Reactions between K[TpFe(CN)3] (Tp- = hydrotris(1-pyrazolyl)borate) and M(ClO4)2 x 6H2O (M = Co or Ni) in a mixture of acetonitrile and methanol afford, upon crystallization via THF vapor diffusion, [Tp8(H2O)12Co6Fe8(CN)24](ClO4)4.12THF x 7H2O (1) and [Tp8(H2O)12Ni6Fe8(CN)24](ClO4)4.12THF x 7H2O (2). Both compounds contain cyano-bridged clusters with a face-centered cubic geometry, wherein octa...

This study is a contribution to assess the high resolution digital aerial imagery for semi-automatic analysis of tree species identification. To maximize the benefit of such data, the object-based classification was conducted in a mixed forest plantation. Two subsets of an UltraCam D image were geometrically corrected using aero-triangulation method. Some appropriate transformations were perfor...

using the computational methods, the interaction effect of tyrosine amino acid on graphene wasinvestigated. for this purpose, the density functional theory (dft) in the ground state of 6-31gwas used, and the interaction effects of tyrosine on graphene was investigated through attachmentto three different base positions. different parameters such as energy levels, the amount ofchemical shift in ...

Selected results of environmental chamber experiments carried out in the new large indoor environmental chamber at the University of California at Riverside (UCR) that are relevant to quantifying ozone impacts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are described. Issues and data needs for quantification of VOC reactivities towards ground-level ozone are described. The ability of the current SAPRC...

The bonding patterns of the [C(2)O(4)](2+) dication formed upon interaction of CO(2)(2+) with neutral CO(2) are investigated using the analysis of domain-averaged Fermi holes (DAFHs). The DAFH approach provides an explanation for the previously observed "asymmetry" of the energy deposition in the pair of CO(2)(+) monocations formed in the thermal reaction CO(2)(2+) + CO(2) --> [C(2)O(4)](2+) --...

Traditional forensic document analysis methods have focused on feature-classification paradigm where a machine learning based classifier is used to learn discrimination among multiple writers. However, usage of such techniques is restricted to availability of a large labeled dataset which is not always feasible. In this paper, we propose a Cotraining based approach that overcomes this limitatio...

Most existing methods on research collaborator recommendation focus on promoting collaboration within a specific discipline and exploit a network structure derived from co-authorship or co-citation information. To find collaboration opportunities outside researchers’ own fields of expertise and beyond their social network, we present an interdisciplinary collaborator recommendation method based...

Resonant vibrational and rotation–vibration excitation cross sections for electron–CO scattering are calculated in the 0–10 eV energy range for all 81 vibrational states of CO, assuming that the excitation occurs via the 2 shape resonance. Static exchange plus polarization calculations performed using the R-matrix method are used to estimate resonance positions and widths as functions of intern...

The corneal-protective effects of an artificial tear containing sodium hyaluronate (SH) and castor oil (CO) were evaluated on a porcine short-term dry eye model. Fresh porcine eyes with an intact cornea were treated with an artificial tear of saline, SH solution (0.1%, 0.5% or 1%), CO solution (0.5%, 1% or 5%) or a mixture solution containing 0.5% SH and 1% CO and then desiccated for 60, 90 or ...
