In Gecko-based applications like Firefox, the
-moz-background-inline-policy CSS property specifies how the background image of an inline element is determined when the content of the inline element wraps onto multiple lines. The choice of position has significant effects on repetition.
Note: This property has been standardized with the name
box-decoration-break, except that
box-decoration-break applies to borders, padding, margins etc in addition to backgrounds. The
continuous value is equivalent to
slice, and the
each-box value is equivalent to
clone. An equivalent to the
bounding-box value was not included in the standard.

- The background image is positioned (and repeated) as if the inline box were not broken across lines, and then this long rectangle is sliced into pieces for each line.

Ski Trip Used it to work out a ski trip list (first trip in 20 years). Initial list included way too much stuff - after the trip, I cut out half the junk. Next trip, l'll probably refine the list further.
Great little app for Wild Campers Needs a bit of spit and polish but does what it says on the tin. A running weight total would be a useful feature. Thanks
Organized I've been in the BSA for some 15 years, and keeping yourself and the kids in the troop organized, making sure everyone knows what they should bring and what they can bring, and then to make sure they all have it is definitely a struggle, the interface and usability of the app makes sharing and 'checking' gear lists much easier. I look forward to updates and innovations.
No offline storage? I don't want my personal gear list stored in the cloud no option for no account usage?
Crash a lot ... :(

EB5Info.com the source for news and information on the USCIS EB-5 Visa Immigrant Investor program and is powered by USAdvisors, a Registered Investment Advisory Firm, that performs independent Risk Analysis and Due Diligence on EB-5 Visa Regional Center projects to help clients make educated decisions based on facts related to the EB-5 Visa investment. The site's purpose is to inform and educate potential EB-5 visa investors and their counsel on the securities and immigration issues related to making an informed EB-5 visa investment.
We are independent financial analysts, economists, accountants, statisticians and mathematicians that produce EB-5 Visa Regional Center project comparative analysis reports for foreign national investors based on topics covering job creation methodology, the strategic plan, management, risk factors, risk mitigation, safety, return, exit strategy, escrow and industry overview among many others. We have developed an approach to quantitatively assess the risks involved with the two key questions of the EB-5 visa project investment decision:
1. What is the probability that the jobs will be created within the time allotted and that those jobs will be acceptable to USCIS ?
2. What is the probability that principal will be returned at term? Is the exit strategy clearly defined and achievable?
This empirical analysis provides the foreign national investor with the information they need from an independent, professional resource that will help guide them to making the best possible investment decision for them and their family.
Our clients are referred to us by the top immigration, tax and general practice law firms as well as Private Banks, wealth management firms and other financial advisory professionals who need substantive information on the risks involved in these highly illiquid, private placement investments.
We do not accept EB-5 Regional Center's Finders Fees. Our goal is to provide accurate, reliable information on the risks associated with the EB-5 Visa investment, developers and asset class and inform our clients on which projects have the highest probabilities of success to both create jobs and return the capital invested.

A woman brings balloons and flowers to a memorial at the house where a 7-year-old Aiyana Jones was shot and killed by police. (Carlos Osorio / Associated Press)
Detroit -- Michigan State Police will investigate the events that led to the death of a 7-year-old girl who was shot Sunday by a Detroit police officer.
Detroit police officials on Sunday asked Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy's advice whether an outside agency should investigate the shooting of Aiyana Jones, as opposed to Detroit's own detectives, said Maria Miller, spokeswoman Worthy's office.
Miller said "the prosecutor's office is the lead law enforcement agency in Wayne County, and (Worthy) was asked for her advice and opinion as to whether an independent agency should investigate" Sunday's fatal shooting of Aiyana Jones, which occurred when officers from the Detroit Police Special Response Team raided her east-side flat looking for a murder suspect. During the raid, an officer's gun discharged, shooting Aiyanna in the head and neck.
After the police investigation, Worthy's office will probe the matter, Miller said.
"We will still have our own independent investigation into the police-involved shooting," Miller said. "Our public integrity unit will conduct the investigation after the police investigation wraps up."
Worthy said in a statement released this morning that Detroit officials asked her to facilitate the State Police probe.
"On Sunday, I was approached by the Detroit Police Department about having an outside agency investigate the fatal shooting death of 7-year-old Aiyana Jones," Worthy said. "I agree that it is most appropriate that this be done independently."
Worthy said she has contacted the Michigan State Police.
"They have consented to investigate this matter," she said. "The Detroit Police Department will cooperate fully with the investigation."
Detroit police said today they are continuing their investigation into Aiyana Jones' death. She was sleeping on a couch when she was struck in the neck/head area during the police raid at about 12:40 a.m. Sunday at a two-story duplex in the 4000 block of Lillibridge.
"This is a terrible, terrible tragedy for everyone involved," Second Deputy Chief John Roach said today.
After throwing a concussion grenade through a window, police charged into the home and an officer's weapon fired after there reportedly was some sort of contact between the officer and Aiyana Jones' grandmother, Mertilla Jones, 46.Mertilla Jones has denied there was any sort of contact between her and police.
Mertilla Jones was released from custody Sunday afternoon, and it remained unclear if she will face charges. Police held her for more than 12 hours, during which time she also spent several hours hospitalized with what police said were medical issues.
At a press conference in front of the home Sunday evening, Mertilla Jones said there was no struggle: "I hit the floor when I heard them hit the window.
"They blew my granddaughter's brains out. They killed her right before my eyes. I watched the light go out of her eyes. I seen it."
Officers arrested a 34-year-old murder suspect at the scene, but it wasn't clear if he was arrested in the raid on the downstairs or upstairs apartment.
At a memorial service Sunday night, Mertilla Jones chanted that she wanted the police to "release her son" from custody. It was unclear whether she was speaking of the arrested suspect.
"At this point, we don't know yet if the suspect arrested on Friday is her son or not," Roach said today.
Detroit Police Chief Warren Evans was out of the country on vacation when the incident occurred and is due back in the city on Tuesday.
The Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality has called Sunday's incident unique in the city's history because of the use of a stun grenade tossed into the crowded apartment. The group said it will call for the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate police procedures used in the raid.

