Two ethylene-bridged methylaluminium amidinates and one aluminium amidinate containing three terminal trimethylstannyl-ethynyl groups interconnected by π-coordinated potassium ions were prepared in situ. The re-oxidation of the ethylene-bridged compound by iodine followed by further reduction using the same activation procedure demonstrated the versatility of the approach. The reactivity of an ...

A new class of systems of strongly singular integrodifferential equations is examined, which emerges in the study of the bridged interface crack growth, e.g., in fiber stitched layered composites. This work generalizes the asymptotic analysis of strongly singular integral equations by Willis and Nemat-Nasser [Quart. Appl. Math., 48 (1990), pp. 741–753]. Singular perturbation solutions up to the...

Results: Approximately 80% of patients had AWR with component separation and 8% had a bridged repair. The most frequently used mesh was porcine (Strattice, 56.5%), followed by bovine (Surgimend, 31.1%) and human (Alloderm, 10.9%). There were 31 (16.2%) hernia recurrences with a surgical site occurrence rate of 25.1%. Among these patients, 13% had hernia recurrence within 3 years, while 16.7% at...

Size exclusion chromatography and centrifugation separation protocols were developed and compared for isolating enriched fractions of phenylethynyl-bridged metal nanoparticle dimers and trimers from the monomeric particle starting material. Both methods enabled the isolation of enriched fractions of a desired array without causing significant sample aggregation or replacement of the phenylethyn...

The sliding tubule model of ciliary motion requires that active sliding of microtubules occur by cyclic cross-bridging of the dynein arms. When isolated, demembranated Tetrahymena cilia are allowed to spontaneously disintegrate in the presence of ATP, the structural conformation of the dynein arms can be clearly resolved by negative contrast electron microscopy. The arms consist of three struct...
