(2) The Assistant Secretary or equivalent for the office initiating the procurement for contracts awarded using the tradeoff process. The Assistant Secretary or equivalent may delegate th...

Electrophysiologic responses were recorded in vitro from the retina of the toad, Bufo marinus. In the isolated retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)-choroid preparation, a decrease in the K+ concentration outside the apical membrane evoked a sequence of trans-epithelial (TEP) and membrane potential changes. A hyperpolarization originating at the RPE apical membrane that increased the TEP was followe...

Suspended particles and particle aggregates, which formed from concentrated field samples on the roller table, were characterized biologically and chemically along a transect through the Baltic Sea in summer 1999. Phytoplankton composition in field samples was dominated by cyanobacteria, including the filamentous diazotrophic cyanobacteria Aphanizomenon ‘ baltica’, Nodularia spumigena and Anaba...

While limnological studies have emphasized the importance of grazers on algal biomass and primary production in pelagic habitats, few studies have examined their potential role in altering total ecosystem primary production and it's partitioning between pelagic and benthic habitats. We modified an existing ecosystem production model to include biotic feedbacks associated with two groups of larg...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of complications in the immediate postoperative period following primary tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) after salvage laryngectomy. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective. METHODS A retrospective review was done of 26 patients who underwent primary TEP with salvage total laryngectomy. To minimize variables, the patients include...

Tropical transpacific fishes occur on both sides of the world’s largest deep-water barrier to the migration of marine shore organisms, the 4,000to 7,000-km-wide Eastern Pacific Barrier (EPB). They include 64 epipelagic oceanic species and 126 species of shore fishes known from both the tropical eastern Pacific (TEP) and the central and West Pacific. The broad distributions of 19 of 39 circumglo...

IN THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE TITLE COMPOUND (SYSTEMATIC NAME: triethyl-ammonium 2,5-dichloro-4-hy-droxy-3,6-dioxo-cyclo-hexa-1,4-dien-1-olate), C(6)H(16)N(+)·C(6)HCl(2)O(4) (-), two hydrogen chloranilate anions are connected by a pair of bifurcated O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a dimeric unit. The triethyl-ammonium cations are linked on both sides of the dimer via bifurcated N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(6)H(16)N(+)·C(3)H(2)N(3)S(3) (-), contains two independent ion pairs. The 2,4,6-trithioxo-1,3,5-triazinan-1-ide anion features an almost planar six-membered ring (r.m.s. deviations = 0.009 and 0.018 Å) having exocyclic double-bond S atoms. The anions inter-act by N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds to generate a chain running along [110]. The triethyl-ammonium cati...

The title 20-crown-6 unit, C(28)H(30)Br(2)O(6)·CH(2)Cl(2), consisting of three benzo groups and triethyl-ene glycol was prepared from the reaction of 1,2,4,5-tetra-kis-(bromo-meth-yl)benzene and bis-phenol in the presence of sodium hydride. In the crystal, one O atom of the central ethyl-ene glycol in the triethyl-ene glycol unit exhibits an exo conformation as a result of intra-molecular C-H⋯O...