UNCW MarineQuest Recieves NOAA Funding for Marine Debris Outreach Program
This fall UNCW MarineQuest will hit the road with its life-size inflatable whale classroom to educate upper elementary and middle school students about environmental issues related to marine debris. The yearlong project Traveling Through Trash: Coastal Migratory Animal Encounters with Marine Debris will serve rural schools in the coastal carolinas. The goals of the project are to increase student awareness of the sources of marine debris and to encourage their participation in ocean stewardship. For more information contact Dr. Kezios.
Shark Safety Statement
At no time will we force a camper to enter the water if they express concern for their safety. Whenever MarineQuest puts campers in the water, we first consult with the lifeguards and check the overhead visual reportings from local agencies. Please note that we are guests in an ocean which is inhabited by sharks, sting rays, jelly fish and other creatures that can be curious and sometimes dangerous. Before campers enter the water, our lifeguards goes in first and we establish a safety zone in which the kids must stay. We avoid piers and fishing areas. We do not allow MarineQuest campers in the water anytime around dusk which is the time of day sharks most frequently approach the inner coastal area. During our Surf-n-Science camps there are multiple instructors in the water with the campers and lifeguards on the watch on the beach. While we cannot guarantee a shark will never interfere with our campers, we do everything we can to make sure we are aware of our surroundings to the best of our ability.
MarineQuest Selected to Participate with Foldscope
Based on its work with youth and plankton monitoring in our coastal waters MarineQuest has been selected to participate in the beta testing of Foldscope, an Origami based print-and-fold paper-microscope designed for rugged field settings. Foldscope is an initiative from a research team at Stanford University focused on democratizing science by developing scientific tools that can scale up to match problems in global health and science education. If you would like to learn more about this initiative, see the inspirational TED talk by Dr. Prakash.

Pennsylvania's Credit Rating Cut by Moody's on Budget
July 21 (Bloomberg) -- Pennsylvania's general-obligation rating was cut one step by Moody's Investors Service, which said this year's budget depends on one-time revenue fixes while rising pension costs will limit the state's finances.
The reduction to Aa3, the fourth-highest grade, affects about $13.1 billion in debt, the company said. Pennsylvania has a "growing structural imbalance," Moody's said in a release.
"Large and growing pension liabilities coupled with modest economic growth will limit Pennsylvania's ability to regain structural balance in the near term," the company said.
The state's unfunded pension liability is set to grow by 38 percent to $65 billion in 2018, according to state estimates.
Pennsylvania lawmakers recessed for the summer without voting on a bill backed by Governor Tom Corbett that would shift some of the burden of funding retirement benefits to new state and school workers. The 65-year-old Republican, who's running for re-election in November, is urging legislators to return and deal with the issue he's called the state's "biggest fiscal challenge."
"It's clear that this pension crisis has put severe strain on Pennsylvania's finances," Corbett said in a statement. "As families struggle with skyrocketing property taxes, pension costs are consuming more than 60 cents of every new dollar of state general-fund revenues. Doing nothing is not an option and doing nothing fails our families."
Funding Gaps
Financing retiree benefits is a deepening challenge for localities nationwide as they recover from the 18-month recession that ended in 2009. The average public system had about 72 percent of the money needed to meet retirement obligations in 2013, the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College said.
Pennsylvania administers two pension plans, covering about 700,000 people. In 2013, the combined funded ratio dropped to 62 percent from 75 percent in 2010, and Standard & Poor's expects it to continue falling, the company said in April.
S&P last week said it will decide in the next few months whether to lower Pennsylvania's AA rating, third highest. Eric Kim, a director at Fitch Ratings, which also grades it AA, said last week a cut is "certainly more likely than not."
A Pennsylvania general-obligation bond due in June 2027 traded today at an average yield of 2.8 percent, an average 0.85 percentage points over benchmark munis, compared with an average premium of 0.87 percentage points for the first half of the year, data compiled by Bloomberg show.

