A new catalytic asymmetric oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides in water using the hypervalent iodine(V) reagent iodoxybenzene (PhIO2) has been developed. This methodology is distinctly different from the previously reported use of cyclodextrins or biological catalysts and provides a new route to asymmetric sulfoxidation in water.

We study asymmetric second-price auctions under incomplete information. The bidders have two potentially different, commonly known, valuations for the object and private information about their entry costs. seller, however, does not benefit from these calculate equilibrium strategies of analyze optimal design seller in this environment terms expected number potential bidders.

Since Akerlof’s (1970) seminal paper the existence of adverse selection due to asymmetric information about quality is well-understood. Given the negative implications for trading and welfare, the question arises of how such markets come into existence. We consider a market in which firms make observable investment/entry decisions that generate products of a quality that becomes known only to t...

For better discussing and understanding the physical phenomena and body-fluid interaction of water-entry problem, here mechanical-energy transport wedge, fluid, and each other of water-entry model for free falling wedge is studied by numerical method based on free surface capturing method and Cartesian cut cell mesh. In this method, incompressible Euler equations for a variable density fluid ar...
