Compounds bearing tetrazole rings are valuable facets in numerous branches of chemistry including metabolic imaging and the production of drugs and high-energy materials. Synthesis of tetrazoles with the help of organocatalysts has intensively been explore ...
Carbon dioxide may constitute a source of chemicals and fuels if efficient and renewable processes are developed that directly utilize it as feedstock. Two of its reduction products are formic acid and methanol, which have also been proposed as liquid orga ...
Securing our energy future while minimizing the associated environmental impacts is a challenging endeavor and the fundamental aspect of sustainable development. The choice of energy resource and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon ...
Understanding the structure and dynamics of water's constituent ions, proton and hydroxide, has been a subject of numerous experimental and theoretical studies over the last century. Besides their obvious importance in acid-base chemistry, these ions play ...
Induction of broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) is a primary goal of HIV vaccine development. VRC01-class bnAbs are important vaccine leads because their precursor B cells targeted by an engineered priming immunogen are relatively common among humans. ...
Monte Carlo simulations are used to systematically investigate the effects of structural topology on the thermodynamics of n-alkanes adsorbed at Bronsted protons in zeolites having one-dimensional channel systems. In zeolites without cages, the enthalpy an ...
In this paper, a thermoviscoplastic constitutive model for geomaterials is presented. The model is formulated based on two aspects: (i) the nonstationary flow surface theory, which is used to describe the viscous behaviour of geomaterials, and (ii) the the ...
Titanium dioxide/multiwall carbon nanotube (TiO2/MWCNT) composites were prepared by sol-gel method with hydrolysis of titanium alkoxide precursor followed by crystallization via hydrothermal treatment at different acid concentrations. Transmission electron ...
The reactions of the tetrasiloxide U(III) complexes [U(OSi(OtBu)3)4K] and [U(OSi(OtBu)3)4][K18c6] with 0.5 equiv. of triphenylphosphine sulfide led to reductive S-transfer reactions, affording the U(IV) sulfide complexes [SU(OSi(OtBu)3)4K2]2, 1, and [{SU(O ...
This paper summarizes the main findings of a long-term research to explore the use of high power electromagnetics in humanitarian demining. A neutralization method based on remote detonation of electrically-activated improvised explosive devices (IED) was ...