I worked at Asurion full-time (Less than a year)
The Company have very good programs. It is a work from home opportunity very is training and the pay was ok.
the trainers were very rude. There was more down time do to their personal issues than class time.. Did not get all of the training before going live, so we had to be cut short daily to go back to class to review the things that we were not taught and that we did poorly on the calls. There system had a lot of issues and viruses had my pc checked several times and the conclusion came every time I had to download a program from them.

Why should a medical staff use formal reentry programs such as CPEP to assess a practitioner's needs and design an educational program rather than using internal resources? Grace says that CPEP has more experience providing these services than the average medical staff does.
"It gives [practitioners] the context of knowing what the educational needs are, and also, since we have a lot of experience assisting physicians through the educational processes, we make pretty specific educational recommendations," Grace says.
Nevertheless, medical staffs may want to consider how many of their practitioners are eligible for reentry programs and whether the numbers are high enough to warrant the creation of an internal reentry program. Alternately, several medical staffs may consider joining together to form such a program.
CPEP keeps a close watch over practitioners in its programs. The practitioners submit materials outlining what practice activities and procedures they are performing. Once a month, CPEP discusses the practitioner's activities and their outcomes, if applicable, with the practitioner.
Also on a monthly basis, the mentor submits written reports to CPEP about the practitioner's progress.
"Every three or four months we [send] a written report both to the client and to the referring organization," says Anna Wegleitner, MD, associate medical director at CPEP. "If somebody's only in a four-month reentry plan, it might be that the final summary report is their [only] report."
If the referring organization is a hospital with a credentials committee, these reports contain valuable competency data that the committee can use to evaluate the practitioner's progress and eligibility for graduating from the reentry program and taking a more active role on the medical staff.

DEFINITION of 'Gearing Ratio'
A general term describing a financial ratio that compares some form of owner's equity (or capital) to borrowed funds. Gearing is a measure of financial leverage, demonstrating the degree to which a firm's activities are funded by owner's funds versus creditor's funds.
Also known as the Net Gearing Ratio.
BREAKING DOWN 'Gearing Ratio'
The higher a company's degree of leverage, the more the company is considered risky. As for most ratios, an acceptable level is determined by its comparison to ratios of companies in the same industry. The best known examples of gearing ratios include the debt-to-equity ratio (total debt / total equity), times interest earned (EBIT / total interest), equity ratio (equity / assets), and debt ratio (total debt / total assets).
A company with high gearing (high leverage) is more vulnerable to downturns in the business cycle because the company must continue to service its debt regardless of how bad sales are. A greater proportion of equity provides a cushion and is seen as a measure of financial strength.

What It Is
The Stencil Art activity book from Klutz lets kids dab and squish the included dabbers into different colored ink to create stenciled scenes of art. The kit comes with four stencil sheets featuring 72 different shapes, an ink pad featuring eight bright colors, a felt tip pen, and a storage box built into the book. The book provides 48 pages filled with inspiration and instructions on how to create different types of designs using the kit and the instructions are easy-to-follow from start to finish.
This book offers pages for "free play" in the beginning so you get a sense of how to use the ink dabbers, mix colors, and create different effects. As your skills advance, the book advances with you, teaching more advanced techniques as you go, such as masking & layering designs. This process we think helps to eliminate the frustration kids can sometimes feel in duplicating the sample art featured throughout the book.
When you are done dabbing and stenciling, you can also use the black felt pen to add a bit more character to your designs. All the stencils are kid-friendly but it's the combination of using the abstract stencils that we think really lets kids creativity shine. By combining these you can create your own unique designs and animals such as fish or snakes.
Is It Fun?
This is a fun activity kit that offers a lot of repeat play while encouraging creativity. It's also the type of activity that is easy enough to create fun designs quickly and easily but also challenge kids as their skills advance.
Who It's For
The Stencil Art activity kit is for ages 8 and up.
What To Be Aware Of
The ink is filled with pigment, which makes it super bright on the pages but also super permanent. So we suggest laying down newspaper and wearing old clothes as you work.
Keep your dabbers separated by colors otherwise you will muddy the ink pads.
To avoid smearing your designs, wipe down your stencils before and after use.
Additional ink pads and dabbers are sold separately.

