VO2+ and its complexes with ethylenediamine (en), acetylacetonate (acac), 2, 2’-bipyridine(bpy) ligands, immobilized within nanoreactors of Al-MCM-41 designated as VO2+/Al-MCM-41 or VOL2/Al-MCM-41, were prepared and ...

The incidence of pre-lingual hearing loss (HL) is about 1 in 1000 neonates. More than 60% of cases are inherited. Non-syndromic HL (NSHL) is extremely heterogeneous: more than 130 loci have been identified so far. The most ...

Deformation pattern of the northeastern part of the Iranian-Arabian collision zone (i.e., mainly Sanandaj-Sirjan Belt or Zone) is the main concern of this paper. Here, we investigate the stress distribution and displacement ...

Substituted Schiff bases (hydrazones) 5a-j have been prepared from the starting material 2-chloro pyridine-3-carboxylic acid 1 by a sequence of reactions like reaction with 2-amino-6-nitro benzothiazole (Ullamann condensation), ...
