In this paper, we report the anisochrony of the fluorine atoms of a CHF₂ group when linked to a pyrazole ring. The pyrazole is part of (4S,7R)-7,8,8-trimethyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-2H-indazole also known as (4S,7R)-campho[2,3-c]pyrazole, which has two stereogenic centers. Gauge-Independent Atomic Orbital (GIAO)/Becke, 3-parameter, Lee-Yang-Parr (B3LYP)/6-311++G(d,f) calculated 19F chem...

Rheological behaviour of recycled sludge from a secondary clarifier of a municipal wastewater treatment plant was studied by using the rate controlled coaxial cylinder viscometer Rotovisko-Haake 20, system M5-osc., measuring device NV. The tests (hysteresis cycles) were performed under continuous flow conditions and following an ad hoc measurement protocol. Sludge shear stress versus shear rate...

We emphasize that standard quantum theory (SQT) is incomplete because it doesn’t describe what is experimentally observed, namely events, nor does it satisfactorily define the circumstances under which events may occur. Simple models are given (all of which have the same density matrix evolution) to illustrate schemes which claim to complete SQT. It is shown how the model based upon the Continu...

In two prospective, randomized multicenter double-blind studies with a dosage of either 250 mg given four times a day (study A) or 500 mg given two times a day (study B), the comparative efficacy and safety of cephalexin hydrochloride (LY061188; Keftab) and cephalexin monohydrate (Keflex) for treatment of skin and soft tissue infections were determined. In study A, 97 patients received cephalex...

Spherical pellets of antimony sulphide were dissolved in 1 molar sodium hydroxide solutions at different temperatures. It was found that the shrinking core with ash layer model could satisfactorily explain the dissolution process. Using this model it was found that initially the rate controlling step is a chemical reaction with activation energy of 10.2 kJ/mol. As the ash layer builds up, diffu...

Central equatorial Africa is deficient in long-term, ground-based measurements of rainfall; therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the accuracy of three high-resolution, satellite-based rainfall products in western Uganda for the 2001–10 period. The three products are African Rainfall Climatology, version 2 (ARC2); African Rainfall Estimation Algorithm, version 2 (RFE2); and 3B42 from th...

This is a study of the use of myocutaneous flaps by general surgeons in a district general hospital over a 5 year period, and shows that such work can be satisfactorily performed by general surgeons.

A 5 year old girl with systemic lupus erythematosus developed extensive thromboses at multiple sites. Coagulation screen confirmed presence of the lupus anticoagulant. She recovered satisfactorily on high dose steroids without the use of anticoagulant treatment.
