The structure of the title complex, [Na(2)(C(80)H(98)N(4)O(10)S(2))(H(2)O)]·4CH(3)CN, obtained after crystallization from aceto-nitrile, contains two formula units in the asymmetric unit (Z' = 2) and an estimated four mol-ecules of acetonitrile per calixarene moiety. It is unusual for two Na(+) ions to occupy the lower rims of the cone calix[4]arene, as in this case, with one Na(+) ion forming ...

The ciecam02 colour appearance model was developed to allow prediction of accurate colour appearance under various viewing conditions. In this study, a software module, based on mathematical transformations of the ciecam02 model, was designed and implemented. Unlike the previous software modules, which were allowing use of only a limited choice of common standardized icc display profiles, the d...

In the title compound, C(17)H(15)N(3)O(6)S, which crystallized with highly disordered methanol and/or water solvent mol-ecules, the dihedral angle between the the indole and benzene ring systems is 5.3 (2)°, which allows for the formation of intra-molecular π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid separations = 3.641 (3) and 3.694 (3) Å] and an approximate overall U-shape for the mol-ecule...

In the title compound, C(9)H(11)N(3)O, the benzene ring is disordered over two positions with refined occupancies of 0.922 (5) and 0.078 (5). The program PLATON [Spek (2009 ▶). Acta Cryst. D65, 148-155] recommends the solution in the space group C2/m with a = 7.3050 (3), b = 6.6745 (2), c = 18.3853 (6) Å and β = 96.986 (2)°. However, the large number of non-extinct reflections needed to be igno...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C21H15Cl2N5O4, contains two independent mol-ecules (A and B) having similar conformations. The amine (NH2) group forms an intra-molecular hydrogen bond with the benzoyl group, giving an S(6) ring motif in both mol-ecules. The central six-membered rings adopt sofa conformations and the imidazole rings are planar (r.m.s deviations = 0.0150 and 0.0166 Å)....

The chromaticities of natural daylights cluster around the blackbody locus. We investigated whether the mechanisms that mediate human color constancy embody this statistical regularity of the natural environment, so that constancy is best when the illuminant change is one likely to occur. Observers viewed scenes displayed on a CRT-based stereoscope and adjusted a test patch embedded in the scen...

PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of concurrent trastuzumab on the cardiotoxicity in patients receiving left-sided adjuvant radiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Medical records of stage I-III left-sided breast cancer patients, including 64 receiving concurrent trastuzumab with radiotherapy and 73 receiving radiotherapy alone were retrospectively reviewed. All of the patients had normal LVEF af...

We investigate design and estimation issues for using the standard color management profile architecture for general custom image enhancement. Color management profiles are a flexible architecture for describing a mapping from an original colorspace to a new colorspace. We investigate use of this same architecture for describing color enhancements that could be defined by a non-technical user u...

In this paper, the spectral dimensions of two sets of samples including 457 black and 84 white fabrics are compared. White fabrics are treated with variety of fluorescent whitening agents and the blacks are fabrics that dyed with different combinations of suitable dyes and pigments. In this way, the reflectance spectra of blacks as well as the total radiance factors of whites are compressed in ...
