The first silicon-carbon hybrid ladderanes consisting of trisila and tricarba ladder rails were obtained by the reactions lithium disilenide R2Si=SiRLi (R=2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl) with allylchlorosilanes. steric strain in 1,2,6-trisilabicyclo[2.2.0]hexanes imposed bulky substituents leads to highly distorted ring systems extreme puckering long bridgehead bonds. All show strong absorptions UV/v...

Some individuals have very specific and differentiated emotional experiences, such as anger, shame, excitement, and happiness, whereas others have more general affective experiences of pleasure or discomfort that are not as highly differentiated. Considering that individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) have cognitive deficits for negative information, we predicted that people with MDD ...

We suggest a rigorous theory of how objective single-case transition probabilities fit into our world. The theory combines indeterminism and relativity in the ‘‘branching space–times’’ pattern, and relies on the existing theory of causae causantes (originating causes). Its fundamental suggestion is that (at least in simple cases) the probabilities of all transitions can be computed from the bas...

Nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide gases together with dust are known as the major pollutants arising during the blasting operations using the ammonium nitrate-fuel oil (ANFO) explosive at the Sungun surface mine, located in the northwest of Iran. The pollutants were monitored during some blasting operations at the mine. It was concluded that the gases and dust clouds initially went up to the ...
