Systematic explorations of new phases in the Ag(I)-Ti(IV)/V(V)/Mo(VI)-iodate systems led to four new quaternary silver iodates, namely, Ag(2)Ti(IO(3))(6), Ag(2)(VO(2))(IO(3))(3), Ag(2)(V(2)O(4))(IO(3))(4), and Ag(2)(MoO(2))(IO(3))(4). They represent the first examples of silver iodates containing d(0) transition metal cations. Ag(2)Ti(IO(3))(6) is isostructural with K(2)Ti(IO(3))(6) and its str...

Background: The objective of the current study was to determine the effect of activation of injected oocytes with dithiothreitol on development of ovine embryos derived from in vitro-matured oocytes and intracytoplasmic sperm.The injected oocytes with non-treated sperm were activated with 1) ionomycin (Io) + 6-dimethylaminopurine (6-DMAP) 2) DTT, 3) DTT+ ionomycin (I)+6-DMAP. Materials and Meth...

PetaScale computing platforms need to be coupled with efficient IO subsystems that can deliver commensurate IO throughput to scientific applications. In order to gain insights into the deliverable IO efficiency on the Cray XT platform at ORNL, this paper presents an in-depth efficiency evaluation of its parallel IO software stack. Our evaluation covers the performance of a variety of parallel I...

INTRODUCTION The current guidelines of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) stipulate that an intraosseous access should be placed if establishing a peripheral venous access for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) would involve delays. The aim of this study was therefore to compare a manual intraosseous infusion technique (MAN-IO) and a semi-automatic intraosseous infusion system (EZ-IO) us...

3D Isodoselines innovation with Interior Optimization (IO) for prostate tumor BED model hyperfractionated Treatment Planning (TPO) application is further demonstrated. The implemented data was got additional-dual constrained evolutionary algorithm BED-LQ (Biological Effective Dose) in this cancer type. Results TPO IO-Graphical show a number of surfactal IO proven accuracy-feasibility the novelt...

Systematic explorations of new compounds in the La(3+)-V(4+)/V(5+)-iodate system led to three new lanthanum(III) vanadium iodates, namely, LaVO(IO(3))(5), LaV(2)O(6)(IO(3)), and LaVO(2)(IO(3))(4).H(2)O. LaVO(IO(3))(5) is isostructural with LaTiO(IO(3))(5) and its structure contains a 0D [VO(IO(3))(5)](3-) anionic unit composed of one VO(6) octahedron linked to five IO(3)(-) groups. Such 0D anio...
