The twoand three-dimensional ~2D and 3D! versions of ALEGRA-HEDP @A. C. Robinson and C. J. Garasi, ‘‘Three-dimensional Z-pinch wire array modeling,’’ Computer Physics Communications, submitted# have been utilized to simulate discrete wire effects including precursor formation in 2D (r-u plane! and nonuniform axial ablation ~3D!. Comparisons made between 2D and 3D simulations indicate that 2D si...

Complexes containing a Ru(2)(n+) core (n = 4, 5 or 6) have been of great interest because of their variety of electronic configurations and magnetic properties. Herein, we report a novel homovalent Ru(2)(6+)-based complex, (H(2)pip)(2)[Ru(2)(hedp)(2)Cl(2)]·6H(2)O (pip = piperazine) (1), isolated by the direct reaction of the mixed-valent Ru(2)(5+)-based anion Ru(2)(hedp)(2)(3-) [hedp = 1-hydrox...

In order to test the effect of diphosphonates in inhibiting bone lysis induced by human tumors, neonatal mouse calvaria are cultured in sterile conditions in different media. Osteolysis is estimated by the amount of 45Ca released from bone to medium, the mice being given injections of 45Ca on their day of birth. An increased bone lysis is observed when calvaria are incubated in the same medium ...

In an attempt to develop a quantitative method of evaluating rheumatoid arthritic activity, Tc-99m HEDP joint uptake values and joint-to-bone ratios were studied in ten adult rheumatoid arthritic patients and 17 nonarthritic patients. A joint-to-bone activity ratio of 1.8 at the fourth hour after injection (RA Index) discriminated clinically active rheumatoid arthritic joints from control joint...

Copper(II) salts have long been used to kill algae in water systems, but they can precipitate as insoluble salts and form deposits on equipment surface. It is important to remove toxic metal from industrial waste because of contamination and toxicity issues. This paper discusses the testing and effects of various phosphonates to control copper-based fouling in the industrial water systems. It h...
