the adsorption of 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (2-mbi) on au(111) has been studied withcyclic voltammetry (cv), in-situ subtractively normalised interfacial ft-ir spectroscopy (sniftirs)and scanning tunnelling microscopy (stm). although adsorbed 2-mbi reduces the interfacial capacityand quenches the characteristic features of the cyclic voltammogram for sulfate adsorption,heterogeneous electron tran...

Activities of phosphoriboisomerase, phosphoribulokinase, and ribulose 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase, protein content, and chlorophyll accumulation in dark-grown barley seedlings were measured before and after illumination. Enzymatic activities, levels of soluble protein, and accumulation (upon illumination) of chlorophyll in leaves declined from tips toward the base. In response to increasing tim...

This paper is an attempt to understand the content of, and motivation for, a popular form of physicalism, which I call ‘non-reductive physicalism’. Non-reductive physicalism claims although the mind is physical (in some sense), mental properties are nonetheless not identical to (or reducible to) physical properties. This suggests that mental properties are, in earlier terminology, ‘emergent pro...

Reductive coupling to form H-H, C-H, and C-C bonds from transition-metal complexes is of fundamental importance in many catalytic processes. However, despite numerous experimental' and theoretical2 studies, there remain a number of puzzles concerning these processes. For example, reductive elimination of methane from Pt(H)(CH3)(PPh3), is quite facile at -25 'C,ld while Pt(CH3)2(PPh,)2 is qkite ...

In situ methods are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of chemical amendments at enhancing reductive dechlorination rates in groundwater that is contaminated with the priority pollutant, trichloroethene (TCE). In this communication, a method that utilizes single-well, "push-pull" tests to quantify the effects of chemical amendments on in situ reductive dechlorination rates is presented and de...

Kinetic studies conducted under both catalytic and stoichiometric conditions were employed to investigate the reductive elimination of RuPhos (2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2',6'-diisopropoxybiphenyl) based palladium amido complexes. These complexes were found to be the resting state in Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions for a range of aryl halides and diarylamines. Hammett plots demonstrated that...

The assimilation of CO(2) by etiolated Hordeum vulgare seedlings during an illumination period indicates a conversion of the organisms to autotrophy.After 1 hour illumination, increases in the photo-assimilation of CO(2) are observed and the distribution of C(14) in the soluble fraction of the plants is predominantly in intermediates of the Calvin cycle.

Let K be a locally compact p-adic field, g a split reductive Lie algebra over K and U(g) its universal enveloping algebra. We investigate the category Cg of coadmissible modules over the p-adic Arens-Michael envelope Û(g) of U(g). Let p ⊆ g be a parabolic subalgebra. The main result gives a canonical equivalence between the classical parabolic BGG category of g relative to p and a certain expli...
