Perchloryl derivatives, especially aromatic ones have some explosive character and decompose explosively when they are initiated. In the present study, ortho, meta para nitro isomers of perchlorylbenzene been considered within framework density functional theory at level B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p). The results indicated that electronically stable such isomer is more than others whereas ortho least all...

OBJECTIVE To assess the shear bond strength of metallic orthodontic brackets bonded with either Fuji Ortho or Ortho Glass LC resin-reinforced glass ionomer cements to enamel surfaces under different conditions, namely, enamel without etching, enamel conditioned with 37% phosphoric acid and enamel conditioned with Transbond Plus Self Etching Primer (TPSEP). MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred an...

Ortho-photos provide valuable spatial and spectral information for various GIS and mapping applications. The absence of relief displacement and the uniform scale in ortho-photos enable interested users to measure distances, compute areas, derive geographic locations, and quantify changes. Differential rectification has traditionally been used for ortho-photo generation. However, differential re...

The sensitivity and specificity of two third-generation screening tests for the detection of antibody to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) was evaluated in a side-by-side study (Abbott HCV EIA 3.0/Ortho HCV ELISA 3.0). Specimens that were reactive in either ELISA were then retested by the other ELISA, and confirmed by RIBA-3. The screening of 15,540 serum samples from healthy blood donors showed a s...

Based on an Atoms-in-Molecules (AIM) analysis, Matta et al. recently claimed evidence for the existence of hydrogen-hydrogen bonding between ortho-hydrogen atoms, pointing towards each other from adjacent phenyl groups in planar biphenyl. This AIM result is opposed to the classical view that nonbonded steric repulsion between the ortho-hydrogen atoms is responsible for the higher energy of the ...

The H+3 ion plays a key role in the chemistry of dense interstellar gas clouds where stars and planets are forming. The low temperatures and high extinctions of such clouds make direct observations of H+3 impossible, but lead to large abundances of H2D + and D2H, which are very useful probes of the early stages of star and planet formation. The ground-state rotational ortho-D2H 11,1–00,0 transi...

Quadrupolar Glass State in para-hydrogen and ortho-deuterium under pressure. The main features of the possible quadrupolar glass state in ortho-deuterium and para-hydrogen under high pressure are predicted and considered in replica-symmetric approximation in analogy with glassy behavior of diluted ortho-hydrogen at low pressures. The quadrupolar model with J = 2 is suggested. The orientational ...

This paper describes a new second-generation-type lossy image compression scheme using wavelets for aerial ortho images. For map applications where some losses are allowed, aerial ortho images present a possibility of having a very high compression ratio, because they are natural images with many uniform (coherent) subregions. However classical compression schemes such as the joint-photograph e...

We present quantum close-coupling calculations for the rotational excitation of the interstellar amidogen radical NH2 due to collisions with H2 molecules. The calculations are based on a recent, high-accuracy full-dimensional NH4 potential energy surface adapted for rigid-rotor scattering calculations. The collisional cross section calculations are performed for all transitions among the first ...

A new series of 2-(ortho & para substituted phenoxy)1-(3-(3-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)-5-(substituted phenyl)-4,5dihydropyrazol-1-yl)ethanone were synthesized. Ortho and para substituted phenol was refluxed with ethylchloroacetate in dry acetone in presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate to yield ethyl (ortho & para substituted phenoxy) acetate (1). The substituted ester on reaction with hydrazi...
