Second Route (second + route)
Selected AbstractsFacile synthesis of 3-spiroindolinesHETEROATOM CHEMISTRY, Issue 3 2002Yehia A. Allam Cyanoacetyldiazoindol-2-one (3), the condensation product of cyanoacetohydrazide with isatin (1), could be cyclized in acidic medium via its CN group and its enolic OH to give cyanomethyloxadiazole-spiroindoline (4). The presence of the methylcyano side chain could be invested,through oximation, diazotization, or condensation with aldehydes,to form polyfunctional spiroindolines 5, 8,10. Also, a second route for preparing the title compound could be achieved through a nucleophilic attack on position 3 in the isatin derivatives, followed by subsequent ring closure to give 6 and 7. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

DOI 10.1002/hc.10020 [source] The anatomy of language: contributions from functional neuroimagingJOURNAL OF ANATOMY, Issue 3 2000CATHY J. PRICE This article illustrates how functional neuroimaging can be used to test the validity of neurological and cognitive models of language. Three models of language are described: the 19th Century neurological model which describes both the anatomy and cognitive components of auditory and visual word processing, and 2 20th Century cognitive models that are not constrained by anatomy but emphasise 2 different routes to reading that are not present in the neurological model. A series of functional imaging studies are then presented which show that, as predicted by the 19th Century neurologists, auditory and visual word repetition engage the left posterior superior temporal and posterior inferior frontal cortices. More specifically, the roles Wernicke and Broca assigned to these regions lie respectively in the posterior superior temporal sulcus and the anterior insula. In addition, a region in the left posterior inferior temporal cortex is activated for word retrieval, thereby providing a second route to reading, as predicted by the 20th Century cognitive models. This region and its function may have been missed by the 19th Century neurologists because selective damage is rare. The angular gyrus, previously linked to the visual word form system, is shown to be part of a distributed semantic system that can be accessed by objects and faces as well as speech. Other components of the semantic system include several regions in the inferior and middle temporal lobes. From these functional imaging results, a new anatomically constrained model of word processing is proposed which reconciles the anatomical ambitions of the 19th Century neurologists and the cognitive finesse of the 20th Century cognitive models. The review focuses on single word processing and does not attempt to discuss how words are combined to generate sentences or how several languages are learned and interchanged. Progress in unravelling these and other related issues will depend on the integration of behavioural, computational and neurophysiological approaches, including neuroimaging. [source] Reactive grafting of glycidyl methacrylate onto polypropyleneJOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE, Issue 5 2010Emma-Louise Burton Abstract This work explored the melt-phase grafting of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto polypropylene on a closely intermeshing corotating twin-screw extruder (16-mm screws, 40 : 1 length/diameter ratio). The modification of the base polypropylene to produce GMA-grafted polypropylene was achieved via peroxide-induced hydrogen abstraction from the polypropylene followed by the grafting of the GMA monomer or by the grafting of styrene followed by copolymerization with the GMA. In this study, both the position and order of the reactant addition were investigated as a route to improving graft yields and reducing side reactions (degradation). For the peroxide,GMA system, adding GMA to the melt before the peroxide resulted in significant improvements in the graft levels because of the improved dispersion of GMA in the melt. The addition of a comonomer (styrene) was explored as a second route to improving the graft yield. Although the addition of the comonomer led to a considerable rise in the level of grafted GMA, altering the order of the reactant addition was not found to contribute to an increase in the grafted GMA levels. However, variable levels of grafted styrene were achieved, and this may play an important role in the development of grafted polymers to suit specific needs. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010 [source] Social class background and the school-to-work transitionNEW DIRECTIONS FOR CHILD & ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT, Issue 119 2008Jeremy Staff Whereas in years past, young people typically made a discrete transition from school to work, two ideal typical routes now characterize the sharing of school and work roles during adolescence and the transition to adulthood. Longitudinal data from the Youth Development Study show that one route involves less intensive employment during high school, followed by continued part-time employment and postsecondary educational investment. This pathway, more common for youth of higher-class origins, is especially beneficial for young people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. A second route is early intensive work experience during high school that is less conducive to longer-term educational and wage attainments. [source] Two synthesis routes of organometallic precursors for the elaboration of SiCNYO pre-alloyed nanopowdersAPPLIED ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 4 2010Sirine Chehaidi Abstract Two routes were simultaneously investigated to prepare organometallic precursors. They were characterized by NMR and FTIR techniques. In the first route, yttrium acetate was silylated by trimethylchlorosilane before its dissolution in hexamethydisilazane. That leads to a liquid precursor containing SiCNYOH elements. In the second route, a precursor with the same elements was elaborated by dissolution of an amminolysed yttrium compound in tetramethyldisiloxane. The amminolysed yttrium compound was obtained through the amminolysis of the yttrium trichloride by triethylamine [N(C2H5)3]. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] | ||||||||||
