Ferrocene (Fc) and N-(ferrocenylmethyl)-N,N-dimethyl-N-ethylammonium bistrifluoromethyl-sulfonimide (Fc1N112-TFSI) were dissolved in carbonate solvents and self-diffusion coefficients (D) of solutes and solvents were measured by (1)H and (19)F pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The organic solvents were propylene carbonate (PC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), an...

The central nervous system (CNS) ofDBAf2 mice inocutated i.p. with the D variant ofencephalornyocarditis virus (EMC-D) (10' PFUfhead) was examined up to 28 days postinoculation (28 DPI), The virus titer of CNS reached a maximum level at 4 DPI, and infectious viruses became undetectable by 28 DPI. Histopathologically, degeneration of neurons with virus antigens was observed in St. pyramidale hip...

We present a serological assay for the specific detection of IgM and IgG antibodies against the emerging human coronavirus hCoV-EMC and the SARS-CoV based on protein microarray technology. The assay uses the S1 receptor-binding subunit of the spike protein of hCoV-EMC and SARS-CoV as antigens. The assay has been validated extensively using putative cross-reacting sera of patient cohorts exposed...

Environment-mediated communication (EMC) is introduced as new concept for human-to-human communication in mobile computing. EMC denotes a style of communication, where communication partners are linked by an instance of the physical environment, with the link existing at least on a conceptual level if not physically on implementation level. Following general analysis of EMC, this paper reflects...

Primary epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) of the lung is an extremely rare neoplasm that originates from submucosal bronchial glands and has been found in the salivary glands, breast tissue, and sweat glands. However, only a few cases in the respiratory tract have been identified. In the literature, most pulmonary EMCs have been reported to have developed endobronchially although a few E...

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the electron Monte Carlo (eMC) dose calculation algorithm included in a commercial treatment planning system and compare its performance against an electron pencil beam algorithm. Several tests were performed to explore the system's behavior in simple geometries and in configurations encountered in clinical practice. The first series of t...

UNLABELLED A novel human coronavirus (HCoV-EMC) was recently identified in the Middle East as the causative agent of a severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) resembling the illness caused by SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). Although derived from the CoV family, the two viruses are genetically distinct and do not use the same receptor. Here, we investigated whether HCoV-EMC and SARS-CoV induce sim...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and calculation speed of electron dose distributions calculated by the Eclipse electron Monte Carlo (eMC) algorithm for use with bolus electron conformal therapy (ECT). The recent com-mercial availability of bolus ECT technology requires further validation of the eMC dose calculation algorithm. eMC-calculated electron dose distributions for...

The IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) established a program to recognize the voluntary work of our reviewers, which is fundamental maintaining highest standards EMC.

The inhibitor sensitivity and functional domains of recombinant encephalomyocarditis (EMC) virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (3Dpol) have been extensively analyzed. The inhibitor profiles of EMC virus 3Dpol and Escherichia coli DNA-dependent RNA polymerase are distinct, and experiments with substrate analogs indicate that EMC virus 3Dpol lacks reverse transcriptase activity. Twenty amino acid ...
