A combined spectroscopic and computational approach has been used to study in detail the complexation between Ga(III) ARS solution. The NMR results revealed formation of four Ga(III)/ARS complexes, at pH 4, differing their metal:ligand stoichiometries or configuration, point a coordination mode through ligand positions C-1 C-9. For equimolar solutions, 1:1 [Ga(ARS)(H2O)4]+ complex was formed, w...

The pre-cold-frontal low-level jet within oceanic extratropical cyclones represents the lower-tropospheric component of a deeper corridor of concentrated water vapor transport in the cyclone warm sector. These corridors are referred to as atmospheric rivers (ARs) because they are narrow relative to their length scale and are responsible for most of the poleward water vapor transport at midlatit...

OBJECTIVE Symptoms of acute retroviral syndrome (ARS) may be used to identify patients with acute HIV-1 infection who seek care. ARS symptoms in African adults differ by region. We assessed whether reporting of ARS was associated with HIV-1 subtype in a multicentre African cohort study representing countries with predominant HIV-1 subtypes A, C, and D. METHODS ARS symptoms were assessed in ad...

INTRODUCTION The Department of Health and Human Services and Food and Drug Administration described guidelines for exception from informed consent (EFIC) research. These guidelines require community consultation (CC) events, which allow members of the community to understand the study, provide feedback and give advice. A real-time gauge of audience understanding would allow the speaker to modif...

In the last decade, many evolutionary computation (EC) algorithms with diversity enhancement have been proposed to solve large-scale optimization problems in big data era. Among them, social learning particle swarm (SLPSO) has shown good performance. However, as SLPSO uses different guidance information for particles maintain diversity, it often results slow convergence speed. Therefore, this a...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Uncomplicated acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) is most appropriately managed in an outpatient clinic setting. Some ARS patients present to emergency departments (EDs) for care. We investigates factors associated with ARS presentation to EDs versus outpatient settings. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS A total of 17,122,551 pediatric and adult patient visits from th...
