A matrix isolation and computational study of molecular palladium fluorides : does PdF₆ exist? [PDF]
Palladium atoms generated by thermal evaporation and laser ablation were reacted with and trapped in F₂ /Ar, F₂ /Ne, and neat F₂ matrices. The products were characterized by electronic absorption and infrared spectroscopy, together with relativistic ...

Crystal Engineering of Reticular Materials for Gas‐ and Liquid‐Phase Hydrocarbon Separation
Crystal engineering enables systematic study of structure/function relationships as exemplified by pore engineering of reticular sorbents, including porous coordination networks and covalent organic frameworks. This review assesses such studies applied across the full scope of industrially relevant hydrocarbon separations to provide insight into how ...

High order multiple births in the Maltese population [PDF]
Triplets are a relatively rare occurrence being encountered in the Maltese Islands with an overall incidence of about 0.1 per 1000 maternities. The incidence appears to be on the increase over the last twenty years rising from the 0.08 per 1000 ...

Dominant mobility modulation by the electric field effect at the LaAlO_3 / SrTiO_3 interface
Caviglia et al. [Nature (London) 456, 624 (2008)] have found that the superconducting LaAlO_3 / SrTiO_3 interface can be gate modulated. A central issue is to determine the principal effect of the applied electric field. Using magnetotransport studies of

BLOC: Buildable and Linkable Organ on a Chip
We developed a “Buildable and Linkable Organ on a Chip” (BLOC) that can construct diverse microphysiological systems (MPSs). The BLOC is standardized to the same size and has one of the functions of “Culture,” “Control,” or “Analysis.” Users can freely configure various MPSs, including developing perfusion, cytotoxicity analysis, and biochemical ...

Laser Micromachining of Liquid Metal Patterns for Stretchable Electronic Circuits
A cleanroom‐free fabrication strategy combines UV‐laser micromachining with a copper foil wetting layer to rapidly produce high resolution, liquid metal based stretchable electronic circuits on diverse substrates. The scalable, maskless process enables complex circuit designs (<$<$3 h, ∼$\sim$15/device) with excellent electrical stability under strain,

Exposing the ‘Olympic family’: a review of progress towards understanding risk factors for sexual victimisation in sport [PDF]
Sport organisations, including the Olympic movement, frequently invoke the concept of ‘family’ to describe their allegedly close and supportive social systems. However, the family metaphor backfires when sexual exploitation in sport is uncovered.

GIS as new tools and approach in state planning and monitoring: the experience of Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia [PDF]
Malaysian planning methodology has changed over the years as emphasis has shifted from producing plan, which described a state of affairs expected of some future date, to one which acknowledged the continuous and cyclical nature of planning.