[Synthesis and antimicrobial ivestigation of 8-quinolinols glucosaminides].
Chupakhina, T A; Katsev, A M; Kur'ianov, V O
In the phase transfer system solid calcium carbonate--acetonitrile per acetylated O-beta-D-glucosaminides of 8-quinolinol, 2-methyl-8-quinolinol and 5-chloro-8-quinolinol were synthesized. Zemplen deacetylation was led to corresponding trioles. Obtained O-beta-D-glucosaminides were identified with 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Antimicrobial activity of deacetylated forms has been studied in a test of inhibition of bioluminescence of marine luminescent bacteria Vibrio fischeri F1 and method of the serial breeding on the museum steams of Escherichia coli, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Bacillus cereus, Micrococcus luteus. It was established that glycosylation decrease antimicrobial activity in comparison with non-glycosilated 8-quinolinols. PMID:23189563
Redox properties of 8-quinolinol and implications for its mode of action.
Chobot, Vladimir; Drage, Sigrid; Hadacek, Franz
8-Quinolinol (oxine, 8-hydroxyquinoline) is a simple aromatic alkaloid with allelopathic, antibacterial, antifungal, and cytotoxic activities. Generally, it is assumed that 8-quinolinol toxicity depends on transition metal chelation that negatively affects their availability for metalloenzymes in the cell or reactive oxygen species generation (ROS), which are formed following reduction of molecular oxygen by autoxidation of the redox active metal central atom of the 8-quinolinol complex. On the contrary, beneficial effects of 8-quinolinol and its derivatives in the medication of certain degenerative diseases are known. In this context, the activity of 8-quinolinol derivatives is attributed to their antioxidant activity following iron complex formation. To address this controversial issue, we explore the possible anti- or pro-oxidant effects of 8-quinolinol and its iron complexes in the deoxyribose degradation assay, by cyclic voltammetry and in a biological assay. The antibacterial effects of 8-quinolinol and its complex with iron were evaluated on Curtobacterium flaccumfacies and Paenibacillus amylolyticus. 8-Quinolinol showed strong antioxidant activity in the deoxyribose degradation assay. This activity may not depend exclusively on iron chelation, but probably more on the notable reducing properties of 8-quinolinol; it proved to be a more efficient antioxidant than the flavonoids catechin and quercetin. By contrast, 8-quinolinol showed no pro-oxidative effects in the deoxyribose degradation assay, both in free form and in complex with iron, as it may occur with redox cyclers. Cyclic voltammetry confirmed this too. 8-Quinolinol significantly inhibited bacterial growth and respiration. Idiosyncratically, its 50:1 mixture with iron(III) ions was less active compared with free 8-quinolinol; it even caused a U-shaped nonlinear hormetic effect on growth and failed to inhibit respiration as totally as the pure mixture; the respiration was even accelerated compared with the control as a result of lower stress. Our results support the notion that complex formation with either iron or other transition metals affects the reducing power of 8-quinolinol, but, in contrast to general assumptions, this study finds no support that complex formation with iron represents the major mode of action.

