vitamin leads to a loss of copper from the body, known as pellagra disease. The nicotinamide derivative, N,Ndiethylnicotinamide (DENA), is an important respiratory stimulant. A structure determination of the title compound was undertaken in order to determine the ligand properties of NA and salicylate ligands. The title compound was prepared from the reaction of Zn(2HO-C6H5COO)2·8(H2O) (1.46 g,...

Numerous examples of closed-cage nanostructures, such as nested fullerene-like nanoparticles and nanotubes, formed by the folding of materials with layered structure are known. These compounds include WS₂, NiCl₂, CdCl₂, Cs₂O, and recently V₂O₅. Layered materials, whose chemical bonds are highly ionic in character, possess relatively stiff layers, which cannot be evenly folded. Thus, stress-reli...

This paper describes a new method o5 plasmid DNA purification which is fast and reliable enough for most purposes in recombinant DNA technology. The present method does not require the use of toxic chemicals such as phenol or e th id ium bromide, costly ultracentri /ugation procedures or other processes which can modify the supercoiled structure of the plasmids, such as adsorption on glass fibe...

Two novel lead(II) carboxyphosphonates with a layered and a 3D framework structure, namely, [Pb2Cl3(H2L)]·H2O (1) and [Pb2(HL)(HBTC)] (2) (H3L = H2O3PCH2-NC5H9-COOH, H3BTC = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized. For compound 1, the interconnection of Pb(1)O2Cl3, Pb(2)O2Cl3, and CPO3 polyhedra via corner- and edge-sh...

This study examined the potential pathogenicity of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) in feces of sika deer by PCR binary typing (P-BIT), using 24 selected STEC genes. A total of 31 STEC strains derived from sika deer in 6 prefectures of Japan were O-serotyped and found to be O93 (n=12), O146 (n=5), O176 (n=3), O130 (n=3), O5 (n=2), O7 (n=1), O96 (n=1), O116 (n=1), O141 (n=1), O157 (...

The haemodynamic effects of intravenous and intramuscular injections of 40 mgfrusemide were studied in I7 patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction. Sixteen of the patients had either clinical or radiographic evidence of left ventricular dysfunction. There was an average diuresis of 7I0 ml during the 6o minutes after the injection. Haemodynamic data were obtained before and at I5, 30,...

A group of 1,623 ovine fecal samples recovered from 65 geographically distinct mutton sheep and prime lamb properties across New South Wales, Australia, were screened for the presence of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) virulence factors (stx(1), stx(2), eaeA, and ehxA). A subset was cultured for STEC isolates containing associated virulence factors (eaeA and/or ehxA), which were i...

HD 167971 is a triple system consisting of a 3.3-day eclipsing binary (O5–8 V + O5–8 V) and an O8 supergiant. It is also a well known non-thermal radio emitter. We observed the radio emission of HD 167971 with the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). By combining these data with VLA archive observations we constructed a radio lightcurve covering a 20-yr time-...
