Sponges are a historically ambiguous taxon, often considered primitively simple representatives of early Metazoa, living fossils from the era before the complex morphological features of the bilaterian phyla appeared in the Cambrian. Yet recent...
Chapter one: Synthesis, resolution and application of P-chirogenic phosphines. This chapter serves as a general introduction, and gives a brief overview of the synthesis, resolution and applications of chiral organophosphorus compounds. In...
Two alloys, Fe 55 Mn 19 Al 26 and Fe 30 Ni 20 Mn 35 Al 15 , were studied in this research project. The yield stress anomaly (YSA) of Fe 55 Mn 19 Al 26 single crystal was observed with a yield stress peak at 700 K. In situ TEM straining revealed...
The furanosteroid class of compounds issues a siren call to both chemists and biologists alike -- the intriguing pentacyclic skeleton, densely packed and highly functionalized, continues to entice synthetic minds to develop new and elegant methods...
