In the title compound, {[Cd(C(9)H(5)BrO(4))(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)]·H(2)O}(n), the Cd(II) atom has a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. Two N atoms from two 4,4'-bipyridine (bipy) ligands occupy the axial positions, while the equatorial positions are furnished by three carboxyl-ate O atoms from three 3-bromo-2-(carboxyl-atometh-yl)benzoate (bcb) ligands and one O atom from a water mol-...

The effects of an ammonia-based catalyst, surface coverage, organofunctional group and chain length on silane adhesion promoter efficacy were examined at a benzocyclobutene (BCB)/silicon dioxide interface with silanes of varying functionality and chain length. Fracture-mechanics-based techniques, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and contact-angle measurements were used to quantify the adhes...

BACKGROUND Fermenting feed has gained a lot of popularity in recent years owing to its renowned benefits to the livestock and feed quality. In the current study, Lentinus squarrosulus mushroom mycelium was tested for its potential as a fermenting agent and source of natural antioxidant in the feed. RESULTS Phenolic content of methanolic and hot water extracts of the mycelium culture and its f...

A Co3O4/Fe2O3 composite nanofiber-based solar photocatalyst has been prepared, and its catalytic performance was evaluated by degrading acridine orange (AO) and brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) beneath solar light. The morphological and physiochemical structure of the synthesized solar photocatalyst was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-...

This retrospective study compared mid-term outcome of a simple crural bypass (SCB, n=72) and branched crural bypass (BCB, n=23) constructed with reverse or in situ saphenous grafts or prosthetic grafts in patients with peripheral arterial disease grade III to IV (Fontaine classification) and type D lesions (TASC II classification). Life table analysis showed comparable primary (P=0.83), assiste...

Chemical homeostasis in the extracellular fluid of the central nervous system (CNS) is maintained by two brain barrier systems, i.e., the blood-brain barrier (BBB) that separates the blood circulation from brain interstitial fluid and the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCB) that separates the blood from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The choroid plexus, where the BCB is located, is a polari...

The Brazilian Cerrado biome (BCB) is among 25 biodiversity hotspots identified worldwide, and covers the recharge area of important aquifers rivers in South America. increase deforestation has been threatening water availability this region. In order to assist water-resource management BCB, study models daily streamflow a basin Cerrado, using two approaches: process-based model (Soil Water Asse...

This study was aimed at determining the effect of type 1 diabetes mellitus on bilirubin excretion, and to ascertain the impact of treatment with crude Aloe vera gel on bilirubin excretion. The phyto-constituents and median lethal dose of the plant material were determined before administration. Forty albino wistar rats were randomly assigned into four groups of 10 rats each as follows; control ...
