Muak Sa-aak is a tonal Angkuic language spoken in Eastern Shan state of Myanmar, belonging to the Austroasiatic family. It has three contrastive tones: a falling tone, a low tone, and a constricted tone with two allotones. Syllable structure and tone are closely linked, seen by restrictions on the occurrence of tones with certain syllable structures. Angkuic languages do not appear to develop t...

Chromium-chromium quintuple bonds seem to be approaching the lower limit for their bond distances, and this computational density functional theory study tries to explore the geometrical and electronic factors that determine that distance and to find ways to fine-tune it via the ligand choice. While for monodentate ligands the Cr-Cr distance is predicted to shorten as the Cr-Cr-L bond angle inc...

Dans sa thèse C. Lehr vient d’exhiber un algorithme pour décrire la réduction stable des revêtements p-cycliques de la droite projective sur un corps p-adique dans le cas où le lieu de branchement de cardinal m + 1 a la géométrie équidistante et sous l’hypothèse où m < p. Dans cette note toujours dans le cas où le lieu de branchement a la géométrie équidistante nous proposons un algorithme sans...

X-ray crystallographic studies have been carried out on three compounds containing chromium-chromium quadruple bonds: Cr2(02CCH&(H02CCH&, I, C ~ ~ ( O ~ C C H ~ ) ~ ( C S H , , N ) ~ , 11 and [NHI]~[C~~(CQ~)~(M~~)~](H~~)~-~, III. The results, together with those on nine compounds in the literature, are sufficient to indicate a crude general relationship between the donor ability of the bridging...

Targeted temperature management is the key intervention for improving neurological outcomes after cardiac arrest. We discuss new data on the optimal timing and modalities of targeted temperature management. It took nearly half a century, from 1957 to 2002, for therapeutic hypothermia to acquire its current status as a key intervention for improving neurological outcomes in survivors of cardiac ...

BACKGROUND Scientists conducting research into household air or dust pollution must decide whether, when, and how to disclose to study participants their individual results. A variety of considerations factor into this decision, but one factor that has not received attention until now is the possibility that study participants' receipt of their results might create legal duties under environmen...

BACKGROUND The emergence of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and its role in skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) accentuated the role of SA-SSTIs in hospitalizations. METHODS We used the Nationwide Inpatient Sample and Census Bureau data to quantify population-based incidence and associated cost for SA-SSTI hospitalizations. RESULTS SA-SSTI associate...
