In a series of publications we have described the kinetics of free-radical formation from molybdenum carbonyl in association with organic halides in a number of electron-donating solvents. Radical formation involves the displacement of carbon monoxide from the carbonyl by the solvent or vinyl monomer in a rate-determining process giving rise to complexes of the type Mo(CO)5L (where L represents...

This research studies the effect of normalization on ductility and corrosion resistance API 5L X65 pipe. Normalization conducted at a temperature 900 °C with holding time 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 minutes, followed by cooling down to room using an external air. Corrosion testing normalized specimens was performed seawater as corrosive environment, -and were also tested for microhardness determine th...

This article presents a novel dual-mode five-level common grounded type (5L-DM-CGT) transformerless inverter topology for medium-power application with wide input voltage range (200–400 V). It consists of nine semiconductor switches, two inner flying-capacitors, and small LC filter at the output side. Due to direct connection negative terminal photovoltaic neutral point grid, there is no leakag...

Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hepatic overproduction of oxalate. Excretion excess oxalate the kidneys leads to recurrent kidney stones, nephrocalcinosis, progressive disease, and multiorgan damage from systemic oxalosis. Patients progressing or presenting with failure require invasive approaches such as dialysis liver and/or transplantation. Ther...

BACKGROUND The 12-question Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale (MSWS-12v1) is a widely-used patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure of walking ability in multiple sclerosis (MS). OBJECTIVE To estimate the magnitude of an important change in MSWS-12v1 scores for the interpretation of meaningful subject-level improvements across a 6-month trial of MS patients with walking disability. METHODS MOBI...

In-transit supply of nutrients and water supplement is essential to maintaining good chick quality and wellbeing during long, international shipments. Although chicks require light to promote ingestion of nutrients, supply of continuous in-transit lighting is impractical. This study compared four intermittent lighting regimens of 1L:5D, 5L:10D,10L:10D, and 5L:15D applied to a three-day simulate...
