The observed Raman frequency downshift

with increasing temperature drug discovery can be described well by a model which has taken into account the contributions of the anharmonic, thermal expansion, and strain effects, revealing the dominant role of the phonon decay. Effects of Pd addition and annealing temperature on the Raman frequency and linewidth have been discussed. The introduction of Pd is found to reduce the Raman frequency downshift, demonstrating the favorable use of NiPdSi for microelectronics applications.”
“The effects of three intramuscular anesthesia protocols – detomidine 190 mu g/kg plus ketamine 2 mg/kg, detomidine 270 mu g/kg plus ketamine 1.4 mg/kg, and tiletamine 3.4 mg/kg plus zolazepam 3.4 mg/kg – on penis protrusion and ejaculation variables were compared in nine captive Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica) subjected to electroejaculation. Body temperature, heart, and respiratory rates, as well as a number of plasma biochemical variables were also recorded prior to and during anesthesia. The detomidine plus ketamine protocols induced bradycardia and increased respiratory rate. However, the tiletamine/zolazepam protocol did not affect heart and respiratory rates. None of the three protocols caused a substantial change in rectal temperature, yet all protocols caused a significant

increase in plasma glucose levels. Differences in anesthetic protocols did not affect sperm quality or quantity. However, choice of anesthetic YH25448 solubility dmso protocol affected (P < 0.05) the degree of penis protrusion and the electrical pulse sequence required to achieve ejaculation. Results of this study support a recommendation of detomidine 270 mu g/kg plus ketamine 1.4 mg/kg for anesthesia of Spanish ibex undergoing electroejaculation. (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd.”
“Quantitative analysis of miroestrol (1) and kwakhurin JNJ-26481585 Epigenetics inhibitor (3) by HPLC, leading to standardisation of commercially

available Thai miracle herb Kwao Keur’ which has been identified with Pueraria mirifica, was established using independent solvent systems. The simple isolation procedure of highly estrogenic miroestrol (1) and deoxymiroestrol (2) from P. mirifica was also proposed.”
“This work presents a study of H complexes in Zn deficient ZnO by density functional calculations. It is found that the location of two H atoms at the Zn vacancy (V-Zn) is energetically more preferable than the distant H and V-Zn. Each of the two H atoms saturates one dangling O bond by forming an O-H bond. The resulting defect can be considered to be a 2(O-H)-V-Zn complex. Since there are four O dangling bonds at the V-Zn, the site can host four H atoms. It is shown that V-Zn with four H atoms is energetically more preferable than distant H and V-Zn.
