Adv Theo Comp Phy 4(2): 113-120. Abstract This is continued from the article Superunification: Pure Mathematics and Theoretical Physics published in this journal and intended to discuss the general logical and philosophical consequences of the universal mathematical machine described by the superunified field theory. At first was mathematical continuum, that is, uncountably infinite set of real numbers. The continuum is self-exited and self- organized into the universal system of mathematical harmony observed by the intelligent beings in the Cosmos as the physical Universe. Consequently, cosmology as a science of evolution in the Uni- verse can be thought as a preprogrammed natural phenomenon beginning with the Big Bang event, or else, the Creation act pro- (6) cess. The reader is supposed to be acquinted with the Pythagoras’ (Arithmetization) and Plato’s (Geometrization) concepts. Then, With this we can derive even the human gene-chromosome topol- the numeric, Pythagorean, form of 4-dim space-time shall be ogy.

Johnson, Matthey and the Chemical Society
•Platinum Metals Rev., 2013, 57, (2), 110–116• Johnson, Matthey and the Chemical Society Two hundred years of precious metals expertise http://dx.doi.org/10.1595/147106713X664635 http://www.platinummetalsreview.com/ By William P. Griffi th The founders of Johnson Matthey – Percival Johnson and George Matthey – played important roles in the foundation Department of Chemistry, Imperial College, London SW7 and running of the Chemical Society, which was founded in 2AZ, UK 1841. This tradition continues today with the Royal Society Email: w.griffi [email protected] of Chemistry and Johnson Matthey Plc. The nineteenth century brought a ferment of discovery and research to all branches of chemistry; for example some twenty-six elements were discovered between 1800 and 1850, ten of them by British chemists, including rhodium, palladium, osmium and iridium. In 1841 the Chemical Society – the oldest national chemical society in the world still in existence – was established. Both Percival Johnson (Figure 1(a)) and George Matthey (Figure 1(b)) were prominent members, Johnson being one of its founders. The Origins of the Chemical Society Although there had been an earlier London Chemical Society in 1824 it lasted for only a year (1). The Chemical Society of London (‘of London’ was dropped in 1848) was founded at a meeting held on 30th March 1841 at the Society of Arts in John Street (now John Adam Street), London, UK; Robert Warington (1807–1867), an analytical chemist later to become resident Director of the Society of Apothecaries (2), was instrumental in setting it up and his son, also Robert Warington, later wrote an account of its history for its 1891 Jubilee (3). -
An Introduction
This chapter is from Social Media Mining: An Introduction. By Reza Zafarani, Mohammad Ali Abbasi, and Huan Liu. Cambridge University Press, 2014. Draft version: April 20, 2014. Complete Draft and Slides Available at: http://dmml.asu.edu/smm Chapter 10 Behavior Analytics What motivates individuals to join an online group? When individuals abandon social media sites, where do they migrate to? Can we predict box office revenues for movies from tweets posted by individuals? These questions are a few of many whose answers require us to analyze or predict behaviors on social media. Individuals exhibit different behaviors in social media: as individuals or as part of a broader collective behavior. When discussing individual be- havior, our focus is on one individual. Collective behavior emerges when a population of individuals behave in a similar way with or without coordi- nation or planning. In this chapter we provide examples of individual and collective be- haviors and elaborate techniques used to analyze, model, and predict these behaviors. 10.1 Individual Behavior We read online news; comment on posts, blogs, and videos; write reviews for products; post; like; share; tweet; rate; recommend; listen to music; and watch videos, among many other daily behaviors that we exhibit on social media. What are the types of individual behavior that leave a trace on social media? We can generally categorize individual online behavior into three cate- gories (shown in Figure 10.1): 319 Figure 10.1: Individual Behavior. 1. User-User Behavior. This is the behavior individuals exhibit with re- spect to other individuals. For instance, when befriending someone, sending a message to another individual, playing games, following, inviting, blocking, subscribing, or chatting, we are demonstrating a user-user behavior. -

