We used extended Huckel calculations, variable-temperature, homonuclear long-range shift-correlated 2-D H-1 NMR and dynamic NOE measurements to investigate rotational phenomena of substituent phenyl rings on (eta(5)-cyclopentadienyl)(eta(4)-tetraphenylcyclobutadiene)cob...

An experienced director usually switches among different types of shots to make visual storytelling more touching. When filming a musical performance, appropriate switching shots can produce some special effects, such as enhancing the expression of emotion or heating up...

Received signal strength (RSS) in Wi-Fi networks is commonly employed in indoor positioning systems; however, device diversity is a fundamental problem in such RSS-based systems. The variation in hardware is inevitable in the real world due to the tremendous growth in r...

A printable, surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active test strip, with in situ growth of gold nanoparticles on completely untreated paper, is demonstrated to screen for bio-toxins below the maximum residue levels in the European Union, in food. The cheap disposab...

The surfaces of paddy fields may crack into fissures as a result of drainage and exposure to sunlight after rice harvesting. Field observations indicate that a cracked paddy field has a significantly increased rate of infiltration. Yet, the infiltration rate drops consi...

Hand, foot and mouth diseases (HFMD) are mainly caused by Enterovirus A71 (EV-A71) infections. Clinical trials in Asia conducted with formalin-inactivated EV-A71 vaccine candidates produced from serum-free Vero cell culture using either roller bottle or cell factory tec...

Selecting transparently a proper network connection for voice communication will be a fundamental requirement in future multi-mode heterogeneous wireless network. This paper extends always best connected (ABC) to a fine-grain paradigm called always best network connecti...

Our capability to visualize protein complexes such as RNA polymerase II (pol II) by single-molecule imaging techniques has largely been hampered by the absence of a simple bio-orthogonal approach for selective labeling with a fluorescent probe. Here, we modify the exist...

Abstract Abstract 3532 Introduction: The study is to analyze the prognostic impact of post-induction-BM status combining minimal residual disease (MRD), neutrophil/monocyte maturation return to MDS and quantitation of hematogones in adult AML achieving first morphologi...

We quantitatively estimate the segregation indices in a continuous-flow stirred reactor (CSTR) on the basis of a unique parallel competing reaction scheme proposed by Villermaux and co-workers. Although the feed stream flow rate is much less than the circulation rate in...
