Endogenously produced, diffusible redox mediators can act as electron shuttles for bacterial respiration. Accordingly, the mediators also serve a critical role in microbial fuel cells (MFCs), as they assist extracellular electron transfer from the bacteria to the anode serving as the intermediate electron sink. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) may be a valuable tool for evaluating t...

There is little information available to assist practitioners regarding the question of how to minimize the risk of executive information system (EIS) failure (e.g. Watson et al., 1991; Zmud, 1993). A system that provides on-line, summarized and graphical information about a business is desired by many decision makers, but attempts to deliver this type of system have often proved dif® cult (Rec...

In this book, Mark Pendergrast, a journalist by training, tries to present a comprehensive history of the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS). He successfully tells the stories of the elite group, but in attempting to cover so many of the outbreaks in which they have been involved, he loses the essence of their story. Some of the outbreaks clearly have more detail than others. The story of the ...

Isomerically pure nitrile complexes eis­ [Ru(dppm)zCI(NCRW (2a-d) are formed upon chloride displacement from eis-[Ru(dppm)ZChJ (1) or, alternatively, by ligand substitution from the acetonitrile complex 2a. This latter approach does also allow for the introduction of pyri­ dine (3 a,b), heptamethyldisilazane (4) or isonitrile ligands (5). All complexes are obtained as the configurationally stab...

Z. Naturforsch. 34b, 569-572 (1979); received December 27, 1978 Triphenylphosphazenyl Derivatives, Preparation, Characterization Reaction of the ring systems NPC12(NS0X)2 and (NPC12)2NS0X (X = F, Cl, Ph) with HNPPI13 in molar ratio 1:2 gives their mono(tripbenylphosphazenyl) derivatives. The compound NPCl(NPPh3)(NSOPh)2 forms a stable 1:1 adduct with acetonitrile. All compounds are characterize...

The impact of IT networks and electronic information services and sources on academic information users is potentially enormous, and permeates all of the arenas of research, teaching, publishing and communication. The change provoked by the emergence of electronic information services (EIS), is only one of many changes taking place in higher education, which affect the nature of academic jobs a...
