The title compound, [Cu(2)(OH)(2)(C(6)H(16)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)](BF(4))(2), consists of dinuclear centrosymmetric [Cu(2)(OH)(2)(tmen)(2)(H(2)O)](2+) complex cations (tmen = N,N,N',N'-tetra-methyl-ethane-1,2-diamine) and tetra-fluoridoborate anions. In the cation, the Cu(II) atom shows a slightly distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry provided by a pair of μ-OH(-) anions and by the N atoms ...

The reactions o f M n(CF3COO)2 (1) with N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine (tmen), 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) and triethanolamine (tea) yield three new mononuclear coordination compounds: rra«5-[Mn(tmen)2(CF3COO)2] (2), cw-[Mn(bipy)2(C F3COO)2] (3), and [Mn(tea)2](CF3COO)2 (4). The X-ray structures o f the compounds 2, 3, and 4 are described. The seven-coordination o f the manganese(II) ion in 4,...

The Cyclic Voltammetric behaviour of copper(II)tetramethylethylenediamine systems with [Cu(II)]:[tmen]=1:10, 1:100 molar ratios, 1×10M Cu(ClO4)2.6H2O in aqueous 0.2M NaClO4 supporting electrolyte have been studied at pH5.0,6.50 7.20,9.10, 10.30, 10.85 and 11.20. The electrode process show quasi reversible one electron charge transfer preceded and followed by chemical reaction at glassy carbon e...

an experiment was conducted to predict the true metabolizable energy (tmen) of compounded starter feeds of broiler chickens trough their chemical composition using precision-feeding method of sibbald in male boilers. in the first, eight compounded feed samples provided from eight feed plants and their chemical composition determined in laboratory. results of chemical composition showed that ave...

The additivity of true amino acid digestibility (TAAD) and true metabolizable energy (TME) values in corn, soybean meal, and wheat red dog for White Pekin ducks was investigated. Differences between observed values for the complete diets and values predicted from measurements of individual ingredients were used to test additivity. Eight ducks were each assigned to the following dietary treatmen...

Over the last several decades, there has been a continuing debate between scientists and statisticians concerning appropriate techniques for elucidating the relationships among treatment means. To shed some light on this murky subject, the authors interviewed a scientist of world renown, Dr. Henri Hubris, Professor of Herpetology, Northeastern Central University. Dr. Hubris is widely revered am...

Understanding the true metabolizable energy (TME) of foods is critical to estimating the energetic carrying capacity of landscapes for migrating and wintering waterfowl.We estimated gross energy, nutrient composition, and TMEN (TME corrected for zero nitrogen balance) for 7 foods that are commonly found in the diet of American black duck (Anas rubripes) and other waterfowl wintering along the A...

Support vector regression (SVR) is used in this study to develop models to estimate apparent metabolizable energy (AME), AME corrected for nitrogen (AMEn), true metabolizable energy (TME), and TME corrected for nitrogen (TMEn) contents of corn fed to ducks based on its chemical composition. Performance of the SVR models was assessed by comparing their results with those of artificial neural net...
