Syntheses of Dimensionally Altered Enzyme Substrates by Means of the Finkelstein Reaction (Benzopurine, Naphthopurine)
… array of rings was constructed by means of the Finkelstein reaction. lin-Naphthoadenosine was synthesized by ribosidation of 9-methylthiobenzimidazo{5,6-g}quinazoline followed by ammonia displacement. Syntheses of benzimidazo{5,6-g}-8H-quinazolin-9-one (lin-naphthohypoxanthine) and …

The scattering of fast neutrons by lead. Construction of an ion source and accelerating tube
… recent years is an ion source designed by A. T. Finkelstein and described in the "Review of Scientific Instruments". One of the purposes of the work discussed in this paper was the adaption of an ion source of the Finkelstein type to the Rice Institute Cockcroft-Walton high voltage particle …

Finite-Difference Methods for the Wave Equation with Reduced Dispersion Errors
A new methodology was proposed in Finkelstein and Kastner (2007,2008) to derive finite-difference (FD) schemes in the joint time-space domain to reduce dispersion error. The key idea is that the true dispersion relation is satisfied exactly at some specified wavenum- bers. Liu and Sen (2009) …

Board control, firm ownership structure, and chief executive compensation : an empirical analysis
… that have to do with setting their compensation (Finkelstein and Hambrick, 1988; Westphal and Zajac, 1994). Also, that both institutional and large block holders have the power and the incentive to monitor CEO actions to make sure they are in their own interest. Finally, it is expected that both …

Manganese-catalyzed carbonylation of alkyl iodides
… are also feasible substrates through in situ Finkelstein reaction with catalytic to substoichiometric amounts of sodium iodide. The functional group tolerance is high and the conditions for the transformation are mild using only 40 psi of carbon monoxide pressure and temperatures between r.t. …

Expanding the structural diversity of discrete polymers accessible through iterative exponential growth
… Using alkynylation of epichlorohydrin, LiBr Finkelstein, and TfOH-promoted allylation, we have been able to prepare a monomer for 3A (number of carbons in each polymer repeat unit, excluding alkyne) IEG in just three steps. Furthermore, the same reactions can be integrated in the synthesis of …

Hormone analyses of Black-Footed Albatross (Phoebastria Nigripes) at Midway Atoll NWR and Tern Island, Hawaiian Islands NWR
… by lead in the soil (Work and Smith, 1996; Finkelstein et aI., 2003). Studies on endocrine disruption and effects of PCB contamination in wildlife have shown that estradiol and testosterone levels may be ahered and skewed as a result of anthropogenic sources (Fry and Toone, 1981; Grasman et …

An exploration of the determinants of innovation:the top management team, organisational climate and organisational learning
… is a better predictor of an organisation’s fate (Finkelstein & Hambrick, 1996; Knight et al., 1999). However, others suggest that the importance of the top management team (TMT) composition literature is exaggerated (West & Schwenk, 1996). This has stimulated a need for further research on TMTs. …

The Role of Time Variant Resistance and Electromotive Force in Ionic Systems Related to Cell Membranes: The Excitability Properties of Frog Skin and Toad Bladder
<p>Central to the modern theory of the electrical properties of cells is the permeability of the plasma membrane to the ions passing across this structure; it has been our purpose to explore, both theoretically and experimentally, the physical implications of this point-of-view. The cornerstone of …

Adverse selection and government intervention in life and health insurance markets
This thesis examines the workings of insurance markets. The first two papers examine the effect of government tax and regulatory policy in markets for supplementary health insurance. The third paper presents new evidence of the importance of adverse selection in insurance markets. The first paper …

Novel approaches to the synthesis of selenium modified nucleosides, nucleotides and nucleic acids
Under Finkelstein-type reaction conditions, 2ʹ-deoxy-5ʹ-O-tosylnucleosides reacted cleanly with potassium selenocyanate in refluxing acetonitrile. Following quenching of excess selenocyanate with benzyl bromide and column chromatography, pure materials were isolated. Three novel …
