Theoretical chemical kinetic study of the h-atom abstraction reactions from aldehydes and acids by Ḣ Atoms and ȮH, HȮ2, and ĊH3 radicals
(American Chemical Society, 2014-11-11)We have performed a systematic, theoretical chemical kinetic investigation of H atom abstraction by H atoms and OH, HO2, and CH3 radicals from aldehydes (methanal, ethanal, propanal, and isobutanal) and acids (methanoic ... -
Theoretical chemical kinetic study of the h-atom abstraction reactions from oxygenated species by different radicals
(2014-09-30)This work presents an ab-initio and chemical kinetic study of the H-atom abstraction reactions of ethers and ketones + HO2 radicals, aldehydes and acids + H atoms, OH, HO2 and CH3 radicals and esters + OH and HO2 radicals. ... -
A theoretical framework for examining IT governance in living laboratory ecosystems
(Springer Verlag, 2014-06-02)In recent years Living Labs, which embody an open innovation milieu, have gained currency as representing a salient catalyst for Smart City research and development. However, the current body of Living Lab research, in ... -
Theoretical kinetics analysis for Ḣ atom addition to 1,3-Butadiene and related reactions on the Ċ4H7 potential energy surface
(American Chemical Society, 2017-09-08)The oxidation chemistry of the simplest conjugated hydrocarbon, 1,3-butadiene, can provide a first step in understanding the role of polyunsaturated hydrocarbons in combustion and, in particular, an understanding of their ... -
A theoretical study of cyclic ether formation reactions
(Elsevier, 2016-06-09)Cyclisation reactions of hydroperoxyl-alkyl radicals forming cyclic ethers and hydroxyl radicals play an important role in low temperature oxidation chemistry. These reactions contribute to the competition be-tween radical ... -
Theoretical study of the rate constants for the hydrogen atom abstraction reactions of esters with •OH radicals
(American Chemical Society, 2014-05-30)A systematic investigation of the rate constants for hydrogen atom abstraction reactions by hydroxyl radicals on esters has been performed. The geometry optimizations and frequency calculations were obtained using the ... -
Theoretical, experimental and modelling studies of the reactions of hydrogen atoms with C2 – C5 alkenes and cyclisation reactions of hydroperoxyl-alkyl radicals forming cyclic ethers and hydroxyl radicals
(NUI Galway, 2021-06-22)This thesis presents a hierarchical study of the reactions of Ḣ atom addition to and abstraction from both linear and branched C2 – C5 alkenes. The subsequent C–C and C–H β-scission reactions and H-atom transfer reactions ... -
Theorizing digital experience: Four aspects of the infomaterial
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2021-03-22)With the goal of finding new philosophical foundations upon which indigenous theory can be built in information systems (IS), this chapter proposes building around the notion of infomateriality inspired from Henri Bergson’s ... -
Theorizing Progress: Women in Science, Engineering, and Technology in Higher Education
(Wiley, 1999-08)A conceptual framework of positions on women in Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) was developed, showing a chronological progression of the main approaches to women's underrepresentation in SET during the past 20 ... -
The Theory of Film Practice: Thirty Years Later
(Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2013)Jean-Luc Godard prefaced his exhibition Voyages en utopie with the explanation that it was an intimate voyage that is permeable to the world s upheavals; it is from the tension between these two poles: autobiographical ... -
Therapeutic applications of endothelial progenitor cells for diabetic ulcer healing
