A sequential kinetic resolution catalyzed by halohydrin dehalogenase was employed for the synthesis of two valuable enantiopure building blocks. Resolution of methyl 4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate methylester ((R,S)-2) with use of a Trp249Phe mutant of halohydrin dehalogenase yielded methyl 4-cyano-3-hydroxybutanoate methylester ((S)-4) with 96.8% ee (40% yield) and (S)-2 with 95.2% ee (41% yield)...

introduction reducing and optimizing energy consumption and consequently environmental pollution reductions, besides improving building performance providing occupants comfort conditions, make the building's concept closer to the concept of green building and sustainability. once the decision to build green has been made, one of the first steps in the green design process is to establish f...

one potentially basic concept in islam, as a religion, as reflected in the glorious qur’an , is the theory of ‘umma’ (community of muslims).this concept that has been stemmed from islam's political doctrine refers to features such as: tribe, clan, racial groups as well as a nation with stabilizing elements of religion's celestial values under the leadership of one prophet and those wh...

This paper proposes a novel methodology for delineating urban areas based on machine learning algorithm that groups buildings within portions of space sufficient density. To do so, we use the precise geolocation all 12 million in Spain. We exploit building heights to create new dimension areas, namely, vertical land, which provides more accurate measure their size. better understand internal st...
