Abstract:
... In cities in temperate climate zones, the elderly, disabled and socially deprived are most vulnerable to extreme heat, as witnessed by increased mortality rates during heat waves in Europe and North America. Many cities, however, lag behind in the protection of vulnerable citizens against heat stress, an issue gaining importance in the face of climate change, ongoing urbanization and an ageing pop ...

alkenes; carbon; hafnium; ligands; polymerization
Abstract:
... An imino N-heterocyclic carbene underwent three sequential benzyl migrations upon reaction with tetrabenzylhafnium, resulting in complete removal of the carbene carbon from the ligand. The resulting eneamido-amidinato hafnium complex showed alkene polymerization activity comparable to that of a precatalyst containing the intact iminocarbene ligand. ...

Abstract:
... In Italy the “minimal pruning system” (a definition derived from the grapevine pruning technique) is generally utilized in peach orchards. One of its main rules is to initially obtain a “free spindle bush” shape, avoiding cutting back the scion at planting time but using lateral shoots to form future fruiting branches. This experiment involved a comparison of three high density peach plots ...

Abstract:
... During their life cycle, citrus plants can experience different processes involving separation of cells by dissolution of cell adhesion materials and breakdown of cell walls at specific sites on the plant body. Abscission enables both vegetative and reproductive organs to be shed in response to developmental, hormonal and environmental cues. From an evolutionary point of view, abscission is a high ...
