The transition to more sustainable energy systems has set about redefining the social roles and responsibilities of citizens. Implicit in this are expectations around participation, though precise contours what might mean remain open. Debates have been skewed towards a normative construct it means be 'good citizen', parameters for which shaped by predetermined visions statist and/or market-driven determinations future. This article argues that concepts such as 'energy citizen' co-opted...

An efficient process concept for the production of isosorbide is reported. Lignocellulose (after hemicellulose removal) treated with a molten salt hydrate ZnCl2 medium in which cellulose dissolved and reactions proceed: hydrolysis to glucose, hydrogenation glucose glucitol (sorbitol), further dehydration isosorbide. The intensifies catalyzes dehydration. Detailed facts importance specialist readers are published as "Supporting Information". Such documents peer-reviewed, but not copy-edited...

This white paper envisions a revolutionary post-DESI, post-LSST dark energy program based on intensity mapping of the redshifted 21cm emission line from neutral hydrogen at radio frequencies. The proposed survey has unique capability to quadruple volume Universe surveyed by optical programs, provide percent-level measurement expansion history $z \sim 6$, open window explore physics beyond concordance $Λ$CDM model, and significantly improve precision standard cosmological parameters. In...

This article explores the implications of participation for Environmental Policy Integration (EPI), through window Irish energy policy, employing concepts 'energy democracy' and citizenship'. Our analysis a consultation process on policy identifies distinctive narratives, with different idealisations citizens. We distil consequent, emergent institutional innovations examining imagined citizens, communication, decision-making linked to policy. adapt operationalise analytical framework...

Tourette syndrome (TS) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are frequently seen in combination, though the cause of comorbidity is uncertain. Low birth weight a known risk factor for ADHD. The objective study was to assess association between pre- perinatal morbidity comorbid diagnosis ADHD children with TS.A nested case-control evaluated TS at subspecialty clinic performed. Cases were defined as ADHD; controls had without Exposure assessed using demographic information...

All forms of collective memory embody attempts at meaning-making - efforts to integrate experience and provide a coherent foundation for individual identities. However, different modes have potentials. In this article, I will assess three remembering, namely folk, commemorative mediatised memory, from the perspective how they generate integrative meaning. Each these remembrance be examined through prism case study examining nature memories associated with specific lieux de memoire. suggest...

Organo-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) have attracted much attention recently for their utility as solid base catalysts, providing an environmentally friendly heterogeneous phase alternative to conventional stoichiometric liquid bases. Here we describe a synthetic approach the production of layered containing organic (acetate) anions by method that requires no excess base, filtering or washing product. A mixture slurry aluminium trihydroxide (or its thermally treated form), magnesium oxide,...
