This study describes the combined experimental and computational elucidation of the mechanism and
origins of stereoselectivities in the NHC-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of α-substituted-β-ketoesters. Density functional theory...

This paper analyzes the fiscal and land value impacts of public open-space conservation in a budget-constrained
city. It derives the necessary and sufficient conditions for open-space conservation to increase the level of municipal
services and...

Nitula baltica sp. nov. and Cyathus dominicanus sp. nov. are described from
Cenozoic Baltic and Dominican amber. These are the first fossil members of the Family
Nidulariaceae and show that the basic characteristics of this group were already...

A growing body of research suggests that behavioral self-regulation skills are critical for early
school success. However, few studies have explored the links between self-regulation and
academic achievement among young children in Europe. This...

In the 1990s, Bartlett and Youd introduced empirical equations for predicting
horizontal displacement from liquefaction-induced lateral spreading; these equations have
become popular in engineering practice. The equations were developed by...

The performance of certain high-gain amplifiers, such
as those used in null detectors, can be greatly improved
by using a nonlinear element in a feedback loop. With the
addition of nonlinear feedback, it is possible to obtain
an amplifier that can...
