The Cu(II) atom in the title compound, [Cu(C(5)H(7)O(2))Cl(C(12)H(8)N(2))], shows a distorted square-planar coordination; the chelating N and O atoms occupy the basal sites and the Cl atom the apical site. The square-pyramidal character along the Berry D(3h)-C(4v) pseudorotation pathway is 92%.

Fatigue precracked specimens of three titanium alloys (6Al-4V, ELI, and Timetal 5111) were dynamically loaded in a drop weight tower system while the dynamic fracture toughness was inferred using Coherent Gradient Sensing, crack opening displacement, or strain gage methods. A comparison of the initiation toughness of the three materials as a function of loading rate and specimen thickness is made.

Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy has great application in medicine and military industries due to its capabilities, namely high strength to weight ratio and corrosion resistance. In the current research, the effect of aging treatment on microstructure and wear behavior of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy was investigated. Pin on disk wear test was applied to assess the wear behavior. Specimens were first solut...

We present a complete mathematical theory of two-body quantum mechanics for a class of potentials which is larger than the usual L-classes and which includes potentials with singularities as bad as r~ + . The basic idea is to define H0 4V as a sum of quadratic forms rather than as an operator sum.

Table I. Visible Bands of H2O on Compilation (4V,4V + δ,5v) dioxide; ozone; nitrous oxide; carbon monoxide; and oxygen. This new version supersedes the last revision of September 1976. The major modifications are to water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and oxygen (identified as molecules 1, 2, 6, and 7 on the compilation). All halfwidths of water for transitions up to 13,000 cm have been repla...

BACKGROUND Biofilm formation on indwelling medical devices is a ubiquitous problem causing considerable patient morbidity and mortality. In orthopaedic surgery, this problem is exacerbated by the large number and variety of material types that are implanted. Metallic hardware in conjunction with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement is commonly used. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES We asked whether po...

INTRODUCTION Our objectives were to assess the frequency and sustainability of American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) and Disease Activity Score (DAS)28(4v)-C-reactive protein (CRP) remission 12 months after the initiation of tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) therapy in a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) cohort. METHODS Data were collected of 273 biol...

The electron beam melting (EBM) is a useful technique for fabricating alloys that are difficult to machine and require expensive tools as well as the presence of inert atmosphere for further treatments. Under vacuum, EBM provides a controlled environment, reducing the drawbacks of the alloys of their processing in a conventional manner and thereby improving their microstructure, which can enhan...

Previous work has shown that hindbrain catecholamine neurons are required components of the brain's glucoregulatory circuitry. However, the mechanisms and circuitry underlying their glucoregulatory functions are poorly understood. Here we examined three drugs, glucosamine (GcA), phloridzin (Phl) and 5-thio-d-glucose (5TG), that stimulate food intake but interfere in different ways with cellular...
