Automated activity monitoring has become important in many applications. In particular, automated monitoring is an important issue in large-scale management of group-housed livestock because it can save a significant part of farm workers’ time or minimize the damage caused by livestock problems. In this paper, we propose an automated solution for measuring the daily-life activities of pigs by u...

The title compound, C13H13NO2, was previously described in space group P21/c by He et al. [Acta Cryst. (1993), C49, 2000-2002]. The ethyl group is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.615 (10):0.385 (10) ratio. The C-O-C-C torsion angles containing the ethyl group are -111.6 (10) and 177.9 (7)°, while in the previously reported polymorph, the torsion angle is -167.3 (2)°. The molecules pack...

An arithmetic criterion for the classification of crystal structures with $n$ points in their unit cell ('n-lattices') was described by Pitteri & Zanzotto [Acta Cryst. (1998), A54 359-373]. In this paper, a systematic analysis of monoatomic 2-lattices is given, showing that there exist 29 distinct arithmetic types of these structures, some of which share the same space groups. As all monoatomic...

An algorithm for evaluation of the crystallographic FFT for 67 crystallographic space groups is presented. The symmetry is reduced in such a way that it is enough to calculate P1 FFT in the asymmetric unit only and then, in a computationally simpler step, recover the final result. The algorithm yields the maximal symmetry reduction for every space group considered. For the central step in the c...

In the title compound, C22H21N3O4, the central pyrrolidine ring adopts a C-envelope conformation with a C atom 0.6593 (13) Å displaced from the mean plane formed by the remaining ring atoms. The indoline ring systems (r.m.s. devisations of 0.0356 and 0.0547 Å) are almost perpendicular to the mean plane of the pyrrolidine ring, making dihedral angles of 89.7 (6) and 82.5 (6)°. The acetate group ...

A sequence of four phases has been found for an acetonitrile-solvated co-crystal with 15-crown-5 of the nickel complex [acetonitrilediaqua-κ(1)O-nitrato-κ(2)O-nitratonickel(II)]. The structure could be determined at intervals of ca 10 K in the range 90-273 K because crystals remain single through the three transitions. In phase (I) (T ≥ ca 240 K; P2(1)/m, Z' = ½), there is extensive disorder, w...

For dietary surveillance in the United States, the preferred method for collecting dietary intake data is the 24-hour dietary recall. However, researchers are interested in usual intake (i.e. long-term average daily intake). Researchers are also interested in exploring multiple dietary components collectively to consider dietary patterns, and consumption of these dietary components varies. Some...
