The Dewey Square Tunnel in Boston, part of the Central Artery I-93 alignment, is to be upgraded to satisfy current highway standards. The preliminary design includes extensive structural modification. Construction staging plans include a program of inspection and material testing of the existing structure.

Microstructure of epitaxial layers of doped GaAs and its crystal growth dynamics on single crystal GaAs substrate were studied by Raman microspectroscopy with a Dilor OMARS instrument equipped with a 1024 photodiode multichannel detector and a ion-argon laser Spectra-Physics emitting at 514.5 nm.The spatial resolution of this technique, less than 1 μm2, allows the recording of Raman spectra at several spots in function of thickness, from the substrate to the outer deposit, including areas around the interface (Fig.l).The high anisotropy of the LO and TO Raman bands is indicative of the orientation of the epitaxial layer as well as of the structural modification in the deposit and in the substrate at the interface.With Sn doped, the epitaxial layer also presents plasmon in Raman scattering. This fact is already very well known, but we additionally observed that its frequency increases with the thickness of the deposit. For a sample with electron density 1020 cm-3, the plasmon L+ appears at 930 and 790 cm-1 near the outer surface.

Salvinorin A (SalA) is a plant metabolite that agonizes the human <i>kappa</i>-opioid receptor (κ-OR) with high affinity and high selectivity over <i>mu- </i>and <i>delta-</i>opioid receptors. Its therapeutic potential has stimulated extensive semi-synthetic studies and total synthesis campaigns. However, structural modification of SalA has been complicated by its instability, and efficient total synthesis has been frustrated by its dense, complex architecture. Treatment of strategic bonds in SalA as dynamic and dependent on structural perturbation enabled the identification of an efficient retrosynthetic pathway. Here we show that deletion of C20 simultaneously stabilizes the SalA skeleton, simplifies its synthesis and retains its high affinity and selectivity for the κ-OR. The resulting 10-step synthesis now opens the SalA scaffold to deep-seated property modification.

Parameter ratios are important information for the ship designer in the preliminary design stages. They can be used as a tool to identify the main parameter of vessel and their other technical characteristics. The information about parameter ratios of mono-hull vessel is currently available in Naval Architecture literatures, but it is not the case for the type of twin-hull vessel called catamaran. Having conducted technical analysis in this research, it has been identified that parameter ratios of passenger catamaran vessel made of FRP has values of L / B ratio from 2.52 up to 3.7, L / D ratio from 5.25 up to 11:24, slenderness ratio (Lwl/BwL) from  9 up to 12. Other values of various parameter ratios like B/T, D/T, L /√ L, and Displacement/L are also discussed.
