The Ayeyarwady River (Myanmar) : washload transport and its global role among rivers in the Anthropocene by Latrubesse, Edgardo M., Park, Edward, Kästner, Karl

“…We show that the Ayeyarwady has likely become the river with the second or third largest delivery of washload to the sea in the world since it has so far been much less affected by damming compared to the vast majority of other rivers.…”

Synthesis of planar conjugated macrocycle by secondary ketimine formation between m-phenylenediamine and synthesised aryl diketone by Huo, Jiongrui

“…While synthesis of the diketone was successful, synthesis of the target macrocycle was not, despite repeated attempts in a variety of solvent systems, azeotropic distillation to remove water, and in harsh reaction conditions. This was likely due to the stability of the C=O bond and steric hindrance against nucleophilic attack on the carbon atom of the carbonyl group of the diketone. …”

Sensing Informal Networks in Organizations by Orbach, Maya, Demko, Maegen, Doyle, Jeremy, Waber, Benjamin N., Pentland, Alex

“…A subset of workers who were encouraged to utilize flexible seating arrangements in a remodeled space had a higher proportion of face-to-face interactions with colleagues outside of their team, while employees seated far away from each other were less likely to exchange e-mail. This research has implications for companies hoping to understand the structure of informal networks within their organization as well as those considering workplace redesign as a method of stimulating communication within these networks.…”
