In this paper, synthesis, single-crystal X-ray structure, Hirshfeld and DFT studies of 1,8-dichloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracene-11-carboxylic acid are discussed. Different intermolecular contacts affecting the crystal stability studied using calculations. The H…Cl O…H most significant, showing corresponding interaction distances 2.731 Å (Cl2…H10) 1.681Å (H1…O1), 2.328 (O1…H13), 2.510 (O1...

BACKGROUND Orthostatic tremor (OT) is a high-frequency tremor (13-18 Hz) present in the legs when standing. Underlying disease is found in one-third of OT patients. CASE REPORT We describe an 86-year-old man with progressive shaking of the legs while standing, which disappears immediately after sitting down or while walking. Polymyography confirmed a tremor of the legs (10-11 Hz) while standi...

Four food types held hot at 45 to 60 degrees C were deliberately contaminated with O1 and non-O1 Vibrio cholerae strains. These organisms were assayed for survival and recovery from the foods within 1 h of the time the food was kept hot. The results showed no growth of V. cholerae non-O1 on thiosulfate-citrate bile-sucrose agar plates after 24 h of incubation at 37 degrees C for food held hot a...

Inter-individual differences in cognitive performance are based on an efficient use of task-related brain resources. However, little is known yet on how these differences might be reflected on resting-state brain networks. Here we used Magnetoencephalography resting-state recordings to assess the relationship between a behavioral measurement of verbal working memory and functional connectivity ...

pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione can be applicable as useful pigments. One of them, 3,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)pyrrolo[3,4c]pyrrole-1,4-dione, is now on the market. Several structural studies have been undertaken on compounds consisting of this choromophore system.1 Most of them have aromatic substituents at the 3 positions of the chromophore and no large substituents at the nitrogen atom. In order ...

Myosins are encoded by multigene families and are involved in many basic biological processes. However, their functions in plants remain poorly understood. Here, we report the functional characterization of maize (Zea mays) opaque1 (o1), which encodes a myosin XI protein. o1 is a classic maize seed mutant with an opaque endosperm phenotype but a normal zein protein content. Compared with the wi...

background: cholera, an infectious disease caused by vibrio cholerae , is primarily transmitted by ingestion of contaminated food or water. in severe cases, cholera may lead to severe dehydration, metabolic acidosis, and ultimately, hypovolemic shock and death.   methods: in this study v.cholerae non-o1 was cultured in suitable media. lps was extracted from the surface of  bacteria by hot pheno...
