Structural and Kinetics Studies of N^O‐, O^N^O‐, and N^N‐ Schiff Base Mn Complexes as Highly Active Catalysts in the Ring‐Opening Polymerization of rac‐Lactides

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 28, Issue 19, July 12, 2025.
Mononuclear and multinuclear manganese of (imino)phenol/pyridine proligands have been structurally characterized. The complexes form active catalysts in the ring‐opening polymerization of rac‐lactides to give predominantly atactic (poly)lactides with moderate molecular weights and good control of the polymer microstructure.

Analysis of the wind response to resolved versus parametrized turbulent orographic drag in high‐resolution simulations

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 151, Issue 770, July 2025 Part A.
This study analyzes the impact of orographic drag on the lower atmosphere over moderately complex terrain using high‐resolution ICON simulations. Numerical simulations explore the effects of parametrizations over moderately complex terrain near the Perdigao experiment site and the Serra da Estrela mountain range by comparing km‐ and 100‐m‐scale ...

The Impact and Compression‐After‐Impact Behaviour of CFRP After Double Impacts in Different Locations

Strain, Volume 61, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The present paper investigates the low‐velocity impact behaviour and the compression‐after‐impact (CAI) behaviour of carbon‐fibre reinforced‐plastic (CFRP) composite panels after two impacts in different locations on a test coupon. The effect of changing the separation distance between the two impacts, as well as changing the impact energy, is

Automated detection of weld defects in TOFD images for steel bridges using generative adversarial networks

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) has been widely adopted for weld defect detection in bridge steel quality assurance due to its harmlessness to the human body, real-time performance, and satisfactory detection accuracy.

Improving CO2 Fixation with Epoxides by Replacing Zirconium by Hafnium in UiO66 MOFs

ChemCatChem, Volume 17, Issue 5, March 6, 2025.
Substituting Zr⁴⁺ with Hf⁴⁺ in UiO66‐NH₂ functionalized with N,N'‐dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and N,N'‐diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIC) significantly enhances CO₂ adsorption and catalytic activity. Hf‐based catalysts, UiO66(Hf)‐DCCBr and UiO66(Hf)‐DICBr, possess stronger Lewis acidity and oxophilicity leading to high TOFs and yields under 0.1 MPa CO₂ ...

Gold Nanoparticle‐Catalyzed Solvent Switchable Selective Partial Reduction of Nitrobenzene to N‐Phenylhydroxylamine and Azoxybenzene

ChemCatChem, Volume 17, Issue 5, March 6, 2025.
Phosphine and phosphine oxide‐decorated polymer‐immobilized ionic liquid stabilized AuNPs are highly selective catalysts for the solvent‐dependent partial reduction of nitrobenzene to N‐phenylhydroxylamine in water and azoxybenzene in ethanol. Catalysts generated from phosphine oxide‐decorated support impregnated with either Au(I) or Au(III) are ...

Evaluating Near‐Surface Wind Speeds Simulated by the CRCM6‐GEM5 Model Using AmeriFlux Data Over North America

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract We evaluate the performance of various configurations of the Canadian Regional Climate Model (CRCM6‐GEM5) in simulating 10‐m wind speeds using data from 27 AmeriFlux stations across North America. The assessment employs a hierarchy of error metrics, ranging from simple mean bias to advanced metrics that account for the dependence of wind ...

Fluctuation Analyses for Pattern Classification in Nondestructive Materials Inspection

EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2010
We review recent work on the application of fluctuation analyses of time series for pattern classification in nondestructive materials inspection. These analyses are based on the evaluation of time-series fluctuations across time intervals of increasing ...
