BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Standard techniques of laparoscopic access involve creating an abdominal wall defect and can result in complications. We describe the umbilical ring easy kannula access (UREKA) technique, evaluating safety and a decrease in complications related to port placement. METHODS UREKA is performed via a supra- or infraumbilical incision followed by circumferential dissectio...

Reaction of UO2I2(THF)3 with 1 molar equivalent of KC5R5 (R = H, Me) in pyridine led to the uranyl(V) compound {[UO2(Py)5][KI2(Py)2]}(infinity), which is an infinite 1D polymer in its crystalline form; the UO2X(THF)n (X = I, OSO2CF3) complexes were obtained by reduction of their U(VI) parents with TlC5H5 or KC5R5 in THF.

The vision of the Semantic Web community is to create a linked “Web of data” providing ubiquitous data access via machine understandable links between data resources. Due to the need of enormous expertise for producing and consuming linked data, the idea of linked data emerges only slowly and only a few data sources are currently available as linked data. In this paper we present Loomp to facil...
