We study fermion mass matrices of the cascade form which naturally lead to the tri-bimaximal generation mixing in the lepton sector. The cascade neutrino matrix predicts a parameter-independent relation among the observables; the neutrino mixing angles and mass squared differences. The relation makes interesting predictions that the atmospheric neutrino mixing angle is close to maximal and the ...

The title compound, C21H23NSi, was synthesized by Sonogashira-type reaction of 1-ethyl-3-iodo-2-phenyl-1H-indole with tri-methyl-silyl-acetyl-ene. The indole ring system is nearly planar [maximum atomic deviation = 0.0244 (15) Å] and is oriented at a dihedral angle of 51.48 (4)° with respect to the phenyl ring. The supramolecular aggregation is completed by weak C-H⋯π inter-actions of the methy...

The effect of trialkyllead and trialkyltin on pig erythrocyte hemolysis has been studied and compared. The results of experiments showed that the hemolytic activity of organoleads increases with their hydrophobicity and follows the sequence: triethyllead chloride < tri-n-propyllead chloride < tributyllead chloride. And similarly in the case of organotins: triethyltin chloride < tri-n-propyltin ...

We thank Metson et al. (1) for their addition to our paper (2). These authors raise an important point, and are definitely right in pointing out the global importance of phosphorous and the dominant role of the livestock industry in its use. Our omission of phosphorous from our calculations, which Metson et al. point out, joins several other important environmental costs of livestock husbandry ...

Tinnitus Research Initiative is dedicated to fi nd a cure for Tinnitus. In this context, we are delighted to present you this fi rst issue of the TRI NEWSLETTER. We hope that this newsletter, will facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing between supported institutions and interest new stakeholders in order to develop our common network. We would like this newsletter to provide relevant ne...

/ The success of the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) stands in stark contrast to most other environmental regulations in the United States. Between its inception in 1988 and 1995, releases of chemicals listed on the TRI have declined by 45%. We argue the TRI has achieved this regulatory success by creating a mechanism of "populist maxi-min regulation." This style of regulation differs from tradi...

Recovering nutrients, especially phosphate resource, from wastewater have attracted increasing interest recently. Herein, an intermittently aerated membrane bioreactor (MBR) with a mesh filter was developed for simultaneous chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN) and phosphorous removal, followed by phosphorus recovery from the phosphorus-rich sludge. This integrated system showed enh...

Introduction: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is one of the deadly cardiovascular diseases. One of the indexes proposed in these patients for risk stratification is the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk index (TRI), which includes three parameters of systolic blood pressure, age, and heart rate. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of TRI on in-hospit...
