The τ-boride Ni(23-x)Bi(x)B(6) [x = 2.44 (1)] adopts a ternary variant of the cubic Cr(23)C(6)-type structure, with Ni(8) cubes and Ni(12) cubocta-hedra arranged in a NaCl-type pattern. Two of the four independent metal sites (8c, 3m symmetry; 4a, mm symmetry) are occupied by a mixture of Ni and Bi atoms in a 0.106 (6):0.894 (6) and a 0.350 (7):0.650 (7) ratio, respectively.

Past work has demonstrated that people's moral judgments can influence their judgments in a number of domains that might seem to involve straightforward matters of fact, including judgments about freedom, causation, the doing/allowing distinction, and intentional action. The present studies explore whether the effect of morality in these four domains can be explained by changes in the relevance...

Structures of higher coordinate onium-boronium dications (X(+)BH(3)+ 1-4a and X(+)BH(5)+ 1-4d; X = NH(3), PH(3), H(2)O, and H(2)S) were calculated by using the ab initio method at the MP2/6-311+G** level. All of the dications 1-4a contain a four-coordinate boron atom with a three-center two-electron bond involving boron and two hydrogens. On the other hand, all the dications 1-4d contain a six-...

Reaction of the benzene-1,3,5-trisimidazolium salt H3-1(Br)3 with [Rh(Cp*)(Cl)2]2 results in the formation of the dinuclear, doubly orthometalated complex [2]Br, which yields, depending on the metal source provided, either a triply orthometalated heterotrimetallic Rh2/Ir complex [3] or trinuclear heterotrimetallic Rh2/Au complexes of types [4a] or [4b].

BACKGROUND Information on the position of the mental foramen is important for dental surgeons. Variations in its position can be a cause of complications during local anesthesia or surgical procedures. The usual position of the mental foramen in an Iranian population has not been previously reported. AIMS The purpose of this study was to determine the most common location of the mental forame...

A two-dimensional finite element model of a mandibular quadrant was used to examine differences in magnitude of the principal stresses from the placement of three- and four-unit bridges. The area of interest spanned the first premolar to the second molar. Loading conditions were (i) vertical and distributed and (ii) 30 degrees to the vertical and concentrated. The principal stresses were calcul...

OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE Over the years, the effects of the third molars eruption on the dental arches have been studied extensively. Still, literature provides less data regarding the effects of the orthodontic treatment on the third molars position. The aim of our study was to assess the positional changes of the third molars relative to the occlusal plane and to the second molar long axis, ch...
