The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(15)H(15)N(2))[Ni(C(6)H(4)S(2))(2)], contains half each of two independent centrosymmetric anions and a single cation in a general position. The Ni(III) ions are coordinated by four S atoms in a square-planar geometry. The anions exhibit two packing modes, viz. stacked along the a axis in a face-to-face fashion with an alternate arrangement of anions...

Shulgina et al reported the effects of co-trimoxazole on outcomes in fibrotic idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP). We have some concerns about their conclusions and the emphasis of their findings. With nearly half (43%) of subjects taking ≥10 mg of prednisolone daily, a dose that increases infection risk, and over 30% taking a steroid-sparing agent, a valid alternate explanation for their r...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(17)H(15)NO(4), contains two independent mol-ecules with similar geometric parameters. In both mol-ecules, the conformation of the cyclo-hexene ring is half-chair, while the pyrrolidinone ring adopts an envelope conformation with the γ-carbon atom of the α-pyrrolidinone ring as the flap. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carb-oxylic and...

The first aim of this article is to give information about the algebraic properties alternate bases β=(β0,…,βp−1) determining sofic systems. We show that a necessary condition product δ=∏i=0p−1βi an integer and all β0,…,βp−1 belong field Q(δ). On other hand, we also sufficient condition: if δ Pisot number β0,…,βp−1∈Q(δ), then system associated with base sofic. second paper provide analogy Froug...

Th incidence and severity of posterior subcapsular cataracts were studied in 58 children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome. Eight (14%) children had cataracts. Visual acuity was normal in all but one child. There was no relationship between total dose or mean daily dose of prednisolone (corrected for body surface area) and cataract formation. Alternate-day treatment with prednisolone fo...

This paper revisits the Lucas paradox by quantifying empirically the relevance of a specific set of policies — restrictions on international capital flows — in shaping the patterns of capital movements at various stages of economic development. The determinants of the direction of capital flows, and their relation to economic development, constitute an important topic in open economy macroecono...