Structure, magnetic behavior, and anisotropy of homoleptic trinuclear lanthanoid 8-quinolinolate complexes.
Chilton, Nicholas F; Deacon, Glen B; Gazukin, Olga; Junk, Peter C; Kersting, Berthold; Langley, Stuart K; Moubaraki, Boujemaa; Murray, Keith S; Schleife, Frederik; Shome, Mahasish; Turner, David R; Walker, Julia A
Three complexes of the form [Ln(III)3(OQ)9] (Ln = Gd, Tb, Dy; OQ = 8-quinolinolate) have been synthesized and their magnetic properties studied. The trinuclear complexes adopt V-shaped geometries with three bridging 8-quinolinolate oxygen atoms between the central and peripheral eight-coordinate metal atoms. The magnetic properties of these three complexes differ greatly. Variable-temperature direct-current (dc) magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that the gadolinium and terbium complexes display weak antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor magnetic exchange interactions. This was quantified in the isotropic gadolinium case with an exchangecoupling parameter of J = -0.068(2) cm(-1). The dysprosium compound displays weak ferromagnetic exchange. Variable-frequency and -temperature alternating-current magnetic susceptibility measurements on the anisotropic cases reveal that the dysprosium complex displays single-molecule-magnet behavior, in zero dc field, with two distinct relaxation modes of differing time scales within the same molecule. Analysis of the data revealed anisotropy barriers of Ueff = 92 and 48 K for the two processes. The terbium complex, on the other hand, displays no such behavior in zero dc field, but upon application of a static dc field, slow magnetic relaxation can be observed. Ab initio and electrostatic calculations were used in an attempt to explain the origin of the experimentally observed slow relaxation of the magnetization for the dysprosium complex. PMID:24520896
Electrochemistry of oxo-technetium(V) complexes containing Schiff base and 8-quinolinol ligands
Refosco, F.; Mazzi, U.; Deutsch, E.; Kirchhoff, J.R.; Heineman, W.R.; Seeber, R.
The electrochemistry of six-coordinate, monooxo technetium(V) complexes containing Schiff base ligands has been studied in acetonitrile and N,N'-dimethylformamide solutions. The complexes have the general formula TcOCl(L/sub B/)/sub 2/ or TcO(L/sub T/)(L/sub B/), where L/sub B/ represents a bidentate-N,O Schiff base ligand or a bidentate-N,O 8-quinolinol ligand and L/sub T/ represents a tridentate-O,N,O Schiff base ligand. Cyclic voltammetry at a platinum-disk electrode, controlled-potential coulometry, and thin-layer spectroelectrochemistry were used to probe both the oxidation and the reduction of these complexes. The results of these studies, and previously reported results on the analogous Re(V) complexes, can be understood within a single general reaction scheme. The salient features of this scheme are (i) one-electron reduction of Tc(V) to Tc(IV), (ii) subsequent loss of a ligand situated cis to the Tc/identical to/O linkage, and (iii) subsequent isomerization of this unstable Tc(IV) product to more stable complex in which the site trans to the Tc/identical to/O linkage is vacant. The Tc(IV) complexes can also be reduced to analogous Tc(III) species, which appear to undergo the same ligand loss and isomerization reactions. The technetium complexes are 400-500 mV easier to reduce than are their rhenium analogues. The 8-quinolinol ligands, and especially the 5-nitro derivative, both thermodynamically and kinetically stabilize the Tc(IV) and Tc(III) oxidation states. These electrogenerated species are unusual in that they constitute the bulk of the known examples of monomeric Tc(IV) and Tc(III) complexes containing only N- and O-donating ligands. 34 refs., 9 figs., 1 tab.
Studies of the degradation mechanism of organic light-emitting diodes based on tris(8-quinolinolate)aluminum Alq and 2-tert-butyl-9,10-di(2-naphthyl)anthracene TBADN
Viktor V. Jarikov; Denis Y. Kondakov
Previously, radical cation of tris(8-quinolinolate)aluminum (Alq�+) has been associated with the instability of Alq films subjected to holes-only electrical current. Yet, the questions remain (i) whether Alq�+ is the primary source of the intrinsic degradation of bipolar organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) based on Alq, (ii) whether Alq�+ reactions result in deep charge traps in holes-only devices as found in bipolar
Determination of rare earth elements in seawater by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry with on-line column pre-concentration using 8-quinolinole-immobilized fluorinated metal alkoxide glass
NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)
Kajiya, Tasuku; Aihara, Masato; Hirata, Shizuko
The on-line column pre-concentration technique with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been developed using micro-column of 8-quinolinole-immobilized fluorinated metal alkoxide glass (MAF-8HQ). The aim of method was to determine rare earth elements (REEs) (Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu) in seawater. A 6.4 ml of seawater sample was passed through the column for 2 min, after washing the column with ultrapure water, the adsorbed REEs were subsequently eluted into the plasma with 1.4 M nitric acid. Sample pH, sampling and eluting flow rates and acidity of eluent were optimized. Detection limits (3 ?) based on three times standard deviations of water by 8 replicates were in the range from 0.11 pg ml -1 for Y to 0.30 pg ml -1 for Tb, and the precisions by a 10 pg ml -1 REEs standard solution ( n=8) were in the range from 4.7% for Tm to 8.7% for Tb and Yb. Analysis of one sample could be processed in 7 min. The proposed method was verified by determination of REEs in the two certified reference materials (CRMs) of seawater, CASS-4 and NASS-5, and the method was also applied to determine REEs in the costal seawater of Hiroshima Bay, the Seto Inland Sea, Japan.

