Get PDFSynthesis of Highly Reactive Sulfone Iminium Fluorides and Their Use in Deoxyfluorination and Sulfur Fluoride Exchange Chemistry
Get PDFWe report the synthesis of sulfone iminium fluorides (SIFs), a reactive class of sulfur(VI) molecules. The synthesis is tolerant of a variety of substituents on the sulfur and nitrogen components. The SIF reagents were applied to the deoxyfluorination of alcohols and carboxylic acids, providing high yields of fluorinated products in 60 s at room temperature. The SIF reagents were then utilized in sulfur fluoride exchange (SuFEx), creating the first ionic SuFEx products to date

Get PDFToward equitable and inclusive school practices: Expanding approaches to research with young people
Get PDFThis commentary links child-family research to the systematic inquiry approaches under the umbrellas of student voice and youth participatory action research. It reviews the underlying premises of the latter two bodies of work, including recognizing young people as knowers, partners, and change agents through conducting research with rather than on children and youth. It highlights how the articles included in this special issue challenge us to consider literacy not simply as a language competency but also as a life capacity that must be developed in relationship and in real, sometimes devastating, and always complex, human circumstances. The commentary concludes with a call to pursue multiple forms of literacy and linguistic justice through valuing young people\u27s multilingual and multimodal linguistic practices, honoring their diverse forms of perception and expression, and recognizing the rich insights and recommendations for practice they provide to those who work in school contexts
Responses of stomatal features and photosynthesis to porewater N enrichment and elevated atmospheric CO2 in Phragmites australis, the common reed
Get PDFPREMISE Biological invasions increasingly threaten native biodiversity and ecosystem services. One notable example is the common reed, Phragmites australis, which aggressively invades North American salt marshes. Elevated atmospheric CO2 and nitrogen pollution enhance its growth and facilitate invasion because P. australis responds more strongly to these enrichments than do native species. We investigated how modifications to stomatal features contribute to strong photosynthetic responses to CO2 and nitrogen enrichment in P. australis by evaluating stomatal shifts under experimental conditions and relating them to maximal stomatal conductance (g(wmax)) and photosynthetic rates.METHODS Plants were grown in situ in open-top chambers under ambient and elevated atmospheric CO2 (eCO(2)) and porewater nitrogen (N-enr) in a Chesapeake Bay tidal marsh. We measured light-saturated carbon assimilation rates (A(sat)) and stomatal characteristics, from which we calculated g(wmax) and determined whether CO2 and N-enr altered the relationship between g(wmax) and A(sat).RESULTS eCO(2) and N-enr enhanced both g(wmax) and A(sat), but to differing degrees; g(wmax) was more strongly influenced by N-enr through increases in stomatal density while A(sat) was more strongly stimulated by eCO(2). There was a positive relationship between g(wmax) and A(sat) that was not modified by eCO(2) or N-enr, individually or in combination.CONCLUSIONS Changes in stomatal features co-occur with previously described responses of P. australis to eCO(2) and N-enr. Complementary responses of stomatal length and density to these global change factors may facilitate greater stomatal conductance and carbon gain, contributing to the invasiveness of the introduced lineage
Review of Amplified Advantage: Going to a Good College in an Era of Inequality By Allison L. Hurst.
Get PDFAn authoring tool to provide group and crowd animation using Natural Language scripts
Get PDFVirtual environments have become ubiquitous, expanding beyond games into the domains of architecture, engineering, psychology, education, and archaeology. Furthermore, virtual humans can further enhance these environments when they provide compelling and coherent behaviors. In this paper, we present a scripting language based on simple, plain English commands. Our system assists people without game and animation expertise to populate large environments and complex scenarios. To validate our approach, we develop a prototype using Unreal Engine 4 and author a variety of indoor and outdoor agent simulations. Furthermore, we test our prototype with both experienced and inexperienced users, creating scenarios for a residence, mall, psychology scenario, and archaeological site
