IN THE TITLE SYDNONE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 3-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-1,2,3-oxadiazol-3-ium-5-olate], C(9)H(8)N(2)O(3), the essentially planar oxadiazole ring [maximum deviation = 0.005 (1) Å] is inclined at a dihedral angle of 30.32 (8)° with respect to the benzene ring. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are inter-connected by inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into sheets lying parallel ...

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C6H8NO(+)·C7H7O3S(-), contains two cations and two anions. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked through extensive N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, which result in R 4 (4)(18) and R 2 (1)(4) ring motifs, forming a three-dimensional network.

—It has been estimated that approximately one-third of hardwood sawlogs have a significant amount of sweep and that 7 to nearly 40 percent of the yield is lost from logs that have greater than 1 inch of sweep. While decreased yield is important, for hardwood logs the loss of lumber value is likely more significant. A method that produced lumber while accounting for log curvature (sweep) would a...

Two new species of the genus Pediculaster Vitzthum, 1931 (Acari: Pygmephoroidea: Pygmephoridae), P. ermilovi sp. nov. and P. lignarius sp. nov. are described from rotten logs in Tyumen, Western Siberia, Russia. A key to phoretic females of Palaearctic species of the genus Pediculaster is provided.

A synergistic effect between silver and UV radiation has been observed that can appreciably enhance the effectiveness of UV radiation for inactivation of viruses. At a fluence of ca. 40 mJ/cm(2), the synergistic effect between silver and UV was observed at silver concentrations as low as 10 microg/liter (P < 0.0615). At the same fluence, an MS-2 inactivation of ca. 3.5 logs (99.97%) was achieve...

Measurement–based system dependability analysis can provide important insight into the failure mechanisms exhibited by operational systems. Error and failure logs can be studied to determine events that trigger system malfunctions and/or generate general statistics that relate workloads, errors and failures. It is also possible to identify reliability bottlenecks in both hardware and software t...

The goal of reaching a high level of security in wireless and wired communication networks is continuously proven difficult to achieve. The speed at which both keepers and violators of secure networks is evolving is relatively close. Nowadays network infrastructures contain a large number of event logs captured by Firewalls and Domain Controllers (DCs). However, these logs are increasingly beco...
