Metal complexes of a heterocyclic sulfonamides possessing very strong carbonic anhydrase (CA) inhibitory properties, i.e., 5-(p-fluorobenzenesulfonylamido)-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide (p-fluorobenzolamide) were prepared. The new complexes contained metal ions such as Zn(II), Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cd(II) and Mn(II). The new compounds were characterized by standard physico-chemical procedur...

EPA is promulgating a significant new use rule (SNUR) under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for elemental mercury use in barometers, manometers, hygrometers, and psychrometers. This action will require persons who intend to manufacture (including import) or process elemental mercury for an activity that is designated as a significant new use by this final rule to notify EPA at least 90 ...

Abstract Background Dipping of blood pressure (BP) at night is a normal physiological phenomenon. However, non-dipping pattern associated with hypertension mediated organ damage, secondary forms and poorer long-term outcome. Identifying may be useful in assessing risk, aiding the decision to investigate for causes, initiating treatment, assisting decisions on choice timing anti-hypertensive the...

Box 1700, STN CSC, Victoria, B.C., Canada V8W 2Y2; e-mail: [email protected]; FAX: (250) 721-6214 Abstract We derive saddlepoint approximations for the density and distribution functions of the half-life estimated by OLS from an AR(1) or AR(p) model. Our analytic results are used to prove that none of the integer-order m...

The existence of solution for the 2D-Keller-Segel system in the subcritical case, i.e. when the initial mass is less than 8π , is reproved. Instead of using the entropy in the free energy and free energy dissipation, which was used in the proofs (Blanchet et al. in SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 46:691–721, 2008; Electron. J. Differ. Equ. Conf. 44:32, 2006 (electronic)), the potential energy term is full...
