The title compound (systematic name: cis-anti-cis-2,5,8,15,18,21-hexa-oxatri-cyclo-[20.4.0.0(9,14)]hexa-cosane aceto-nitrile disolvate), C20H36O6·2CH3CN, crystallizes from an aceto-nitrile solution of di-cyclo-hexane-18-crown-6 on evaporation. The mol-ecule is arranged around a center of symmetry with half the crown ether mol-ecule and one mol-ecule of aceto-nitrile symmetry independent. All O-...

A method for determining fetal sex by identification of Barr-Body in amniotic fluid by staining with aceto-orcein 120 patients pregnant for 20-40 weeks (Group 1) and 50 patients pregnant for 14-20 weeks (Group 2). The results were confirmed at birth or abortion. The accuracy of fetal sex diagnosis was 98.33% in Group 1 and 100% in Group 2. The method is extremely rapid, requiring no more tha...

A root-tip squash technique for screening of plant material for chromosome number in ploidy-breeding in Lolium is described. The technique permits karyotype study in the diploid material and gives well-spread chromosomes in polyploid material.

We have improved the previous model quantifying the bulk relationship between two key geophysical parameters, sea surface temperature (SST) and water vapor (WV) based on 14-year accumulated datasets. This improvement is achieved by the modification of the physical model derived by Stephens in 1990 and Gaffen et al. in 1992. With this improved model, we estimated WV between 2002 and 2004 using h...

A mixed dominating set of a graph G=(V,E) is D vertices and edges, such that for every edge or vertex, if it not in D, then adjacent incident to at least one vertex D. The domination problem find with minimum cardinality. It has applications system control some other scenarios NP-hard compute an optimal solution. This paper studies approximation algorithms hardness the weighted problem. version...

Ataxias are neurological disorders associated with the degeneration of Purkinje cells (PCs). Homozygous weaver mice (wv/wv) have been proposed as a model for hereditary cerebellar ataxia because they present motor abnormalities and PC loss. To ascertain the physiopathology of the weaver condition, the development of the cerebellar cortex lobes was examined at postnatal day (P): P8, P20 and P90....
