Klapötke and co-workers recently designed two new materials, 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine-1,3,5-trioxide (MTO) and 2,4,6-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine-1,3,5-trioxide (MTO3N), envisioned as candidates for green highenergy materials. However, all attempts at synthesis have failed. In order to validate the expected properties for these systems and to determine why these materials are too unstable to sy...

OBJECTIVE Leverage an experimental study to determine whether gender or recent crime victimization modify the mental health effects of moving to low-poverty neighborhoods. METHODS The Moving to Opportunity (MTO) study randomized low-income families in public housing to an intervention arm receiving vouchers to subsidize rental housing in lower-poverty neighborhoods or to controls receiving no...

This study re-analyzed data on adolescent health outcomes (N = 1780; M age = 15.15, SD = 2.30) from a 5-year evaluation of the Moving to Opportunity (MTO) Program. The MTO program is a randomized experiment conducted in five cities in the United States (Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York) in which low-income families living in public housing in 'high-poverty' neighborhoods wer...

A convenient and efficient application of heterogeneous methylrhenium trioxide (MTO) systems for the selective oxidation of lignin model compounds and lignins is reported. Environmental friendly and low-cost H2O2 was used as the oxygen atom donor. Overall, the data presented and discussed in this paper point toward the conclusion that the immobilized heterogeneous catalytic systems based on H2O...

The only licensed vaccine Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) cannot prevent the prevalence of tuberculosis (TB), which remains a major public health problem worldwide. A more effective TB vaccine than BCG is urgently needed. Subunit vaccine is a promising strategy, and suitable adjuvants will benefit the development of effective TB subunit vaccines. MTO, consisting of monophosph...

he U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Moving to Opportunity for Fair Housing Demonstration, or MTO, is a large, federally funded social experiment designed to test whether improved neighborhood opportunities may significantly affect the life chances of lowincome public housing residents. This paper provides the first systematic overview of the design of the MTO and describ...

The lean manufacturing system has helped many companies to improve operational performance, mainly in the automotive and electronic supply chains. Although lean manufacturing revealed to be effective for repetitive systems, some small and medium suppliers, faced with high mix and low volume production, have had difficulty to implement the lean manufacturing. The main objective of this paper is ...

Although non-experimental studies find robust neighborhood effects on adults, such findings have been challenged by results from the Moving to Opportunity (MTO) residential mobility experiment. Using a within-study comparison design, this paper compares experimental and estimates MTO parallel analysis of Panel Study Income Dynamics (PSID). Striking similarities were found between based PSID. No...

A convenient and efficient application of microencapsulated/methylrhenium trioxide (MTO) and MTO/pyridine systems for the selective oxidation of cardanol derivatives is reported. Environmentally friendly and low-cost H2O2 was used as the oxygen atom donor. The catalysts were stable systems for at least five recycling experiments. In the oxidation of C2 alkyl-substituted cardanol derivatives, hi...
