The structure of the electrochemically crystallized title compound, (C(10)H(8)S(8))(3)[CoCl(4)](2), consists of two types of bis-(ethyl-enedithio)tetra-thia-fulvalene (BEDT-TTF) radical cation stacks separated by sheets of tetra-hedral [CoCl(4)](2-) anions. One of the BEDT-TTF mol-ecules is generated by inversion. There are short S⋯S contacts between the stacks in the a direction and short C-H⋯...

OBJECTIVES We aimed to increase the bacterial cell killing efficacy of erythrosine-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) of Streptococcus mutans biofilms by fractionating the delivered light dose into a series of shorter pulses. METHODS S. mutans biofilms of 200 microm thickness were grown in a constant-depth film fermenter (CDFF). Biofilms were incubated with 22 microM erythrosine before being...

Whereas the rules underlying the perceived intensity of binary mixtures have been investigated, minimal efforts have been directed at elucidating the rules underlying the perceived pleasantness of such mixtures. To address this, 84 subjects ranked the pleasantness and intensity of 5 distinct binary mixtures (15 pairs, inter-stimulus interval = 4 s, inter-trial interval = 30 s, flow = 6 l/min, p...

We explore almost-normality in Isbell-Mr\'owka spaces and some related concepts. use forcing to provide an example of almost-normal not normal almost disjoint family, the concept semi-normality spaces, define strongly $(\aleph_0, <\mathfrak c)$-separated families prove generic existence completely separable c)$-almost assuming $\mathfrak s=\mathfrak c$ b=\mathfrak c$. also a Tychonoff pseudocom...

Stachys lavandulifolia Vahl is an herbaceous wild plant native to Iran which is traditionally used in Iranian folk medicine as a mild sedative tea for reducing anxiety and for treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. Our previous study on ethyl acetate extract of S. lavandulifolia proved anti-anxiolytic activity and so the present study was designed to determine chemical components of this biol...

By using the two-step activated swelling method, monodisperse porous poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) (P(S-DVB)) microparticles were successfully synthesized. The influence of porogens, swelling temperatures and crosslinking agents on the porosity of porous microparticles was carefully investigated. Porous P(S-DVB) microparticles were used as a packing material for high performance liquid chromatog...
