manganese (?) complex with 2, 2? bipyridine, 1, 1? dioxide (bpdo) ligand was immobilized within nanoreactors of mcm-41. the immobilized complex was characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), nitrogen adsorption desorption, and ftir. the pore volume, surface area and pore diameter of mcm-41 decreased after immobilization of mn complex. three bands observed at 1250, 1220 cm?1 and 757 cm?1 a...

vo2+ and its complexes with ethylenediamine (en), acetylacetonate (acac), 2, 2’-bipyridine(bpy) ligands, immobilized within nanoreactors of al-mcm-41 designated as vo2+/al-mcm-41 or vol2/al-mcm-41, were prepared and characterized by x-ray powder diffraction (xrd), ft-ir, bet nitrogen adsorption-desorption and chemical analysis techniques. vo2+/al-mcm-41 and vol2/al-mcm-41 were found to catalyze...

background: dendritic cells (dc) induce tumor or pathogen-specific t cell responses in humans. several laboratories have developed culture systems, including maturation factors for human dc from peripheral blood monocytes. we comprehensively compared standard maturation stimulus, an autologous monocyte-conditioned medium (mcm), with heparin for their ability to promote uniformly mature dc that ...

The direct and indirect methods in solvent media and grinding method in a solvent-free media were used to prepare the MCM-41/ZnO and MCM-48/ZnO photocatalysts. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that zinc oxide nanoparticles were put into MCM-41 and MCM-48 substrates and there were ZnO crystallites as secondary phase in the extra framework of mesoporous materials. The decrease of surfa...

BACKGROUND Public concern about exposure to emissions from the regional industrial park (IP), including 17 chemical plants and the national industrial toxic waste site, initiated this study of the possible association between major congenital malformations (MCM) and residence near the IP in Israel's Southern District. METHODS The study was conducted during the period 1995-2000 and included 63...

Western equine encephalitis virus (WEEV) is a naturally occurring recombinant virus derived from ancestral Sindbis and Eastern equine encephalitis viruses. We previously showed that infection by WEEV isolates McMillan (McM) and IMP-181 (IMP) results in high (∼90-100%) and low (0%) mortality, respectively, in outbred CD-1 mice when virus is delivered by either subcutaneous or aerosol routes. How...

BACKGROUND There is a high prevalence of HIV/syphilis among male sex workers, but no formal study has ever been conducted focusing on male clients of male sex workers (MCM). A detailed investigation was thus called for, to determine the burden and sociobehavioral determinants of HIV and syphilis among these MCM in China. METHODS As part of a multicenter cross-sectional study, using respondent...

Blast furnace slag (BFS) was added into drilling fluid as a mud cake modifier (MCM) for the reuse of BFS. The effects of MCM on drilling fluid rheology and shear strength of cementformation interface (SSCFI) were evaluated. The experimental results showed that the optimized formula of the drilling fluid has 1.0 wt% MCM. The simulation results showed that SSCFI increased significantly with the a...

INTRODUCTION Limited data exist on the outcome of Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM), Dandy-Walker variant (DWV) and mega-cisterna magna (MCM). We report the first population-based study of posterior fossa anomalies from the northern region of England. METHODS Cases were identified from the Northern Congenital Abnormality Survey (NorCAS) and regional Fetal Medicine Unit databases for the period ...

This paper describes the system packaging of the processor cage for the IBM eServer z900. This server contains the world’s most complex multichip module (MCM), with a wiring length of 1 km and a maximum power of 1300 W on a glass-ceramic substrate. The z900 MCM contains 35 chips comprising the heart of the central electronic complex (CEC) of this server. This MCM was implemented using two diffe...
