Astley's Amphitheatre and the early circus in England, 1768-1830 by Kwint, M

“…<p>Founded in Lambeth in 1768 by the ex-cavalry sergeant Philip Astley (1742-1814), Astley's was one of the first entertainments to mix traditional acrobatic feats with the new trick-riding in a ring, thus founding the modern circus. As the leading example of the artform, the permanent Amphitheatre just south of Westminster Bridge went on to be immortalised by Dickens and parodied by Punch, before closure in 1893. …”

Evolved P450 mutants as general oxidation catalysts by Harwood, LA

“…Improvements to a previous synthetic route, two routes based on a C(sp²)–C(sp²) bond disconnection and a final route constructing the aryl ring via Robinson annulation will be discussed. New methodologies including an intramolecular Heck cross-coupling and a Lewis acid catalysed coupling of furfuryl alcohols with silyl enol ethers will be presented.…”

Organic donor-acceptor cocrystals for multiferroic applications by Wang, Zongrui, Zhang, Qichun

“…The cocrystallization strategy has provided an efficient route to fulfill room temperature magnetoelectricity in single phase owing to the long-range ordered π-π stacking (donor-acceptor assembled) network, long-lived excitons (with μs lifetime), spin orders (±1/2 s pin) and charge transfer (CT) dipoles in the assembled crystal lattice. …”
