The autoxidative condensation of 2-aryl-2-lithio-1,3-dithianes is here reported. Treatment of 2-aryl-1,3-dithianes with n-BuLi in the absence of any electrophile leads to condensation of three molecules of 1,3-dithianes ...

Semiconductor nanowires made of high refractive index materials can couple the incoming light to specific waveguide modes that offer resonant absorption enhancement under the bandgap wavelength, essential for light harvesting, ...

There is an increasing need for predictive risk assessment of nanomaterials (NMs) using methods that are rapid, accurate and resource efficient. To fulfill this need, the development and use of Quantitative Property Property ...

Dark fermentative biohydrogen production in a thermophilic, xylose-fed (50 mM) fluidised bed reactor (FBR) was evaluated in the temperature range 55-70 °C with 5-degree increments and compared with a mesophilic FBR operated ...

In this letter, we propose an iterative Kalman type algorithm based on posterior linearization. The proposed algorithm uses a nested loop structure to optimize the mean of the estimate in the inner loop and update the ...

This paper presents the remote detection of alpha contamination in a nuclear facility. Alpha-active material in a shielded nuclear radiation containment chamber has been localized by optical means. Furthermore, sources of ...

A mesophilic (37 °C) and a thermophilic (55 °C) two-chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) were studied and compared for their power production from xylose and the microbial communities involved. The anode-Attached, membrane-Attached, ...

Titania particles doped with various concentrations of Erbium were synthesized by the sol-gel method followed by different heat treatments. The shape and the grain growth of the particles were noticeably affected by the ...

The wear resistance of carbide-free bainitic microstructures have recently shown to be excellent in sliding, sliding-rolling, and erosive-abrasive wear. Boron steels are often an economically favorable alternative for ...

Silicene is a graphene-like material with relatively strong spin-orbit coupling exhibiting gapless topologically protected edge states. In addition, it has a buckled structure, and hence, it stands as a feasible candidate ...
