    • Computational Studies on the Mechanisms for Deaminative Amide Hydrogenation by Homogeneous Bifunctional Catalysts 

      Artús Suàrez, Lluís; Balcells, David; Nova, Ainara (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-14)
      The deaminative hydrogenation of amides is one of the most convenient pathways for the synthesis of amines and alcohols. The ideal source of reducing equivalents for this reaction is molecular hydrogen, though, in practice, this approach requires high pressures and temperatures, with many catalysts achieving only small turnover numbers and frequencies. Nonetheless, during the last ten years, this ...
    • Hydration dynamics and the future of small-amplitude afm imaging in air 

      Santos Hernandez, Sergio; Olukan, Tuza Adeyemi; Lai, Chia-Yun; Chiesa, Matteo (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-23)
      Here, we discuss the effects that the dynamics of the hydration layer and other variables, such as the tip radius, have on the availability of imaging regimes in dynamic AFM—including multifrequency AFM. Since small amplitudes are required for high-resolution imaging, we focus on these cases. It is possible to fully immerse a sharp tip under the hydration layer and image with amplitudes similar to ...

    • The influence of snow properties on speed and gait choice in the Svalbard rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta hyperborea) 

      Marmol-Guijarro, Andres C; Nudds, R; Folkow, Lars; Sellers, William R.; Falkingham, P; Codd, J (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-14)
      Substrate supportiveness is linked to the metabolic cost of locomotion, as it influences the depth to which the foot of a moving animal will sink. As track depth increases, animals typically reduce their speed to minimize any potential energetic imbalance. Here, we examine how self-selected speed in the Svalbard rock ptarmigan is affected by snow supportiveness and subsequent footprint depth measured ...
