Allelopathic interactions between the brown algal genus lobophora (dictyotales, phaeophyceae) and scleractinian corals
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-01-05)
Allelopathy has been recently suggested as a mechanism by which macroalgae may outcompete corals in damaged reefs. Members of the brown algal genus Lobophora are commonly observed in close contact with scleractinian corals ...
Modeling ignition of a heptane isomer: improved thermodynamics, reaction pathways, kinetics, and rate rule optimizations for 2-methylhexane
(American Chemical Society, 2016-03-21)
Accurate chemical kinetic combustion models of lightly branched alkanes (e.g., 2-methylalkanes) are important to investigate the combustion behavior of real fuels. Improving the fidelity of existing kinetic models is a ...
Metallacarboranes and their interactions: theoretical insights and their applicability
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2012-02-14)
This tutorial review will deal with the study of metallacarboranes and their interactions with other molecules from a theoretical point of view. This contribution is devoted to guide experimental chemists through calculations ...
Controlling the pirouetting motion in rotaxanes by counterion exchange
(American Chemical Society, 2014-07-25)
A fine control of the pirouetting motion of rotaxanes was achieved by using a series of metallabisdicarbollides. The latter were used as anions in the protonated form of benzylic amide macrocycle-containing fumaramide ...
Light driven styrene epoxidation and hydrogen generation using H2O as an oxygen source in a photoelectrosynthesis cell
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-10-02)
A dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cell (DSPEC) has been prepared for the oxidation of alkenes to
epoxides and evolution of hydrogen using water as an oxygen source and sunlight. A Ru oxidation catalyst,
2,2+
, is ...
Synthesis of migrastatin analogues as inhibitors of tumour cell migration: Exploring structural change in and on the macrocyclic ring
(Wiley, 2015-11-04)
Migrastatin and isomigrastatin analogues have been synthesised in order to contribute to structure-activity studies on tumour cell migration inhibitors. These include macrocycles varying in ring size, functionality and ...
Proper formulation of viscous dissipation for nonlinear waves in solids
(Acoustical Society of America, 2013-03)
To model nonlinear viscous dissipative motions in solids, acoustical physicists usually add terms the material time derivative of the Lagrangian strain tensor E, to the elastic stress tensor; derived from the expansion to ...
Elastic Cherenkov effects in transversely isotropic soft materials-I: Theoretical analysis, simulations and inverse method
(Elsevier, 2016-06-25)
A body force concentrated at a point and moving at a high speed can induce shear-wave Mach cones in dusty-plasma crystals or soft materials, as observed experimentally and named the elastic Cherenkov effect (ECE). The ECE ...
Tailoring cocrystal and salt formation and controlling the crystal habit of diflunisal
(American Chemical Society, 2016-09-26)
Crystal habit modification of the drug diflunisal that normally grows into extremely thin, long needles has been achieved by breaking the stacking effect with the help of coformers. Eight new cocrystals are reported, along ...
Edge wrinkling in elastically supported pre-stressed incompressible isotropic plates
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2016-09-07)
The equations governing the appearance of flexural static perturbations at the edge of a semi-infinite thin elastic isotropic plate, subjected to a state of homogeneous bi-axial pre-stress, are derived and solved. The plate ...
