Noun incorporation in Frisian (Dyk 1997) is unusual because it shows certain restrictions that are not seen in other languages with noun incorporation, such as Mohawk and Chukchi. In addition, while others argue that noun incorporation is indeed possible in Germanic (see Booij 2009 for Dutch, Barrie and Spreng 2009 for German), Frisian is unusual even with respect to Germanic in allowing noun i...

exceeded losses of nonstructural components from structural ones in most demolished buildings in previous earthquakes and its limitation on functionality of critical facilities and building serviceability after earthquakes should be got the point of view for accounting loss of building as a merit for building performance. this paper attempts to demonstrate the significant role of distribution p...

the present work was aimed to design and develop self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (snedds) with the objective to overcome the problems associated with the delivery of talinolol, a hydrophobic and poorly bioavailable drugs having ph dependant solubility. the solubility of talinolol in various oils, surfactants, cosurfactants and aqueous phases were determined to identify and select the...

the influences of anionic sodium dodecylsulfate (sds) and cationic hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (htab) surfactants on the incorporation and distribution of barium hexaferrite nanoparticles in the electrodeposited cofe-bafe12o19 composite thin films were studied. sulphate bathes with natural ph containing 0 to 2 g/l surfactants were used for electroplating at room temperature. field emissi...

The goal of medicine is to prevent harm as Hippocrates pointed out; “primum non nocere; first do no harm”. Has this fact been taken into account in developing Medical Education curricula in Asia? Frequency of diseases in Asia is different from high income countries (1, 2) and funds for research are lacking.  It is therefore important to allocate available funds to the most applicable issues to...

in this study, the effect of mentha piperita essence (mpe) incorporation into cassava films on the hydrophilic and physicochemical properties of the resulting biodegradable films was investigated. the properties included solubility, moisture uptake and contact angle. mpe was added into biodegradable films at different amounts (1, 2 and 3%, w/w total solid). all biofilms were plasticized with 40...

A series of fascinating diiron complexes featuring bridging N(x)H(y) ligands stabilized by tris(phosphine)borate ([PhB(CH(2)PR(2))(3)] = [PhBP(R)(3)]) ligands have been characterized. Hydrazine activation by [PhBP(R)(3)]Fe-Me (R = Ph or cyclohexylmethyl) leads to diiron Fe(2)(mu-eta(1):eta(1)-N(2)H(4))(mu-eta(2):eta(2)-N(2)H(2)) complexes featuring both bridging hydrazine and hydrazido ligands....

We show that a dinuclear assembly apparently providing the first example of a synthetic molecule exhibiting key features of the diiron subsite of [FeFe] hydrogenase, viz. CO-bridging of a coordinatively unsaturated, dithiolate-bridged mixed-valence diiron centre, is in fact a diamagnetic tetranuclear complex.

Next to the monoclinic polymorph [Cheng et al. (2005 ▶). Acta Cryst. E61, m892-m894], the triclinic title compound, [Fe(4)(C(2)H(5)S)(2)(S(2))(CO)(12)], is the second known form of this composition. The structure is composed of an [Fe(2)(C(2)H(5)S)(S)(CO)(6)] subcluster, which is linked to its counterpart by an inversion centre located at the mid-point of the central disulfide bond. The Fe(2)S(...
