Antiperovskite structure compounds (X3AB, where X is an alkali cation and A B are anions) have the potential for highly correlated motion between a cluster anion on or site. This so-called “paddle-wheel” mechanism may be basis enhanced mobility in solid electrolytes. Through combined experiments modeling, first instance of double paddle-wheel mechanism, leading to fast sodium ion conduction ant...

We report two cases of poliomyelitis in which an anterolateral thigh myocutaneous free flap was harvested from the paralytic limb for oral reconstruction. We observed a decrease in the pedicle diameter of the anterolateral thigh flap, but the blood supply to the skin paddle was adequate.

Construction of large molecules that are amenable to design and functionalization is of primary current interest as it represents an important step in the achievement of molecular complexity.1-8 We believe that large porous molecules serve as intriguing initial objects in this direction since the openings to their voids may be useful in regulating the selective release and binding of smaller mo...

The title copper(II) complex, {(C27H37N2)[Cu4(CH3COO)8Cl]·3CH2Cl2} n , is a one-dimensional coordination polymer. The asymmetric unit is composed of a copper(II) tetra-acetate paddle-wheel complex, a Cl(-) anion situated on a twofold rotation axis, half a 1,3-bis-(2,6-diisoprop-ylphenyl)imidazolium cation (the whole mol-ecule being generated by twofold rotation symmetry) and one and a half of a...

A 3D cationic Zn(II) framework, based on Zn2(CO2)4 paddle-wheel secondary building units (SBUs) and Zn16(CO2)32 polyhedral supramolecular building blocks (SBBs), has been synthesized. At room temperature, the framework undergoes guest solvent triggered reversible structural transformation and concomitant Zn(II) to Cu(II) transmetalation in a single-crystal to single-crystal fashion.

The centrosymmetric binuclear Cu(II) title complex, [Cu(2)(C(8)H(7)O(3))(4)(CH(3)CN)(2)], has a paddle-wheel-type structure [Cu-Cu distance = 2.6433 (3) Å]. Each Cu(II) ion is coordin-ated by four O atoms from two 3-meth-oxy-benzoate ligands and one acetonitrile N atom in a square-pyramidal geometry.

This paper describes the ARPong, a Pong game with augmented reality interaction. It is proposed a method of paddle control using a simple webcam and markerless motion capture based on optical flow. Three algorithms are described to achieve better playability according to the environment, with no need of calibrating process.

This paper examines the possibility of using Artificial Neural Networks to control AI for simple computer games, specifically pong. Simple games have always been popular, but AI opponents have routines that are easily predictable. Ultimately, the methods attempted in this paper did not create Artificial Neural Net controllers capable of controlling the paddle to hit the ball reliably.

Piroxicam has two different crystalline forms (known as needle and cubic forms), that they are different in physicochemical properties such as biological solubility. In the current research, using Taguchi experimental design approach the influences of five operating variables on formation of the piroxicam polymorph shapes in recrystallization were studied. The variables include type of solvent,...
