Mixed plastics waste represents an abundant and largely untapped feedstock for the production of valuable products. The chemical diversity complexity these materials, however, present major barriers to realizing this opportunity. In work, we show that metal-catalyzed autoxidation depolymerizes comingled polymers into a mixture oxygenated small molecules are advantaged substrates biological conversion. We engineer robust soil bacterium, Pseudomonas putida, funnel compounds single exemplary...
Abstract Efforts to produce aromatic monomers through catalytic lignin depolymerization have historically focused on aryl–ether bond cleavage. A large fraction of in lignin, however, are linked by various carbon–carbon (C–C) bonds that more challenging cleave and limit the yields from depolymerization. Here, we report a autoxidation method C–C lignin-derived dimers oligomers pine poplar. The uses manganese zirconium salts as catalysts acetic acid produces carboxylic acids primary products....
This study tested the principle that <sup>68</sup>Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT may be used to select children with primary refractory or relapsed high-risk neuroblastoma for treatment <sup>177</sup>Lu-DOTATATE and evaluated whether this is a viable therapeutic option those children. <b>Methods:</b> Between 2008 2010, 8 were studied PET/CT. The criterion of eligibility therapy was uptake on diagnostic scan equal higher than liver. <b>Results:</b> Of imaged, 6 had abnormally high proceeded treatment....
A POM can perform four functions simultaneously, a theme of potential value in the construction energy converting multicomponent assemblies.
Many small American farms struggle to remain economically viable due a confluence of global market dynamics, rising costs, and urbanization pressure. Agritourism is an increasingly popular form alternative agriculture enterprise development designed expand farm income, generally through fuller employment existing resources. The economic significance agritourism within the community, however, not well understood. Existing literature inconclusive about importance as component income. This...

Abstract A wide range of chemical warfare agents and their simulants are catalytically decontaminated by a new one‐dimensional polymeric polyniobate (P‐PONb), K 12 [Ti 2 O ][GeNb 40 ]⋅19 H ( KGeNb ) under mild conditions in the dark. Uniquely, facilitates hydrolysis nerve Sarin (GB) Soman (GD) (and less reactive simulants, dimethyl methylphosphonate (DMMP)) as well mustard (HD) both liquid gas phases at ambient temperature absence neutralizing bases or illumination.

A polyoxometalate-based polymer with multifunctional capabilities including rapid gelation and catalytic decontamination of toxic or odorous compounds is realized.
Copper-based complexes have been largely neglected as potential water reduction catalysts. This article reports the synthesis and characterization of a tetra-copper-containing polyoxotungstate, Na3K7[Cu4(H2O)2(B-α-PW9O34)2]·30H2O (Na3K7-Cu4P2). Cu4P2 is water-compatible catalyst for efficient visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution when coupled to (4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-dipyridyl)-bis(2-phenylpyridine(1H))-iridium(III) hexafluorophosphate ([Ir(ppy)2(dtbbpy)][PF6]) light absorber...
The Zr-containing polyoxometalates (POMs), including (Et2NH2)8{[α-PW11O39Zr(μ–OH)(H2O)]2}·7H2O (1), effectively catalyze the hydrolysis of nerve agent simulants at near-neutral pH. Analogous heterogeneous systems are much-studied and effective nerve-agent catalysts, but due to their nature, it is very challenging know exact structure catalytic sites during turnover clarify molecular level elementary mechanistic processes. Here, under homogeneous conditions, rates simulant methyl paraoxon...
Selective lignin depolymerization is a key step in valorization to value-added products, and there are multiple catalytic methods cleave labile aryl–ether bonds lignin. However, the overall aromatic monomer yield inherently limited by refractory carbon–carbon linkages, which abundant remain intact during most selective deconstruction processes. In this work, we demonstrate that Co/Mn/Br-based autoxidation method promotes bond cleavage acetylated oligomers produced from reductive...
Because populations of channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus have been difficult to sample in small impoundments, we determined whether tandem hoop net series (three nets tied and baited with cheese) fished for 3 d could effectively these populations. In 2000 compared seasonal catch rates (catch per unit effort (CPUE), defined as the number fish caught series) length frequencies (total (TL); mm) captured two types (long versus short bridles) monitored mortality along CPUE bycatch five lakes....
Abstract Baited and unbaited hoop-nets commonly are used to capture catfish in lotic lentic systems. Turtle bycatch post-capture mortality has been problematic during surveys Missouri, USA, most recently the Gasconade River, Osage counties. We evaluated 3 modified hoop-net designs that would reduce turtle without reducing River 15 May-15 July 2006 after pilot study evaluation of 5 April 2006. deployed control-nets blocks for 48 hours evaluate differences catch rate, as well abundance, size,...
