In the title compound, [Ba(C(14)H(20)O(5))(2)][Co(NCS)(4)], the Ba(II) and Co(II) ions are situated on twofold rotational axes, so asymmetric unit contains half each of the complex cations and anions. The Co(II) ion is coordinated by four N atoms [Co-N 1.83 (2), 1.95 (3) Å] in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The Ba(II) ion is coordinated by ten O atoms [Ba-O 2.766 (19)-2.859 (19) Å] from two...

The times at which post-partum ovulation occurred relative to the times of parturition, were similar for CD-1 mice exposed either to 18L:6D of 10L:14D and comparable to the times reported previously for mice of the same strain kept under 14L:10D. When parturition took place close to 'lights off', ovulation tended to occur 13--14 h after littering (i.e. during the last part of the same dark peri...

We compared susceptibility to Candida vaginitis in derived murine substrains differing in sensitivity to estrogen (CD-1 and CD10, resistant; CD3 and C57BL/6 responsive), and in F1 crosses. The order of decreasing resistance was CD-1 > or = CD10 > or = CD10 x CD3F1 > CD10 x B6F1 > CD3 > C57BL/6 and correlated with estrogen responsiveness in endocrine disruptor assays. Resistance to Candida vagin...

The effect of force requirements on response effort was examined using outbred (CD-1) mice trained to press a disk with their snout. Lateral peak forces greater than 2 g were defined as threshold responses (i.e., all measured responses). Different force requirements were used to define criterion responses (a subclass of threshold responses) that exceeded the requirement. The reinforcer was swee...

The aim of this study was to determine the range and incidences of spontaneous microscopic lesions of the pituitary gland in control Han-Wistar and Sprague-Dawley rats and CD-1 mice from 104-week carcinogenicity studies carried out between 1998 and 2010 at Charles River Edinburgh. In both strains of rats and in CD-1 mice, non-proliferative lesions of the pituitary gland were generally uncommon,...

since reusing waste tire as a cheap filler is considerably high, in this study, recycled rubber to replace nr/br is used up to 15 phr and the positive and negative aspects of the rubber powder and reclaimed rubber in the physical, dynamical and processing properties are evaluated. the results showed that in the presence of recycled rubber, the cure rate, crack growth resistance, tear strength a...

a quantum chemical investigation was carried out to study the properties of intermolecular f•••f, br•••br and br•••o interactions in crystalline 1-bromo-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-nitrobenzene (bfnb). this system was selected to mimic the halogen-halogen as well as halogen bonding interactions found within crystal structures as well as within biological systems. we found that fluorine atoms have weak ...
