The high-arctic Ivory Gull (Pagophila eburnea) has recently undergone a sharp decline in numbers, and in Canada it is listed as "Endangered" under the Species-At-Risk Act. To test for circumpolar genetic distinctiveness, we examined 264 bp of the mtDNA Control Region Domain I from 127 museum specimens collected during the breeding season from northern Canada, Greenland, and Norway, and during t...

The asymmetric unit of the title triangulo-triruthenium compound, 2[Ru(3)(C(25)H(22)As(2))(C(21)H(21)AsO(3))(CO)(9)]·CH(2)Cl(2), contains one triangulo-triruthenium complex mol-ecule and one half of the dichloro-methane solvent. The dichloro-methane solvent lies across a crystallographic inversion center leading to the mol-ecule being disordered over two positions of equal occupancy. The bis-(d...

The large and continuous increase in India's urban population and the concomitant growth of the population residing in slums has resulted in overstraining of infrastructure and deterioration in public health. The link between urbanization, a degraded environment, inaccessibility to healthcare and a deteriorating quality of life is significant and particularly evident in the sharp inequities in ...

One of the management measures to reduce tax liabilities is non-payment of taxes through tax fraud. Because personality factors may play a role in explaining tax ethics, examining personality traits and aspects of tax fraud can help to better understand the factors that influence tax decisions. The main purpose of this study is to provide a model for detecting tax fraud based on the personality...

The sharp decline in the once-stellar performance of East Asian corporations following the 1997 financial crisis has sparked an intense debate. Some observers argue that external shocks, including a drop in aggregate demand and a shortage of working capital, explain the corporate sector’s poor performance. Others assert that the difficulties were apparent well before the crisis and that the ris...

The species status of Hyphydrus anatolicus Guignot, 1957 and H. sanctus Sharp, 1882, previously often confused with the widespread H. ovatus (Linnaeus, 1760), are tested with molecular and morphological characters. Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) was sequenced for 32 specimens of all three species. Gene-trees were inferred with parsimony, time-free bayesian and strict clock bayesian analys...

The asymmetric unit of the title triangulo-triruthenium compound, [Ru(3)(C(25)H(22)As(2))(C(18)H(14)BrP)(CO)(9)]·0.3CHCl(3), contains one mol-ecule of the triangulo-triruthenium complex and one partially occupied disordered chloro-form solvent mol-ecule. The bis-(diphenyl-arsino)methane ligand bridges an Ru-Ru bond and the monodentate phosphine ligand bonds to the third Ru atom. Both the arsine...

The asymmetric unit of the title triangulo-triruthenium compound, [Ru(3)(C(25)H(22)As(2))(C(20)H(19)O(2)P)(CO)(9)]·0.15CH(2)Cl(2), contains one mol-ecule of the triangulo-triruthenium complex and one partially occupied dichloro-methane solvent mol-ecule. The dichloro-methane solvent lies across a crystallographic inversion center leading to the mol-ecule being disordered over two positions of e...
