A high density monolayer of diisocyanide on gold surface was utilized as a platform of supported Rh catalyst for selective 1,4-hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The catalyst exhibited high turnover numbers in a range of 50 000 to 150 000 per Rh atom and showed steady catalyst performance over six recycle usages.

Laying out the logic of Bourdieu’s approach to institutional fi elds, this essay argues that Bourdieu’s theorization of the logic of practice is a generic contest for domination in a plurality of homologously organized fi elds. Bourdieu aligns all practices through the logic of domination, which allows him to homologize group relations in every fi eld. This homologization depends on a homogeniz...

The objective of this study was to determine whether somatic cell count (SCC) was an effective test, with a sensitivity exceeding 85%, to determine species-specific bacterial infections. In addition, the relation between the SCC and various udder pathogen groups was investigated. SCC thresholds of greater than 200 000 cells/mL were used in quarter and greater than 150 000 cells/mL in composite ...

Some gastropod specimens belonging to the planorbid genus Ferrissia were recently collected in Lebanon and in Iraq, where the autochthonous species Ferrissia clessiniana (Jickeli, 1882) is supposed to occur. The molecular identification of collected specimens proved that they belong to the allochthonous species Ferrissia fragilis (Tryon, 1863), the protagonist of a dramatic cryptic invasion whi...

In the UK, there are ~20 000 deaths within 30 days of surgery every year, 9000 of which have a cardiac cause. The number of major cardiac complications is likely to be in the region of 150 000 per annum. As 60% of patients who die within 30 days of surgery suffer from coronary artery disease it is reasonable to assume that the majority of cardiac complications of anaesthesia and surgery results...

Earth’s space-debris environment Today’s man-made space-debris environment has been created by the space activities that have taken place since Sputnik’s launch in 1957. There have been more than 4000 rocket launches since then, as well as many other related debris-generating occurrences such as more than 150 in-orbit fragmentation events. tracked, with estimates for the number of objects large...

In both cow's milk and human milk, zinc was associated with proteins of high molecular weight (greater than 100 000), as judged by analysis with Sephadex G-75. Precipitation of the casein at pH 4.6 and filtration of the resultant acid whey on Sephadex G-25 led, however, to the recovery of about 90% of the zinc as a compound of low molecular weight, which was tentatively identified as zinc citra...

Ischemic stroke is among the leading causes of death and disability in the United States and many other industrialized nations. Approximately 500 000 people in the United States have a new or recurrent stroke each year, and approximately 150 000 will die as a result. There are more than 3 000 000 survivors of stroke in the United States. The annual economic costs of stroke in the United States ...
