The title compound, [Ru(C(10)H(15))(NO)(HOCH(2)CH(2)OH)](CF(3)SO(3))(2), possesses a three-legged piano-stool geometry around the Ru atom, with an average Ru-O distance of 2.120 (6) Å and an Ru-N-O angle of 159.45 (14)°. The ethyl-eneglycol ligand forms a non-planar metallacyclic ring by chelating the Ru atom via the O atoms. The O⋯O distances of 2.554 (2) and 2.568 (2) Å are indicative of hydr...

In continuous speech, it is believed that the pitch contour of the same syllable may vary a lot due to its different context information. To apply the Parallel Encoding and Target Approximation (PENTA) model to Mandarin speech synthesis and improve its prediction accuracy, this paper proposed a method to predict pitch contours for Chinese syllables with different contexts by combining the Class...

The title compound, [Co(C(14)H(17)N(5))(C(6)H(7)N)](C(24)H(20)B) or [Co{(pyrrole)(2)dien}(4-Mepy)]BPh(4) where (pyrrole)(2)dien is 2,2'-[(3-aza-pentane-1,5-diylbis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]dipyrrole and 4-Mepy is 4-methyl-pyridine, contains a penta-dentate (pyrrole)(2)dien ligand furnishing an N(5) set, such that two of the pyrrole N atoms and two of the dien N atoms occupy the equatorial position...

OBJECTIVE To identify the determinants of timely vaccination among young children in the North-West of Burkina Faso. METHODS This study included 1665 children between 12 and 23 months of age from the Nouna Health and Demographic Surveillance System, born between September 2006 and December 2008. The effect of socio-demographic variables on timely adherence to the complete vaccination schedule...

Cancer detection in early stage using a powerful and noninvasive tool is of high global interest. In this experiment, a small-molecular-weight glucose based derivative of Gd3+-1-(4-isothiocyanatobenzyl) diethylene tri amine penta acetic acid (Gd3+-p-SCN-Bn‐DTPA‐DG) as a novel potential MR imaging contrast agents was synthesized. Gd3+-p-SCN-Bn‐DTPA‐DG was synthesized with reacting of Glucosamine...

The title compound, [Zr2(C10H15)4(C6H6N2)2]·C6H14, was obtained by the stoichiometric reaction of adipo-nitrile with [Zr(C10H15)2(η(2)-Me3SiC2SiMe3)]. Intra-molecular nitrile-nitrile couplings and deprotonation of the substrate produced the (1-imino-2-enimino)-cyclo-pentane ligand, which functions as a five-membered bridge between the two metal atoms. The Zr(IV) atom exhibits a distorted tetra-...

In continuous speech, the pitch contour of the same syllable may vary much due to its contextual information. The Parallel Encoding and Target Approximation (PENTA) model is applied here to Mandarin speech synthesis with a method to predict pitch contours for Chinese syllables with different contexts by combining the Classification And Regression Tree (CART) with the PENTA model to improve its ...

The title compound, [Co(C10H15)2]2[CoCl4]·2CH2Cl2, was isolated as a dichloromethane solvate and was formed in the reaction between lithium penta-methyl-cyclo-penta-dienide and anyhydrous cobalt(II) chloride in tetra-hydro-furan. There are two deca-methyl-cobaltocenium cations, one tetrachloridocobaltate(II) anion and two di-chloro-methane solvent mol-ecules in the formula unit. There is a slig...

We have performed a detailed first-principles study of the penta-AlN2 nanostructure in the Cairo pentagonal tiling geometry, which is dynamically stable due to the absence of imaginary mode in the calculated phonon spectrum. The formation energy and the fragment cohesive energy analyses, the molecular dynamics simulations, and the mechanical property studies also support the structural stabilit...
