The synthesis of the polyaromatic aldehyde 1-hydroxybenz[a]anthracene-2-carboxaldehyde is reported via a seven step protocol from 9,10-dihydroanthracene, with an overall yield of 30%. Two equivalents of the aldehyde are condensed with (R)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine to produce a new binaphthyl-salen ligand, which is subsequently complexed to iron(II) and zinc(II) ions. The ligand and complexes...

ROBERT GULLIVER ABSTRACT. Let be a two-dimensional immersed minimal surface in a manifold Mn, having a curve as boundary. We do not assume that has minimum area. It will be shown that the number of sheets of passing through a point p 2 M (the density of at p) will be bounded by geometric measures of the complexity of . However, such an estimate must also depend on the geometry of the ambient ma...

The measured dynamic surface tension of a water drop in air saturated by heptane vapor shows a sharp decrease from about 60 mN m−1 to 40 mN m−1, and less after a certain adsorption time. The observed adsorption kinetics is analyzed by a theoretical model based on multilayer adsorption of alkanes from the vapor phase at the water surface. The model assumes a dependence of the kinetic coefficient...

in order to study the effect of different levels of the manure and foliar application of zn and mn fertilizers on the quantitative and qualitative yield of soybeans (var. williams), a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012. treatments involved three levels of fertilizer: manure (zero as control; six and 12 t/ha), two levels of mn...

Background: Most of the cytogenetic dosimetry, except Premature Chromosome Condensation assay, saturates at 6 Gy. Present studies are aimed to assess feasibility of simple CB-MN assay for prescreening of high dose accidental exposures. Materials and Methods: Human peripheral blood lymphocytes from two donors were gamma irradiated to different doses ranging from 0-15Gy, cultured for 72 h. Cytoch...

concentrations of six heavy metals including cr, mn, ni, pb, v and zn were determined in topsoil (from 47 grid cells), surface water (4 streams) and groundwater (8 wells and 4 qanats) from an agriculturalarea located at south part of the iranian capital, near the tehran oil refinery. concentrations of the elementswere measured using flame and flameless atomic absorption spectrometry. based on t...

BACKGROUND Planning policy makers and practitioners are requesting clearer guidance on the 'essential' ingredients as assessed by public health researchers to ensure suburban neighbourhood environments are designed to promote active living behaviours such as walking. OBJECTIVES To identify the combination of design requirements from the 'Liveable Neighbourhoods' (LN) planning policy in Perth,...

Introduction: Median Nerve (MN) originated from medial and lateral cords of Brachial Plexus can be affected by anatomical variations which may lead to several diagnostic and therapeutic mistakes. This paper aim is to study about MN variations investigated by cadaveric studies. Materials and Methods: This study is based on research in electronic databases. Full text of all relevant papers has b...

Using a novel alternating target laser ablation deposition technique, Mn cations were placed in specific interstitial sites of BaFe12O19 thin films as opposed to being distributed throughout the unit cell as in conventional bulk materials. The distribution of Mn cations has been confirmed experimentally and predicted theoretically. As a result of site selection, the saturation magnetization inc...
