Marine EM Studies over Scarborough Gas Field

Scripps Institution of Oceanography is a world leader in the development of marine electromagnetic methods, starting with the pioneering work of Charles Cox and Jean Filloux in the 1970’s (e.g. Cox, Filloux, and Larsen, 1971), continuing from the early 1980’s with the work of Steven Constable, and now with the recruitment of Kerry Key onto the permanent scientific staff. Initially marine EM met...

New discoveries at the interface of boron and carbon chemistries*

The continued growth of polyhedral borane chemistry is illustrated by the successful synthesis of [closo-B12(OH)12] 2– by the H2O2 oxidation of [closo-B12H12] 2–. The hydroxylated species reacts with common organic reagents to produce 12-fold degenerately substituted carboxylate esters, ethers, and carbamate esters. The ether derivatives undergo facile and reversible redox reactions in which th...

The Scarborough express train crash: four case reports.

Four cases are presented of patients who sustained blunt trauma to the epigastrium in a train crash. Two patients sustained a transected pancreas. The mechanism of injury is discussed.
