An extension of the concept of response reactions (RERs) is presented that allows the generation of thermochemical data from group additivity (GA) and ab initio methods using precisely the same stoichiometric and mathematical procedures. This goal is achieved by (i) reformulating the ordinary least squares (OLS) analy…

MgO-C-Al refractory is representative of the carbon-containing refractory. Al metal has been widely used as an antioxidant. However, since it has some defects, development of new antioxidant is desired due to adverse effects by reaction products. This paper describes a new family of antioxidants such as Al{sub 4}O{sub…

The prpB gene of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium LT2 encodes a protein with 2-methylisocitrate (2-MIC) lyase activity, which cleaves 2-MIC into pyruvate and succinate during the conversion of propionate to pyruvate via the 2-methylcitric acid cycle. This paper reports the isolation and kinetic characterization…

Abstract Computer simulations have been performed for electric field induced parallel‐perpendicular lamellar phase transition in the presence of electrodes. The simulations are based on the dynamic density functional theory. Here we provide the extension of earlier work in two dimensions (2D) to three dimensions (3D).…

Abstract The influence of tin and lead additives on the catalytic activity of platinum particles dispersed on a poly(3,4‐dioxyethylenethiophene) (PEDT) layer deposited on gold or steel towards anodic oxidation of methanol and ethanol was studied. It was found that these additives increase the rate of anodic oxidation…

Abstract A new Au11 cluster with (m-CF3C6H4)3P ligands has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray and XPS analysis. The cluster has an incomplete icosahedral skeleton similar to known Au11X3(PR3)7 clusters, but a stronger distortion from the ideal symmetry has been caused by introducing CF3 substit…
