Emergence, Formation and Dynamics of Hot QCD Matter by Scheihing Hitschfeld, Bruno Sebastian

“…Understanding the dynamics of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) in quantitative detail is one of the main frontiers in particle physics. While the last century gave us the formulation of the theory of nuclear interactions, QCD, as well as that of the rest of visible matter encoded in the Standard Model of Particle Physics, much remains to be understood. …”

Desymmetrisation of 1,3-diols and their diacetates under enzymatic heterogeneous catalysis and synthesis of 1,3-diols under continuous flow conditions by Pamarthy, Varsha Siri

“…One of the key steps in the synthesis of one such piperidone, N-benzyl-5- methoxypiperidone, is the desymmetrisation of 1,3-diol, N-Benzyl-5-hydroxy-4- (hydroxymethyl)pentanamide or 1,3-diacetate, N-Benzyl-5-acetoxy-4- (acetoxymethyl)pentanamide, which provide access to the (R)- and (S)- enantiomers of the piperidone, respectively. The main aim of this thesis is to develop a flow process to perform synthesis and desymmetrisation of the 1,3- diol. …”
