This article assesses the benefits and possible pitfalls resulting from the concurrency of powers between the OFT and industry regulators under the Competition Act 1998. One of the main advantages is the extension of competition enforcement powers to sectoral regulators who have detailed knowledge and experience of their respective industries. Achieving a broadening of the regulators’ powers wi...

We have demonstrated the generation of a 320 Gb/s NyquistOTDM signal by rectangular filtering on an RZ-OTDM signal with the filter bandwidth (320 GHz) equal to the baud rate (320 Gbaud) and the reception of such a Nyquist-OTDM signal using polarization-insensitive time-domain optical Fourier transformation (TD-OFT) followed by passive filtering. After the time-to-frequency mapping in the TD-OFT...

the kinetics of the de complexation by hydroxyl ions of some pervanadyl, molybdate and tungstate amionocarboxylate complexes have been studied spectrophotometrically by means of a stopped flow technique. the chelate groups used were the iminodiacetic acid (ida), ethylenediarnine-n,n' -diacetic acid (edda), nitrilotriacetic acid (nta) and ethylene diamine-n,n,n' ,n'-tetraacetic ac...

In this work, the solubilities of pharmaceutical cocrystals in solvent/anti-solvent systems were predicted using PC-SAFT in order to increase the efficiency of cocrystal formation processes. Modeling results and experimental data were compared for the cocrystal system nicotinamide/succinic acid (2:1) in the solvent/anti-solvent mixtures ethanol/water, ethanol/acetonitrile and ethanol/ethyl acet...

One-, two- and three-dimensional nanostructures of copper molybdenum oxide hydroxide were successfully constructed by a simple approach through a pH-dependent dimensional transformation of ammonium copper molybdate. Thin nanoplates of copper molybdate, which were obtained by sintering the two-dimensional nanobelts of copper molybdenum oxide hydroxide, exhibited remarkably high reversible lithiu...
