New Purification Strategies and Monomer Platforms for Ruthenium-Initiated Living Ring-Opening Metathesis Polymerization by Kilgallon, Landon J.

“…Covalent capture purification—a type of catch-and-release purification—purifies molecules by selectively capturing them (via a covalent bond) onto a solid support, washing away impurities, and cleaving the product from the support for recovery. …”

Unexpected right-handed helical nanostructures co-assembled from l -phenylalanine derivatives and achiral bipyridines by Liu, Guofeng, Liu, Jinying, Feng, Chuanliang, Zhao, Yanli

“…Herein, we report that achiral bipyridines can co-assemble with L-phenylalanine derivatives into unexpected right-handed helical nanostructures rather than a left-handed helix via intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions formed between the pyridyl and carboxylic groups. …”

Structural behaviour of 2D post-tensioned precast beam-column sub-assemblages subjected to column loss scenario by Tran, Manh Ha, Tan, Kang Hai

“…The specimen with unbonded PT could provide greater residual capacity than bonded PT, but the former was severely damaged by fracture of normal reinforcement and crushing of concrete rather than fracture of the tendon. …”

Mr. Aecroid’s Tables: Economic Calculations and Social Customs in the Early Modern Countryside by Deringer, William

“…First, despite the prominence of similar calculations in financial applications today, these early tables were not confined to England’s nascent financial sector. Rather, their foremost use related to agricultural property, specifically in assessing certain payments (“fines”) landlords charged tenants for farm leases. …”

Shear behavior of greenschist along foliation plane considering anisotropy by Zhang, Qingzhao, Wu, Chuangzhou, Jang, Bo-An, Fei, Xunchang

“…The intact greenschist samples show significantly higher shear strength compared to the sheared samples due to the bonding strength along foliation plane. The shear behavior of greenschist along foliation plane is anisotropic due to the 3D roughness of foliation plane, and the anisotropic behavior diminishes as the normal stress increases. …”
