Open AccessAssessing the energy trap of industrial agriculture in North America and Europe: 82 balances from 1830 to 2012
Early energy analyses of agriculture revealed that behind higher labor and land productivity of industrial farming, there was a decrease in energy returns on energy (EROI) invested, in comparison to more tradi...

A three-shell supramolecular complex enables the symmetry-mismatched chemo- and regioselective bis-functionalization of C60
Molecular Russian dolls (matryoshkas) have proven useful for testing the limits of preparative supramolecular chemistry but applications of these architectures to problems in other fields are elusive. Here we ...

Evidence for an oxygen evolving iron–oxo–cerium intermediate in iron-catalysed water oxidation
The non-haem iron complex α-[FeII(CF3SO3)2(mcp)] (mcp=(N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,2-cis-diaminocyclohexane) reacts with CeIV to oxidize water to O2, representing an iron-based functional model for ...

Sponge-like molecular cage for purification of fullerenes
Since fullerenes are available in macroscopic quantities from fullerene soot, large efforts have been geared toward designing efficient strategies to obtain highly pure fullerenes, which can be subsequently ap...

Study of the influence of geometrical and mechanical parameters on ballasted railway tracks design
This paper investigates the vertical deflection on ballasted railway tracks from a set of cases of railway track typologies which differ in six track parameters: embankment height, ballast thickness, sleeper s...

Alkane C–H Oxygenation Catalyzed by Transition Metal Complexes
Alkane oxidation reactions are of fundamental importance in bulk and fine chemistry, but the inert character of alkyl C–H bonds poses formidable challenges to the design of reagents that could enable their sel...

Levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha, gamma interferon, and interleukins 4, 6, and 10 as determined in mice infected with virulent or attenuated strains of Trypanosoma cruzi
Inoculation of BALB/c mice with the virulent Tulahuen (TUL) strain of T. cruzi was shown to lead to progressive and eventually lethal infections, whereas infection with an attenuated strain (TCC) resulted in a ...
