TL;DR: A selective catalytic meta sulfonation of 2-phenylpyridines was found to occur in the presence of (arene)ruthenium(II) complexes upon reaction with sulfonyl chlorides, offering access to atypical regioselectivity for reactions involving chelation-assisted cyclometalation.
Abstract: A selective catalytic meta sulfonation of 2-phenylpyridines was found to occur in the presence of (arene)ruthenium(II) complexes upon reaction with sulfonyl chlorides. The 2-pyridyl group facilitates the formation of a stable Ru–Caryl σ bond that induces a strong para-directing effect. Electrophilic aromatic substitution proceeds with the sulfonyl chloride to furnish a sulfone at the position meta to the chelating group. This new catalytic process offers access to atypical regioselectivity for reactions involving chelation-assisted cyclometalation.

TL;DR: The objective of this review was to critically appraise studies of incidence published in 1980-2010 so that an overall view of trends of these diseases can be found and provide important information for determining changes in rates and understanding variations between countries.
Abstract: Background. Little is known about the worldwide variation in incidence of primary glomerulonephritis (GN). The objective of this review was to critically appraise studies of incidence published in 1980-2010 so that an overall view of trends of these diseases can be found. This would provide important information for determining changes in rates and understanding variations between countries. Methods. All relevant papers found through searches of Medline, Embase and ScienceDirect were critically appraised and an assessment was made of the reliability of the reported incidence data. Results. This review includes 40 studies of incidence of primary GN from Europe, North and South America, Canada, Australasia and the Middle East. Rates for the individual types of disease were found to be in adults, 0.2/100 000/year for membrano-proliferative GN, 0.2/100 000/year for mesangio-proliferative GN, 0.6/100 000/year for minimal change disease, 0.8/100 000/year for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, 1.2/100 000/year for membranous nephropathy and 2.5/100 000/year for IgA nephropathy. Rates were lower in children at around 0.1/100 000/year with the exception of minimal change disease where incidence was reported to be 2.0/100 000/year in Caucasian children with higher rates in Arabian children (9.2/100 000/year) and Asian children (6.2-15.6/100 000/year). Conclusions. This study found that incidence rates of primary GN vary between 0.2/100 000/year and 2.5/100 000/ year. The incidence of IgA nephropathy is at least 2.5/100 000/year in adults; this disease can exist subclinically and is therefore only detected by chance in some patients. In addition, referral policies for diagnostic biopsy vary between countries. This will affect the incidence rates found.

TL;DR: In this paper, the surface of sisal fibres has been modified by mercerization and silane treatment to improve adhesion characteristics and moisture resistance, which is most effective in reducing moisture uptake of fibres in humid environments.

TL;DR: In this article, numerical procedures based on the method of dynamic relaxation with kinetic damping are described for the form finding, analysis and fabrication patterning of wide-span cable nets and grid shells, uniform or variably prestressed fabric membranes and battened membrane roofs.
Abstract: The paper describes numerical procedures, based on the method of dynamic relaxation with kinetic damping, for the form finding, analysis and fabrication patterning of wide-span cable nets and grid shells, uniform or variably prestressed fabric membranes and battened membrane roofs. The historical development of the method is briefly reviewed and a full description is then given which accounts for cable or strut elements, membrane elements and spline beam elements. All of these elements are implemented in their natural stiffness form allowing for gross geometrical and material non-linearities, with automatic controls to ensure stablility and convergence of the method.

TL;DR: In this paper, two approaches are described to the analysis of spatial patterns consisting of several types of points, and some distributional results are given in each case, and a method of Monte Carlo testing conditional on the marginal structure is described.
Abstract: Two approaches are described to the analysis of spatial patterns consisting of several types of points. The first approach uses a method of asymptotically unbiased estimation of the second moment distribution; the second uses methods based on regions of empty space in the patterns. Some distributional results are given in each case, and a method of Monte Carlo testing conditional on the marginal structure is described. The methods are illustrated by being applied to some physiological data.
