The Co(2+) ion in the title compound, Rb[Co(C3H7NO3)(H2O)5][H6CoMo6O24]·C3H7NO3·10H2O, is coordinated by five water mol-ecules and one O-monodentate l-serine ligand in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The Rb(+) ion is irregularly coordinated by nine O atoms. In the crystal, the [H6Co(III)Mo6O24](3-) polyanions are stacked along the b-axis direction, mediated by bridging Rb-O bonds. N-H...

This essay looks at the historical significance of two APS classic papers that are freely available online: Gollnick PD, Armstrong RB, Saubert CW IV, Piehl K, and Saltin B. Enzyme activity and fiber composition in skeletal muscle of untrained and trained men. J Appl Physiol 33: 312–319, 1972 (http://jap.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/33/3/312).

We report the first extensive study of stellar Rb abundances. High-resolution spectra have been used to determine, or set upper limits on, the abundances of this heavy element and the associated elements Y, Zr, and Ba in 44 dwarfs and giants with metallicities spanning the range −2.0 < [Fe/H] < 0.0. In metal-deficient stars Rb is systematically overabundant relative to Fe; we find an average [R...

I compare the anticipated properties of the top quark with what is known experimentally about the heaviest fermion. I review the scienti c opportunities that will be presented in the near future by copious samples of top. These include re ned tests of electroweak radiative corrections, studies of the nature of top itself, and exploration of electroweak symmetry breaking. I conclude by illustrat...

The effect of in vivo x-irradiation on rabbit lens permeability was studied by the Rb runout method. At 24 hours following x-irradiation of the lens the rate of Rb runout was found to be increased and reached a maximum at one week. Over the subsequent 2 weeks the rate of Rb runout decreased, although still remaining above normal. The increase in lens permeability preceded the appearance of lens...

We study quantum interference effects on the transition strength for strongly localized electrons hopping on two-dimensional ~2D! square and three-dimensional ~3D! cubic lattices in the presence of a magnetic field. These effects arise from the interference between phase factors associated with different electron paths connecting two distinct sites. For electrons confined on a square lattice, w...

Rhodamine B (RB) is a toxic dye used extensively in textile industry, which must be remediated before its drainage to environment. In the present study, supported gold nanoparticles on commercially available titania and zincite were successfully prepared and then their activity on the photodegradation of RB under UV A light irradiation were evaluated. The synthesized photocatalysts were charact...

We have studied the isotopes (82)Rb45, (83)Rb46, and (84)Rb47 to search for magnetic rotation which is predicted in the tilted-axis cranking model for a certain mass region around A = 80. Excited states in these nuclei were populated via the reaction (11)B + (76)Ge with E = 50 MeV at the XTU tandem accelerator of the LNL Legnaro. Based on a γ-coincidence experiment using the spectrometer GASP w...

Resting B (rB) cells are known to be incompetent APCs in vitro, which alone can induce specific unresponsiveness to single minor histocompatibility (miH) Ags and, when combined with CD40 pathway blockade, can induce hyporesponsiveness to MHC molecules in vivo. Here we show that anti-CD40 ligand (CD40L) mAb does not prevent the expression of B7-2 on allogeneic rB cells in vivo but did prolong do...
