During the formation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metal centres can coordinate with the intended organic linkers, but also with solvent molecules. In this case, subsequent activation by removal of the solvent molecules creates unsaturated 'open' metal sites known to have a strong affinity for CO(2) molecules, but their interactions are still poorly understood. Common force fields typical...

BACKGROUND Glaucoma is an important cause of blindness. OBJECTIVE To report the distribution of various types of glaucoma among patients presenting to a tertiary eye hospital in Nepal. MATERIALS AND METHODS All new patients visiting the hospital between March 2007 and February 2008 underwent a comprehensive eye examination. Whenever glaucoma was suspected, patients were referred to fellowsh...

The Crystallography Open Database (COD), which is a project that aims to gather all available inorganic, metal-organic and small organic molecule structural data in one database, is described. The database adopts an open-access model. The COD currently contains ∼80 000 entries in crystallographic information file format, with nearly full coverage of the International Union of Crystallography pu...

improve the procedure, and it may be that we shall also have to change some of our concepts. But the chief purpose of this paper will be fulfilled even if the hypothesis and the calculations which I have presented are erroneous, for my principal aim is to show that an efficient prevention of glaucomatous field damage is only possible by a quantitative determination of visual field sensitivity a...

A comparative study of the effectiveness of Watson's and Cairns's trabeculectomy in a Black South African population with open-angle glaucoma is presented. The eventual success rate of 91-6% is comparable with that found in Whites, and the results were similar with both methods.
