Triamidoamine-supported zirconium complexes have been demonstrated to catalyze a range of bond-forming events utilizing arsines. Three different mechanisms have been observed in these reactions. In the first mechanism, triamidoamine-supported zirconium complexes of the general type (N3N)ZrX (N3N =N(CH2CH2NSiMe3)33-; X = monoanionic ligand) catalyzed the dehydrogenative dimerization of diphenyla...

Plasma treatment of contaminated water appears to be a promising alternative for the oxidation of aqueous organic pollutants. This study examines the kinetic and oxidation mechanisms of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) in a dense medium plasma (DMP) reactor utilizing gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-thermal conductivity techniques. A rate law is developed for the remova...

Constructing an effective process module is groundwork for product development process optimization. This paper imposes an activity/process based modeling idea which supports the integrated management and optimization of process development process. This idea uses the activity/process as the modeling basic cell. At first, the activity/process based PDP modeling theory is studied; Second, the pr...

Tests were performed with the freshwater invertebrates Hyalella azteca, Chironomus tentans, and Lumbriculus variegatus to determine the acute toxicity of six phthalate esters, including dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), butylbenzyl phthalate (BBP), di-n-hexyl phthalate (DHP), and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP). It was possible to derive 10-d LC50 (...

Recent events suggest that uncertainty changes play a major role in U.S. labor market fluctuations. This study analyzes the impact of shocks on unemployment dynamics. We develop quantitative version Diamond–Mortensen–Pissarides (DMP) model, which hit economy. Given significant nonlinearities DMP we show introduction allows this textbook model to account for observed characteristics dynamics, wi...

Disease-Management-Programme (DMP) sind strukturierte Behandlungsprogramme für chronisch Kranke. Der Gemeinsame Bundesausschuss (G-BA) hat dabei die Aufgabe, chronische Erkrankungen auszuwählen, sich ein DMP eignen, und inhaltlichen Anforderungen an solche Programme genauer zu bestimmen. Dabei stützt er auf den aktuellen Stand der medizinischen Wissenschaft, jeweils nach Prinzipien evidenzbasie...

Evanescent wave cavity ring-down absorption spectroscopy is applied to measure the thermodynamic properties of the surface adsorption for neutral trans-4-[4-(dibutylamino)styryl]-1-(3-sulfopropyl) pyridinium (DP) and charged trans-4-[4-(dibutylamino)styryl]-1-methylpyridinium iodide (DMP+ I-) at the silica/CH3CN interface, where the interfacial density is determined by measurement of absorbance...

Introduction: Dentinogenesis is regulated by cytokines and growth factors, and modulated by alterations in the extracellular microenvironment. Dental matrix protein-1 (DMP-1), which is predominantly expressed in odontoblasts, is required during the early and late stages of odontogenesis. In the present study, we examined the involvement of proinflammatory cytokines in the expression of odontoge...

OBJECTIVE With the introduction of diabetes disease management programs (DMPs) in Germany, there is a necessity to evaluate whether patients receive care that is congruent to the Chronic Care Model (CCM) and evidence-based behavioral counseling. We examined differences as perceived and experienced by patients with type 2 diabetes between those enrolled in a DMP compared with patients receiving ...

Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) have important functions in regulation of motor activity in the gastrointestinal tract. In murine small intestine, ICC are gathered in the regions of the myenteric plexus (ICC-MY) and the deep muscular plexus (ICC-DMP). These two classes of ICC have different physiological functions. ICC-MY are pacemaker cells and generate the slow-wave electrical rhythmicity o...
