Lipase from papaya (Carica papaya) latex (CPL), Candida antarctica lipase B (Novozym 435, NOV) and Rhizomucor miehei lipase (Lipozyme IM 20, LIP) were used as biocatalysts for the esterification of caprylic acid with straight-chain saturated C(4)-C(18) alcohols and unsaturated C(18) alcohols, such as cis-9-octadecenyl (oleyl, C(18:1), n-9), cis-6-octadecenyl (petroselinyl, C(18:1), n-12), cis-9...

The circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) and electronic circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopic parameters corresponding to the n←π* and n→π* transitions, respectively, have been calculated for selected β,γ-enones using density functional theory. For the smallest β,γ-enone, (1R,4R)-bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-en-2-one (norbornenone), coupled-cluster calculations have also been carried out. The excite...

Query languages and their optimizations have been a very important issue in the database community. Languages for updating databases, however, have not been studied to the same extent, although they are clearly important since databases must change over time. While update languages for the relational model are quite simple and provide little opportunity for optimizations, update languages for c...

Chalmers Publication Library (CPL) offers the possibility of retrieving research publications produced at Chalmers University of Technology. It covers all types of publications: articles, dissertations, licentiate theses, masters theses, conference papers, reports etc. Since 2006 it is the official tool for Chalmers official publication statistics. To ensure that Chalmers research results are d...

We propose a concurrent process calculus, called Calcul Parall ele Logique (CPL), based on the paradigm of computation as proof net construction in linear logic. CPL uses a fragment of rst order intuitionistic linear logic where formulas represent processes and proof nets successful computations. In these computations, communication is expressed in an asynchronous way by means of axiom links. W...

Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas, and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as refer...

One of the most attractive hypothesis for the origin of homochirality in terrestrial bioorganic compounds is that a kind of "chiral impulse" as an asymmetric excitation source induced asymmetric reactions on the surfaces of such materials such as meteorites or interstellar dusts prior to the existence of terrestrial life (Cosmic Scenario). To experimentally introduce chiral structure into racem...

A capillary pumped loop (CPL) is a closed two-phase loop in which capillary forces developed in a wicked evaporator passively pump the working fluid over long distances to dissipate heat from electronic and power sources. Because it has no moving parts and requires minimal power to sustain operation, the CPL is considered an enabling technology for thermal management of spacecraft. While the st...
