The title compound, [Sn(C4H9)2(CH3COO)2], was synthesized in order to study the influence of large organic groups on the mol-ecular structure of diorganotin di-acetates. The title compound exhibits the same structure type as other diorganotin(IV) di-acetates characterized by an unsymmetrical bidentate bonding mode of the two acetate groups to tin. The influence of the t-butyl groups on this mol...

Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) is a common cause of acute renal impairment, characterized by the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the interstitium of the kidney. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 19 acute TIN patients attended to our Pediatric Nephrology department between April 1999 and April 2014. Nineteen patients (7 boys and 12 girls) were evaluated. The medi...

Tin content in samples of canned fruits and vegetables was determined by hydride generation inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (HG-ICP-OES), and it was compared with results obtained by standard method of flame atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS). Selected tin emission lines intensity was measured in prepared samples after addition of tartaric acid and followed by hydride ...

Flash memory using a dual phase TiO(x)N(y)/TiN charge trapping layer has been fabricated and its electrical properties were investigated. The TiO(x)N(y)/TiN layer was formed by partial oxidation of a pre-deposited TiN layer, and the formation of TiO(x)N(y)/SiO(x)N(y) was confirmed by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spect...

Tin platings on component finishes may grow whiskers under certain conditions, which may cause failures in electronic equipment. Although the thermal mismatch of tin and FeNi42 is well known and tin whiskers have been reported after thermal cycling of this material combination, no systematic investigation on the effects of thermal cycling is available. In this paper we describe the influence of...

Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA). Whilst asymptomatic distal tubular acidosis (DTA) is the commonest renal lesion reported in PBC, tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) has also been reported as a rare association. Although PBC could be a familial disorder, there have been no previous reports of familial c...

Muffin-tin potentials are the standard tool for calculating the potential surface of a cluster of atoms for use in the analysis of extended X-ray absorption fine-structure (EXAFS) data. The set of Cartesian coordinates used to define the positions of atoms in the cluster and to calculate the muffin-tin potentials is commonly also used to enumerate the scattering paths used in the EXAFS data ana...

Aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate is inhibited by adenosine as well as by adenosine mono- and triphosphate. Thrombin-induced aggregation is also inhibited by adenosine and the monophosphate, but the triphosphate at a similar concentration is not inhibitory. Aggregation induced by tri-ethyl tin is accelerated by a critical concentration of triphosphate and delayed by a higher concentr...
