The structure of a mixed-valence copper complex with 1,10phenanthroline, [Cu(phen)2]±NC±[Cu (phen)((Se,S)CN)][(Se,S)CN].0.5(C2H5OH), -cyano-1 N:2 C-(seleno,thio)cyanato-2 N-tris(1,10-phenanthroline)-1 4N,N0;2 2N,N0-dicopper(I,II) (seleno,thio)cyanate semiethanolate, has been revised from space group Cc to C2/c. Re®nement in C2/c has shown that, contrary to the Cc results, the (Se,S)CN anions ca...

For many network server applications, extracting the maximum performance or scalability from the hardware may no longer be much of a concern, given today’s pricing – a $300 system can easily handle 100 Mbps of Web server traffic, which would cost nearly $30,000 per month in most areas. Freed from worrying about absolute performance, we re-examine the design space for simplicity and security, an...

PURPOSE The aim of the study was to assess changes in subarachnoid space width (sas-TQ), the marker of intracranial pressure (ICP), pial artery pulsation (cc-TQ) and cardiac contribution to blood pressure (BP), cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) and cc-TQ oscillations throughout the maximal breath hold in elite apnoea divers. Non-invasive assessment of sas-TQ and cc-TQ became possible due to r...

PURPOSE To validate a novel, real-time, steady-state free precession (SSFP), single-breathhold technique for the assessment of left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) function in heart failure patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 20 heart failure patients (mean age 59 +/- 17 years) underwent scanning with our new, real-time, spiral SSFP sequence in which each cardiac phase was ...

Recent advances in ubiquitous devices open an opportunity to apply new data stream mining techniques to support intelligent decision making in the next generation of ubiquitous applications. This paper motivates and describes a novel Context-aware Collaborative data stream mining system CC-Stream that allows intelligent mining and classification of time-changing data streams on-board ubiquitous...

Abstract Coastal ecosystems are subjected to an increasing number of anthropogenic drivers, including marine renewable energies and climate change (CC). These drivers can interact in complex ways, which may lead cumulative effects (CEs) whose potential consequences on the need be addressed. We used a holistic approach—ecological network analysis (ENA)—coupled with two-dimensional food web model...

An Li metal anode has been proposed as a promising candidate for high energy density electrode material. However, the direct use of can lead to uncontrollable dendrite growth and massive volume expansion, which generates severe safety hazards hinders practical application. Herein, we developed novel by thermal infusion into three-dimensional (3D) carbon cloth (CC) modified with lithiophilic CuO...

Assuming that supernovae type Ia (SNe Ia) are standard candles one could use them to test cosmological theories. The Hubble Space Telescope team analyzed 186 SNe Ia [1] to test the standard cosmological model (SC) and evaluate its parameters. We use the same sample to determine parameters of Conformal Cosmological models (CC). We concluded, that really the test is extremely useful and allows to...
