Synthesis, Structure, and Ligand Exchange Reactions of Tetramethyleneethane Complexes of Cobalt
|
The synthesis of (η3:η3-TME)[Co(CO)3]2 (1) was achieved using 2,3-bis(bromomethyl)-1,3-butadiene (TMEBr2) as the tetramethyleneethane (TME) ligand precursor and Na[Co(CO)4]. Solution NMR studies suggested an η3:η3-configuration, which has been confirmed in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The series of complexes (η3:η3-TME)[Co(CO)2PR3]2 (R = Me, 2; R = Et, 3; R = n-Bu, 4; R = Ph, 5; R = OPh, 6) were also synthesized by ligand exchange reactions, demonstrating that only one carbonyl may be exchanged for a phosphine group on each metal center. The η3:η3-configuration of the tetramethyleneethane ligand in these complexes was determined by crystallographic studies. The effect of the electron-donating properties of PR3 was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and infrared spectroscopy. The greatest degree of electron donation was seen when R = Et (3) and lowest when R = Ph (5) or R = OPh (6). Electronic communication between the metal centers was observed by CV. The chemical oxidation...

House Bill 514 moves out of Senate Education Committee - | WBTV Charlotte
|
The Senate Education Committee favorably recommended House Bill 514 be moved out of committee on Wednesday. Before the committee voted on it, there was discussion between lawmakers. If House Bill 514 passes the General Assembly, it would allow four towns to open and run their own charter school district.
Originally, the towns on House Bill 514 were Matthews and Mint Hill. Lawmakers added Huntersville and Cornelius to the list Wednesday. Lawmakers also fixed part of the bill that would allow teachers who work at a town charter school to participate in the state pension plan. The bill originally had teachers becoming employees of the towns.
Lawmakers called House Bill 514 interesting and a slippery slope. Politicians were concerned the town charter schools would be exclusively for students who live in those towns, and would only open the public charter schools to other students living outside the towns as a last resort.
"This clearly is a departure - it is not from current charter school law that we've had for 22 years," Senator Rick Horner said
Bill sponsor Bill Brawley said it would be a departure from current policy, but town leaders want it. Lawmakers also said at the meeting the controversial bill would re-segregate schools.
"What this bill does, it might be unintended - but it provides a perpetuation of inequities of county with some of our city school systems with more access to tax resources," Senator Erica Smith said. "When you are looking at four of the more affluent areas in our state and looking at attendance zones - you are depriving and rolling back what has been accomplished with Brown vs. Board of Education.”
Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District (CMS) representative, Charles Jeter, attended the committee meeting and tried to convince the committee to vote the bill down. He believes House Bill 514 could put other charter schools out of business. Jeter believes town charters will have a steady flow of income to support their charter schools, leaving others behind.
"All the other traditional charters get hoodwinked in this deal," CMS Government Relations Coordinator Charles Jeter said. "They are catastrophic closed - because they cannot compete financially."
Also mentioned in the committee meeting is despite the fact that majority of taxpayers who approached leaders opposing House Bill 514 - town commissioners voted to approve it anyway.
"Once this genie is out of this bottle, you will not be able to put it back in. You have heard unanswered questions and concerns," North Carolina School Boards Association Leanne Winner said.
Some committee members asked their colleagues to slow the process down and vet the bill better before allowing towns to be able to increase taxes in order to run their own charter schools.
"These cities don't know a damn thing about running charter schools," Senator Jerry Tillman said. "However, if these four cities want to screw themselves, I am going to vote for them to do that."
Despite the concerns presented at the meeting, lawmakers approved the bill to be moved to the next level. Politicians had no problem recommending it. They say this is a local issue and will help parents educate their kids. They don’t see a problem with that.
"Anything that gives parents another option in getting the best education for their children is a good thing," Senator Bill Cook said.
Committee members say they are not through fighting this bill. They will continue to oppose it and let other lawmakers know their reasons why.
"I think we need to scrap this Bill 514 because it's not a good bill," Senator Joyce Waddell said. "You got double taxation. We've not thought through it - have not looked carefully at what's involved."
House Bill 514 will go to two more committees, then it's back to the Senate and House for final approval.

