Oil and gas production from unconventional reservoirs (i.e. tight) now accounts for about half of the total US hydrocarbon production from essentially zero ten years ago. Such a drastic increase in production from unconventional resources was made possible ...
Cell-based models are important for deriving mechanistic information about stress response pathways that have evolved to protect cells from toxic insult, such as exposure to environmental pollutants. One determinant of the stress response is the amount of ...
Intermetallic compounds are a promising class of materials as stable and selective heterogeneous catalysts. Here, the (111) and (-1-1-1) single crystal surfaces of the PdGa intermetallic compound were studied as model catalysts with regard to the selective ...
Numerous researches showing various environmental impacts are done on marine plastic pollution. In turn the situation for superficial fresh water is poorly known. In order to measure this pollution in Switzerland three different lake samples (lake Geneva, ...
Owing to their high surface areas, tunable pore dimensions, and adjustable surface functionality, metal-org. frameworks (MOFs) can offer advantages for a variety of gas storage and gas sepn. applications. In an effort to reduce the major energy requirement ...
This paper discusses the occurrence and spatial distribution of metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs: including organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and polycyclic aromatic hy ...
During the first hours after release of petroleum at sea, crude oil hydrocarbons partition rapidly into air and water. However limited information is available about very early evaporation and dissolution processes. We report on the composition of the oil ...
Vibrationally resolved spectra provide a stringent test of the accuracy of theoretical calculations. We combine the thawed Gaussian approximation (TGA) with an on-the-fly ab initio (OTF-AI) scheme to calculate the vibrationally resolved emission spectra of ...
Owing to their high surface areas, tunable pore dimensions, and adjustable surface functionality, metal-org. frameworks (MOFs) can offer advantages for a variety of gas storage and gas sepn. applications. In an effort to help curb greenhouse gas emissions ...
High-valent iron-oxo intermediates are implicated in a variety of oxidative enzymes, many of which are capable of the selective partial oxidn. of strong aliph. and arom. C-H bonds. However, mol. iron-oxo species often lack stability, decaying via pathways ...
