In the crystal structure of the title compound, [KV(C(10)H(13)N(2)O(8))O(H(2)O)(3)](n), the V(IV) ion adopts a distorted octa-hedral geometry, coordinated by one oxide group, two N and three carboxylate O atoms from the same N'-carboxy-methyl-ethyl-ene-diamine-N,N,N'-triacetate (HEDTA) ligand. The potassium ion is hepta-coordinated by two water mol-ecules, two bridging water mol-ecules and thre...

This paper presents a study on exploiting semiconductor memory to upgrade the service capacity of video on-demand playback systems. The basic idea behind exploiting semiconductor memory is that, if we can relay the data of highly frequently accessed programmes from one access request to another, then we can upgrade the service capacity of the system without requiring higher disk bandwidth. As t...

A 13 year old boy was referred to the oral and maxillofacial Clinic for an 8 month history of sublingual swelling. The father of the boy stated that the swelling noticed for few months as painless slowly growing mass under his tongue and below his chin. In meanwhile, the patient denied any other symptoms. Physical examination showed a soft, compressible midline sublingual and submental swelling...

Rough speaking, information theory deals with data transmitted over a channel such as the internet. Modern information theory is generally considered to have been founded in 1948 by Shannon in his seminal paper, “A mathematical theory of communication.” Shannon’s formulation of information theory was an immediate success with communications engineers. Shannon defined mathematically the amount o...

The issue of natural order in acquiring some morphemes in English has been a controversial one in psycholinguistics and applied linguistics. This article seeks to test Krashen’s Natural Order Hypothesis employing the Competition Model among two age groups of pre-adolescent and adult age in an EFL setting. Research on this issue has been mostly conducted in ESL settings and the results have been...

In the treatment of complex paraclinoidal and giant cavernous aneurysms, preservation of the patency of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is not always possible, and therapeutic occlusion of the carotid is still an important option for their management. A complete preoperative evaluation of the carotid reserve circulation, including the use of temporary balloon occlusion test and single photon ...

Advances in our understanding of angiogenesis and blood vessel growth have given rise to efforts to develop novel therapeutic approaches for patients with ischaemia who are not adequately treated with presently available therapies. Among the growth factors that play a role in blood vessel growth and development, vascular endothelial growth factors and fibroblast growth factors have been the mos...
