Theoretical Study and Luminescence Properties of the Cyclic Cu(3)(dppm)(3)OH(2+) Cluster. The First Luminescent Cluster Host at Room Temperature.

The [Cu(3)(dppm)(3)OH](BF(4))(2) cyclic cluster host is found to be luminescent at 298 K (lambda(max) = 540 nm; tau(e) = 89 +/- 9 &mgr;s; Phi(e) = 0.14 +/- 0.01) in degassed ethanol solutions and at 77 K (lambda(max) = 480 nm; tau(e) = 170 +/- 40 &mgr;s; Phi = 0.

Retained fetal membranes in the mare: A retrospective study.

A retrospective study of 3456 deliveries was conducted from the records of four Standardbred broodmare farms where mares were bred by artificial insemination and maintained under close veterinary supervision. Retained fetal membranes (RFM) were observed in 10.6% of the deliveries.

'Mother Needles': lessons on inter-ethnic psychiatry in Malaysian society.

Details of curing rituals symbolize social traumas. Western based psychiatrists are often not very successful in treating Malay patients because of the difficulty of understanding the ritual signs. This paper focusses upon cultural details as they relate to a curer.

Surgical correction of pseudoankylosis and microgenia: report of case.

The coronoid process was fused to the zygomatic buttress and posterior aspect of the maxilla, resulting in a restricted mandibular opening. In addition to the functional limitation, the patient also had a skeletal deformity of microgenia. A coronoidectomy released the extracapsular ankylosis and restored normal mandibular function, and an augmentation genioplasty corrected a contour deficient chin.

Small segmental and unitooth ostectomies to correct dentoalveolar deformities.

The experiences gained in the use of small-segment and unitooth ostectomies completed in a two-stage technique are presented. In the adult patient, this procedure has become reliable to improve both form and function and to give a stable, predictable result.
