cleaning,   etc   ; aldehydes; chemistry;     Show all 3 Subjects
Abstract:
... Despite common perception, the use of strong bases in Wittig chemistry is utterly unnecessary: we report a series of novel ion-pair phosphonium carboxylate reagents which are essentially “storable ylides”. These reagents are straightforwardly prepared in excellent yields, and their fluxional nature permits clean olefination of a broad range of aldehydes and even hemiacetals. ...

Abstract:
... Innovation contests are increasingly used by businesses as an instrument for open innovation to address sustainability related questions. However, according to the open innovation literature, one of the main pitfalls of this approach can be the mismatch between the solutions proposed by non-experts and the companies’ capabilities to implement such solutions. We introduce the concept of collaborati ...

Abstract:
... Fouling and cleaning of water treatment ultrafiltration membranes are well understood, but long-term changes (i.e. ageing) have not been fully explored. Changes in physical and chemical characteristics, and changes in membrane performance, have been attributed to ageing; however, the tools to probe these effects and their causality are limited. Most membrane ageing research focuses on bench-scale ...

Abstract:
... Construction and maintenance of road pavements are both expensive and environmentally unfriendly. The prolongation of pavement life can reduce material consumption and produce a cleaning effect. This study attempts to propose a lateral control scheme for autonomous vehicles that aims at maximizing pavement life. In the key unit of the scheme, the trajectory-oriented method and fatigue damage-orien ...

Abstract:
... In developing the focus theory of normative conduct (FTNC), Cialdini et al. (1990), proposed and demonstrated that social anti-littering norms reduced littering in 1) clean environments (signaling that others did not litter) and 2) by adding a single piece of litter to an otherwise clean environment. The assumption was that the single piece of litter would focus people's attention on the descripti ...

Abstract:
... Hyperspectral image (HSI) is easily corrupted by different kinds of noise, such as stripes, dead pixels, impulse noise, Gaussian noise, etc. Due to less consideration of the structural specificity of stripes, many existing HSI denoising methods cannot effectively remove the heavy stripes in mixed noise. In this paper, we classify the noise on HSI into three types: sparse noise, stripe noise, and G ...
