In the reaction of 8-hy-droxy-quinoline, 2-methyl-8-hy-droxy-quinoline and stannic chloride, the 2-methyl-8-hy-droxy-quinoline is protonated, yielding the disolvated title salt, (C(10)H(10)NO)[SnCl(4)(C(9)H(6)NO)]·2CH(3)OH. The Sn(IV) atom in the anion is N,O-chelated by the hy-droxy-quinolinate in a cis-SnNOCl(4) octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, the cation, anion and solvent mol-ecules ar...

The Chinese Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner (COCTS) on board HY-1 series satellites has two thermal infrared channels with the spectrum range of 10.30-11.40 μm 11.40-12.50 for sea surface temperature (SST) observations. To reprocess Haiyang-1B (HY-1B) COCTS SST, Bayesian cloud detection optimal estimation (OE) SST retrieval were applied to data in this study. algorithm that been deve...

The title compound, C(35)H(35)NO(2)·CH(4)O, was obtained by the reaction of rac-2-amino-2-hy-droxy-1,1-binaphthyl and 3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hy-droxy-benzaldehyde in absolute methanol. In the Schiff base mol-ecule, the two naphthyl bicycles are twisted by 71.15 (5)°. One hy-droxy group is involved in intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond, while the methanol solvent mol-ecule is linked to another hy-...

Inference: We approximately solve the inference problem by iterating the following two steps: 1. Holding Gy fixed, optimize hy (solved by Loopy BP): hy = argmax h’ wΨ(x,h’, y;Gy) 2. Holding hy fixed, optimize Gy (solved by integer linear program (ILP)): Gy = argmax G ′ wΨ(x,hy, y;G ) We define a variable z, zjk = 1 indicates that the edge (j, k) is included in the graph, and 0 otherwise. we enf...

Ovarian cancer is the fourth most frequent cause of cancer-related death in women in the United States. The currently recommended treatment is a combination of surgery followed by chemotherapy. However, ovarian cancer is characterized by the development of peritoneal micrometastases. These latter, hardly detectable by conventional method, are therefore suboptimally treated by standard surgery. ...

Hypericin-mediated photodynamic therapy (HY-PDT) has become a potential treatment for tumors and nonmalignant disorders. Some studies reported that HY-PDT could lead to apoptosis in some carcinoma cells. However, the molecular mechanism of HY-PDT remains unknown. In this study, we evaluated the molecular mechanisms of hypericin associated with light-emitting diode irradiation on the poorly diff...

We investigated the contribution of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and Na+/Ca2+ exchanger in the tension-dependent change in the decay of the Ca2+ transients (CaT) in euthyroid (Eu) and hyperthyroid (Hy) myocardium. Hy was induced by thyroxine treatment to enhance the rate of SR Ca2+ uptake. With the use of the aequorin method, CaT and tension in twitch contraction were simultaneously measured und...

A stable, hydrogen-defect structure of post-perovskite (hy-ppv, Mg1 xSiH2xO3) has been determined by first-principles calculations of the vibrational and elastic properties up to 150 GPa. Among three potential hy-ppv structures analyzed, one was found to be stable at pressures relevant to the lower-mantle D 00 region. Hydrogen has a pronounced effect on the elastic properties of post-perovskite...

Five species of Hymenoscyphus that fruit on black stromatized parts of dead leaves of deciduous trees are presented, giving details on their morphological and ecological characteristics. Several of these species have previously been misplaced in rutstroemiaceous genera because of the presence of a substratal stroma. However, the heteropolar, scutuloid ascospores with an often hook-like lateral ...

This paper introduces a new class called hang yourself (HY) arguments into the theory of defeasible argumentation. The novelty of such arguments is that they are inherently destructive: they cannot be used to support conclusions but only to attack other arguments. In this paper it is described what these arguments are, how they can be formalized, and what the formal consequences are of adding t...
