Aqueous biphasic systems were investigated for the production of formate-amine adducts by metal-catalyzed CO2 hydrogenation, including typical scrubbing solutions as feedstocks. Different hydrophobic organic solvents and ionic liquids could be employed as the stationary phase for cis-[Ru(dppm)2 Cl2 ] (dppm=bis-diphenylphosphinomethane) as prototypical catalyst without any modification or taggin...

We describe a syntactically annotated parallel corpus containing typologically partly different languages, namely English, Swedish and Turkish. The corpus consists of approximately 300 000 tokens in Swedish, 160 000 in Turkish and 150 000 in English, containing both fiction and technical documents. We build the corpus by using the Uplug toolkit for automatic structural markup, such as tokenizat...

The molecular weight of a thylakoid membrane polypeptide with the apparent molecular weight 11 000 was determined by measurement of the sedimentation velocity, the diffusion and the ef­ fective partial specific volume. The molecular weight was found to be 6300 and that of the polypeptide-dodecyl sulphate micelle was found to be 11 200. The frictional ratio was 1.35. In ad­ dition, we determined...

Roads are land transportation facilities that very important in facilitating economic relations activities, both between one city and another. Good road conditions will facilitate the movement of people relationships other social activities. Meanwhile, if there is damage, it not only hinder but accidents can occur. Many factors cause including weather, weather on surface when rains, scorching h...

Selected environmentally benign iron compounds (synthetic magnetite and ferrous gluconate) have been evaluated as corrosion inhibitors for oil-well steel (N-80) in 50 mg/l sulphide concentration at various pH ranging from 5.5 to 11.5 and at High Temperature, High Pressure (HTHP) conditions by the weight loss method. The test temperatures were 150 °F, 275 °F and 350 °F respectively for pressures...

BACKGROUND New anticoagulants may improve health outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation, but it is unclear whether their use is cost-effective. METHODS AND RESULTS A Markov state transition was created to compare 4 therapies: dabigatran 150 mg BID, apixaban 5 mg BID, rivaroxaban 20 mg QD, and warfarin therapy. The population included those with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation who w...

Let p be a prime congruent to 1 modulo 4, and let t, u be rational integers such that (t + u √ p )/2 is the fundamental unit of the real quadratic field Q(√p ). The Ankeny-Artin-Chowla conjecture (AAC conjecture) asserts that p will not divide u. This is equivalent to the assertion that p will not divide B(p−1)/2, where Bn denotes the nth Bernoulli number. Although first published in 1952, this...

The BRITICE-CHRONO consortium of researchers undertook a dating programme to constrain the timing advance, maximum extent and retreat British–Irish Ice Sheet between 31 000 15 years before present. campaign across Ireland Britain their continental shelves, North Sea included 1500 days field investigation yielding 18 km marine geophysical data, 377 cores sea floor sediments, geomorphological str...
