The isocyanide complexes cis-[MCl2(CNC6H4-4-X)2] (M = Pd; X Cl, Br; M Pt; Br) form isomorphous crystal structures exhibiting the Cl/Br and Pd/Pt exchanges featuring 1D chains upon crystallisation. Crystal packing is supported by C–X···X–C halogen bonds (HaBs), C–H···X–C hydrogen (HB), X···M semicoordination, C···C contacts between C atoms of aryl ligands. results DFT calculations topological an...

BACKGROUND The hypothesis is that hemoglobin-based metrics are useful tools for estimating malaria endemicity and for monitoring malaria control strategies. The aim of this study is to compare population hemoglobin mean and anemia prevalence to established indicators of malaria endemicity, including parasite rates, rates of enlarged spleens in children, and records of (presumptive) malaria diag...

the date of receipt and acceptance should be inserted later Abstract. We present the results of spectroscopic analyses of hot horizontal branch (HB) stars in M 13 and M 3, which form a famous " second parameter " pair. From the spectra and Strömgren photometry we derived – for the first time in M 13 – atmospheric parameters (effective temperature and surface gravity). For stars with Strömgren t...

The properties of ghosts prepared by hypotonic hemolysis at various ratios of cells (C) to hemolyzing solution (H) have been studied. At all ratios, hemoglobin (Hb) was found to be distributed equally between the ghost and supernatant compartments. Techniques employing Fe(59)-labelled Hb showed that during hemolysis all of the Hb is exchangeable and that following hemolysis the ghost is imperme...

AIM To quantify the year-to-year variability of altitude-induced changes in haemoglobin mass (Hb(mass)) in elite team-sport athletes. METHODS 12 Australian-Footballers completed a 19-day (ALT1) and 18-day (ALT2) moderate altitude (∼2100 m), training camp separated by 12 months. An additional 20 participants completed only one of the two training camps (ALT1 additional n=9, ALT2 additional n=1...

OBJECTIVE The objective was to evaluate the effect of iron supplementation for 6 mo on blood lead (PbB) concentration in populations of premenopausal (PRE-M) and postmenopausal (POST-M) Korean women. METHODS We conducted a community intervention trial in Asan, Republic of Korea. Of the 137 enrolled women with hemoglobin (Hb) levels lower than 12 g/dL, 37 were PRE-M and 100 were POST-M. Each w...

Contribution of heterotrophic marine bacteria (HB) to the particulate beam attenuation coefficient (cp) was estimated as a function of latitude in diverse marine regions. Calculations were based on surface measurements (0 to 20 m depth) of bacterial abundance and biovolume, physiooptical empirical relationships, and light scattering models. Relative contribution of spherical HB to cp (cHB/cp) w...
