Waiting for a Release: The Expectation in Virtual Gaming Communities

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how virtual gaming communities influence and maintain player expectations before, during, and after a game's release. A mixed‐methods study was conducted, comprising a netnography followed by an experiment. First, a netnographic study was conducted over 12 months, tracking communities to understand player behavior and ...

Rh‐Catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] Cycloaddition of Linked Bis(Diynes) Ar‐C≡C‐C≡C‐(CH2)3‐C≡C‐C≡C‐Ar With Quinones: Synthesis and Photophysical Properties of Bis(Arylethynyl)‐Naphthoquinones and Anthraquinones

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
We report the synthesis bis(arylethynyl)naphtho‐ and anthraquinones via Rh(I)‐catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition reactions. The substrate scope of both quinones and linked bis‐diynes was explored. Microwave irradiation remarkably enhanced yields.

Precipitation of niobic acid from potassium niobate in sulphuric acid solution: A route to niobium oxide

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Graphical abstract illustrating the niobic acid precipitation process applied and the product obtained. Abstract This study investigates the precipitation of niobic acid (Nb2O5.nH2O) from potassium niobate solution with addition of sulphuric acid, and its subsequent thermal conversion into niobium oxide (Nb2O5). Thermodynamic modelling with PHREEQC and

Beyond hydrogen: Process design of a biogas steam reformer for Fischer–Tropsch synthesis

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
The effect of pressure and steam to carbon ratio on carbon conversion. Abstract We present an analysis of a pilot‐scale multi‐tubular biogas steam reforming reactor, part of a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) development project in Brazil. The novelty of this work is the application of a new, validated power law kinetic model, specifically developed for

Evaluation of the Therapeutic Potential of Bioactive Materials Based on a Complex of Oxidovanadium(IV) and Exopolysaccharide Levan in a Model of Insulin Resistance in Mice

ChemMedChem, EarlyView.
A low‐toxicity bioactive composition of oxidovanadium(IV) and exopolysaccharide levan is synthesized, characterized, and shown to reduce hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and TyG index in a mice model of dexamethasone‐induced insulin resistance. Bioactive compositions containing vanadium complexes have been a viable strategy for constructing more ...

Electrochemical Water Oxidation Mechanisms Involving Macrocyclic Copper(II) Complexes: Ligand Ring Size Effects on Catalytic Cycles

ChemPhysChem, EarlyView.
The ring size of the ligand strongly influences electronic properties, steric effects, and coordination modes of key intermediates. Both catalysts show similar energy barriers for OO bond formation, but [Cu(12‐TMC)]2+ exhibits more complex mechanisms due to ligand reorganization.
