Published: July 2014

Dipotassium [nickel(II) zirconium(IV)] tris-(orthophosphate) was prepared from a self-flux in the system K2O-P2O5-NiO-K2ZrF6. The title compound belongs to the langbeinite family and is built up from two [MO6] octa-hedra [M = Ni:Zr with mixed occupancy in ratios of 0.21 (4):0.79 (4) and 0.29 (4):0.71 (4), respectively] and [PO4] tetra-hedra inter-linked via vertices into a (3) ∞[M 2(PO4)3] framework. Two independent K(+) cations are located in large cavities of the framework, with coordination numbers to O(2-) anions of nine and twelve. The K, Ni, and Zr sites are located on threefold rotation axes.

Understanding the relationship between Learned Helplessness (LH) and Psychological Capital (PsyCap) is essential for developing effective interventions for Indigenous adolescents. This study explored the role of PsyCap as a mediator in the link between LH and Psychological Well-Being (PWB). Total of 173 Indigenous adolescents (85 boys and 88 girls) from sixth to eleventh grade at government residential schools.

Background: The global prevalence of older adults with diabetes has increased, and family caregivers in Indonesia play a critical role in managing diabetes and providing personal care. However, caregiving can be complex and challenging, often negatively affecting caregivers' quality of life (QoL).

Objective: This study aimed to develop and test a hypothesized causal model of QoL among Indonesian family caregivers who care for dependent older persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in 2024.

Objectives: Ultrasound is a promising low-risk imaging modality that can provide objective airway measurements that may circumvent limitations of drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE). This study was devised to identify ultrasound-derived anatomical measurements that could accurately predict collapse pattern and location based on the VOTE criteria (VOTE: Velum, Oropharynx, Tongue, and Epiglottis).

Methods: Ultrasonography was performed on 20 adult patients of various airway subsites while awake and sedated with concurrent endoscopy performed during drug-induced sleep.

The fast evaluation of the Jacobian is an essential part of the optimization of optical systems using the damped least-squares algorithm. While finite differences provide an intuitive way to approximate derivatives, algorithmic differentiation is a technique to evaluate them exactly. However, applying algorithmic differentiation to a ray tracing routine for optical systems with many parameters is computationally expensive, where the main costs are caused by the determination of the ray-surface intersection.

Electronic address:

Compared to outdoor mango cultivation in the tropics, greenhouse cultivation in temperate regions is less reported due to its short history and small scale. Here, we evaluated for the first time the taste-focused quality of greenhouse-grown mangoes (Irwin) by GC-MS metabolic profiling and sensory evaluation for over three years (2021-2023). The relative standard deviation in sensory evaluation scores was approximately 15 % each year.
