Bryce Wood (1909–1986)

Bryce Sunsdahl

Metallocene and ansa-metallocene complexes of group 3 metals and the Lanthanides have shown to be effective catalysts for a number of chemical reactions. These include alkene polymerization, hydrosilation, hydroboration, hydrogenation and hydroamination. The coordinatively unsaturated, monomeric permethylyttrocene complexes in particular have proven to be highly effective for carrying out these...

Reflection , reflex , and folk intuitions Bryce Huebner

Perhaps some day, we will find experimental data that deflates the philosophical presumption in favor of the ‘hard problem’ of consciousness. Unfortunately, that day is not today. Brian Talbot is right that data derived from commonsense psychology are unlikely to close the explanatory gap. More specifically, he is right that we must carefully investigate the source of commonsense judgments befo...

Message Quality for Ambient System Security Ciarán Bryce

In ambient systems, a principal may be a physical object whose identity does not convey useful information for taking security decisions. Thus, establishing a trusted channel with a device depends more on the device being able to demonstrate what it does, rather than who it is. This paper proposes a security model that allows a principal to establish the intent of an adversary and to make the a...

Acetylation of wood – A review

Wood is a porous three dimensional, hydroscopic, viscoelastic, anisotropic bio-polymer composite composed of an interconnecting matrix of cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin with minor amounts of inorganic elements and organic extractives. Some, but not all, of the cell wall polymer hydroxyl groups are accessible to moisture and these accessible hydroxyls form hydrogen bonds with water. As the...
