We report herein an unprecedented desymmetrization of 1,4‐diynes via a Rh‐catalyzed asymmetric redox cycloisomerization. This method adopts allylic alcohol‐containing diynes and provides efficient access to multi‐functional pyrrolidines tetrahydrofurans in high excellent stereoselectivities. Mechanistic studies highlighted innovative catalytic pathway that differs from the classical enyne cycloisomerization involves initiation at alcohol moiety. Diverse derivatizations heterocycle products...
Abstract. While disaster studies researchers usually view risk as a function of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, few have systematically examined the relationships among various physical socioeconomic determinants underlying disasters, fewer done so through seismic analysis. In context 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan, this study constructs three statistical models to test different that affect fatality at village level, including exposure population fragile buildings, demographic...
This work uses density functional theory (DFT) calculations and kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulations to compare the diffusion of S-vacancies on defective MoS
Abstract We employ a probabilistic seismic risk analysis to estimate exceedance probability curves, average annual loss (AAL) and probable maximum (PML) of building stocks in Taipei. It utilizes an event‐driven estimation model, HAZ‐Taiwan, develops its pre‐processing post‐processing software modules. The module establishes set hazard‐consistent scenario earthquakes. HAZ‐Taiwan model estimates hazards, vulnerabilities economic losses for each earthquake. aggregate occurrence curves their...
On 31 March 2002, an earthquake of magnitude M L =6.8 occurred in northeastern Taiwan that caused five deaths and damage to more than 300 buildings. The left some important lessons; these lessons were not considered after the 1999 Chi-Chi (Taiwan) but must be taken into account for management a similar situation future. This article first presents strong motion characteristics found from ground accelerations recorded this event. In particular, basin effects on distribution intensities...
Abstract. While disaster studies researchers usually view risk as a function of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, few have systematically examined the relationships among various physical socioeconomic determinants underlying disasters, fewer done so through seismic analysis. In context 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan, this study constructs five hypothetical models to test different that affect fatality at village level, namely hazard intensity, population, building fragility,...
Pro-aromatic dihydroquinazolinones (DHQZ) are masked ketones capable of group transfer by leveraging their aromatic stabilization energy (ASE) to promote C–C bond cleavage, typically initiated photocatalysts and transition metals, generating a radical quinazolinone as by-product. Here, we present an indirect autocatalytic electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complex mode enable initiator-free activation generation for pro-aromatic DHQZ. Mechanistic studies revealed that the aggregation DHQZ was...
Finite difference (FD) solutions for static and dynamic Winkler's foundation models are applicable in modeling pile responses. In this paper, relevant on liquefaction induced lateral spreading presented. Direct indirect earth-pressure approximations implementations introduced. Pile failures of 1995 Kobe earthquake were examined using these models. It was found that both the analyses could provide rational displacements agreement with field observations. The largest at head from one earth...
