In the title compound, [Nd(2)(C(6)H(3)BrNO(2))(6)(H(2)O)(4)]·2H(2)O, the Nd(III) ion is coordinated by nine O atoms from one chelating 5-bromo-nicotinate ligand, four bridging 5-bromo-nicotinate ligands and two water mol-ecules, exhibiting a distorted three-capped triangular-prismatic geometry. Two Nd(III) ions are bridged by four carboxyl-ate groups in bi- and tridentate modes, forming a centr...

Fibroin is normally composed of one H chain (350 kd) and one L chain (25 kd) which are connected by disulfide bond(s). However, the small amount of fibroin secreted into the lumen of the posterior silk gland of the Nd(2) (naked pupa) mutant does not contain L chain, although L chain mRNA is present and L chain is synthesized in the posterior silk gland cells of the mutant. In a hybrid silkworm,...

The original recursions for A2(d) ≡ nd(ψ̃, H) and B1(d1, d2) ≡ nd1d2(|;H2) do not involve any of the other terms. Using Lemma 1, the formulas (A.2) and (A.3) can be shown to satisfy the two recursions. The original formula for A1(d) ≡ nd(ψ̃H) expresses A1(d) in terms of B1(d1, d2). The formula (A.1) follows from (A.3) and Lemma 2. Originally, there are also the terms nd(ψ̃H,H ), but it is not hard...

For the last two years, XML has become an increasingly popular data-format embraced by a lot of di erent communities. XML is extremely attractive because it o ers a simple, intuitive and uniform textbased syntax and is extensible. One can nd today XML proposals for messages, text content delivery and presentation, data content, documents, software components, scienti c data, real-estate ads, na...

In the title compound, [Nd(NCS)(3)(C(15)H(15)NO(2))(3)], the Nd(III) ion is coordinated by three thio-cyanate anions [Nd-N = 2.489 (8)-2.530 (7) Å] and six O atoms [Nd-O = 2.375 (4)-2.843 (5) Å] from three zwitterionic 2-meth-oxy-6-(4-methyl-phenyl-iminiometh-yl)phenolate ligands in a tricapped trigonal-prismatic geometry. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur. The crystal packing exhibits...

Aim: To keep the cervical canal dilated after the fi rst high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy fraction to avoid general anesthesia during subsequent applications. Patients and Methods: In the fi rst HDR brachytherapy application: examination and cervical dilatation was done under general anesthesia. The proximal 4 cm of urinary Foley catheter was cut (making the new cervical tube), inserted in th...

objective: to evaluate the effect of cytoplasm transfer from mature oocytes to germinal vesicle(gv)s on promoting the maturation of cytoplasm of gv at the mrna level. materials and methods: sixty six in vitro fertilization (ivf) operations between june 2012 and november 2013 were included in this study. totally 120 gvs were obtained. normal gvs were categorized into 3 groups (n = 40) randomly: ...

In the title complex, {[Nd(C(6)H(4)NO(2))(2)(H(2)O)(4)]Cl}(n), the Nd(III) cation is located on a twofold rotation axis and coordinated by four isonicotiniate anions and four water mol-ecules in a distorted square-anti-prismatic geometry. The carboxyl-ate groups of the isonicotinate anions bridge the Nd(III) cations, forming polymeric chains running along the c axis. The Cl(-) anion is located ...
