Primates are highly social animals and should ideally be housed together with conspecifics in social groups. Although group-housing enhances the psychological wellbeing of captive primates, it also leads to an inherent ...

Two novel tripodal ligands L1 and L2 based on a tris(methylpyridyl)amine (TPA) motif have been prepared and reacted with two different iron(ii) salts. The ligand L1 contains a bis(amino-phenyl)-TPA group whereas the ...

The coordination chemistry of the diphosphine-ketone ligand 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)benzophenone (^Phdpbp) with nickel is reported. The ketone moiety does not bind to Ni(II) in the complex (^Phdpbp ...

In view of the depletion of petroleum oils, new synthetic routes for the sustainable production of chemicals, fuels, and energy from renewable biomass sources are currently widely investigated. In particular, nonedible ...

A Rh(NHC) phosphonate complex reacts with the lipases cutinase and Candida antarctica lipase B resulting in the first (soluble) artificial metalloenzymes formed by covalent active site-directed hybridization. When compared ...

According to Jago (2014a), logical omniscience is really part of a deeper paradox. He develops an epistemic logic with principles of indeterminate closure to solve this paradox, but his official semantics is difficult to ...

The Front Cover shows an attenuated Total Reflection Infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR) probe monitoring a chemical reaction in the liquid phase, particularly water, at demanding conditions. The light penetrates few microns ...

A new Ir catalysed approach for the selective cleavage of the C α –C β bond in lignin β-O-4 units, allowing access to novel and tuneable monomeric product mixtures.

This paper develops a logical theory that unifies all three standard types of argumentative attack in AI, namely rebutting, undercutting and undermining attacks. We build on default justification logic that already represents ...
