Crystal structure of K0.75[Fe(II) 3.75Fe(III) 1.25(HPO3)6]·0.5H2O, an open-framework iron phosphite with mixed-valent Fe(II)/Fe(III) ions.

Single crystals of the title compound, potassium hexa-phosphito-penta-ferrate(II,III) hemihydrate, K0.75[Fe(II) 3.75Fe(III) 1.

Crystal structure of (NH4)2[Fe(II) 5(HPO3)6], a new open-framework phosphite.

Di-ammonium hexa-phosphito-penta-ferrate(II), (NH4)2[Fe5(HPO3)6], was synthesized under mild hydro-thermal conditions and autogeneous pressure, yielding twinned crystals. The crystal structure exhibits an [Fe(II) 5(HPO3)6](2-) open framework with NH4 (+) groups as counter-cations. The anionic skeleton is based on (001) sheets of [FeO6] octa-hedra (one with point-group symmetry 3.

Tris[4,4'-(ethene-1,2-di-yl)dipyridinium] deca-vanadate dihydrate.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(12)H(12)N(2))(3)[V(10)O(28)]·2H(2)O, contains one half of a deca-vanadate anion, one and a half trans-1,2-bis-(4-pyridinio)ethene cations and one water mol-ecule. The V(10)O(28) groups are involved in a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network through Ow-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O inter-actions.

Gene-lifestyle interaction on risk of type 2 diabetes.

The descriptive epidemiology of type 2 diabetes suggests that gene-lifestyle interactions are critical to the development of the condition. However, unravelling the molecular detail of these interactions is a complex task. The existing literature is based on small intervention studies or cross-sectional observational quantitative trait studies.

Understanding data in clinical research: a simple graphical display for plotting data (up to four independent variables) after binary logistic regression analysis.

In clinical research, suitable visualization techniques of data after statistical analysis are crucial for the researches' and physicians' understanding. Common statistical techniques to analyze data in clinical research are logistic regression models. Among these, the application of binary logistic regression analysis (LRA) has greatly increased during past years, due to its diagnostic accuracy and because scientists often want to analyze in a dichotomous way whether some event will occur or not.
