The title compound, (C(24)H(20)P)(2)[MnI(4)]·(CH(3))(2)CO, prepared from the reaction of manganese powder, iodine and tetra-phenyl-phospho-nium iodide in acetone shows a tetra-hedral complex anion [Mn-I = 2.6868 (5)-2.7281 (4) Å and I-Mn-I = 104.011 (13)-116.164 (15)°], two tetra-phenyl-phospho-nium cations and one mol-ecule of acetone.

The amount of Ni produced in type Ia supernova (SN Ia) explosion is probably the most important physical parameter underlying the observed correlation of SN Ia luminosities with their light curves. Based on an empirical relation between the Ni mass and the light curve parameter △m15, we roughly determined the Ni mass for a large sample of nearby SNe Ia with the aim of exploring SN Ia diversity....

It has been suggested that the human C1qRp is a receptor for the complement component C1q; however, there is no direct evidence for an interaction between C1q and C1qRp. In this study, we demonstrate that C1q does not show enhanced binding to C1qRp-transfected cells compared with control cells. Furthermore, a soluble recombinant C1qRp-Fc chimera failed to interact with immobilized C1q. The prop...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare manual needle irrigation (MNI), RinsEndo (RE), and passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), and assess the effect of gravity on extrusion from the apex in vitro. MATERIAL AND METHODS The distobuccal roots of molars were used and the canals were instrumented up to F2. Teeth were mounted on models, which permitted visualization and manipulation of the...

The overall purpose of the paper is overcoming misunderstanding “naturalness” attribute materials. This due to always-increasing innovative materials considered “environmentally sustainable” and “natural” by producers, material libraries, designers. investigated research problem is: how simply effectively evaluate degree naturalness a material, preventing complete complex LCA analysis? basic de...

Fire increasingly threatens tropical forests in northern Vietnam as climate changes and human population grows. Understanding fire occurrence patterns may support more effective forest management reduce risk. We investigated spatiotemporal drivers of wildfire across three provinces assessed the effectiveness Modified Nesterov index (MNI) danger rating system. explored size within between years ...

An alternative parcellation of the orbitofrontal cortex is described for the automated anatomical labeling atlas of Tzourio-Mazoyer et al. (2002) (Automated anatomical labeling of activations in SPM using a macroscopic anatomical parcellation of the MNI MRI single-subject brain. NeuroImage 15:273-289). The new parcellation of the orbitofrontal cortex follows the description provided by Chiavara...

Islands worldwide have suffered seabird extinctions after the arrival of humans and alien species they introduced. On Santa Luzia (Cabo Verde), an uninhabited island 35 km2, presence impressive quantity petrel bones in coastal dunes suggested previous existence important colony. Yet, these remains had not been identified no reported for island. This paper characterizes extinct colony discusses ...
