Preparative and N.M.R. studies of polyphosphorus ligands and their complexes by Singh Nandha, Balbir

“…When all three phosphorus atoms are coordinated to the same metal atom this leads to considerable ring strain, but nonetheless such complexes are stable, but show interesting variations in their n.m.r. properties. …”

Critical theatricality in the museum space by Scarso, Jacek Ludwig

“…If the terms theatricality and spectacle have been seen as potentially negative by some, symptomatic of an experience economy that risks dumbing down the complexity of culture by appealing to our ever-decreasing attention spans, I refer to these case studies as evidence for a new way in which the theatrical can be used as a powerful, critical tool in the museum experience. …”

Planar antennas with enhanced bandwidth and radiation characteristics by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Naser-Moghadasi, Mohammad, Sadeghzadeh, Ramazan Ali, Virdee, Bal Singh, Limiti, Ernesto

“…In this chapter, novel wideband and ultra-wideband (UWB) antennas that are based on loading the background plane of a monopole radiator with concentric split-ring resonators are presented. It is shown that this modification improves the fractional bandwidth of the antenna from 41 to 87%; in particular, the operational bandwidth of the proposed antennas is double that of a conventional monopole antenna of the same size.…”

Crystal Structure of gamma-Oxapentamidine complexed with d(CGCGAATTCGCG)2. the effects of drug structural change on DNA minor-groove recognition by Nunn, Christine M., Jenkins, Terence C., Neidle, Stephen

“…The amidinium groups of the ligand do not hydrogen bond to bases, but are in close contact with 04' sugar ring atoms. This in part explains the reduced DNA binding affinity of this ligand compared to pentamidine.…”

The significance of perceptions and cultural engagement in the evolution of a European commercial and soft power diplomacy with the emerging Asian giants by Vergeron, Karine Lisbonne-de

“…The focus of my submission is on external perceptions of Europe from the perspectives of the two new great powers in Asia: China and India. It spans over nine years of research. When the work started in 2006, the EU was in deep crisis just a year after the uncertainty that was unleashed by the rejection in France and the Netherlands of the then Constitutional Treaty. …”