Anupama Goswami; Ajai K. Singh; B. Venkataramani
The silica gel modified with (3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane) was reacted with 5-formyl-8-hydroxyquinoline (FHOQx) to anchor 8-quinolinol ligand on the silica gel. It was characterised with cross polarisation magic angle spinning (CPMAS) NMR and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transformation (DRIFT) spectroscopy and used for the preconcentration of Cu(II), Pb(II), Ni(II), Fe(III), Cd(II), Zn(II) and Co(II) prior to their determination by flame atomic absorption
Capillary electrophoretic assay for the stability of tris(8-quinolinolato)gallium(III) in tablet formulations.
Foteeva, Lidia S; Stolyarova, Natalya V; Timerbaev, Andrei R; Keppler, Bernhard K
A capillary electrophoresis (CE) method for testing the stability of a novel oral anticancer metallodrug, tris(8-quinolinolato)gallium(III) (KP46), is proposed. As both the intact drug and its eventual impurity or/and decomposition product, 8-quinolinol, are not charged (at most of the pH range), the micellar-mediated CE mode based on using micellar concentrations of sodium dodecyl sulfate was employed. The running electrolyte conditions were optimized in order to resolve the peak of KP46 from the signal of 8-quinolinol, as well as from these of tablet matrix components. The stability of KP46 in different organic and water-organic solvent systems was studied regarding its limited solubility and the following recovering experiments. The method thus developed was applied to the determination of KP46 in tablet formulations, for which sample preparation method, namely powdering and ultrasound-assisted extraction (with 50% aqueous acetone), was tested and optimized in terms of procedure time (10 min). Different in the content of the active substance (10-30%) batches of tablets stored for two years after preparation were validated and recoveries obtained at the level from 97 to 102% confirmed sufficient drug stability. This principal finding was verified by means of an independent method, gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). PMID:18579328
Homogeneous liquid-liquid solvent extraction. [Propylene carbonate-water system
Ting, C.S.; Williams, E.T.; Finston, H.L.
This investigation was undertaken to extend the technique of homogeneous liquid-liquid solvent extraction into propylene carbonate. The mutual solubilities of propylene carbonate in water and vice-versa are shown in the phase diagram. The extraction of a variety of monodentate and bidentate ligand complexes with Fe(III) as a function of ligand concentration and pH were investigated. The monodentate ligands studied include, thiocyanate, chloride, bromide, benzoate, and bathophenanthrolines. The bidentate ligands studied include the various ..beta..-diketones, 8-quinolinol, and also cupferron which was studied under normal conditions, i.e., not under conditions of homogeneous extraction. The homogeneous extraction proved effective for a variety of chelate complexes and ion association complexes of iron giving, in all cases, very rapid extraction as compared with the slow rate of conventional extraction methods.
Phosphorescent white organic light-emitting diodes by electron transporting layer engineering.
Lee, Seok Jae; Koo, Ja Ryong; Lee, Dong Hyung; Lee, Ho Won; Lee, Kum Hee; Yoon, Seung Soo; Kim, Young Kwan
The authors describe the fabrication of white organic light-emitting diodes (WOLEDs) with dual electron transporting layers (D-ETL) using 2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanhroline/ 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (BPhen) and bis-(2-methyl-8-quinolinolate)-4-(phenylphenolato) aluminum/BPhen. Stepwise D-ETL easily transports electrons easily to the emitting layer and reduces the leakage of electrons. Therefore, WOLEDs with D-ETL show higher external quantum efficiency (EQE) when compared to a control WOLED with a single ETL device. The optimized WOLEDs showed a peak EQE of 13.0%, luminous efficiency of 27.4 cd/A, and Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage coordinates of (0.40, 0.39) at 1000 cd/m2. PMID:25942876
Recognizing acute health effects of substitute fungicides: are first-aid reports effective?
Teschke, K; Hertzman, C; Wiens, M; Dimich-Ward, H; Hershler, R; Ostry, A; Kelly, S J
Recently, many British Columbia sawmills stopped using traditional chlorophenate anti-sapstain fungicides and substituted 2-(thiocyanomethylthio) benzothiazole (TCMTB) and copper-8-quinolinolate (Copper 8). We conducted a cross-sectional study with two aims: to ascertain which acute health effects, if any, were associated with the use of the substitute fungicides; and to determine the effectiveness of first-aid records as a means of detecting acute health outcomes. Workers in five coastal sawmills were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire about symptoms considered potentially related and unrelated to fungicide exposure, and about injuries commonly reported in sawmills. In addition, we collected first-aid records from the mills, and asked senior workers to estimate the duration of exposure to fungicides for each job. Symptoms found to be consistently elevated in TCMTB mills included dry skin around the eyes, blood-stained mucus from the nose, nose bleed, peeling skin, burning or itching skin, and skin redness or rash. No symptoms were consistently elevated in the Copper 8 mills. Symptoms related to TCMTB exposure were recorded only 12 times in first-aid logs during the study period (versus 335 questionnaire self-reports). This low symptom-recording frequency may be a function of established patterns of first-aid use in which illness symptoms are reported less frequently than injuries. PMID:1585948
Photocontrolled nitric oxide release from two nitrosylruthenium isomer complexes and their potential biomedical applications
NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)
Liu, Jiao; Duan, Qingqing; Wang, Jianru; Song, Zhen; Qiao, Xiaoyan; Wang, Hongfei
Nitric oxide (NO) has key regulatory roles in various biological and medical processes. The control of its local concentration, which is crucial for obtaining the desired effect, can be achieved with exogenous NO donors. Release of NO from metal-nitrosyl complexes upon exposure to light is a strategy that could allow for the site-specific delivery of the reactive species NO to physiological targets. The photodissociation of NO from two nitrosylruthenium(II) isomer complexes {cis- and trans-[Ru(OAc)2NO]} was demonstrated by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry spectra, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra further prove the photoinduced NO release by spin trapping of NO free radicals upon photoirradiation. Real-time NO release was quantitatively measured by electrochemistry with an NO-specific electrode. The quantitative control of NO release from [Ru(OAc)2NO] in aqueous solutions was done by photoirradiation at different wavelengths. Both isomers show photoinduced damage on plasmid DNA, but the trans isomer has higher cytotoxicity and photocytotoxicity activity against the HeLa tumor cell line than that of the cis isomer. Nitrosylruthenium(II) complex, with 8-quinolinol derivatives as ligands, has a great potential as a photoactivated NO donor reagent for biomedical applications.
Efficient deep-blue organic light-emitting diodes with a 1,4-(dinaphthalen-2-yl)-naphthalene.
Seo, Ji Hoon; Lee, Seok Jae; Hyung, Gun Woo; Lee, Kum Hee; Park, Jung Keun; Yoon, Seung Soo; Kim, Young Kwan
Deep-blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with nearly 5% external quantum efficiency were demonstrated using a 1,4-(dinaphthalen-2-yl)-naphthalene (DNN) host. The 4,4'-bis(9-ethyl-3-carbazovinylene)-1,1'-biphenyl (BCzVBi) dopant that was used in this experiment effectively accepted energy from the DNN host via F�rster energy transfer because the photoluminescence spectrum of the DNN host showed better spectra overlap with the ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) absorption spectrum of the BCzVBi dopant than the photoluminescence spectrum of the 2-methyl-9,10-bis(naphthalen-2-yl)anthracene host did. Moreover, the DNN host had a higher energy bandgap (3.5 eV) than the BCzVBi dopant did (3.0 eV), while the MADN host had the same energy bandgap as the BCzVBi dopant. The optimized deep-blue device also had ETL of bis-(2-methyl-8-quinolinolate)-4-(phenylphenolato)aluminium which showed smoother sigma of 0.6 nm and higher Tg of 92 degrees than those of 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (14.8 nm and 62 degrees C). The deep-blue device exhibited a peak current efficiency of 5.68 cd/A, a peak external quantum efficiency of 4.89%, and Commission Internationale d' Eclairage coordinates of (0.15, 0.13).

