  • Publication number: 20200268683
    Abstract: A high-throughput screening methods for identifying candidate anticancer medicinal agents is described herein. The candidate anticancer medicinal agents are arylfluorosulfate compounds derived from phenolic compounds. The method involves in situ generation of the arylfluorosulfate compounds in multi-well plates by reaction of phenolic compounds in DMSO with a saturated solution of SO2F2 dissolved in a solvent such as acetonitrile, in the presence of an organic base, followed by reaction of generated fluoride ion with trimethylsilyl chloride to form volatile trimethylsilyl fluoride. Solvents, organic base, and silyl compounds are then removed, in vacuo, to afford the arylfluorosulfate compounds suitable for biological screening in cancer cell lines without further purification.

  • Publication number: 20200272954
    Abstract: Systems and methods for scheduling early riders (ERs) and late riders (LRs) to vehicles in a multi-modal transportation network (MTN). Stored instructions, when executed, cause a processor to perform acts of forecasting a finite set of scenarios, each scenario having a possible set of forecast LRs (FLRs) itinerary requests. Iteratively, generate ER groups and FLR groups for each scenario, based on a desired time of arrival at a destination. Assign a commuter vehicle (CV) for each ER and FLR group in each scenario. Iteratively, determine for each ER and FLR group a start time and an arrival time at the destination in the corresponding CV, for which, the ER and FLR group are assigned. The iterations continue until a joint schedule for the ERs and the FLRs form each scenario that minimizes an objective function. Formulate assignment information, and transmit the assignment information to the ERs and the assigned CVs.
