Introduction: In non-small-cell lung cancer (nsclc), invasive mediastinal staging is typically
used to guide treatment decision-making. Here, we present clinical practice guideline …

A novel [Co(pentaamine)Cl] 2+ complex having all tertiary amine or pyridine donors has
been synthesized (pentaamine = 1,4-bis(2‘-pyridyl)-7-methyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane). This …

The acute respiratory distress syndrome is characterized by impairment of the alveolar-capillary
barrier. Our laboratory has shown that distal lung epithelial cell (DLEC) amiloride-…

The structures of some [CoCl(N) 5 ]ZnCl 4 ·xH 2 O complexes have been determined by
single crystal X-ray diffraction. Only one isomeric form is possible for each of [CoCl(tacn)(en)]…

Acid−base hydrolytic chemistry of surface anchored [Sn]-NEt 2 moieties with dialkyne terminated
molecules has been used to construct close packed thin films of good structural quality …

A scanning tunneling microscope tip is used to create nanoscale contacts on degenerately
doped n+− Si (100) surfaces. Current-voltage spectra are recorded as the tip transitions from …

The organization of 1,9-decadiyne and p-diethynylbenzene monolayers on Si(100)/SiO 2 /SnO
2 surfaces is determined with a unique and powerful molecular modeling approach, …

The [Co(dmptacn)Cl] 2+ (dmptacn = 1,4-bis(pyridylmethyl)-1,4,7-triazacyclononane)
complex has been shown to be the asym isomer through 1D and 2D NMR studies, its optical …

Current–voltage characteristics of tunnel contacts to n + -Si(100) surfaces are modified
through covalently bonded molecules. Scanning tunneling microscopy is used to characterize …

13. ABSTRACT In the near future advances in mechanical and electrical engineering will
enable the production of a wide variety of relatively low cost robotic vehicles. This thesis …
