This paper proposes a model of user-related factors that may impact one another and ISD success. The objective of this study was to analyze how these factors impact the ISD process and ultimately ISD success. This model can then be used by researchers to further explore these relationships and by managers to improve the likelihood of success by guiding the selection of users for ISD project tea...

We use the flux attractor equations to study IIB supergravity compactifications with ISD fluxes. We show that the attractor equations determine not just the values of moduli fields, but also the masses of those moduli and the gravitino. We then show that the flux attractor equations can be recast in terms of derivatives of a single generating function. We also find a simple expression for this ...

The Ni(II) atom in the title salt, [Ni(C₁₉H₁₆N₄O)₂](NO₃)₂, is N,N',O-chelated by two neutral Schiff base ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. One nitrate ion inter-acts with the metal atom indirectly, in an outer-sphere type of coordination, through N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds; the other nitrate ion does not engage in any inter-actions and is equally disordered over two positions in the crystal.

This study describes the relationship between nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, sodium nitroprusside, and carbonic anhydrase I, as well as the involvement of this carbonic anhydrase I in vasodilation. Two groups of coronary patients and a group of rabbits underwent treatment with the above-mentioned vasodilating drugs. The activity of red blood cell carbonic anhydrase was monitored and deter...

Background-Volume loading is commonly used to adjust preload and optimise cardiac output. It is difficult to monitor preload at the bedside because filling affects ventricular diastolic function and consequently end diastolic pressure, which is the variable used to monitor preload. Objective-To assess the effects of gradual volume loading on the different components of left ventricular diastoli...

In the title compound, {[Co(C(10)H(14)N(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](NO(3))(2)}(n), the Co(II) ion lies on an inversion center and is six-coordinated in an octa-hedral environment by four N atoms from four different 1,1'-butane-1,4-diyldiimidazole ligands and two O atoms from the two water mol-ecules. The Co(II) atoms are bridged by ligands, generating a two-dimensional (4,4)-network. Adjacent fishnet pla...

The central Co(II) ion in the title complex, [Co(C(16)H(19)N(5))(2)](NO(3))(2), is located on a twofold rotation axis and has a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination sphere. It is bonded to six N atoms from two 2-[bis-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)meth-yl]pyridine ligands. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O inter-actions.

In the title compound, {[Cu(C(10)H(14)N(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)](NO(3))(2)}(n), the Cu(II) ion lies on an inversion center and is six-coordinated in an octa-hedral environment by four N atoms from four different 1,1'-butane-1,4-diyldiimidazole ligands and two O atoms from the two water mol-ecules. Bridging by the ligands results in a ribbon structure. Adjacent ribbons are linked to the nitrate anions ...

Background: Nitric oxide (NO), a major chemical form of endothelium-derived relaxing factor and an important regulator of vascular tone, is released by endothelial cells. The role of NO is not restricted to the vascular system, and it participates in the regulation of renal hemodynamics and renal excretory function. There are increasing evidences indicating that the elevated levels of NO play a...
