Profiling the turbulent atmosphere and novel correction techniques for imaging and photometry in astronomy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The turbulent atmosphere has two detrimental effects in astronomy. The phase aberration induced by the turbulence broaden the point spread function (PSF) and limits the resolution for imaging.

Beyond Conventional Cost–Benefit Analysis to Integrated Sustainability Assessment in Additive Manufacturing

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Additive manufacturing (AM) adoption provides numerous benefits, including decentralised production, design flexibility, mass customisation, reduced material waste and lightweight designs. However, AM investment decisions are complex and challenging for manufacturers, and limited knowledge exists about the holistic assessment of relevant costs

Intuition or Rationality? A Revised Knowledge‐Attitude‐Behaviour Framework in Sustainable Consumer Behaviour

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The paper provides a revised knowledge–attitude–behaviour (KAB) framework to explain sustainable consumption. Drawing on the dual‐process perspective, the study investigates how intuitive and rational cues shape the translation of objective product knowledge into sustainable attitudes and consumption.

The Productivity of Ground-Based Optical Telescopes of Various Apertures

open access: yes, 2003
By scanning the papers published during the first quarter of 1996 in A&A. AJ, ApJ, Icarus, and MNRAS, and by noting those that were based on optical ground-based telescopes of various apertures, we learned that 82% of the papers carne from telescopes ...

Reversible Cystine Disulfide Scaffolding Enables Carbonyl Sulfide‐Mediated Intramolecular Peptide Bond Formation via Cyclocystine: Implications for Prebiotic Chemistry

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Cystine is unique among amino acids, in that the disulfide bond can allow intramolecular peptide bond formation. This cyclization offers potential advantages for intramolecular coupling selectivity in prebiotic peptide formation. ABSTRACT Treatment of cystine (the disulfide‐linked dimer of cysteine) with carbonyl sulfide (COS) results in the formation ...

X‐Ray Absorption Sensitivity at 5d$5d$ Edges of High‐Valent Light Actinides to Crystal‐Field Strength and Covalency Effects

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Analysis of x‐ray absorption spectra of U(VI) and U(V) oxides indicates an important role of U 5f−O$5f-\rm{O}$ 2p$2p$ charge transfer for increasing the 5f$5f$ occupancy and thereby affecting the ground state properties. ABSTRACT The 5f$5f$ states were probed in ThO2$\rm{ThO}_2$ and U(VI) and U(V) oxides using x‐ray absorption spectroscopy at the ...

Exploring the Synthesis of Metalloporphyrin Equipped Pd12L24 Supramolecular Spheres

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
We expand the scope of Pd12L24 nanospheres equipped with porphyrins. Focusing on the porphyrin metallation state, synthetic strategies for porphyrin building block (BB)compounds are developed. The compounds are evaluated against nanosphere self‐assembly conditions.

The life and work of Ernest Sydney Keeping

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article reviews the life and contributions of Ernest S. Keeping (1895–1984), a British‐born physicist who became a mathematics professor at the University of Alberta in 1929. He played a pivotal role in shaping the university's Mathematics Department, serving as its head from 1954 to 1961, and continuing to teach until 1970, nine years ...
