A porous coordination polymer, {[Eu(dpdo)4(H2O)3]H(SiMo12O40)(dpdo)0.5(CH3CN)0.5(H2O)4}n (1), (where dpdo is 4,4′-bipyridine-N,N′-dioxide) templated by double-Keggin-type polyanions has been synthesized through the self-assembly of Eu(III) ions and dpdo in acetonitrile/water solution and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The X-ray...

Formation of atelectasis is one mechanism of impaired gas exchange during general anaesthesia. We have studied manoeuvres to re-expand such atelectasis in 16 consecutive, anaesthetized adults with healthy lungs. In group 1 (10 patients), the lungs were inflated stepwise to an airway pressure (Paw) of 10, 20, 30 and 40 cm H2O. In group 2 (six patients), three repeated inflations up to Paw = 30 c...

Title of dissertation: THE EFFECT OF SURFACTANT VAPOR ON MARANGONI CONVECTION IN ABSORPTION AND CONDENSATION Zhe Yuan, Doctor of Philosophy, 2005 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Keith E. Herold, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering Mass and heat transfer enhancement by the addition of a class of surfactant additives is in common use in absorption machines based on aqueous lit...

We designed and carried out experiments to investigate the effect of H2O on the liquidus temperature of olivine-saturated primitive melts. The effect of H2O was isolated from other influences by experimentally determining the liquidus temperatures of the same melt composition with various amounts of H2O added. Experimental data indicate that the effect of H2O does not depend on pressure or melt...

Ab initio calculations of depolarization ratios and intensities of classically scattered light, in terms of dipole polarizabilities and polarizability anisotropies, are reported for different hydrogen bonded molecular clusters. Five different groups of organic heterodimers formed with water are considered: HCHO · · ·H2O, CH3HO · · ·H2O, HCOOH · · ·H2O, CH3CN · · ·H2O, and (CH3)2CO · · ·H2O, tog...
