This paper explores Jazz music during the Cold War. During the Cold War the U.S. went through a process of becoming more explicitly religious, identifying specifically a Judeo-Christian country. Particularly through foreign policy, the separation between church and state became less and less clear to the point where it seemed...
Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) studies of aqueous [Ta₆O₁₉]⁸⁻
compared to prior studies of aqueous [Nb₆O₁₉]⁸⁻ reveals key
differences in behaviour, which is likely at the root of the difficultly
in developing polyoxotantalate chemistry. Specifically, where
contact ion-pairing dominates between [Nb₆O₁₉]⁸⁻ and its
counterions, solvent-separated ion-pairing between [Ta₆O₁₉]⁸⁻
and its counterions...

Polyoxoniobates are exceptional amongst polyoxometalates in that
they can potentially perform base catalysis in water, a process in
which a proton is bonded to an oxo ligand, and a hydroxyl is
released. Catalytic decomposition of chemical warfare agents such
as organofluorophosphates that were used recently in the infamous
civilian attacks...
While environmental stressors such as hypoxia (low dissolved oxygen) are perceived as a threat to the productivity
of coastal ecosystems, policy makers have little information about the economic consequences for fisheries. Prior
studies based on data aggregated at relatively large spatial (e.g.,1000s km) and temporal (e.g., annual) scales have
typically...
The Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) for
Solid-State Lighting Science (SSLS) is one of 46 EFRCs initiated in
2009 to conduct basic and use-inspired research relevant to energy
technologies. The overarching theme of the SSLS EFRC is the
exploration of energy conversion in tailored photonic structures. In
this article we...
The reality confronting ecosystem managers today is one of heterogeneous, rapidly transforming landscapes,
particularly in the areas more affected by urban and agricultural development. A landscape management
framework that incorporates all systems, across the spectrum of degrees of alteration, provides a fuller set of
options for how and when to...
We provide here a comparative genome analysis of ten strains within the Pseudomonas fluorescens group including seven new genomic sequences. These strains exhibit a diverse spectrum of traits involved in biological control and other multitrophic interactions with plants, microbes, and insects. Multilocus sequence analysis placed the strains in three sub-clades,...
