A series of Ti–pyridyl-phosphinimide complexes of the form Cp′TiX2[NPR2(2-CH2Py)] (Cp′ = Cp, Cp*, R = i-Pr, t-Bu, X = Cl, Me) have been prepared and characterized. These complexes generate ethylene polymerization catalysts upon activation with MAO or B(C6F5)3. The resulting polymers exhibit broad molecular weight distributions. The role of the pyridyl group is discussed in light of stoichiometric reactions of CpTiCl2[NPR2(2-CH2Py)] with B(C6F5)3.Key words: phosphinimide complexes, pyridyl-phosphinimides, olefin polymerization.

Recently, a computational model has been proposed of the social integration, as described in sociological terms by Blau. In this model, actors praise or critique each other, and these actions influence their social status and raise negative or positive emotions. The role of a self-deprecating strategy of actors with high social status has also been discussed there. Here, we develop a mean field approach, where the active and passive roles (praising and being praised, etc.) are decoupled. The phase transition from friendly to hostile emotions has been reproduced, similarly to the previously applied purely computational approach. For both phases, we investigate the time dependence of the distribution of social status. There we observe a diffusive spread, which — after some transient time — appears to be limited from below or from above, depending on the phase. As a consequence, the mean status flows.

Little work from the Natural Language Processing community has targeted the role of quantities in Natural Language Understanding. This paper takes some key steps towards facilitating reasoning about quantities expressed in natural language. We investigate two different tasks of numerical reasoning. First, we consider Quantity Entailment, a new task formulated to understand the role of quantities in general textual inference tasks. Second, we consider the problem of automatically understanding and solving elementary school math word problems. In order to address these quantitative reasoning problems we first develop a computational approach which we show to successfully recognize and normalize textual expressions of quantities. We then use these capabilities to further develop algorithms to assist reasoning in the context of the aforementioned tasks.

The recent discovery of the role of adenosine-analogues as neuroprotectants and cognitive enhancers has sparked interest in these molecules as new therapeutic drugs.
