Transient, broadband infra-red absorption spectroscopy with picosecond time resolution has been used to study the dynamics of reactions of CN radicals with tetrahydrofuran (THF) and d8-THF in liquid solutions ranging from neat THF to 0.5 M THF in chlorinated solvents (CDCl3 and CD2Cl2). HCN and DCN products were monitored via their v1 (CRN stretching) and v3 (C H(D) stretching) vibrational abso...

BACKGROUND We aimed to create a novel modified score by combining anatomic and hemodynamic Doppler-echocardiographic measures for selection of suitable patients with mitral stenosis for percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) and its impact in prediction of outcome. METHODS 262 consecutive patients candidate for PBMV were enrolled. Wilkins score and a global score based on anatomical...

The porosity and hydrogen storage properties of the dehydrated Prussian blue type solids Ga[Co(CN)6], Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3, M2[Fe(CN)6] (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu), and Co3[Co(CN)5]2 are reported and compared to those of M3[Co(CN)6]2 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn). Nitrogen sorption measurements suggest partial framework collapse for M2[Fe(CN)6] (M = Co, Ni) and Co3[Co(CN)5]2, and complete collapse for Mn2[Fe(...

Cranial nerve (CN) anomalies have been regarded as a major criterion for a clinical diagnosis of CHARGE syndrome for some time. However, there have been relatively few studies of the extent of this involvement. A detailed questionnaire (in French or English) was distributed to all physicians who participated in the 2001-2004 Canadian Paediatric Surveillance Program (CPSP), and who identified th...

The paper elaborates methodological basis of collaborative networks (CN) complex adaptation. We consider challenges and underlying principles of the CN complex adaptation. Subsequently, the DIMA-methodology of the integrated CN modeling is considered. The paper ends with the presentation of the fivelevel CN complex adaptation concept and summarizing DIMA-methodology application in the CN comple...

We consider the upper bounds of the finite block length capacity Cn,FB(P ) of the discrete time Gaussian channel with feedback. We prove the refinements of relations Cn(P ) ≤ Cn,FB(P ) ≤ Cn(P ) + 1 2 and Cn(P ) ≤ Cn,FB(P ) ≤ 2Cn(P ), which are given by Cover and Pombra. And we prove the relation C2(P ) ≤ C2,FB(P ) < C2(2P ), which is a partial solution of the conjecture given by Cover.

The aims of this study were to investigate potential functional relationships among milk protein fractions in dairy cattle and carry out a structural equation model (SEM) GWAS provide decomposition total SNP effects into direct mediated by traits that are upstream phenotypic network. To achieve these aims, we first fitted mixed Bayesian multitrait genomic infer the correlations 6 nitrogen [4 ca...
