The crystal structure of the title compound, [Rb(C(12)H(24)O(6))](3)[Sb(7)]·4NH(3), fills the gap between the already known Zintl anion ammoniates {[Cs(18-crown-6)](3)Sb(7)}(2)·9NH(3) [Wiesler (2007 ▶). Dissertation, Universität Regensburg, Germany] and [K(18-crown-6)](3)Sb(7)·4NH(3) [Hanauer (2007 ▶). Dissertation, Universität Regensburg, Germany]. As in the two known compounds, the anti-mony ...

In this article, a six-component self-sorting process that involves three types of crown ether macrocycle and three types of cation guest molecule was carefully and thoroughly investigated. The six components include three kinds of crown ether, namely bis(p-phenylene-34-crown-10) (BPP34C10), dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8) and benzo-21-crown-7 (B21C7), and their corresponding cation guest molecules...

The aim of this case report was to describe the surgical sequence of crown lengthening to apically reposition the dentogingival complex, in addition to an esthetic restorative procedure. Many different causes can be responsible for short clinical crown. In these cases, the correct execution of a restorative or prosthetic rehabilitation requires an increasing of the crown length. According to th...

this study compared tear function tests and cytologic changes on the conjunctival surface in asymptomatic patients wearing contact lens of different materials. included in this study were 40 eyes wearing daily wear 4 week replacement hydrogel (h) lenses, 32 eyes wearing silicone hydrogel (sih) lenses, 18 eyes wearing rigid gas-permeable (rgp) lenses, and 21 healthy eyes (no lenses) as the contr...

In the title compound, C46H50O12·2CH2Cl2, each dual 20-crown-6 unit crystallizes with two di-chloro-methane solvent mol-ecules. The crown unit mol-ecule lies about an inversion centre located at the central benzene ring. The two crown ring groups adopt an anti conformation, stabilized by weak intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions. In the crystal, the crown unit mol-ecules and the solvent mol-ecul...

Just prior to the emergence of the tooth into the oral cavity, a small circular crater forms in the gingival epithelium immediately above the crown. The craters appear to expand in diameter during eruption to accommodate the emerging crown of the tooth. The observations support the concept that the crown of the tooth does not actively push through and rupture the gingival epithelium, but rather...

Alkali metal triphenylsilyls [Li(12-crown-4)SiPh3]·(thf)0.5 (2), [Na(15-crown-5)SiPh3]·(thf)0.5 (3) and [K(18-crown-6)SiPh3(thf)] (4) were synthesized using 1,1,1-trimethyl-2,2,2-triphenyldisilane (Ph3SiSiMe3) and isolated in high yields. Solid state structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. These alkali metal silyls catalyzed the regioselective hydrosilylation of 1,1-diph...

BACKGROUND Wearing uniforms help in the formation of professional identity in healthcare. It fosters a strong self image and professional identity which can lead to good confidence and better performance in nursing practice. However, most nurses in Ethiopia are not wearing nursing uniforms and the reasons remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of this research is to assess nurse uniform wearing pra...
