The novel orange to red color Bi 24 Al 2- x Cr O 39 (0≤ ≤ 0.5) compounds were successfully synthesized by the solid state method. With increase of content, colors are tuned from dark red. X-ray diffraction patterns all samples indexed with cubic 2 structure space group I 23. oxidation in oxide is confirmed be +4 valence photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR)....

We conduct a detailed, micro-level analysis of 126 strategic alliance contracts, all of which were written to sponsor early-stage, genomics-based biotechnology research at small R&D companies. All contracts prescribe staged investment decisions to capture the option value associated with the sequential resolution of uncertainty, but the contracts deal with agency problems differently. Among pre...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a promising technology that can be applied in bifunctional process which wastewater treatment is used for renewable electric power generation. In this study, novel transition metal-modified Keggin-type lacunar polyoxometalate salts (L-POMs) Cs5PMo11M(H2O)O39 (M = Fe, Co), were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, SEM, EDX, IR, TGA/DSC, UV-Vis/DSR s...
