Volume rendering is a technique for visualizing 3D arrays of sampled data. Volume rendering, though capable of performing very effective visualization, is very computationally intensive. Semi-boundary (SB) is a compact data structure used to encode extracted surface from volume data. In this paper, we describe an incremental algorithm to shorten rendering of SB nodes. We define two projection r...

A sensitive atomic spectrometric method for the redox speciation analysis of antimony in soils is described. The method is based on the selective generation of stibine from Sb(III) in a continuous flow system using atomic fluorescence spectrometry for detection. Sb(V) is masked by citric or oxalic acid in HCl medium. The procedure was optimized with synthetic solutions of Sb(III) and Sb(V). The...

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Sb(C(44)H(28)N(4))Cl(2)][Sb(2)Cl(8)](0.5)·CH(2)Cl(2), is composed of a Sb(V) complex cation wherein the Sb atom is hexa-coordinated by four N atoms of the pyrrole rings of the tetra-phenyl-porphyrinate (TPP) ligands and two chloride ions, a half di-μ-chlorido-bis-[trichloridoanti-monate(III)] counter-anion and a dichloro-methane solvent mol-ecule. In t...

Host immunosurveillance as a mechanism to promote tumor growth or to suppress tumor development is well studied. It is less known how immuno-selective pressure in the form of immunotherapies can instruct the immune system during this process. We hypothesized that the application of a T cell-dependent selection pressure in the form of a whole tumor vaccine would alter the immunogenic architectur...

In the title compound, [Sb(C(9)H(12)N)(2)Cl], the Sb atom adopts a Ψ-trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The two 2-[(dimethyl-amino)-methyl]-phenyl ligands are coordinated asymmetrically to the Sb atom. The carbon atoms of one of the ligands are disordered over sets of sites with equal occupancy, resulting in two conformational isomers in the crystal. The Sb-C and Sb-N distances in the ordered ligan...

The green colored complexes of the type Re(V)O(L(SB))Cl(2), 1, have been synthesised by reacting NBu(4)[ReOCl(4)] with HL(SB) in dry ethanol. Here, L(SB)(-) are the deprotonated forms of N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-2-picolylamine (HL(SB)(1)); N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N',N'-dimethylethylenediamine (HL(SB)(2)) and N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-N',N'-diethylethylenediamine (HL(SB)(3)). Similarly, NBu(4)[ReOCl(4)] reacte...

The title compound, [Sb(2)(C(6)H(5))(6)(CH(3)O)(2)O]·2CH(3)OH, is the methanol disolvate of a dinuclear triphenyl-anti-mony derivative. The mol-ecule shows C(s) symmetry. The Sb-O-Sb angles cover a range from 89.65 (10)° to 102.08 (13)°. In the crystal structure, two O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are present.
