A facile auto-combustion route is used for the synthesis of Gd(3+) (2, 5, 7 and 10 at%) co-doped CaMoO4:Eu nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction study suggests that as-prepared samples have extra impurity phases in addition to main tetragonal phase of CaMoO4, and such extra phases decrease as the annealing temperature increases from 600 to 900 °C. The crystal structure has been analysed using Rietve...

Five-branched gold nanostars are obtained using Triton X-100 in a seed-growth synthesis. They have the uncommon feature of two intense localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) in the 600-900 and 1100-1600 nm ranges. Both LSPRs convert laser radiation into heat, offering two photothermally active channels in the NIR and SWIR ranges.

PURPOSE To evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and biological activity of suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) administered by 2-h i.v. infusion in patients with advanced cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN SAHA was administered for 3 days every 21 days in part A and 5 days for 1-3 weeks in part B. Dose escalation proceeded independently in patients with solid tumor and hematological malignancie...

Measuring salivary cortisol is a simple, convenient and accurate technique with potential value in monitoring patients with hypercortisolism. This analysis reports changes in late-night salivary cortisol (LNSC) during a 12-month, multicentre, Phase III study of patients with Cushing's disease who were randomized to pasireotide 600 or 900 μg sc bid. LNSC assessment was an exploratory objective b...

This work determined the time necessary to stabilize the decrease in urinary N excretion after initiating continuous i.v. glucose infusion and the quantity of glucose required to maximize N balance in growing wether lambs fed a high-protein diet (21.1% CP, DM basis). In the first experiment, six wethers (30 kg) were used in a 10-d crossover design comparing jugular infusion of glucose (600 kcal...

The material presented here is a result of histological examination of the ovaries of 34 rats from the Wistar series, which were 900 days of age or older. Of this group, 20 were 900 days or slightly older, 10 were 1,000 days or slightly older, and 4 were 1,100 days or more old. For comparison, tissues of t5 female rats of this series ranging between 600 and 900 days, were examined. The animals ...

We have derived a gravity field solution in spherical harmonics to degree and order 900, GRGM900C, from the tracking data of the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) Primary (1 March to 29 May 2012) and Extended Missions (30 August to 14 December 2012). A power law constraint of 3.6 ×10-4/ℓ2 was applied only for degree ℓ greater than 600. The model produces global correlations of gr...

Although short-course, largely twice weekly chemotherapy for treatment of tuberculosis has been shown to be effective in other countries, when given under closely controlled conditions, it has not been adopted in this country where most patients are older and are treated as outpatients. Since January, 1976, 315 patients (mean age 55.5 years) with proven pulmonary tuberculosis have been treated ...

This study investigates the corrosion of AISI 441 in simulated anode conditions solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Several parameters such as temperature, humidity, surface condition, pre-oxidation temperature and environment, were investigated. Samples pre-oxidized at 800 ºC protective 550–900 ºC, while as-received samples showed behavior only 900 ºC. Additional exposures performed 600 revealed n...
