Suppose we want to market a product or promote an idea or behavior in a society. In order to do so, we can “target” individuals, say by offering free samples of the product or explaining an idea, such as the consequences of drug abuse to teenagers (or college students). These people can then influence other people by word of mouth, and those people in turn can influence more people, and so on, ...

Deracemization, that is, the transformation of a racemate into a single product enantiomer with theoretically 100% conversion and 100% ee, is an appealing but also challenging option for asymmetric synthesis. Herein a novel chemo-enzymatic deracemization concept by a cascade is described: the pathway involves two enantioselective oxidation steps and one non-stereoselective reduction step, enabl...

The research results presented in this paper are related to the specification of a method and models that tackle the problem of manufacturing processes selection and the integration, as soon as possible, of their constraints in the product modelling (i.e. information synthesis). This method is based on a skin and skeleton design/manufacturing interface model that ensures connection between desi...

Land is a scarce resource. It usually traded as real estate, an economic good with market value. Often, this value not negotiated simply between the seller and potential buyer, but based on assessment performed by professional valuer, known surveyor or appraiser. This article questions role emergence of valuers in estate markets. An institutionally embedded framework for valuation intermediatio...

Multi-step cascade reactions have gained increasing attention in the biocatalysis field recent years. In particular, multi-enzymatic cascades can achieve high molecular complexity without workup of reaction intermediates thanks to enzymes’ intrinsic selectivity; and where enzymes fall short, organo- or metal catalysts further expand range possible synthetic routes. Here, we present two enantioc...

In this contribution, we describe a new approach to apply thermodynamically unfavored reactions in synthetic chemistry and integrate them cascade processes. By means of developed procedure for multi-step one-pot syntheses, succeeded completely converting labile Diels-Alder adduct, which strongly tends react back, the target product with high conversion >99% excellent yield by coupling rapid sub...

the ball and beam system is one of the most popular laboratory setups for control education. in this paper, we design a fuzzy pd cascade controller for a ball and beam system using asexual reproduction optimization (aro) technique. the ball & beam system consists of a servo motor, a grooved beam, and a rolling ball. this system utilizes a servo motor to control ball’s position on the beam. chan...

From an overall perspective, the circular use of wood-based construction products can significantly contribute to mitigation climate change. To support development specific products, a general guideline for wood product industry has been created in this research. The is based on principle cascade describing sequential wooden resource different purposes before its final incineration energy use. ...

Soybean is one of the most traded products. Naturally, soy fixes nitrogen through biological symbiosis. Its cultivation transforms natural inert atomic into its reactive forms. The advancement soybean can have environmental impacts, both locally and globally. This study estimated flows their use efficiency in Brazilian production chain applying material flow analysis. We innovate proposing a ne...
