[Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]W(H)Cl is obtained via reaction of WCl(6) with a mixture of [Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]Li(2) and NaBH(4), from which the dichloride [Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]WCl(2) is obtained via treatment with CHCl(3). [Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]WCl(2) provides a means to access other ansa tungstenocene compounds, such as [Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]WH(2), [Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]WMe(2), and [Me(2)Si(C...

We present empirical evidence for a radiative cooling time for the Io plasma torus that is about a factor of ten less than presently accepted values. We show that brightness fluctuations of the torus in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) at one ansa are uncorrelated with the brightness at the other ansa displaced in time by five hours, either later or earlier. Because the time for a volume of plasma...

Ivermectin is currently approved for treatment of both clinical and veterinary infections by nematodes, including Onchocerca cervicalis in horses and Onchocerca volvulus in humans. However, ivermectin has never been shown to be effective against bacterial pathogens. Here we show that ivermectin also inhibits infection of epithelial cells by the bacterial pathogen, Chlamydia trachomatis, at dose...

New permethylindenyl-phenoxide (PHENI*) ansa -metallocene titanium complexes immobilised on inorganic solid supports are highly effective catalysts for ethylene polymerisation capable of producing disentangled ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.

We have measured the proper motion (PM) and kinematics of the ansae in NGC 7009 using high dispersion echelle spectra and archive narrow band HST images. Assuming that the ansae are moving at equal and opposite velocities from the central star we obtain a system radial velocity of −53± 2 km.s, the eastern ansa approaching and the western ansa receding at vr = 5.3± 1 km.s −1 with respect to this...

The article provides anatomic information about cervicothoracic ganglion in roe deer. For this purpose 12 cervicothoracic ganglia obtained from the right and left sides of 6 mature roe deer weighing 18-25 kg of both sexes were investigated. Cervicothoracic ganglion was located at the first intercostal space and ventrolateral side of longus colli muscle. This ganglion which was in various forms ...
