analysis, FT-IR, and mass spectra were performed for these -acetyl--(ω-alkenyl)-l-tyrosine ethyl esters. The novel titanium complex can catalyze the copolymerization of ethylene and -acetyl--(ω-alkenyl)-l-tyrosine ethyl esters efficiently and the highest catalytic activity was up to 6.

A Wireless Sensor Network-Based Approach with Decision Support for Monitoring Lake Water Quality.

Online monitoring and water quality analysis of lakes are urgently needed. A feasible and effective approach is to use a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Lake water environments, like other real world environments, present many changing and unpredictable situations.

(3-{[2,6-Bis(1-methyl-eth-yl)phen-yl]imino-κN}-1-phenyl-but-1-en-1-olato-κO)-di-methyl-aluminium.

The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, [Al(CH(3))(2)(C(22)H(26)NO)], displays a monomer with the Al(III) atom in a distorted tetra-hedral environment defined by two methyl groups and the N and O atoms of the chelating ketiminate anion. The O-Al-N bite angle of the chelating ligand is 94.14 (9)°.

An infinite zigzag chain of alternating Cl-Pd-Pd-Cl and Mo-Mo units.

Treatment of Pd(2)Cl(2)(CNC(6)H(3)Me(2)-2,6)(4) (1) with Mo(2)(O(2)CCF(3))(4) (2) in dichloromethane afforded an infinite zigzag chain [[Pd(2)Cl(2)(CNC(6)H(3)Me(2)-2,6)(4)][Mo(2)(O(2)CCF(3))(4)]](n) (3), where two metal-metal bonded dinuclear Pd-Pd and Mo-Mo units were bridged by chloro atoms. The Mo-Mo distance (2.1312(3) A) of 3 is significantly elongated compared to that of 2 (2.
