MCSCF-MRMP2 and DFT calculations were performed in order to analyze the stability and geometrical parameters of some possible intermediates for the reactions Ru2+ + H2O2 and Ru(H2O)6 + H2O2. At MCSCF-MRMP2 level of calculation, the stability predicted for the RuO(H2O)5 suggests an energetic preference of the reaction Ru(H2O)6 + H2O2 toward the products involving this high-valence intermediate, ...

The thermal decomposition processes for metal complexes of nalidixic acid (NAL) viz: Co (NAL) OH , VO(NAL)2(H2O)3 , UO2 (NAL) 2(H2O)2 , Ru(NAL)2Cl(H2O) has been accomplished on the basis of TG, DTG and DTA studies, and the mechanism conforms to the stoichiometry of the complexes based on elemental analysis.

Four low-dimensional ytterbium(iii)-organic compounds through hydrothermal reactions of quinoline-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (2,3-H2qldc) and oxalic acid (H2ox) with Yb2O3, namely, [Yb(2,3-qldc)(ox)1/2(H2O)3·(H2O)4]n (1), [Yb(2,3-qldc)(ox)1/2(H2O)2·(H2O)2]n (2), [Yb(2,3-Hqldc)(ox)(H2O)2·(H2O)]n (3) and [Yb(2,3-Hqldc)(ox)(H2O)·(H2O)2]n (4), were first synthesized and characterized by elemental analys...

BACKGROUND Adaptive support ventilation (ASV) allows the clinician to set a maximum plateau pressure (PP) and automatically adjusts tidal volume to keep PP below the set maximum. METHODS ASV was compared to a fixed tidal volume of 6 ml/kg. ASV determined the respiratory rate and tidal volume based on its algorithms. Maximum airway pressure limit was 28 cm H2O in ASV. Six sets of lung mechanic...

A new photo excitation fast flow reactor system is constructed and used to investigate reactions of neutral TimOn clusters with H2O under visible (532 nm) light irradiation. Single photon ionization at 118 nm (10.5 eV) is used to detect neutral cluster distributions through time of flight mass spectrometry. TimOn clusters are generated through laser ablation of a titanium target in the presence...

BACKGROUND Endotracheal tube (ETT) cuffs create a seal to protect against secretion entry to the lungs. Cuff inflation currently is recommended at 20-30 cm H2O pressure. ETT designs have variable seal performance in bench studies using rigid tracheal models lacking the dynamic characteristics of the human trachea. We compared ETT designs within a new, biorealistic tracheal model to assess cuff ...

The synthesis and characterisation of five coordination polymers - Ni2(mip)2(H2O)8·2H2O (1), Zn6(mip)5(OH)2(H2O)4·7.4H2O (2), Zn6(mip)5(OH)2(H2O)2·4H2O (3), Mn(HMeOip)2 (4), and Mn3(tbip)2(Htbip)2(EtOH)2 (5) - are reported. Preliminary nitric oxide release data on compounds 2 and 3 are also given.

Metal complexes of tioconazole such as [Cu(nor)2(H2O)2], [Zn(nor)2(H2O)2], [Ni(nor)2(H2O)2].4H2O and [Fe(nor)2(H2O)Cl].5H2O have been synthesized and characterised by elemental analysis, IR, UV-Visibe, ESR, NMR, XRD spectrscopic techniques. Thermal analysis was studied by TGA, DSC method. Morphological studies were carried out by scanning electron microscopic method. DNA binding studies were ca...