Ultrafast energy transfer in oligofluorene-aluminum bis(8-hydroxyquinoline)acetylacetone coordination polymers.
Montes, Victor A; Zyryanov, Grigory V; Danilov, Evgeny; Agarwal, Neeraj; Palacios, Manuel A; Anzenbacher, Pavel
Understanding the excited-state dynamics in conjugated systems can lead to their better utilization in optical sensors, organic photovoltaics (OPVs), and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). We present the synthesis of self-assembled coordination polymers comprising two types of fluorescent moieties: discrete fluorene oligomers of a well-defined length (n = 1-9) connected via aluminum(III) bis(8-quinolinolate)acetylacetone joints. Due to their well-defined structure, these materials allowed for a detailed study of energy migration processes within the materials. Thus, femtosecond transient spectroscopy was used to study the ultrafast energy transfer from the oligofluorene to the quinolinolate moieties, which was found to proceed at a rate of 10(11) s(-1). The experimental results were found to be in agreement with the behavior predicted according to the Beljonne's improved Forster model of energy transfer. In addition, the solid-state and semiconductor properties of these coordination polymers allowed for the fabrication of OLEDs. Preliminary experiments with simple two- and three-layer devices fabricated by spin-coating yield bright yellow electroluminescence with maximum brightness of 6000 cd/m(2), with a turn-on voltage of approximately 6 V and a maximum external quantum efficiency of up to 1.2%, suggesting their potential for use in PLED applications.

Spectrophotometric catalytic determination of small amounts of rhenium in mineralized rocks and molybdenite
Simon, F.O.; Grimaldi, F.S.
Rhenium is determined by spectrophotometry of the tellurium sol formed by the reduction of tellurate by stannous chloride under the catalytic influence of rhenium. A detailed investigation of the conditions for high sensitivity and stability at lowest concentration levels of rhenium is presented as well as the behavior of 26 ions. The method is applied to the determination of some tenths of 1 p.p.m. or more of rhenium in a 1-mg. aliquot of mineralized rocks, mixtures of molybdenite and rocks, and molybdenite concentrates. The practical quantity limit of detection is 2 ?? 10-10 gram of rhenium. Samples are decomposed with a mixture of CaO, CaCl2, and MgO. On leaching, most constituents of the sample are precipitated either as calcium salts or hydroxides, except for rhenium and a small amount of molybdenum which pass into the filtrate. Residual molybdenum is removed by extraction with 8-quinolinol in chloroform. Better than 95% recoveries are obtained with two fusions with flux.

