The title compound, [Cu(C(9)H(6)N(3)O(2))(OH)(H(2)O)(2)](n), adopts a chain motif along [010] in which the Cu(II) atoms are bridged by hy-droxy groups and 4-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)benzoate (tab) ligands. The Cu(II) atom lies on an inversion center and is six-coordinated by two N atoms from two tab ligands, two hy-droxy groups and two water mol-ecules, giving a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The h...

Force/distance curves for silicon nitride tip/flat silica or alumina coated by a layer of mixed micelles of cationic/anionic surfactant are measured by using AFM. Mixtures of SDS/C(n)TAB (with molecular ratios of 3:1 and 20:1) and C(n)TAB/SDS (with molecular ratio of 85:15) were used for alumina and silica substrates, respectively. The number of carbon atoms per C(n)TAB molecule, n, was in the ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between temporal artery biopsy (TAB) length and the diagnostic sensitivity for giant cell arteritis (GCA). METHODS TAB pathology reports were reviewed for histological findings and formalin-fixed TAB lengths. The patient's charts were reviewed for clinical data. TAB was considered positive if there was a mononuclear cell infiltrate in the vessel wall....

Fehlergrenzen verschieden. K L O T S zeigte, daß ein „loser" aktivierter Komplex größere kinetische Energie ergibt. Dies, bei der sonstigen Ähnlichkeit der beiden Zerfälle, würde aber ein größeres Ez für Masse 71 erwarten lassen. Daß es in Wirklichkeit umgekehrt ist, wird auf die bei der Bildung von C 2 H c freigesetzte Energie zurückgeführt. Sie sollte zwar vorwiegend als Schwingungsenergie er...

Abstract The atomic structure, interface stability and electronic interaction of TaB 2 (0001)/SiC(111) interfaces were investigated by first principles calculation. study found that the termination atom stacking position are key factors affecting bonding strength interface. On basis considering work adhesion ( W ad ) interfacial energy γ int ), Ta–TaB /C–SiC center-site stacked (Ta–CS–C) B–TaB ...

Reactions of TabHPF(6) (Tab = 4-(trimethylammonio)benzenethiolate) with three equiv. of M(OAc)(2)·2H(2)O (M = Zn, Cd) gave rise to two tetranuclear adamantane-like compounds, [M(4)(μ-Tab)(6)(Tab)(4)](PF(6))(8)·S (·S: M = Zn, S = DMF·4H(2)O; ·S: M = Cd, S = DMF·5H(2)O). The similar reactions of MCl(2) (M = Zn, Cd, Hg) with four equiv. of TabHPF(6) in the presence of Et(3)N afforded three mononuc...

BACKGROUND Giant cell arteritis (GCA) has the potential to cause irreversible blindness and stroke in affected patients [1-4]. Temporal artery biopsy (TAB) remains the gold standard test for GCA [6-8]. Recent literature suggests that TAB does not change management of patients with suspected GCA and that ultrasound scan (USS) may be sufficient enough alone to confirm the diagnosis [9-11,13]. The...
