“…The development of free-flying autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) with ranges of tens to hundreds of kilometres enables extensive missions to take place beneath sea ice and floating ice shelves. Autosub2 is a 3600 kg, 6.7 m long AUV, with a 1600 m operating depth and range of 400 km, based on the earlier Autosub1 which had a 500m depth limit. …”

New systems for heterogeneous catalytic epoxidation by Patricia Ho-Hune

“…These materials were shown to be able to successfully catalyse the epoxidation of 1-phenylcyclohexene. The epoxidation reactions were performed in a triphasic system using Oxone® as the oxidising agent and 25 mol% of the catalyst. …”
