The mercury(II) complex of 2,2'-(5-tert-butyl-1,3-phenyl-ene)bis-(1-pentyl-1H-benz-imidazole), namely catena-poly[[dihalogenido-mercury(II)]-μ-2,2'-(5-tert-butyl-1,3-phenyl-ene)bis-(1-pentyl-1H-benzimidazole)-κ2N3:N3'], [HgBr1.52Cl0.48(C34H42N4)], 2, has a polymeric structure bridging via the N atoms from the benzimidazole moieties of the ligand. The compound crystallizes in the ortho-rhom-bic ...

The concern about enhancing the productivity of Salitre phosphate mines has led to an extensive research and development program on new reagents, aimed at sustainable processing ore, with greater production concentrate and, consequently, less waste disposal in tailings dam. Flotation is most widely applied technique for rocks, using mainly fatty acids their salts as collectors. In partnership B...

Pacific white leg shrimp were stocked (150 PL m-3) into one of four plastic-lined 1000 m3 (0.1 ha) ponds. Ponds randomly fed two diets in duplicate: a commercial feed (Grobest® Vista Eco), or an open formula, experimental, fishmeal and fish oil-free diet (F3). Shrimp by hand automatic feeders using tables for 56 days. Sub-samples (n = 50) weighed weekly from each pond to evaluate growth adjust ...

An important factor in the stability and quality of gels during production, storage use as part confectionery culinary products is their heat resistance, which depends on ingredient composition content dry substances. The article devoted to thermogravimetric analysis agar-based hydrogels combination with honey sesame flour for production bars. study consisted two stages. At first, experimental ...

In this paper we consider the labor constrained scheduling problem (LCSP), in which a set of jobs to be processed is subject to precedence and labor requirement constraints. Each job has a speciied processing time and a labor requirements proole, which typically varies as the job is processed. Given the amount of labor available at each period, the problem consists in determining starting times...

The paper delivers the main findings of a research project we recently completed on the relationship between the use of foresight and the design of firm business strategy, which is intrinsically linked with a “foresight” analysis about the future of the industry in which the firm competes. Today many companies, in all industries, continuously monitor the emerging technologies and investigate th...

Bed bugs are resurging throughout the world, and, thus, effective pest control strategies are constantly needed. A few studies have evaluated 25(b) and other natural, or so-called "green" products, as well as over-the-counter insecticides for bed bugs, but additional studies are needed to determine efficacy of bed bug control products. This double-blinded research project was initiated to exami...

A total of 350 weanling pigs (200 × 400, DNA; initially, 12.5 ± 0.3 lb BW) were used in a 42-d study with 5 per pen and 14 replicate pens treatment. At weaning, allotted to completely randomized design randomly assigned one five dietary treatments: 1) negative control (standard nursery diet no additives); 2) 3,000 ppm ZnO included phase 1 2,000 2; 3) 0.7% formic acid (Amasil NA, BASF, Florham, ...

While working and living coexisted in the historical city, functions are separated Modernist city. Recently, idea of connected urban districts with short distances attractive work spaces have received renewed attention from companies planners alike, as soft site factors, tacit knowledge, local production gaining importance. In this article we focus on development multi-national company sites ec...
