Asymmetric synthesis of functionalized chiral diphosphines via organopalladium promoted hydrophosphination and diels-alder reactions by Yuan, Mingjun

“…The coordination properties and absolute configurations of the diphosphine ligands were established by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The optically pure 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane ligands with ester and keto functionalities could be liberated in high yields from the corresponding dichloro palladium complexes by treatment with aqueous potassium cyanide.…”

Hydrothermal synthesis of vanadium dioxide nanoparticles codoped with magnesium/tungsten by Tang, Kai Wen

“…Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a compound that exhibits a reversible phase transition, which makes it one of the most promising candidates for the usage of smart window coatings as a thermochromic material. For a pure VO2 that contains no doping, the phase transition occurs at 68°C which is relatively much higher than the room temperature of 25°C. …”

Analysis of strategies in translating idiomatic expressions from English into Malay by Farah Syazana Suhaimi

“…This study employs quantitative and descriptive quantitative methodologies and defines an idiom as a multiword expression that are either pure or semi idioms whose meaning and use are conventional, and contain at least one nominal element which functions as a noun. …”

Learning battery model parameter dynamics from data with recursive Gaussian process regression by Aitio, A, Joest, D, Sauer, DU, Howey, DA

“…As a result, existing techniques based on fitting equivalent circuit models may exhibit inaccuracy at extremes of performance and over long-term ageing, or instability of parameter estimates. Pure data-driven techniques, on the other hand, suffer from a lack of generality beyond their training dataset. …”

Linear auto-calibration for ground plane motion by Knight, J, Zisserman, A, Reid, I

“…Planar scenes would appear to be ideally suited for self-calibration because, by eliminating the problems of occlusion and parallax, high accuracy two-view relationships can be calculated without restricting motion to pure rotation. Unfortunately, the only monocular solutions so far devised involve costly nonlinear minimizations, which must be initialized with educated guesses for the calibration parameters. …”

Regimental agents as Language Intermediaries in the Eighteenth-Century Habsburg Realms by Pataki, K

“…Nevertheless, his perceptivity to language preferences was potentially motivated not purely by business interests, but by his confessional convictions, too. …”

Experimental study of an asymmetric valveless pump to elucidate insights into strategies for pediatric extravascular flow augmentation by Anatol, J., García-Díaz, M., Barrios-Collado, C., Moneo-Fernández, J. A., Horvath, M., Parra, T., Castro-Ruiz, F., Roche, E. T., Sierra-Pallares, J.

“…We conclude that due to the absence of reverse flow and its mechanical simplicity, pure asymmetric pumping is promising for selected cardiovascular applications with less complexity than other valveless techniques.…”

Heterostructures of atomically flat semiconductor nanocrystals: from synthesis to LED applications by Izmir, Merve

“…Such advantages make them a promising candidate for solution-processable light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with superior features such as high efficiency, low power consumption, pure colour, and design flexibility. To accomplish tunable excitonic properties in colloidal NPLs, alloying in the host nanocrystals is also a viable option. …”

Gradient bandgap-tunable perovskite microwire arrays toward flexible color-cognitive devices by Fu, Yue, Yuan, Meng, Zhao, Yingjie, Dong, Meiqiu, Guo, Yangwu, Wang, Kui, Jin, Chunqi, Feng, Jiangang, Wu, Yuchen, Jiang, Lei

“…Herein, gradient bandgap-tunable perovskite microwire arrays with excellent crystallinity and pure crystallographic orientation are realized by the synergy of the capillary-bridge assembly method and mild component engineering processing, yielding high-performance integrated color-cognitive devices with the spectral resolution of 14 nm ranging from 405 nm to 760 nm, responsivities over 103 A W−1, and detectivities over 1015 Jones. …”

Solvent effect on the folding dynamics and structure of E6-associated protein characterized from Ab initio protein folding simulations by Xu, Zhijun, Lazim, Raudah, Sun, Tiedong, Mei, Ye, Zhang, Dawei

“…On the basis of the close agreement between the calculated helix contents from AHBC simulations and experimental results, we observed based on the presented simulations that the two ends of the peptide may simultaneously take part in the formation of the helical structure at the early stage of folding and finally merge to form a helix with lowest backbone RMSD of about 0.9 Å in 40% 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol solution. However, in pure water, the folding may start at the center of the peptide sequence instead of at the two opposite ends. …”

Automated Social Science: Language Models as Scientist and Subjects by Manning, Benjamin S.

“…We provide evidence that the insights from these simulations of social interactions are not available to the LLM purely through direct elicitation. When given its proposed structural causal model for each scenario, the LLM is good at predicting the signs of estimated effects, but it cannot reliably predict the magnitudes of those estimates. …”

Graphitic carbon/paraffin phase change materials for thermal energy storage by Muhammad Hafiz Mohamad Saffie

“…From DSC and TGA measurements, the graphitic carbon/paraffin composites have a high energy storage efficiency of more than 90% paraffin loading and found to have improved thermal performance compared with either pure paraffin or graphitic carbon. Our results show good thermal stability over 5 thermal cycles and latent heat variation of less than 10% when comparing the first and fifth cycle for all samples. …”
