Thermodynamic Properties of -1,1,1,4,4,4-Hexafluorobutene [R‑1336mzz(Z)]: Vapor Pressure, (, , ) Behavior, and Speed of Sound Measurements and Equation of State.

We present experimental measurements of the density, speed of sound, vapor pressure, and dew-point pressure of -1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobutene, which is also known as R-1336mzz(Z). Vapor pressures were measured at temperatures from 330 to 440 K; the dew-point pressure was measured at = 293.15 K.

On experiences of i2b2 (Informatics for integrating biology and the bedside) database with Japanese clinical patients' data.

Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) is a database system to facilitate sharing and reuse of clinical patients' data collected in individual hospitals. The i2b2 provides an ontology based object-oriented database system with highly simple and flexible database schema which enables us to integrate clinical patients' data from different laboratories and different hospitals. 392 patients' data including carcinoma and non-carcinoma specimens from cancer patients are transported from the Integrated Clinical Omics Database (iCOD) to the i2b2 database for a feasibility study to check applicability of i2b2 ontology and database schema on Japanese clinical patients' data.
