The Conformational stability and barriers of interconversion between the eis and gauche conformers of vinyldichlorosilane, CH2CHSiHCl2, have been studied using ab initio calculations employing the RHF/3-21G* and RHF/6-31G* basis sets. The eis conformer was found to be more stable than the gauche one by 45 cm" (539 J/mol) and 140 cm" (1.68 kJ/mol) from the RHF/3-21G* and RHF/6-31G* basis sets, r...

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a unique non-destructive technique employed to analyze various devices in different energy storage applications. It characterizes materials and interfaces for their properties heterogeneous systems employing equivalent circuits as models. So far, it has been used the performance of photovoltaic cells, fuel batteries, other devices, through circuit...

The emergence of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) tuberculosis (TB) is a serious global threat. Aminoglycoside antibiotics are used as a last resort to treat XDR-TB. Resistance to the aminoglycoside kanamycin is a hallmark of XDR-TB. Here, we reveal the function and structure of the mycobacterial protein Eis responsible for resistance to kanamycin in a significant fracti...

The main objective of the current paper is to show that electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) could be a method for evaluating and predicting of ProTaper rotary file system clinical lifespan. This particular aspect of everyday use of the endodontic files is of great importance in each dental practice and has profound clinical implications. The method used for quantification resides in th...

Executive information systems (EIS) are the most-recent computer-based information systems to have emerged with the intention of providing executives with the information they require to run their businesses. Some advocates of these systems see them as a panaceathe long-awaited moment when computing will provide meaningful and significant assistance to top management. However, others have ques...

Enterprise information systems (EIS) development raises specific challenges related to the scale and complexity of the business processes that must be supported. Techniques for managing the challenges of scale and complexity are often based on modelling, and are targeted at different parts of the EIS development process. This paper presents the results of an evaluation (based on EIS for health ...

We designed a novel 6-point electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) sensor with 15 combinations of permutations for the 3-D mapping and detection of metabolically active atherosclerotic lesions. Two rows of 3 stretchable electrodes circumferentially separated by 120° were mounted on an inflatable balloon for intravascular deployment and endoluminal interrogation. The configuration and 15 p...

For retired automotive lithium-ion batteries, state of health (SoH) is currently utilised to grade them for a second-life application. However, researchers previously challenged this and expressed that, in addition SoH, the actual degradation mechanism, also known as mode (DM), should be considered grading, efficient operation. To date, there little evidence support this. A validated DM detecti...

OBJECTIVES Specialist early intervention services (EIS) for people aged 14-35 years with first episodes of psychosis (FEP) have been commissioned throughout England since 2001. A single estimate of population need was used everywhere, but true incidence varies enormously according to sociodemographic factors. We sought to develop a realistically complex, population-based prediction tool for FEP...
