In a multi-tenant data center, nodes and links of tenants’ virtual networks (VNs) share a single component of the physical substrate network (SN). The failure of a single SN component can thereby cause the simultaneous failures of multiple nodes and links in a single VN; this complex of failures must significantly disrupt the services offered on the VN. In the present paper, we clarify how the ...

Ribonucleases play important roles in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway. The Dicer endonuclease converts double-stranded (ds)RNA into small interfering (si)RNA and the Slicer endonuclease, as a component of the RNA induced silencing complex (RISC), cleaves mRNA. Tudor staphylococcal nuclease (Tudor-SN) is another component of RISC in humans, flies and nematodes and is therefore implicated in ...

A novel tri-n-butyl(IV) derivative of 2-thiobarbituric acid (HTBA) of formula [(n-Bu)(3)Sn(TBA) H(2)O] (1) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and (119)Sn-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structure of complex 1 has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis at 120(2) K. The geometry around Sn(IV) is trigonal bipyramidal. Three n-buty...

In the title complex, [Sn(C(17)H(10)ClNO(2))Cl(2)(CH(3)OH)], the Sn(IV) atom features a distorted octa-hedral geometry defined by the O,N,O'-donors of the dianion, two Cl atoms and the methanol O atom. The six-membered chelate ring has a half-chair conformation with the Sn atom lying 0.449 (4) Å out of the plane defined by the remaining atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0238 Å). Supra-molecular helic...

In the title complex, [Sn(2)(C(7)H(7))(4)(C(10)H(8)N(2)O(3))(2)(C(2)H(5)OH)(2)], the Sn(IV) atom is seven-coordinated in a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal geometry by three O atoms and one N atom from the pyruvate benzoyl hydrazone ligand, one ethanol O atom and two axial C atoms from trans-benzyl groups, thus forming a dimeric mol-ecule ([Formula: see text] symmetry) via weak Sn-O inter-acti...

Complexes (THF)0-2E[P3Nb(ODipp)3]2 (E = Sn, Pb; Dipp = 2,6-(i)Pr2C6H3) were isolated (>90%) from the salt metathesis of [Na(THF)3][P3Nb(ODipp)3] with E(2+) salts. The reaction of (THF)Sn[P3Nb(ODipp)3]2 with pyridine-N-oxide was investigated as a method to deposit a new SnP6 phase. Additionally, the neutral complex P3Nb(ODipp)2(py)2 (py = pyridine) was prepared from [Na(THF)3][P3Nb(ODipp)3] in t...

These bounds result in IXkl < v'Na, k = 0,1 N — 1. With scaling by 1/N. and the requirement that the output magnitude be less than one, a = i//. However, this is not the tightest bound on the real and imaginary components of the input data. It can be shown that the magnitudes of the real and imaginary parts of the output of the complex DFT are bounded by NaSN. For N a multiple of 4. — 4cos(r/N)...

Microsomal membrane preparations from Mortierella alpina catalysed the conversion of sn-glycerol 3-phosphate and [(14)C]oleoyl-CoA to radioactive phosphatidic acid, diacylglycerol and triacylglycerol. Experiments with lysophosphatidic acid and [(14)C]oleoyl-CoA gave a similar pattern of radioactivity in the complex lipids. The specific activity of lysophosphatidate acyltransferase was almost ei...

For the realization of modern integrated circuits new interconnect structures like through-silicon-vias and solder bumps, together with complex multilevel 3D interconnect structures are gaining importance. The application of these new structures unavoidably rises different reliability issues like thermal gradients, electromigration, and stressmigration. In this paper we apply state-of-the art T...

In the title mononuclear complex, [Sn(CH(3))(3)(C(7)H(5)N(2)O(6))(C(2)H(6)OS)], the Sn(IV) ion is coordinated by three methyl groups in the equatorial plane, and by an O atom from a 2-methyl-3,5-dinitrobenzoate ligand and a dimethyl sulfoxide ligand in the axial sites, to form a slightly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal environment. The O atoms of one of the nitro groups are disordered over two s...