Violent Protests Continue In Chile As Government Imposes New Curfew
|
Protests continue in Chile after a weekend of violence and destruction over a recent transit hike. The unrest continued after President Sebastián Piñera suspended the 4 percent fare increase. The protests in the capital city of Santiago come amid growing discontent over rising the cost of living and lack of salary increases. The weekend's riots saw protesters shut down the Metro de Santiago and burn down a high rise. Officials have reported at least eight deaths as a result of the protests. The large military presence in Santiago, said to be about 10,500 soldiers and police officers, has drawn comparison to the brutal dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet, who ruled Chile through arrests, torture and murder from 1973 to 1990. The Chilean Prosecutor's Office has announced that more than 2,100 people have been detained. So far, the damage made to the Metro is estimated to be at least $200 million. Interior Minister Andrés Chadwick told reporters Monday that 110 supermarkets were looted and 13 buildings were set ablaze, including an office of energy company Enel Chile. On Monday morning, schools canceled classes and only one line on the Metro was operational. Many grocery stores were closed, with long lines at those that were open and troops monitoring them. Protesters took to the streets again on Monday, resuming skirmishes with police and military officials. In a statement televised Sunday night, Piñera imposed another curfew and extended the country's state of emergency in hopes of deterring more protests. "They are at war against all good willed Chileans who want to live in a democracy, with liberty and peace," Piñera said, referring to protesters. Protesters have used the phrase "no estamos en guerra," Spanish for "we are not at war," in response to Piñera. Confrontations between demonstrators and police turned violent Friday as police responded with riot gear and tear gas. The violence continued throughout the weekend. Santiago officials said three people died in fires at two looted groceries and five more people were found dead in the basement of a burned warehouse. Although protests have continued on Monday, local officials say they hope conditions remain peaceful to allow a recovery period. "The word today is reconstruction. First, of trust," said Santiago Mayor Karla Rubilar. "And of course we are also in a time of reconstruction of the city." Chileans expats have used social media to show their support for the protesters. Some, including those in Tokyo and Manchester, have organized their own street protests in solidarity with those in Santiago. United Nations Humans Rights Chief Michelle Bachelet, Chile's president from 2006 to 2010, tweeted about the violence, asking protesters to organize peacefully. Paolo Zialcita is an intern on NPR's News Desk. NPR's Jessica Piper contributed to this report.

If there's no blood supply to cartilage, how come glucosamine or chondroitin is "good for joints"? How do minerals/vitamins/hormones even get to cartilage cells without blood flow?
|
Intact cartilage indeed does not have any bloodsupply, however there is a viscous fluid ( joint fluid ) around the cartilage that does indirectly come in contact with blood. So there is a gradient of nutrients towards the cartilage. It is however not proven that injections or supplements of glucosamine or chondroitin is good for the joints. _URL_2_ _URL_1_ This leads me to my 2nd point. Cartilage that is damaged and close enough to surrounding tissue can get invaded with bloodsupply and restore itself through stemcells. It can also be damaged as part of a surgical procedure called micro fracturing. _URL_0_ source: 4th year med student

OBJECTIVES: To estimate the frequency of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women attended in Family Medicine Units of the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social and to determine the in vitro sensitivity rate of the microorganisms to ampicillin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, nitrofurantoin and amikacin. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We carried out an observational, prospective and transversal study at Family Medicine Units 62 and 64 of the Mexico State Delegation, located in the urban area of Mexico City. Women with lesser than 32 weeks of pregnancy without urinary tract symptoms were included. Urine culture of a midstream urine specimen with > or = 10(5) colony forming units/mL urine of an only germen was used as the gold standard. The in vitro antimicrobial sensitivity was established according to the Bauer Kirby technique. RESULTS: 874 pregnant women were included and 73 had a positive urine culture, with a frequency of 8.4%, IC 95% = 6.6 - 10.2%, of asymptomatic bacteriuria. Escherichia coil was the most frequent isolated agent (77%). In vitro sensitivity to ampicillin of the microorganisms isolated was of 27%, IC 95% = 16 - 38%; to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole of 40%, IC95% = 29 - 51%; to amikacin of 68%, IC 95% = 57 - 79%, and to nitrofurantoin of 79%, IC 95% = 70 - 88%. CONCLUSIONS: The frequency of asymptomatic bacteriuria in the studied population is similar to the reported by the literature. The in vitro sensitivity rates of E. coil to ampicillin and to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole are very low. The best sensitivity corresponded to the nitrofurantoin. The treatment of the asymptomatic bacteriuria must be based on the local patterns of antimicrobial sensitivity and resistance.

Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) in pregnancy is associated with obstetric complications including preeclampsia, pyelonephritis, preterm labour, low birth weight and prematurity. Determining the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria among pregnant women locally is needed to justify routine screening for ASB in pregnancy. This cross sectional, case controlled study examined 440 women comprising equal numbers of pregnant and non pregnant women attending various clinics at Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH) Nnewi, Nigeria with the aim of determining the prevalence of ASB among them and the antibiotic sensitivity of the isolated organisms. Urine culture using MacConkay and blood agar were used to isolate bacteria organisms. Significant bacteriuria was defined as the finding of single pure isolate of ≥105 in two consecutive, freshly voided, midstream urine. The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria among the pregnant women was 19.5% (n=43) and 6.4% ( n=14) for the non pregnant women. (x 2 =16.9,0R=3.6, P=0.00). There was no significant influence of age (x 2 =1.89,P=0.39), parity (x 2 =3.92,P=0.14) or social class (x 2 =5.7, p=0.22) on the prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnancy. Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) was the commonest isolated organism, 30(52.6%) followed by Staphylococcus aureus , 10 (17.5%) and Klebsiella sp , 9 (15.8%). The isolated E. coli was 100% sensitive to ofloxacin, nitrofurantoin and nalidixic acid and 83.3%, 73.3% and 66.7% sensitive to augmentin, gentamicin and cefuroxime, respectively. Sensitivity to ampicillin and cotrimoxazole were 43.3% and 30.0%, respectively. The prevalence of asymptomatic bacteriuria among pregnant women attending antenatal clinic in NAUTH is high and the isolated organisms were mainly susceptible to ofloxacin, nitrofurantoin and nalidixic acid. Routine screening for ASB in pregnancy in the hospital is recommended for all pregnant women. Keywords : Prevalence, Asymptomatic bacteriuria, Nnewi, Nigeria

I figured out how to fire the fuel rod bomb for the H2A campaign banshee
|
Apparently the fuel rod bomb is glitched and won't fire unless you do a certain 'combo' of buttons. To fire the bomb, you press boost(LT) and then after that press bomb(B), and there you have a bomb. It usually takes a few tries in a row. Somewhat difficult to focus on enemy vehicles when doing the 'combo', at least for me.
Edit: It seems you can also fire the bomb by pressing boost(LT) and the maneuvering button(A).
Edit2: I solved the issue. The culprit was the Boxer button layout setting, which caused the banshee bomb button to be remapped to (LT) which is also the same as the boost.

We consider distributed representation scheme for trees, supporting some special relationships between nodes at small distance. For instance, we show that for a tree T and an integer k we can assign local information on nodes such that we can decide for two nodes u and v if the distance between u and v is at most k and if so, compute it only using the local information assigned. For trees withn nodes, the local information assigned by our scheme is binary label of log n + O(klog(klog(n/k))) bits, improving a recent result of Alstrup, Bille and Rauhe.

what is the most common language spoken in dounenez
|
Douarnenez culture. Breton, a Brythonic language, bears great similarities to the Cornish and to Welsh languages of southwest England and Wales. Many of the traditional stories and myths also share a Breton-Cornish heritage. In the early 21st century, there are few, if any, native speakers of Breton who are not fully bilingual in French, although there were still several hundreds of thousands at the beginning of the 20th century. With increasing interest in minorities and their languages in the later 20th century, several Breton-language schools have been established in Finistère. In addition, Breton-language radio and TV stations, bookshops, local theatre and

