A series of cationic rhodium(I) and iridium(I) complexes of the type [M(L[symbol: see text]L)(C2)]BAr(F)24 (where M = Rh or Ir, L[symbol: see text]L = bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane (bpm), bis(N-methylimidazol-2-yl)methane (bim) or 1-(2-(diphenylphosphino)ethyl)-3,5-diphenylpyrazole (Ph2PyP), C2 = 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) or (CO)2 and BAr(F)24 = tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate) were sy...

OBJECTIVES To assess the effect of inpatient oral nutritional supplement (ONS) use on length of stay, episode cost, and 30-day readmission probability. STUDY DESIGN Eleven-year retrospective study (2000 to 2010). METHODS Analyses were conducted using the Premier Perspectives Database, which contained information on 44.0 million adult inpatient episodes. Using a matched sample of ONS and non...

E76 E nvironmental scanning is a systematic effort to obtain information about the world that will affect an organization. Scanning is important in managing change and avoiding costly mistakes. The Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) conducts an environmental scan at three-year intervals, consistent with its strategic planning cycle. This environmental scan builds on previous work by incorporating a...

Zorro-LNA is a new class of therapeutic anti-gene oligonucleotides (ONs) capable of invading supercoiled DNA. The synthesis of single stranded Zorro-LNA is typically complex and laborious, requiring reverse phosphoramidites and a chemical linker connecting the two separate ON arms. Here, a simplified synthesis strategy based on 'click chemistry' is presented with a high potential for screening ...

Targeted mutagenesis directed by oligonucleotides (ONs) is a promising method for manipulating the genome in higher eukaryotes. In this study, we have compared gene editing by different ONs on two new target sequences, the eBFP and the rd1 mutant photoreceptor betaPDE cDNAs, which were integrated as single copy transgenes at the same genomic site in 293T cells. Interestingly, antisense ONs were...

E(V − I) reddening values for 1123 locations in the bar region of the Large Magellanic Cloud are presented. V , I photometry of red clump stars identified in the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment II catalogue of LMC were used to estimate reddening. E(V − I) values were estimated as the difference between observed and the characteristic values of (V − I) for the red clump population in a ...
