Abstract:
... The properties of the liposome membrane as a reaction field were investigated by focusing on the Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction as a case study. Use of the liposomes existing in the gel phase resulted in the enhanced activity of the substrates and furnished the products with same E/Z stereoselectivity as in the liposome-free system. The membrane environment in the gel phase most likely assisted ...

Abstract:
... The purpose of this paper is to investigate the links between smart cities and urban energy sustainability. Because achieving a “smart city” is a wide agenda rather than a specific set of interventions, smartness itself cannot easily be measured or quantifiably assessed. Instead, we understand smart cities to be a broad framework of strategies pursued by urban actors, and ask whether and how smart ...

Abstract:
... Operation of the production system and of the utility system is commonly optimized separately without feedback between them. This separated planning in general increases total costs. Conceptually, a joint optimization of production and utility system is desirable, but often not possible in practice. We overcome such practical limitations by proposing a repeated Stackelberg game. In the proposed me ...

Abstract:
... The VCD spectra of several chiral compounds containing the CF₃ group are reviewed and analyzed. The list of compounds contains pharmaceutically relevant molecules as well as simple model molecules, having the value of case studies. In particular we point out the importance of the sign of the VCD band relative to some stretching normal mode of CF₃ in the region 1110–1150 cm⁻¹, as diagnostic of the ...

... Creativity and mobility are often connected but rarely studied from a process perspective. In this article, we study the strategies and practices of creativity-related long- and short-term mobilities during the careers of 61 artists and scientists who live and work in peripheral locations. We identified home-based visiting practices, transnational circulating practices, and local (im)mobility prac ...

Abstract:
... The theories of Henri Lefebvre on the Production of Space have been influential to our understanding of the ontology of space. This paper complements work which draws on Lefebvre but extends its benefit for planning research through a dialogue with the philosophy of Jacques Rancière. Specifically, the paper formulates a novel investigative framework for examining the micropolitics of the productio ...

Abstract:
... Natural products (NPs) are important sources of clinical drugs due to their structural diversity and biological prevalidation. However, the structural complexity of NPs leads to synthetic difficulties, unfavorable pharmacokinetic profiles, and poor drug-likeness. Structural simplification by truncating unnecessary substructures is a powerful strategy for overcoming these limitations and improving ...

Abstract:
... This article analyses debates on the difference between organic and conventional agriculture. Departing from earlier accounts on the subject, it is argued that rather than conceptualising the subject as a case of diminishing differences, research should also focus on examining the making of these differences. This latter approach is connected to the notion that organic agriculture, understood as a ...

Abstract:
... The space sector is a new area of development for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies. However, it deals with strong particularities which complicate the use of LCA. One of the most important is that the space industry is the only human activity crossing all stages of the atmosphere during the launch event or the atmospheric re-entry. As a result, interactions occur not only with the natural envir ...
