Synthesis, crystal structure and computational analysis of 2,7-bis-(4-chloro-phen-yl)-3,3-dimethyl-1,4-diazepan-5-one.

In the title compound, CHClNO, the seven-membered 1,4-diazepane ring adopts a chair conformation while the 4-chloro-phenyl substituents adopt equatorial orientations. The chloro-phenyl ring at position 7 is disordered over two positions [site occupancies 0.480 (16):0.

Investigating Beta-Variational Convolutional Autoencoders for the Unsupervised Classification of Chest Pneumonia.

The world's population is increasing and so is the challenge on existing healthcare infrastructure to cope with the growing demand in medical diagnosis and evaluation. Although human experts are primarily tasked with the diagnosis of different medical conditions, artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted diagnoses have become considerably useful in recent times. One of the critical lung infections, which requires early diagnosis and subsequent treatment to reduce the mortality rate, is pneumonia.

Improving wear resistance of plasma-sprayed calcia and magnesia-stabilized zirconia mixed coating: roles of phase stability and microstructure.

The phase stability and microstructure of ZrO-5CaO and ZrO-24MgO mixed coating (wt%) by air plasma spraying on 304 stainless steel substrates were investigated. A Ni-5Al (wt%) metallic bond coating was firstly sprayed between the substrate and the ceramic top layer. The results were compared with the individual coatings of ZrO-5CaO and ZrO-24MgO for a better understanding of the correlation between their microstructures and mechanical properties.

Direct typing of Canine parvovirus (CPV) from infected dog faeces by rapid mini sequencing technique.

Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a non-enveloped single stranded DNA virus with an icosahedral capsid. Mini-sequencing based CPV typing was developed earlier to detect and differentiate all the CPV types and FPV in a single reaction. This technique was further evaluated in the present study by performing the mini-sequencing directly from fecal samples which avoided tedious virus isolation steps by cell culture system.
