A novel 2-D coordination polymer constructed from high nuclearity nanosized Ho48 clusters was synthesised and structurally characterized using single-crystal X-ray analysis. The Ho48 cluster core with a charming waist drum-like structure was templated by CO3(2-) ions, and bridged by Ho-N bonds to get a 2-D coordination polymer.

Mobility and reduction of industrial activity time is one of the major requirements raised to modern systems of automation. One of the most effective ways of achievement of this purpose is vertical integration with use of wireless technologies. The lab set – model of vertical integration for data gathering from the intellectual Profibus РА sensor, Profibus DP data transmission, controllers conf...

It is estimated that by 2050 there will be 2 billion people aged 60 years and older in the world. The evidence base for the health benefits of good nutrition and physical activity, as well as weight loss among overweight and obese adults, is growing and a number of policies and guidelines are available to guide health professionals in serving older people at various stages of the lifecycle. The...

Many species of Muscidae are cosmopolitan synanthropic insects. It is frequently found on dead bodies after death, so an accurate identification of each species is necessary for the correct estimation of the postmortem interval (PMI). Identification species of Muscidae is traditionally performed through their morphological features. However, the morphological similarity of Muscidae in the level...

Glyceollins, one family of phytoalexins, are de novo synthesised from daidzein in the soyabean upon exposure to some types of fungus. The efficiency of glyceollin production appears to be influenced by soyabean variety, fungal species, and the degree of physical damage to the soyabean. The compounds have been shown to have strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, and to inhibit the ...

A biomaterial derived from porcine intestinal submucosa has been used in the development of a new biologic wound matrix. This review describes the origin of the wound matrix device, including the discovery of the biomaterial and its properties, to the development of the commercial product currently in clinical use. The composition and structure of this biomaterial are described and considered a...
