We study a dynamic labeling problem for points on a line that is closely related to labeling of zoomable maps. Typically, labels have a constant size on screen, which means that, as the scale of the map decreases during zooming, the labels grow relatively to the set of points, and conflicts may occur due to overlapping labels. Our algorithmic problem is a combined dynamic selection and placemen...

In Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica), previous studies indicated that the distribution of reduced nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) diaphorase overlaps with steroid-sensitive areas that contain dense populations of aromatase-immunoreactive (ARO-ir) cells. We investigated here the anatomical relationships between aromatase (ARO) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-containing cells that we...

The easy-to-prepare Nb(V) aryloxide complex [(ArO)2Nb(μ-Cl)Cl2]2 (OAr = 2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-tert-butylphenoxide) is a precursor to both Nb(IV), [trans-(ArO)2NbCl2(THF)2], and Nb(III), K3[(ArO)4Nb2(μ-Cl)3Cl2], molecules. The Nb(IV) and (V) complexes readily split atmospheric nitrogen at room temperature and 1 atmosphere, under reducing conditions, to produce the low-coordinate nitride dime...

Pathogenic sequence variants in the Sorting Nexin 10 (SNX10) gene have been associated with autosomal recessive osteopetrosis (ARO) in human. In this study, an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line (ARO-iPSC1-11) was generated from an ARO patient carrying the homozygous c.212+1G>T mutation in SNX10, using a retroviral-based reprogramming protocol. Characterization confirmed that the generat...

The high-resolution photoelectron spectrum of ArO(-) was obtained using slow electron velocity-map imaging (SEVI). The SEVI spectrum reveals well-resolved vibrational transitions between multiple electronic states of ArO(-) and ArO, both of which are open-shell species. These transitions occur within the broad envelope of previous lower resolution photoelectron spectra. Detailed assignments are...

The new neopentyl (Neop)-substituted tris(aryloxide) U(III) complex [(((Neop,Me)ArO)(3)tacn)U(III)] reacts with CO(2) to form CO and the bridging carbonate complex [{(((Neop,Me)ArO)(3)tacn)U(IV)}(2)(μ-CO(3))]. The uranium(IV) bridging oxo [{(((Neop,Me)ArO)(3)tacn)U(IV)}(2)(μ-O)] has been determined to be the intermediate in this reaction. For the first time, both U(iv) complexes can be reduced ...

BACKGROUND Patient-reported scoring systems have recently been used after surgical procedures. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the patient-reported outcomes of femoral osteotomy and total hip arthroplasty (THA) for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). METHODS Forty-two symptomatic ONFH patients with asymptomatic contralateral hip underwent either transtrochanteric a...

In this research, a novel optimized Proportional-Derivative with Proportional-Integral-Derivative-Acceleration (PD-PIDA) driven static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is proposed the goal of improving frequency performance power systems through manipulation reactive power. When there variation in load or when failure generation, presented controller able to maintain system within allowable li...