Bleiweis, Arnold S. (The Pennsylvania State University, University Park), and Leonard N. Zimmerman. Properties of proteinase from Streptococcus faecalis var. liquefaciens. J. Bacteriol. 88:653�659. 1964.�The extracellular group D streptococcal proteinase is inactivated by chelating agents [ethylenediamine-tetraacetate (EDTA), o-phenanthroline, and 8-quinolinol] and mercaptans (cysteine, mercaptoethanol, and thioglycolate). The optimal inhibitory concentrations of EDTA (4 � 10?4m) and cysteine (2.5 � 10?2m) promote rapid loss of activity with 50% inactivation after 4 to 5 min. Enzyme inactivated by either EDTA or cysteine is reactivated about 80% by 4 � 10?4m Zn++. Such reactivation of EDTA-treated enzyme is prevented completely by iodoacetate (5 � 10?2m) and of cysteine-treated enzyme by oxidizing conditions, which suggests that the zinc binding-site may be a thiol. High levels of zinc (10?3m) do not allow reactivation in either case, and actually inhibit native proteinase. Ca++, Mg++, Co++, Fe++, Cu++, and Ni++ do not reactivate cysteine-treated enzyme, but Mn++ (10?4 to 8 � 10?4m) allows 27% reversal. N2-held, cysteine-treated enzyme can be spontaneously reactivated if the substrate is flushed with O2 during the assay; leakage of air or O2 into the samples before assay leads to loss of reactivatability. Native proteinase does not lose activity after dialysis for 43 hr against 0.07 m phosphate buffer. It is concluded that the group D proteinase obtained from Streptococcus faecalis var. liquefaciens is probably a zinc metalloenzyme that is unlike the thiol-activated, group A streptococcal proteinase, but similar to the mammalian carboxypeptidase A.

A Novel Method Applied in Determination and Assessment of Trace Amount of Lead and Cadmium in Rice from Four Provinces, China
Li, Shan; Wang, Mei; Yang, Bingyi; Zhong, Yizhou; Feng, Le
Heavy metal contamination of soils or water can lead to excessive lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) levels in rice. As cumulative poisons, consumption of Pb and Cd in contaminated rice may cause many toxic effects in humans. In the present study, Pb and Cd levels in rice samples from Hubei, Jiangxi, Heilongjiang, and Guangdong provinces in China were analyzed by cloud point extraction and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). The heavy metals in the rice samples were reacted with 8-quinolinol to form a complex at pH 9.0 and 40�C. Analytes were quantitatively extracted to a surfactant-rich phase (Triton X-45) after centrifugation and analyzed by GFAAS. The effects of experimental conditions, including pH, concentration of reagents, and equilibration time and temperature, on cloud point extraction were optimized efficiently using Plackett�Burman and Box�Behnken experimental designs. Under the optimum conditions, good linearity was observed in the concentration ranges of 0.5�5 �g/L for Pb and 0.05�0.50 �g/L for Cd. The limits of detection were 0.043 �g/L for Pb with a concentration factor of 24.2 in a 10 mL sample and 0.018 �g/L for Cd with a concentration factor of 18.4 in a 10 mL sample. Twenty rice samples from four provinces were analyzed successfully, and the mean levels of Pb and Cd in the rice were all below their maximum allowable concentrations in China. Comparing the tolerable daily intakes given by FAO/WHO with the mean estimated daily intakes; Pb and Cd mean daily intake through rice consumption were 0.84 �g/kg bw/day and 0.40 �g/kg bw/day, which were lower than the tolerable daily intakes.

8-Hydroxyquinoline anchored to silica gel via new moderate size linker: synthesis and applications as a metal ion collector for their flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination.
Goswami, Anupama; Singh, Ajai K; Venkataramani, B
The silica gel modified with (3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane) was reacted with 5-formyl-8-hydroxyquinoline (FHOQ(x)) to anchor 8-quinolinol ligand on the silica gel. It was characterised with cross polarisation magic angle spinning (CPMAS) NMR and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transformation (DRIFT) spectroscopy and used for the preconcentration of Cu(II), Pb(II), Ni(II), Fe(III), Cd(II), Zn(II) and Co(II) prior to their determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The surface area of the modified silica gel has been found to be 227 m(2) g(-1) and the two pKa values as 3.8 and 8.0. The optimum pH ranges for quantitative sorption are 4.0-7.0, 4.5-7.0, 3.0-6.0, 5.0-8.0, 5.0-8.0, 5.0-8.0 and 4.0-7.0 for Cu, Pb, Fe, Zn, Co, Ni and Cd, respectively. All the metals can be desorbed with 2.5 mol l(-1) HCl or HNO(3). The sorption capacity for these metal ions is in range of 92-448.0 micromol g(-1) and follows the order Cd

This place is good for long stays, especially if you want to cook. The bed was comfortable. I like that the TV had a sleep timer in case I fell asleep while watching TV. There was also adequate room for a large supply of clothing and other worldly possessions. The kitchen was good enough for feeding two. My only gripe was that the cleaning crew kept slamming the door in the rooms near my room, which kept waking me up every now and then. They also forgot my kitchen towels.

Additional Location Information
Monument Beach is a lovely village located about 4 miles from the Bourne Bridge. The house is on Phinney's Harbor, which opens onto Buzzards Bay just south of the Cape Cod Canal. The bay is protected and there are never waves of much size so it's perfect for children. Very close by (a quick walk) are a great ice cream store, bakery and pizza place as well as kayak rental. Within a very short drive you'll find two great restaurants and a few cafes. You are a short drive from Falmouth and Woods Hole as well as bike paths, shopping, dining, boating etc. Easy day trips include Provincetown, Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, Plimoth Plantation and Boston.
