Treatment of [N(n)Bu(4)][Os(VI)(N)Cl(4)] with a stoichiometric amount of H(2)L (L = N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-o-cyclohexylenediamine dianion) in the presence of PF(6)(-) or ClO(4)(-) in MeOH affords [Os(VI)(N)(L)(OH(2))](PF(6)) 1a and [Os(VI)(N)(L)(CH(3)OH)](ClO(4)) 1b, respectively. The structure of 1b has been determined by X-ray crystallography and the Os≡N bond distance is 1.627(3) Å. In the p...

The purpose of this study is twofold: to examine macro (calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus) and trace mineral (iron) concentration in oriental supplements (OS), and to define OS prevalence in elite athletes. Participants of this study were 928 varsity athletes (male: 680, female: 248) with 23 sports types. Recent 3-month dietary supplements (DS) and OS practice was surveyed during training peri...

OBJECTIVE Osteosarcoma (OS) is a malignant bone tumor with high morbidity in young adults and adolescents. This study aimed to discover potential early diagnosis biomarkers in OS. RESULTS In total, 111 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in primary OS compared with normal controls and 235 DEGs were identified in metastatic OS compared with primary OS. AURKB and PPP2R2B were ...

The argument is made on the basis of constraints that have the same functional basis, but distinct formal properties: ONSET and *ONSET/X (§2). If phonetic factors are projected directly onto phonological constraints, then the shared functional basis of these constraints should entail that they cannot be formally distinct. Specifically, the direct-phonetics model predicts that ONSET is actually ...

In this work we propose an unified method to compute image symmetries based on founding the minimum-variance partitions of the image that better describe its repetitive nature. Then we use an statistical measure of these partitions as symmetry score. The main idea is that the same measure can be used to score the others symmetries (rotation, reflection, glide reflection). Finally, a feature vec...

Software process is inherently cooperative. During its activities, developers work together in order to develop a quality product. Especially, project managers are involved in decision make activities that can drive the project to success or failure. Those activities are better performed by experienced people, when developers work cooperatively, and when knowledge is shared. In this paper, we p...

We consider m independent exponential servers in parallel, driven by the same deterministic input. This is a modification of the Flatto-Hahn-Wright model which turns out to be easily tractable. We focus on the time-stationary distribution of the number of customers which is obtained using the Palm inversion formula.
