Resolution and determination of the absolute configuration of the enantiomers of a trans-α-disulfoxide by Allenmark, Stig, Grainger, Richard S., Olsson, Susanne, Patel, Bhaven

“…The absolute configuration of the isolated enantiomers has been determined to be (+)-(S,S), (–)-(R,R) from a comparison of experimental and calculated ECD and VCD spectra. The long-wavelength ECD band at about 330 nm had a positive sign in the (+)-(S,S)-form and a negative sign in the (–)-(R,R)-enantiomer. …”

Inflation and inflation uncertainty in the Euro area by Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Onorante, Luca, Paesani, Paolo

“…A sequential dummy procedure provides further evidence of a structural break coinciding with the introduction of the euro and resulting in lower long-run uncertainty. It also appears that the direction of causality has been reversed, and that in the euro period the Friedman-Ball link is empirically supported, implying that the ECB can achieve lower inflation uncertainty by lowering the inflation rate.…”

Solving transport-density equation with diffusion using the first integral method and the generalized hyperbolic functions method by Moner Soliby, Rfaat

“…Basically, the first integral method (FIM) and the generalized hyperbolic functions method (GHFM) are employed to solve the proposed model and to give compelling evidence that regularization of the conservation law by adding viscosity that will undeniably remove the singularity and the weak solution obtained by the characteristic method. As long as, continuity equation leads to discontinuous solutions, abrupt change of the traffic density; thus the diffusion was introduced so as to prevent incrementally deformation of the wave so that shock, rarefication and singularity will not be existed anymore. …”
