Robust Adaptation and Homeostasis by Autocatalysis [PDF]
Robust homeostatic mechanisms are essential for the protection and adaptation of organisms in a changing and challenging environment. Integral feedback is a control-engineering concept that leads to robust, i.e., perturbation-independent, adaptation and homeostatic behavior in the controlled variable. Addressing two-component negative feedback loops of

Anion–π catalysis on carbon allotropes
Anion–π catalysis, introduced in 2013, stands for the stabilization of anionic transition states on π-acidic aromatic surfaces. Anion–π catalysis on carbon allotropes is particularly attractive because high polarizability promises access to really strong

This study examined the effect of ingredients mixing sequence to the vulcanization kinetics of natural rubber. The effects of mixing temperature, vulcanization temperature, and the carbon black type upon the kinetics were also studied by using rheography

How did chemicals first become organized into systems capable of self-propagation and adaptive evolution? One possibility is that the first evolvers were chemical ecosystems localized on mineral surfaces and composed of sets of molecular species that ...

Stereodynamics of Hemiacetal Formation in Pyridine-3-Carbaldehyde and Pyrimidine-5-Carbaldehyde Derivatives: Implications for the Soai Reaction. [PDF]
Kinetic studies of the hemiacetal formation of pyridine‐3‐carbaldehyde and pyrimidine‐5‐carbaldehyde derivatives with alcohols by 1H NMR and dynamic HPLC show a high correlation between hemiacetal formation and autocatalytic reactivity in Soai's asymmetric autocatalysis with Gibbs activation energies between 85.9 and 95.5 kJ/mol.

Autocatalysis in a Reconstituted Chloroplast System [PDF]
In whole plants and intact chloroplasts, photosynthesis does not reach its full rate immediately upon illumination but only after a lag which is believed to reflect an autocatalytic increase in the concentration of carbon cycle intermediates. Autocatalysis has now been observed in a reconstituted system containing envelope-free chloroplasts augmented ...

Autocatalysis in Lithium Diisopropylamide-Mediated Ortholithiations
Ortholithiation of 3-fluorophenyl-N,N-diisopropyl carbamate by lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) in THF at −78 °C affords unusual rate behavior including linear decays of the carbamate, delayed formation of LDA−aryllithium mixed dimers, and evidence of ...

The occurrence of prime numbers revisited
Based on an arithmetical and autocatalytic approach, the authors propose a solution for the occurrence of prime numbers. Exact arithmetical calculations are provided for: the closest prime to any given positive integer (or any number of bigger or smaller
