The title compound, [Zr₃(C₅H₅)₆Cl₂O₂], exists as discrete mol-ecules possessing a series of three Cp(2)Zr units (Cp is cyclo-penta-dien-yl) bridged by oxide ligands and end-capped by chloride ligands. The Cp planes in the central and terminal zirconocene units form dihedral angles of 53.3 (2) and 53.5 (2)°, respectively. The two Zr-O-Zr bridge angles are nearly linear and form a planar Zr₃O₂ co...

This study aimed to characterize Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates in 2 intensive care units in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. P. aeruginosa isolates from patients' and staff hands and environmental samples were typed using antibiotyping and ERIC-PCR. In Egypt, isolates from suction apparatus tubing and drainage containers (A7) and AV tubing (A8) were linked to those from patients who had these antibiot...

this paper presents a new bridge management system (j-bms). it is integrated with a concrete bridge rating expert system that can be used to evaluate the serviceability of existing concrete bridges. the proposed j-bms not only evaluates the performance of bridges, but also offers a rehabilitation strategy based on a combination of maintenance cost minimization and quality maximization. in this ...

In this paper, analysis of cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter in DTC-SVM (Direct Torque Control-Space Vector Modulation) based induction motor drive for FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) is presented. Cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter uses multiple series units of H-bridge power cells to achieve medium-voltage operation and low harmonic distortion. In FCEV, a fuel cell stack is used as t...

BACKGROUND Ureteral obstruction caused by extrinsic compression is often associated with intra-abdominal cancers. Internal drainage with ureteral stents is typically the first-line therapy to relieve such obstructions. Novel designs of ureteral stents made of different materials have been invented to achieve better drainage. In this study, we described the functional outcomes of a Resonance met...

a quasi experimental study was conducted in the labour rooms of one of the hospital's of the university of   medical science of iran, to compare the effect ofcord blood drainage and oxytocin injection into the umblicat   vein in the duration of the third stage of labour.   a total of 180 women in the course of normal pregnancies with no complications and normal vaginal   dd ivery were sele...