Organocatalytic Asymmetric N-Sulfonyl Amide C-N Bond Activation to Access Axially Chiral Biaryl Amino Acids
ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-14799-8 OPEN Organocatalytic asymmetric N-sulfonyl amide C-N bond activation to access axially chiral biaryl amino acids Guanjie Wang1, Qianqian Shi2, Wanyao Hu1, Tao Chen1, Yingying Guo1, Zhouli Hu1, Minghua Gong1, ✉ ✉ ✉ Jingcheng Guo1, Donghui Wei 2 , Zhenqian Fu 1,3 & Wei Huang1,3 1234567890():,; Amides are among the most fundamental functional groups and essential structural units, widely used in chemistry, biochemistry and material science. Amide synthesis and trans- formations is a topic of continuous interest in organic chemistry. However, direct catalytic asymmetric activation of amide C-N bonds still remains a long-standing challenge due to high stability of amide linkages. Herein, we describe an organocatalytic asymmetric amide C-N bonds cleavage of N-sulfonyl biaryl lactams under mild conditions, developing a general and practical method for atroposelective construction of axially chiral biaryl amino acids. A structurally diverse set of axially chiral biaryl amino acids are obtained in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities. Moreover, a variety of axially chiral unsymmetrical biaryl organocatalysts are efficiently constructed from the resulting axially chiral biaryl amino acids by our present strategy, and show competitive outcomes in asymmetric reactions. 1 Key Laboratory of Flexible Electronics & Institute of Advanced Materials, Jiangsu National Synergetic Innovation Center for Advanced Materials, Nanjing Tech University, 30 South Puzhu Road, Nanjing 211816, China. 2 College -

Development of Electrochemical Methods for Detection of Pesticides and Biofuel
Development of Electrochemical Methods for Detection of Pesticides and Biofuel Production Asli Sahin Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Asli Sahin All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Development of Electrochemical Methods for Detection of Pesticides and Biofuel Production Asli Sahin Electrochemical methods coupled with biological elements are used in industrial, medical and environmental applications. In this thesis we will discuss two such applications: an electrochemical biosensor for detection of pesticides and biofuel generation using electrochemical methods coupled with microorganisms. Electrochemical biosensors are commonly used as a result of their selectivity, sensitivity, rapid response and portability. A common application for electrochemical biosensors is detection of pesticides and toxins in water samples. In this thesis, we will focus on detection of organosphosphates (OPs), a group of compounds that are commonly used as pesticides and nerve agents. Rapid and sensitive detection of these compounds has been an area of active research due to their high toxicity. Amperometric and potentiometric electrochemical biosensors that use organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH), an enzyme that can hydrolyze a broad class of OPs, have been reported for field detection of OPs. Amperometry is used for detection of electroactive leaving groups and potentiometry is used for detection of pH changes that take place during the hydrolysis reaction. Both these methods have limitations: using amperometric biosensors, very low limits of detection are achieved but this method is limited to the few OPs with electroactive leaving groups, on the other hand potentiometric biosensor can be used for detection of all OPs but they don’t have low enough limits of detection. -
Reliable Determination of Amidicity in Acyclic Amides and Lactams Stephen A
Article pubs.acs.org/joc Reliable Determination of Amidicity in Acyclic Amides and Lactams Stephen A. Glover* and Adam A. Rosser Department of Chemistry, School of Science and Technology, University of New England, Armidale, NSW 2351, Australia *S Supporting Information ABSTRACT: Two independent computational methods have been used for determination of amide resonance stabilization and amidicities relative to N,N-dimethylacetamide for a wide range of acyclic and cyclic amides. The first method utilizes carbonyl substitution nitrogen atom replacement (COSNAR). The second, new approach involves determination of the difference in amide resonance between N,N-dimethylacetamide and the target amide using an isodesmic trans-amidation process and is calibrated relative to 1-aza-2-adamantanone with zero amidicity and N,N-dimethylace- tamide with 100% amidicity. Results indicate excellent coherence between the methods, which must be regarded as more reliable than a recently reported approach to amidicities based upon enthalpies of hydrogenation. Data for acyclic planar and twisted amides are predictable on the basis of the degrees of pyramidalization at nitrogen and twisting about the C−N bonds. Monocyclic lactams are predicted to have amidicities at least as high as N,N-dimethylacetamide, and the β-lactam system is planar with greater amide resonance than that of N,N- dimethylacetamide. Bicyclic penam/em and cepham/em scaffolds lose some amidicity in line with the degree of strain-induced pyramidalization at the bridgehead nitrogen and twist about the amide bond, but the most puckered penem system still retains substantial amidicity equivalent to 73% that of N,N-dimethylacetamide. ■ INTRODUCTION completed by a third resonance form, III, with no C−N pi Amide linkages are ubiquitous in proteins, peptides, and natural character and on account of positive polarity at carbon and the or synthetic molecules and in most of these they possess, electronegativity of nitrogen, must be destabilizing. -
