The research in this paper seeks to advance the effective management of one most intractable aspects disaster response phenomena: material convergence—the sudden and mostly uncoordinated arrival physical donations aftermath large disasters catastrophic events—referred by respondents as a “second-tier disaster.” To do so, analyzes strategic interactions among, incentives presented to, various ag...

Gold nanoparticles were synthesized using agarose as a reducing agent, which gelled to support the gold nanoparticles, then readily functioned as a template to produce a porous, evenly-distributed Au/TiO(2) nano-hybrid.

In the absence of oxidizing or reducing agents the chromatographic and coprecipitation behavior of element 102 is similar to that of the alkaline earth elements. After oxidation with ceric ions, the behavior is that expected of a trivalent actinide. Nobelium is the first actinide for which the +2 oxidation state is the most stable species in aqueous solution.
