In the mononuclear title compound, [Cu(II)(C(18)H(12)N(2)O(2))(C(5)H(5)N)], the Cu(II) ion is coordinated by two O atoms and one N atom from the dianionic tridentate L(2-) ligand (H(2)L is 2-hy-droxy-1-naphthaldehyde benzoyl-hydrazide) and one N atom from a pyridine mol-ecule in a CuN(2)O(2) distorted square-planar coordination environment.

I love you, I love you, always. Hut not alone, cigar smoking executive burned my eyes open as assembly-line statistics flash on his distorted mohair suit; a better idea cun never be.,., until.... a housewife starlet bitches her automatic washer under eyes of the plastic-wax grapefruit who winks at the grapes wondering when they will become bio-dcgradeable and the lemon wax will wear off them in...

A new organic-inorganic two-dimensional hybrid compound, [CuMoO(4)(C(2)H(8)N(2))], has been hydro-thermally synthesized at 443 K. The unit cell contains layers composed of CuN(2)O(4) octa-hedra and MoO(4) tetra-hedra. Corner-sharing MoO(4) and CuN(2)O(4) polyhedra form CuMoO(4) bimetallic sites that are joined together through O atoms, forming an edge-sharing Cu(2)Mo(2)O(4) chain along the c ax...

Communication based on informational asymmetries abounds in politics, business, and almost any other form of social interaction. Informational asymmetries may create incentives for the better-informed party to exploit her advantage by misrepresenting information. Using a game-theoretic setting, we investigate the neural basis of deception in human interaction. Unlike in most previous fMRI resea...

The problem of network bundwidth limitutions is encountered in ulmost uny distributed virtuul environment or networkedgume. In U typicul client-server setup, where the virtuul world is munuged by U server and replicated by connected clients which visualize the scene, the server must repeatedly trunsmit updute messuges to the clients. By employing visibility informution, the number of messages t...

In the monomeric title complex, [Cu(C(4)H(5)O(2))(2)(C(8)H(11)N)(2)], the Cu(II) atom lies on a centre of inversion. Its coordination by two substituted pyridine ligands and two carboxyl-ate anions leads to a slightly distorted trans-CuN(2)O(2) square-planar geometry. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the pyridine (py) ring and the carboxyl-ate group is 74.71 (7)°. The dihedral angl...

Drinking water reservoir plays a vital role in the security of urban water supply, yet little is known about microbial community diversity harbored in the sediment of this oligotrophic freshwater environmental ecosystem. In the present study, integrating community level physiological profiles (CLPPs), nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and clon...
