Biofilm reactors are particularly suitable for the treatment of large amounts of diluted effluent, such as groundwater contaminated with scarcely soluble pollutants. A packed-bed column reactor was tested for the degradation of acenaphthene, phenanthrene and pyrene provided at their aqueous solubility concentrations. Acenapthene and phenanthrene were removed to more than 99% efficiency from this r

Measurements of the crystal size distribution performed over Southern Germany show that the effective diameter decrease 10-30% in cirrus clouds perturbed by aircraft. The reduction is more pronounced at higher cloud water content and is not observed at temperatures warmer than -30°C.

The ratio of the cross sections for inclusive isolated-photon production in pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 13 and 8 TeV is measured using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The integrated luminosities of the 13 TeV and 8 TeV datasets are 3.2 fb −1 and 20.2 fb −1 , respectively. The ratio is measured as a function of the photon transverse energy in different regions of the photon pseudorap

I denna artikel presenterar vi arbete från EU projektet STARR och NordForsk projektet ActivAbles. Vi beskriver vår iterativa designprocess för ett aktivitetsspel för personer som har haft en stroke, och diskuterar designval och erfarenheter.In this paper we present work carried out in the EU project STARR and the NordForsk project ActivAbles. We report on the design and iterative development of an outdoor activity game for stroke survivors, and discuss design choices, experiences from the iterative testing and outline potential future developments.

In situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) investigations have been performed to provide insights into the reaction mechanism of a palladium(ii) catalyzed undirected C-H acetoxylation reaction in the presence of an oxidant. A Pd(ii) N-heterocyclic carbene complex π-stacked onto reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was used as the catalyst. The Pd speciation during the catalytic process was examined by XA

A systematic study of the photophysical and electrochemical properties of triscyclometalated homoleptic iridium(III) complexes based on 2-(1-naphthyl)pyridine (npy) ligands is presented. A systematic investigation of ligand substitution patterns showed an influence on the lifetime of the excited state, with slight changes in the absorption and emission spectral features. Specifically, the emissio

A series of complexes with oxathiacrown ethers appended to a [Ru(bpy)2]2+ moiety have been synthesized and characterised using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, electronic absorption and emission spectroscopies, mass spectrometry and elemental analyses. The complexes exhibit strong MLCT luminescence bands in the range 608-611 nm and one reversible metal centred oxidation potential in the range 1.00-1.02 V. The

Metalation of two cyclohexane-based phosphinite pincer ligands, cis-POCyPO (4) and trans-POCyPO (5) (POCyPO = {1,3-bis-[(di-tert-butylphosphinito]cyclohexane}−), is reported. In line with previously published results (Dalton Trans. 2009, 8626, DOI: 10.1039/B910798C), ligand 4 undergoes aromatization to give benzene-based complex (POCOP)IrHCl (3) at high temperatures in the presence of [Ir(COD)Cl]2

The ligand Ph2PC6H4(CH2N(Me)CO(Et)) reacts with (bis(diphenylphosphino)butane) (2,5-norbornadiene)rhodium tetrafluoroborate (2a) and (bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane)(2,5-norbornadiene) rhodium tetrafluoroborate (2b) at room temperature in the presence of hydrogen to displace the norbornadiene and give the chelate complexes 3a,b, in which the phosphorus and the oxygen atoms are coordinated to give an

Treatment of 2 equiv. of a mixture of the diphosphite cis, trans-1,3-(iPr2PO)2C6H 10 with [Pd(CO2CF3)2] and sequential addition of an excess of NaI gives the binuclear 16-atom ring chelate complex trans-[Pd2I4{cis-(iPr2PO) 2C6H10}2] (1) and the mononuclear complex cis-[PdI2{cis-(iPr2PO)2C 6H10}] (2) exclusively. NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography have unambiguously determined the structure

The reaction between trans-PtPhCl(SMe2)2 and (R,R)-CHIRAPHOS gives cis-[PtPhCl((R,R)-CHIRAPHOS)] (1). The crystals of which are monoclinic, space group P21 with a = 12.875(3), b = 18.012(4), c = 13.864(3) Å, β = 109.71(3)° and Z = 4. In CDCl3 1 reacts with Ph2P(C6H4)CH2N(Me)(COEt) to give cis[PtCl2((R,R)-CHIRAPHOS)] (2), the crystals of which are monoclinic, space group P21 with a = 7.8052(16), b

Within cognitive science, narratives are regarded as crucial and fundamental cognitive instruments or tools. As Roger Schank suggests, the identity of (sub-)cultures is to a considerable extent based upon the sharing of narrative structures (Schank. 1995. Tell me a story: Narrative and intelligence. Evanston, IL: Northwestern University Press.). According to Schank, culturally shared stories, as d
