This study was conducted to produce a high percentage of genetically male tilapia through interspecific hybridization between Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus and Blue tilapia, O. aureus and evaluate sex ratio, productive performance and heterosis of the progeny produced. The results revealed that sex ratios of the progenies of (♀ O. aureus x ♂ O. niloticus) and (♀ O. niloticus x ♂ O. aureus...

a new proton transfer compound, formulated as (hamp-6-pic)(hpyzd) ∙h2o (1), has been synthesized from the reaction of pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (h2pyzd)  and 2-amino-6-methyl pyridine (amp-6-pic), in 1:1 molar ratio. extensive o−h×××o, n−h×××n and o−h×××o hydrogen bonds involving (hamp-6-pic)+ cation, (hpyzd)- anion and co-crystal water molecule٫ static electronic٫ and π…π stacking interac...

Dementia is defined as significant acquired cognitive impairment in one or more cognitive domains that represents a significant decline from previous baseline and interferes with independence in daily activities. Autoimmune dementia is a term that has been used to describe a steroid-responsive autoimmune disorder characterized by a rapidly progressive dementia with a fluctuating course. Even co...

The title complex, [Nd(2)(C(8)H(3)NO(6))(2)(C(8)H(4)NO(6))(2)(H(2)O)(6)]·2H(2)O, consists of dimeric units related by an inversion center. The Nd(III) atom is nine-coordinated by three O atoms from water mol-ecules and six from carboxyl-ate atoms. The 1,2-dicarboxylate acid molecules are in a single and double deprotonation stage and exhibit two coord-in-ation modes, viz. μ(2)-(κ(4), O(1): O(2)...

The title compound, {[Nd(2)(CH(2)CHCOO)(6)(H(2)O)(3)]·3H(2)O}(n), was synthesized by hydro-thermal methods. The structure contains one-dimensional coordination polymers in which two distinct Nd(III) atoms show different coordination modes. One is coordinated by four bidentate acrylate ligands, two of which bridge Nd(III) atoms, and by two O atoms from a further two bridging acrylate ligands. Th...

A new manganese(II) complex containing p-hydroxybenzoate and caffeine ligands, namely [Mn(OH-C6H4COO)2(H2O)4].2(C8H10N4O2).8H2O has been prepared. The synthesized complex has been characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, and m...
