Synthesis, structure and properties of novel Cu(II)-based metal-organic frameworks by Bardini, Marco

“…These materials have shown a lot of potential, especially in devices aimed at sequestering greenhouse gases (such as CO2 and CH4) from the atmosphere, 6 as well as in fuel tanks for hydrogen-powered cars. 7 The characteristics that allow MOFs to be used for such purposes are their high internal surface area to volume ratio, their relatively high thermal stability and the possibility to fine-tune their structure to optimize a given MOF for a given application. 8 Another feature of some MOFs, especially those built with semiflexible organic linkers9 between metallic nodes, is that they can change their conformation and therefore their pore size and internal surface area, in response to an external stimulus. 2,10 This behavior is especially interesting for systems which can be engineered to absorb and then release small molecules in a controlled manner. 11,12 This last property is one that I set out to exploit in my thesis work, starting from Cu(II) molecular complexes previously synthesized in the University of Cape Town (UCT) laboratories and varying experimental conditions in order to get MOFs of similar systems. …”

Uncovering the hidden mechanisms governing the transcriptional regulation of inflammation by Fok, Ezio T

“…Importantly, this work implicates the role of two novel lncRNAs in inflammation, essentially contributing to the functional annotation to the genome and providing novel targets for the modulation of pathogenic inflammation.…”

A compact short-wave receiving antenna for use in high-noise areas by Muggleton, Louis Miles

“…Although the design is of general application to the reception, in high-noise areas, of long distance transmissions, this work deals in particular with the London-Salisbury circuit, at September noon, 1956, on 21.47 Mc/s. …”
