ESI-MS based methodology for the rapid reactivity screening of [PW(11)O(39)RhCl](5-) and [PW(11)O(39)Ir(H(2)O)](4-) toward various metalation-intended substrates (reagents with an activated C-H bond, boronic acids and organotin compounds) is presented. Formation of a series of new organometallic POM derivatives with Rh-R (R = malonate, phenylacetate, CH(3), Ph, ferrocenyl) and Ir-R (R = CH(3)) ...

This document specifies how signaling and selection processes for Pseudowire (PW) Virtual Circuit Connectivity Verification (VCCV) are modified to ensure backward compatibility and allow use of proactive Connectivity Verification (CV), Continuity Check (CC), and Remote Defect Indication (RDI) over MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) PWs. This document introduces four new CV types and, to accommoda...

The objectives of this study were to estimate response to divergent selection for an index of placental efficiency in swine, and to evaluate the effect of placental efficiency on litter size. The selection index (SI) included total born (TB), birth weight (BRWT), and placental weight (PW), and was designed to increase in the high line (H) or decrease in the low line (L) the efficiency of the pl...

In hep-th/0004063 Pilch and Warner (PW) constructed N = 2 supersymmetric RG flow corresponding to the mass deformation of the N = 4 SU(N) Yang-Mills theory. In this paper we present exact deformations of PW flow when the gauge theory 3-space is compactified on S 3. We consider also the case with the gauge theory world-volume being dS 4 instead of R 3,1. The solution is constructed in five-dimen...

DABS (B); 7T BOLD images using DABS at 3 mm isotropic resolution (C) and 1.5x1.5x3 mm (D). 3T perfusion weighted (PW) images at 3 mm isotropic resolution using standard FAIR (E) and with DABS (F); 7T PW images DABS 3 mm isotropic resolution (G) and 1.5x1.5x3 mm (H). All images have overlaid activated regions. Double Acquisition Background Suppressed (DABS) FAIR at 3T and 7T: advantages for simu...

LSP-Ping is a widely deployed Operation, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) mechanism in MPLS networks. However, in the present form, this mechanism is inadequate to verify connectivity of a segment of a Multi-Segment Pseudowire (MS-PW) and/or bidirectional co-routed Label Switched Path (LSP) from any node on the path of the MS-PW and/or bidirectional co-routed LSP. This document defines a T...

Prader-Willi syndrome (PW) is a rare genetic disorder with multi-organ system involvement. These patients present many perioperative challenges including sleep-related breathing disorders, morbid obesity, thick salivary secretions, mental retardation, and difficult intravenous access. PW has been suggested to be associated with central adrenal insufficiency. We report a novel case of persistent...

Pesticides associated to genetically modified foods (PAGMF), are engineered to tolerate herbicides such as glyphosate (GLYP) and gluphosinate (GLUF) or insecticides such as the bacterial toxin bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between maternal and fetal exposure, and to determine exposure levels of GLYP and its metabolite aminomethyl phosphoric a...

This letter presents a variant of cloud radio access network (C-RAN) architecture, which we term partly wireless C-RAN (PW-CRAN). It is characterized by extra radio nodes connected through the existing remote radio heads (RRHs). Because of the newly connected nodes and the consequent additional delay, the operation of PW-CRAN requires different approaches compared to that of the typical C-RAN. ...

The validity of various electrocardiographic P wave measurements was tested in 48 patients by comparing them to left atrial dimensions determined by echocardiography (echo), a proved method of left atrial size estimation. Of all the measurements considered, only the width of the P wave (PW), the P terminal force in lead V1 (PV1), and the PW/PR segment ratio (PW/PR) showed statistically signific...
