“Systematic analysis of factors affecting the accuracy of DFT calculations of Si-29 NMR chemical shifts in four-coordinate silicon compounds showed that the best agreement with the experimental values is attained using B1PW91 and PBE0 functionals in combination with the TZP basis set. In calculations of Si-29 chemical shifts by quantum-chemical methods
particular attention should be given to the contribution of relativistic spin-orbit interaction and conformational equilibrium.”
“Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit (coffee bush) is a strictly tropical species that requires warm temperatures for optimal growth. It is drought-tolerant (even during establishment) and can withstand up to 7 months of dry season. L leucocephala oil GNS-1480 extracted from seeds was analyzed to determine it possible uses. The oil content of the seeds was 5.44% and mainly consisted of linoleic acid (51.65%), oleic acid (21.40%), palmitic acid (13.21%) and stearic acid (5.92%). This oil has high vitamin E activity because of its concentration of alpha-tocopherol (175.47 mg/100 g). The weak acid and peroxide values (0.6% and 3.56 mequiv. O-2/kg oil, respectively) were indicators of the good quality of the oil. L. leucocephala
showed high thermal stability (up to 255.47 degrees C) and some absorbance in the UV-B and UV-C ranges. The results showed that this new seed oil can be used as an ingredient in cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparations. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All AZD2014 order rights reserved.”
“OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the length of the second stage of labor in relation to increasing maternal prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) among nulliparous parturient women, and to determine whether route of delivery differs among obese, overweight, and normal-weight women reaching the second stage of labor.
METHODS: We performed a secondary analysis of a multicenter trial of fetal pulse oximetry conducted among 5,341 nulliparous women who were induced or labored spontaneously at 36 weeks or more of gestation. Normal weight was defined as BMI of
18.5-24.9 kg/m,(2) overweight was a BMI of 25.0-29.9 kg/m,(2) and obese was a BMI of 30 or higher.
RESULTS: Of the 5,341 women, 97% had prepregnancy BMI recorded. https://www.selleck.cn/Proteasome.html Of these, 3,739 had BMIs of 18.5 or higher and reached the second stage of labor. Increasing maternal BMI was not associated with second stage duration: normal weight, 1.1 hour; overweight, 1.1 hour; and obese, 1.0 hours (P=.13). Among women who reached the second stage, as BMI increased, so did the likelihood that the woman had undergone induction of labor. Even so, the lack of association between second-stage duration and BMI did not vary by method of labor onset (P=.84). The rate of cesarean delivery in the second stage did not differ by increasing BMI (normal weight 7.1%, overweight 9.6%, obese 6.9%, P=.17).
