Chitin represents an abundant source of nitrogenous polysaccharides, making it a suitable feedstock for organonitrogen platform chemicals. In particular, furanic compounds, such as 3-acetamido-5-acetylfuran (3A5AF), can be readily obtained. Furans can be further functionalized using a Diels–Alder (DA) …

Resolutions of certain toroidal orbifolds, like T6/ℤ2 × ℤ2, are far from unique, due to triangulation dependence of their resolved local singularities. This leads to an explosion of the number of topologically distinct smooth geometries associated to a single orbifold. By introducing a parameterisation …

Resolutions of certain toroidal orbifolds, like T6/Z2xZ2, are far from unique, due to triangulation dependence of their resolved local singularities. This leads to an explosion of the number of topologically distinct smooth geometries associated to a single orbifold. By introducing a parameterisation …

Aminozuren vormen de bouwstenen voor eiwitten en het is algemeen bekend dat deze een belangrijke functie hebben in vele biologische functies. Er is daarom veel belang bij de mogelijkheid om aminozuren snel en efficiënt te kunnen analyseren. De meeste amino zuren hebben een chiraal centrum en daardoor …