Court to announce verdict in Avenfield case on July 6
|
ISLAMABAD: The accountability court, hearing the Avenfield reference against the Sharif family, has reserved its verdict in the case, which will be announced on July 6.
Nawaz and his family are facing three corruption cases in the accountability court after the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) filed references against them in light of the Supreme Court's verdict in the Panama Papers case last year.
The accountability court resumed hearing the case on Tuesday, where Maryam Nawaz and Captain (retd) Safdar's counsel presented his final arguments.
Judge Mohammad Bashir, during the hearing on June 29, had directed Maryam's counsel Amjad Pervez to conclude his final arguments on July 2 in any case.
However, the hearing on July 2 (yesterday) was adjourned until today after Pervez failed to conclude his arguments.
The accountability court has heard the case for nine and a half months and reserved the verdict against Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz and Captain (retd) Safdar.
Nawaz's sons, Hasan and Hussain, have already been declared absconders in the case.
Nawaz and other accused were asked 127 questions in the case, while no witness appeared before the court on behalf of the defence.
Authorities also recorded statements of two witnesses through a video-link from London. The court conducted 107 hearings of the case over the past nine and a half months.
Nawaz and Maryam attended 78 hearings, whereas defence counsels cross-examined Wajid Zia, head of Panama case joint investigation team (JIT), for around two weeks.
On the whole, 18 witnesses recorded their statements in the case.
Last week, Nawaz's counsel, Khawaja Haris, had also concluded his final arguments in the case.
The former premier and his daughter remain in London on account of Begum Kulsoom Nawaz's ailment. On Monday, the court had granted them two-day exemption from proceedings.
However, the accountability court reserved its verdict in the case after today's hearing.
The references
The trial against the Sharif family had commenced on September 14, 2017.
The corruption references, filed against the Sharifs, pertain to the Al-Azizia Steel Mills and Hill Metal Establishment, offshore companies including Flagship Investment Limited, and Avenfield properties of London.
Nawaz and his sons, Hussain and Hasan, are accused in all three references whereas his daughter Maryam and son-in-law Safdar are accused in the Avenfield reference only.
The two brothers, based abroad, have been absconding since the proceedings began last year and were declared proclaimed offenders by the court.
The court originally had a deadline of six months which ended in mid-March but was extended for two months after the judge requested the apex court.
Later, the deadline was extended twice more, with the new date falling somewhere around July 10 now.

Abstract In this paper we extend previous control design applied to an electropneumatic clutch actuator. A dual-mode switched nonlinear controller design and an adaptive nonlinear observer design are combined to achieve position control of the clutch actuator with only position measurements available. The observer provides estimates of position, velocity, chamber pressures, friction state and parameters, and clutch load characteristic parameters. The paper focus on design for implementation in a heavy duty truck system, and focus on performance evalution using simulations. Performance is tested with a simulation model which is validated against experimental results from a heavy duty test truck, showing no significant loss of performance due to lack of a pressure sensor.

Abstract This paper proposes a nonlinear observer for an electropneumatic clutch actuator. Parameter estimation of the clutch load characteristic and friction are also treated through adaptation. Estimates of piston velocity, chamber pressures and dynamic friction state are made based on piston position measurement only. Persistence of excitation conditions for convergence of the estimation error are derived. The performance of the observer and the parameter estimation is evaluated and compared to experimental measurements.

This toaster oven did not last, the temperature setting feature melted and no longer heated the elements within a very short time period (year+)

Im torn here. I bought this product fully knowing the sizes were not true. for that I give myself one star, not the product.
Onto the product. Being a half inch short all around caused some fit issues with my new Carrier HVAC and Honeywell filter box, Probably some extra un-filtered air through my new HVAC. for this I give 3 stars.
now the packaging. I ordered 2 of these filters and they came un-wrapped/un-packaged. the first one I installed immediately but the second now sits in my basement collecting dust! it should be at least shrink wrapped no?

Mac for Halothane, Enflurane, and Isoflurane in the New Zealand White Rabbit: And a Test for the Validity of Mac Determinations
|
Abstract MAC determinations for halothane, enflurane, and isoflurane were performed in New Zealand white rabbits (n = 8, approximate age 6 months). The MAC values (+/-SD) were as follows: halothane 1.39 +/- 0.23%, enflurane 2.86 +/- 0.18%, and isoflurane 2.05 +/- 0.18%. Comparison of these results with published MAC values for other species suggests that the ratio of the potencies for any pairing of these three agents is constant from species to species. This observation provides a means for assessing the validity of preexisting or newly determined MAC values.
