In today’s highly challenging business environment, an innovative and systemic approach is imperative to survival and growth. Organisational integration and technological integration, are often seen as a catalyst of change that could lead to significant improvements in organisations. The levels of improvement in inter and intra firm integration should arise from a detailed understanding and dev...

High molar weight polyphosphinoboranes represent materials with auspicious properties, but their preparation requires transition metal-based catalysts. Here, calix[4]pyrrolato aluminate is shown to induce the dehydropolymerization of phosphine boranes high mass (up Mn=43 000 Da). Combined GPC and 31P DOSY NMR spectroscopic analyses, quantum chemical computations, stoichiometric reactions disclo...

Homotypic yeast vacuole fusion occurs in three stages: (i) priming reactions, which are independent of vacuole clustering, (ii) docking, in which vacuoles cluster and accumulate fusion proteins and fusion regulatory lipids at a ring-shaped microdomain surrounding the apposed membranes of each docked vacuole, where fusion will occur, and (iii) bilayer fusion/compartment mixing. These stages requ...

The dinuclear rhodium(1) R ~ ~ ( P S R ) ~ ( C O ) ~ L ~ complexes have been designed for the low pressure hydroformylation of vario s alkenes. The reaction is fully selective in aldehydes and turnover frequencies as high as 1 s ~ can be reached. A catalytic cycle in which all the intermediates remain dinuclear is consistent with the observed data and involves a cooperative effect between the t...

Proton pumping P systems are a variant of membrane systems with both rewriting rules and symport/antiport rules, where a set of objects called protons is distinguished, every cooperative symport or antiport rule involves a proton, but no rewriting rule does. Time-freeness property means the result of all computations does not depend on the time it takes to execute the rules. The goal of this ar...

With unique physical and chemical properties and porous architectures, mesoporous transition metal hydroxide (MMHO) and oxide (MMO) nanospheres hold great potential for various applications in drug delivery, catalysis, energy storage and conversion. However, synthesizing MMHO and MMO with well-defined mesostructures remains a great challenge because of the weak interaction between surfactants a...

Abstract A Pd-Co bimetallic alloy encapsulated in melamine-based dendrimer supported on magnetic nanoparticles denoted as ?-Fe 2 O 3 @MBD/Pd-Co was synthesized by a facile co-complexation-reduction method and characterized sufficiently. The catalytic evaluation of showed promising results the Mizoroki–Heck Buchwald–Hartwig amination reactions various iodo-, bromo- challenging chloroarenes aqueo...

This study sought to investigate the effect of cooperative learning on EFL learners’ creativity and motiva- tion. Accordingly, 66 pre-intermediate female learners were selected among 90 through their performance on a piloted sample Preliminary English Test. Learners were assigned into two control and experimental group. The Abedi-Schumaker Creativity Test (ACT) and the Attitude/Motivation Test ...

Cooperative hydrogen atom transfer and chiral hydrogen-bonding catalysis as a new platform for the asymmetric synthesis of azaarene derivatives is reported. By using tetrabutylammonium decatungstate photocatalyst phosphoric acid catalyst, transformations variety commercially available hydrocarbons silanes with diverse ?-branched 2-vinylazaarenes could efficiently experience tandem radical conju...
