BACKGROUND Numerous cross-sectional studies of school-age children have observed that exposure to manganese (Mn) adversely affects neurodevelopment. However, few prospective studies have looked at the effects of both prenatal and postnatal Mn exposure on child neurodevelopment. METHODS We measured Mn levels in prenatal and early postnatal dentine of shed teeth and examined their association w...

   In the present work Mn3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) with spinel structure were synthesized successfully via combustion route with MnIII(acac)3 as precursor in two different temperatures. The morphology of the synthesized Mn3O4 were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and structural analysis was studied by po...

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in steels of multi-phase structures, composed of a ferritic matrix, in which islets occur, that contain bainite-B, martensite-M and the untransformed austenite-A 1-9 . The multi-phase structure of steel with untransformed austenite promotes the increase of plasticity induced by the phase transformation – the TRIP effect 3-4, 6-8 . In steels con...

In some Bacillus species, manganese levels influence the resistance properties of spores. To determine if this was true for Bacillus cereus, bacteria were sporulated with different MnCl2 concentrations resulting in spores with 30-fold differences in core Mn 2+ levels. Spores with different Mn 2+ levels displayed no differences in resistance to dry heat, UV radiation, γ-radiation, or hydrogen pe...

We introduce a construction of a uniform measure over a functional class B which is similar to a Besov class with smoothness index r. We then consider the problem of approximating B using a manifold Mn which consists of all linear manifolds spanned by n ridge functions, i.e., Mn=[ i=1 gi(ai } x) : ai # S , gi # L2([&1, 1])], x # Bd. It is proved that for some subset A/Br of probabilistic measur...

Given strings A = a1a2 . . . am and B = b1b2 . . . bn over a finite alphabet Σ ⊂ Z of size O(σ), and a distance d() defined among strings, the transposition invariant version of d() is d t(A,B) = mint∈Z d(A+t, B), where A+t = (a1+t)(a2+t) . . . (am+t). Distances d() of most interest are Levenshtein distance and indel distance (the dual of the Longest Common Subsequence), which can be computed i...

The comproportionation reaction between Mn(II) and Mn(VII) reagents under acidic conditions has been investigated in the presence of pivalic acid as a route to new high oxidation state manganese pivalate clusters containing some Mn(IV). The reaction of Mn(O(2)CBu(t))(2) and NBu(n)(4)MnO(4) with an excess of pivalic acid in the presence of Mn(ClO(4))(2) and NBu(n)(4)Cl in hot MeCN led to the iso...

It is proved that a discrete group G is exact if and only if its left translation action on the Stone-Čech compactification is amenable. Combining this with an unpublished result of Gromov, we have the existence of non exact discrete groups. In [KW], Kirchberg and Wassermann discussed exactness for groups. A discrete group G is said to be exact if its reduced group C-algebra C λ(G) is exact. Th...
