A staggering structural diversity for the microsolvation of F- with up to six water molecules is uncovered in this work. Given the structural variety and the proximity in energy among several local minima, we show here that in order to match available experimental data, statistical averages over contributing structures are needed, rather than assigning experimental values to isolated structures...

We define the weighted Carleson measure space CMO w using wavelets, where the weight function w belongs to the Muckenhoupt class. Then we show that CMO w is the dual space of the weighted Hardy space H p w by using sequence spaces. As an application, we give a wavelet characterization of BMOw.

The (29)Si chemical shifts in a series of closely related Ru(II) silyl complexes have been calculated by DFT methods and compared to the experimental values. The factors that lead to possible discrepancies between experimental and calculated values have been identified. It is shown that it is necessary to include the spin-orbit coupling associated with the relativistic effects of the heavy atom...

The Tobacco CMO (Common Market Organization) is involved in a intense debate between the European tobacco industry and those who are against to a crop whose transformed product is dangerous to the health. European institutions have shown a strong interest in this complex issue introducing two Reforms (1992 and 1998) and one revision in 2004. This paper aims to analyse and investigate the socio-...

Results 42 children with HAIDS in age between 2 and 17 years were identified in 3 years. Age of onset ranged from 0 to 16 years, on an average 5.1 years old. The average age at diagnosis was 8.2 years old. The following diseases were identified: Behcet’s disease (BD) 16 children (male/female (M/F) 12/4); Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS): Muckle-Wells syndrome 4 (M/F 0/4 ); CINCA/N...

Methods A 5-year-old boy presented with a 1 year history of right leg pain with limited range of motion and difficulty in walking due to flexion, abduction and external rotation of right hip attitude. No fever. Plain radiographs were normal. In the blood test, elevation of acute phase reactants was detected: ESR 41 mm/h, CRP 2.27 mg/dL. A Whole Body MRI (WB-MRI) scan revealed osteitic multifoca...

Q fever is a common zoonosis worldwide. Awareness of the disease and newer diagnostic modalities have resulted in increasing recognition of unusual manifestations. We report 3 cases of Q fever osteomyelitis in children and review the literature on 11 other reported cases. The cases demonstrate that Coxiella burnetii can cause granulomatous osteomyelitis that presents without systemic symptoms a...

Background Chronic non-infectious osteitis (CNO), also known as Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis, is a noninfectious inflammatory osteopathy predominantly affecting children and adolescents. Diagnosis is often difficult as initial symptoms and clinical course can vary widely. CNO can result in significant morbidity. Treatment regimes are varied but bisphosphonate therapy with pamidron...
