4-Nitro-N-(3-nitro-phen-yl)benzamide.

The title compound, C(13)H(9)N(3)O(5), prepared as a solid derivative of 3-nitro-analine via reaction with 4-nitro-benzoyl chloride, crystallizes in a chiral space group. The mol-ecule is non-planar with a dihedral angle of 26.1 (1)° between the two benzene rings.

Distinct cellular pools of perilipin 5 point to roles in lipid trafficking.

The PAT family of lipid storage droplet proteins comprised five members, each of which has become an established regulator of cellular neutral lipid metabolism. Perilipin 5 (also known as lsdp-5, MLDP, PAT-1, and OXPAT), the most recently discovered member of the family, has been shown to localize to two distinct intracellular pools: the lipid storage droplet (LD), and a poorly characterized cytosolic fraction. We have characterized the denser of these intracellular pools and find that a population of perilipin 5 not associated with large LDs resides in complexes with a discrete density (~1.

2,5-Dimethyl-1,3-dinitro-benzene.

The title compound, C(8)H(8)N(2)O(4), was prepared via the nitration of p-xylene. The mol-ecules are stacked along the c axis in an antiparallel manner. The two nitro groups are rotated relative to the benzene ring with dihedral angles of 44.

The Relationship between Performance in Near Match-to-Sample Tasks and Fluid Intelligence.

Match-to-sample is a timed task in which a subject is presented with a visual stimulus (the probe) and must select a match to that stimulus (the target) from among an array of distractors. These tasks are frequently employed as tests of basic cognitive abilities and demonstrate consistent correlations with measures of intelligence. In the current study, a match-to-sample task was modified to produce near-match conditions (trials for which no exact match existed).

Hookah use among college students from a Midwest University.

National data indicate nearly a quarter of college students smoked from a hookah at some point in their lifetime regardless of gender. To address this issue, researchers assessed the perceptions, knowledge, beliefs of hookah users at a large Midwestern University and also determined what other drug related high-risk behaviors were associated with this behavior. An anonymous, online survey was sent to 2,000 randomly selected undergraduate students from a large Midwestern University.

Baccalaureate nursing student experiences at a camp for children with diabetes: the impact of a service-learning model.

Camp nurses deliver health care in a non-traditional setting. Research indicates that camp has a positive impact on campers with diabetes mellitus, but the impact on student nurse knowledge of diabetes care and confidence in the role as a member of the health care team is unknown. This study examined the experiences of student nurses at a summer residential camp for children with diabetes using a service-learning framework.

Development of polymer-membrane based electrodes for suramin.

The development of a polymer membrane-based electrode to measure the anionic drug suramin in buffered saline and biological samples is described. A large non-equilibrium, steady state EMF response is observed toward suramin, and judicious choice of the polymer membrane components allows for adjustment of the dynamic range of the electrode. The optimized membrane for use in the toxic suramin range consists of 25 wt% tridodecylmethyl ammonium chloride, 55 wt% bis-2-ethylhexyl sebacate, and 20 wt% Pellethane.

A low-temperature phase of bis(tetrabutylammonium) octa-μ(3)-chlorido-hexachlorido-octahedro-hexatungstate.

The title compound, (C(16)H(36)N)(2)[W(6)Cl(14)], undergoes a reversible phase transition at 268 (1) K. The structure at 150 and 200 K has monoclinic (P2(1)/c) symmetry. Both crystallographically independent tungsten chloride cluster anions sit on crystallographic inversion centers [symmetry codes: (-x, -y + 1, -z) and (-x + 1, -y + 2, -z)].
