For example, while in modern games you might see characters made up of billions of little triangles, these are comprised of only a few hundred. This choice, and others like it were made due to restrictions on scope and time. While the code is supported by the OpenGL API and JOGL library, one of the design goals was to create as much of

because they can be made to include the structural features of various urea-based drugs and are readily attached to drug-polymer conjugate systems as Diels-Alder adducts. Here, a method of converting mono-, di-, and tri-substituted ureas to their corresponding hydroxyguanidines through a thionated intermediate is described. Thionation of each urea was carried out using 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane-2,4-disulfide (Lawesson’s reagent) under microwave conditions. Several methods

Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) are very stable and unreactive compounds with the ability to bioaccumulate in organisms. This is alarming because we are projected to increase the amount of PFCs manufactured by quite a significant amount. The production and accumulation of PFCs in water systems across the globe has already been linked to numerous adverse health effects. Advanced Reduction Processes (ARPs) that enlist the help of hydrated electrons show promise for breaking down a variety of PFCs, including the most
