We administered gemtuzumab ozogamycin ("mylotarg"; 9 mg/m(2) day 1 or 5) and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) to 19 patients with untreated acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). There were 3 patients who also received idarubicin because of a white blood cell (WBC) count of more than 30 000/microL. In complete remission (CR), patients were to receive 8 courses of mylotarg (9 mg/m(2) every 4 to 5 wee...

Two unique adducts of an oxozinc carboxylate cluster with H(2)O and THF were isolated and structurally characterized, [Zn(4)(μ(4)-O)(O(2)CR)(6)(H(2)O)(THF)]·2(THF) and [Zn(4)(μ(4)-O)(O(2)CR')(6)(THF)(3)] (where R = benzoate and R' = 9-antracenecarboxylate anion). The study shows that the zinc centers of the Zn(4)O core can easily form unique coordination environments without breaking of the Zn-...

Single crystals of garnet-type trimanganese(II) dichrom-i-um(III) tris-[orthogermanate(IV)], Mn(II) (3)Cr(III) (2)(GeO(4))(3), were obtained by utilizing a chemical transport reaction. Corres-ponding to the mineral garnet with the general formula A(II) (3)B(III) (2)(SiO(4))(3), each of the four elements occupies only one crystallographically distinct position. Mn(2+) occupies the respective A p...

Mid-substance rupture of the canine cranial cruciate ligament rupture (CR) and associated stifle osteoarthritis (OA) is an important veterinary health problem. CR causes stifle joint instability and contralateral CR often develops. The dog is an important model for human anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, where rupture of graft repair or the contralateral ACL is also common. This suggest...

The reaction of Fe(C≡CC≡N)(dppe)Cp (1) with one-half equivalent of [trans-Fe(N≡CMe)2(dppx)2][BF4]2 (dppx = dppe ([2][BF4]2) or dppm ([3][BF4]2)) affords trimetallic [trans-Fe{N≡CC≡CFe(dppe)Cp}2(dppx)2][BF4]2 (dppx = dppe [4][BF4]2; dppx = dppm [5][BF4]2). Both [4][BF4]2 and [5][BF4]2 undergo three, one-electron oxidation processes, arising from sequential oxidation of the two terminal Fe(C≡CR)(...

Single crystals of the title heterometallic compound, [Fe(C(12)H(8)N(2))(3)][Cr(NCS)(4)(C(12)H(8)N(2))](2)·3CH(3)CN·H(2)O or [Fe(Cphen)(3)][Cr(NCS)(4)(phen)](2)·3CH(3)CN·H(2)O, were pre-pared using the one-pot open-air reaction of iron powder, Reineckes salt and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) in acetonitrile. The asymetric unit consists of an [Fe(phen)(3)](2+) cation, two [Cr(phen)(NCS)(4)](-) anio...

The effects of Be additions on the oxidation behavior of ~-NiAl in moist air at 1000°C and borderline alumina-forming y (TiAI) + Laves Ti-Al-Cr based alloys at 800°C and 1000°C in dry and moist air were investigated. The addition of Be to ~-NiAl suppressed the formation of transient alumina, and resulted in the formation of a protective BeAl20 4 spinel phase. In dry air, the addition of Be to t...

The Constrained Random (CR) portion in any verification environment is a significant contributor to both the coding effort and the simulation overhead. Often, verification engineers waste a significant amount of time debugging problems related to CR in their SystemVerilog‎[1], and UVM‎[4], testbenches. The paper illustrates the top most common SystemVerilog CR gotchas, which when carefully stud...

abstract: in the present paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for contact cr-warped product to be contact cr-product in kenmotsu space forms.

Let p be a prime and p1, . . . , pr be distinct prime divisors of p− 1. We prove that the smallest positive integer n which is a simultaneous p1, . . . , pr-power nonresidue modulo p satisfies n < p 1/4−cr+o(1) (p → ∞) for some positive cr satisfying cr = e −(1+o(1))r (r → ∞).
