D I S C U S S I O N of the economic situation of Northern Ireland has been dominated by persistently high rates of unemployment. Since 1936 these rates have been higher than in any other region o f the United Kingdom. Since the war unemployment rates have not fallen below 5 per cent, local area rates have been as high as 20 per cent and long-term unemployment has accounted for over 50 per cent ...

iron oxide (fe2o3) is widely used as a catalyst, pigment and gas sensitive material.  in this article, α-fe2o3 nano-rods were first synthesized via a simple chemical method using iron(iii) nitrate 9- hydrate (fe(no3)3.9h2o) as precursor. xrd pattern showed that the iron oxide nanoparticles exhibited alpha-fe2o3 (hematite) structure in nanocrystals. the single-phase α- fe2o3 nano-rods were prepa...

to explore the function of light-harvesting complex protein (lhcp) in arabidopsis growth and development, the leclere and bartel seed collection was screened. in this collection randomly cloned cdnas are expressed under the camv35s promoter. a pale green line has been identified and characterized in more details. analysis of the inserted cdna in the pale green line showed it encodes lhcb1 prote...

over time there has been a shift, at least in the rhetoric, from a pipeline conceptualisation of knowledge implementation, to one that recognises the potential of more collaboration, co-productive approaches to knowledge production and use. in this editorial, which is grounded in our research and collective experience, we highlight both the potential and challenge with collaboration and co-prod...

background: in large cities, the share of vehicles in air pollutants emissions is nearly 70% that is mainly due to use of fossil fuels. environmental simulation has many advantages such as accuracy and speed of modeling. present study was conducted to create a model of air pollution [carbon monoxide (co) and nitrogen oxides (nox)] from vehicles in fifty following years, in mashhad. methods: acc...

extraction of nickel and its co-extraction with copper from ammoniacal media into emulsion liquid membrane systems (elms) was investigated using lix 84i as the carrier. measurement of the solute stripped in the internal phase of emulsion opened a new dimension in the study of the elm extraction processes. the effect of operating parameters such as feed ph, initial feed concentration, and treat ...

first-principle calculations were carried out to investigate the adsorption of co over cun nanoclusters. the structural, spectroscopic and electronic properties like optimized geometries, homo (highest occupied molecular orbital) and lumo (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) energy levels, binding energy, adsorption energy, vibrational frequency and density of states (doss) of the pure cun nan...
