Gender Distribution and Geography of Highly Cited Papers in ACS Catalysis
No full textFollowing the editorial series presented in ACS Catalysis in 2020, I investigated the gender distribution in highly cited ACS Catalysis papers. As a main result, I found that from the 155 highly cited papers that showed up in my analysis, only 15 papers have female corresponding author(s) (9.7%), and only 5 of these 15 papers have solely female corresponding author(s) (3.2%). I also analyzed geographical distribution and found that two new categories "Small Countries", including for example Cyprus, Greece, Iceland, and Ireland, and "Developing Countries", including Mexico, South Africa, Thailand, and Vietnam, provide significant contributions to ACS Catalysis, larger than Canada or UK, based on the defined metrics

Towards a sustainable partnership between ACS & FACS: What's next?
No full text© 2015 American Chemical Society.Today, the Chinese economy (GDP US3.6 t), France (2.7 t) & UK (2.4 t) put together. The combined economies of China, Japan (2.0) are matching that of the USA ($16.2). By 2018, the Chinese economy alone is expected to reach 70% of the U.S. economy. The accelerating growth of Asian economies has brought along immense opportunities not only in business but also in research collaboration, adoption of new technologies, and education exchanges. The emergence of Asia has presented exciting prospects in the chemical sciences â€" from education to technology, from environment to energy, from health to business. How do we grow the partnership between ACS and FACS (Federation of Asian Chemical Societies) amidst these vigorous developments and changes? What are the biggest opportunities that Asia has presented and the challenges that the strategic partnership will face? In this article, the author touches on these topics and gives his views on the way forward.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
Abstract ACS – OVERVIEW OF TECHNICAL FEATURES
No full textThe ACS is a CORBA-based framework for the development of Control Systems and higher level data flow and coordination applications. It is used to develop the ALMA software and in particular the ALMA Control System. It currently runs in the ALMA Test Interferometer, in the APEX radiotelescope and in the accelerator ANKA in Karlsruhe. More about ACS status and developments can be found in the article by G. Chiozzi [1]. This paper provides an overview and description of ACS features. ACS uses several standard CORBA services such as notification service, naming service, interface repository and implementation repository. ACS hides all details of the underlying mechanisms, which use many complex features of CORBA, queuing, asynchronous communication, thread pooling, life-cycle management, etc. In addition, ACS provide
RNA as a Precursor to N-Doped Activated Carbon
No full textActivated carbons (ACs) have applications in gas separation and power storage, and N-doped ACs in particular can be promising supercapacitors. In this context, we studied ACs produced from yeast-derived ribonucleic acid (RNA), which contains aza-aromatic bases and phosphate-linked ribose units, and is surprisingly inexpensive. The RNA was hydrothermally carbonized to produce hydrochars that were subsequently activated with CO2, KOH, or KHCO3 to give ACs. The ACs adsorbed up to similar to 7 mmol/g at 0 degrees C and 1 bar and had capacitances as high as similar to 300 F/g in a three-electrode cell and a 6 M KOH(aq) electrolyte. The material that displayed the best capacitance was tested in a two-electrode cell, which displayed a specific capacitance of 181 F/g even at a current density of 10 A/g. The ACs with the highest uptake of CO2 and the highest capacitance were those activated with KOH and KHCO3; however, CO2 activation is arguably less expensive and more suitable for industrialization.</p
A short proof of the G\'acs--K\"orner theorem
No full textWe present a short proof of a celebrated result of G\'acs and K\"orner giving
sufficient and necessary condition on the joint distribution of two discrete
random variables and for the case when their mutual information matches
the extractable (in the limit) common information. Our proof is based on the
observation that the mere existence of certain random variables jointly
distributed with and can impose restriction on all random variables

Symmetric units in modular group algebras
No full textLet p be a prime, G a locally finite p-group, K a commutative ring of characteristic p. The anti-automorphism g bar arrow pointing right g(-1) of G extends linearly to an anti-automorphism a bar arrow pointing right a* of KG. An element a of KG is called symmetric if a* = a. In this paper we answer the question: for which G and K do the symmetric units of KG form a multiplicative group
Toll-like receptor 2, hyaluronan, and neutrophils play a key role in plaque erosion: the OPTICO-ACS study
No full textBackground and aims In one-third of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), thrombosis occurs despite an intact fibrous cap (IFC) (IFC- ACS, 'plaque erosion'). Recent studies emphasize neutrophils as the immediate inflammatory response in this pathology, but their exact molecular activation patterns are still poorly understood and may represent future therapeutic targets. Methods and results Thirty-two patients with IFC-ACS and matched patients with ACS with ruptured fibrous cap (RFC) (RFC-ACS) from the OPTICO-ACS study were included, and blood samples were collected from the local site of the culprit lesion and the systemic circulation. Neutrophil surface marker expression was quantified by flow cytometry. Neutrophil cytotoxicity towards endothelial cells was examined in an ex vivo co-culture assay. Secretion of active matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) by neutrophils was evaluated using zymography in supernatants and in plasma samples. Optical coherence tomography (OCT)-embedded thrombi were used for immunofluorescence analysis. Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) expression was higher on neutrophils from IFC-ACS than RFC-ACS patients. TLR2 stimulation increased the release of active MMP9 from local IFC-ACS-derived neutrophils, which also aggravated endothelial cell death independently of TLR2. Thrombi of IFC-ACS patients exhibited more hyaluronidase 2 with concomitant increase in local plasma levels of the TLR2 ligand: hyaluronic acid. Conclusion The current study provides first in-human evidence for distinct TLR2-mediated neutrophil activation in IFC-ACS, presumably triggered by elevated soluble hyaluronic acid. Together with disturbed flow conditions, neutrophil-released MMP9 might be promoting endothelial cell loss-triggered thrombosis and therefore providing a potential future target for a phenotype-specific secondary therapeutic approach in IFC-ACS. 7copy; The Author(s) 2023
The ACS statistical analyzer
No full textDTRS98-G-0032BDK85977-02This document provides guidance for using the ACS Statistical Analyzer. It is an Excel-based template for users of estimates from the American Community Survey (ACS) to assess the precision of individual estimates and to compare pairs of estimates for their statistical differences. The ACS Statistical Analyzer covers the following four functions and fifteen sub-functions (not listed): to derive other precision measures for published ACS estimates at American FactFinder or from the Census Transportation Planning Products (CTPP), which already have a margin of error (MOE); to derive the precision measures for estimates that do not already have an MOE; to derive the precision measures of new estimates obtained from two or more original estimates that already have an MOE; to compare pairs of two estimates that already have an MOE
