The title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(18)H(32)N)], was synthesized by the amination of ferrocenecarbaldehyde. In the complex, the two cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) rings are almost parallel with a dihedral angle of 1.36 (8)°, and are separated by a centroid-centroid distance of 3.299 (2) Å. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked into a one-dimensional supra-molecular structure via weak C-H⋯π in...

The title iron(II) complex, [Fe(C16H12NO2)2], crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic space group Pbca with the Fe(2+) cation positioned on an inversion center. The cyclo-penta-dienyl (Cp) rings adopt an anti conformation in contrast with other substituted ferrocenes in which the Cp rings appear in a nearly eclipsed conformation. The Cp and the aromatic rings are positioned out of the plane, with a ...

We propose a cross polarization (CP) sequence effective under magic-angle spinning (MAS) which is tolerant to RF field inhomogeneity and Hartmann-Hahn mismatch. Its key feature is that spin locking is not used, as CP occurs among the longitudinal (Z) magnetizations modulated by the combination of two pulses with the opposite phases. We show that, by changing the phases of the pulse pairs synchr...

Calcaneal lengthening (CL) is one of the treatment options for planovalgus deformity in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). However, its indication still needs to be clarified according to the functional status of CP. The aim of this study was to investigate the radiographic outcome after CL in patients with CP and to evaluate the risk factors causing undercorrection of planovalgus deformities. ...

We present a simple isospin invariant parametrization for (B → Kπ) decay amplitudes which consistently includes CP violation and (quasi-elastic) hadronic final state interactions. We find that the observed (B → Kπ) decays do not lead to a significant bound on the angle γ of the unitarity triangle. On the other hand, we claim that a sizeable CP violation asymmetry in (B± → Kπ±) rates is by no me...

We compute CP asymmetries of one-particle inclusive B0 s → DsX decay rates. We find that the weak angle γ could in principle be extracted from these asymmetries although they are very small. Taking the decay width difference into account, we find that the time integrated CP asymmetries are of the order A = 1.4 10−4 sin(γ). Some large uncertainties remain due to the lack of experimental data. PA...

Assuming three-neutrino mixing and massive Majorana neutrinos, we study the implications of the neutrino oscillation solutions of the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems and of the results of the CHOOZ experiment for the predictions of the effective Majorana mass in neutrinoless double beta ((ββ) 0ν-)decay, |< m >|. The general case of CP-nonconservation is investigated. The predicted value...

OBJECTIVE This research was designed to investigate the effects of low pressure radio-frequency (RF) oxygen plasma treatment (OPT) on the surface of commercially pure titanium (CP-Ti) and Ti6Al4V. Surface topography, elemental composition, water contact angle, cell viability, and cell morphology were surveyed to evaluate the biocompatibility of titanium samples with different lengths of OP trea...
