Mathematical models of liquid crystals and related materials by Taylor, J

“…In order to overcome this issue, we apply similar heuristics to the previous chapter to split the minimisation into two steps, a strictly convex minimisation problem with linear constraints and a finite dimensional, <em>C</em>¹ minimisation problem, the latter of which provides an Euler-Lagrange-type equation satisfied by all <em>L</em>^p -local minimisers. …”

Methodology development and synthesis of a biologically relevant natural product and targeted scaffold discovery for serine hydrolase inhibition by Kornahrens, A

“…The Donohoe group successfully designed a modular total synthesis accessing streptonigrin in 11 steps and 14% yield. The introduction of an asymmetric Suzuki– Miyaura reaction yielded a key intermediate in 42% ee and 65% yield, which represents the first example of purely synthetic access to enantioenriched late-stage streptonigrin analogues.…”

Habit Formation and Political Persuasion: A Behavioral and Statistical Approach by Tohidi Kalorazi, Amir
