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.…”

Expedient synthesis of heterocycles and methyl sulfonyl compounds via C-X BONDS (X = O, N, S) construction by Jiang, Yaojia

“…In chapter 3, we have described two methodologies to synthesize multi-substituted pyridines from rhodium-catalyzed nitrene reaction and DBU-mediated ring opening of 2-allyl-2H-azirines. In chapter 4, we have described a radical strategy promoted by copper, oxygen and HPO(OEt)2 for the difunctionalization of alkenes to synthesize β-keto methyl sulfones; meanwhile, we have also demonstrated that alkynes could be directly undergo methyl sulfonylation to afford (E)-vinyl methyl sulfones through modification of the reaction condition.…”

Controlling Cherenkov angles with resonance transition radiation by Lin, Xiao, Easo, Sajan, Shen, Yichen, Chen, Hongsheng, Zhang, Baile, Joannopoulos, John D., Soljačić, Marin, Kaminer, Ido

“…However, since the Cherenkov angle depends only on the material’s permittivity, the material unavoidably sets a fundamental limit to the momentum coverage and sensitivity of Cherenkov detectors. For example, ring-imaging Cherenkov detectors must employ materials transparent to the frequency of interest as well as possessing permittivities close to unity to identify particles in the multi-gigaelectronvolt range, and thus are often limited to large gas chambers. …”
