A new entry to sonochemical/efficient agitation switching: alkene formation through epoxide deoxygenation by Benjamin Buckley, Anish P. Patel, Upul Wijayantha-Kahagala-Gamage

“…We herein report a new addition to this switching phenomenon in which epoxides are converted to cyclic carbonates by addition of CO under standard heating/electrolysis conditions but are 'switched' to alkenes under deoxygenating sonochemical conditions. © Georg Thieme Verlag.…”

Activation of hydrogen peroxide by diphenyl diselenide for highly enantioselective oxaziridinium salt mediated catalytic asymmetric epoxidation by Benjamin Buckley, Claire Elliott, Yohan Chan, Nicholas Dreyfus, Philip C. Bulman Page

“…The first reported use of benzeneperseleninic acid as a catalytic mediator for oxaziridinium ion catalysed epoxidation is described, providing reaction rates and ee values (up to 85%) similar to those reported when using oxone as the stoichiometric oxidant. …”

The effects of rear-wheel camber on maximal effort mobility performance in wheelchair athletes by Barry Mason, Lucas H.V. van der Woude, Keith Tolfrey, Vicky Goosey-Tolfrey

“…This study examined the effect of rear-wheel camber on maximal effort wheelchair mobility performance. 14 highly trained wheelchair court sport athletes performed a battery of field tests in 4 standardised camber settings (15°, 18°, 20°, 24°) with performance analysed using a velocometer. 20m sprint times reduced in 18° (5.89±0.47s, P=0.011) and 20° camber (5.93±0.47s, P=0.030) compared with 24 (6.05±0.45s). …”
