The neuroprotective effect of oxygen after acute stroke in rats has been shown previously. However, the question of optimal dosing still remains unanswered. Thus, we investigated the use of oxygen at different concentrations by either normobaric oxygenation (NBO) or hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) at different pressures in a model of transient ischemia/reperfusion in rats. Animals underwent 90 min...

The molecular framework [Fe(NCS)(2)(tmbpz)(2)](tmbpz = 3,3',5,5'-tetramethyl-4,4'-bipyrazolyl) consists of a robust doubly interpenetrated NbO-type network that remains stable on the removal of solvent guest molecules.

Using data obtained with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, we report the detection of a 5 Hz quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in the bright low-mass X-ray binary and Z source Cygnus X-2 during high overall intensities (the high intensity state). This QPO was detected on the so-called normal branch and can be identified with the normal branch QPO or NBO. Our detection of the NBO is the first one ...

in this article, theoretical studies on the selective complexation of the halide ions (f¯, cl¯ and br¯) and ion pairs (na+f¯, na+cl¯ and na+br¯) with the cyclic nano-hexapeptide (cp) composed of l-proline have been performed in the gas phase. in order to calculate the dispersion interaction energies of the cp and ions, dft-d3 calculations at the m05-2x-d3/6-31g(d) level was employed. based on t...

in this research, we report the results of dft calculations using xc-hybrid functional, b3lyp and employ nbo interpretation to investigate the stereoelectronic effects. electrostatic and steric impacts on the conformational properties of 1,2-difluorodiazene (1), 1,2-dichlorodiazene (2) and 1,2-dibromodiazene (3) are also studied. factors determining the thermodynamically stable molecular struct...

The structural and vibrational properties of 6-(2-(2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazano)-tetrahydro-2thioxopyrimidin-4(1H)-one (3) prepared by condensation of synthesized thiobarbituric acid (1) with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (2) were studied using experimental FT-IR, FT-Raman, NMR spectra and theoretical calculations based on the density functional method were the simulated spectra coincides with exper...

Studies are reported of the upper critical fields of Nbo.53Tio.47-Ge multilayers consisting of thick Ge layers and varying-thickness Nbo.s3Tio.47 layers. Both the angular dependence and the temperature dependence of the upper critical fields indicate a dimensional crossover at a Nbo.s3Tio.47 layer thickness near 200 ~ . All the 2D samples display a cusplike upper critical field angular dependen...

We use ab initio pseudopotential total energy calculations with a plane wave basis set to investigate the structural energetics of various phases of polymorphic NbN. Particular attention is given to its recently discovered superconducting phase with a Tc of 16.4 K, reported to have the NbO structure type. Results of total energy calculations show that it is in fact energetically unfavorable for...

The reaction between niobium atom and acetaldehyde has been investigated with a DFT approach. Both ground and excited state potential energy surfaces are investigated in detail. The present results show that the title reaction starts with the formation of a η-CH3CHO-metal complex followed by C−C, aldehyde C−H, methyl C−H and C−O bond activation. These reactions can lead to several different pro...
