Shipping has played a vital role in the globalization of trade, allowing goods to be transported between continents efficiently and cost-effectively. While safety standards have improved dramatically, the increasing scale ...
Step-wise synthetic approach is necessary to access g-conjugates of folate: folate-conjugated prodigiosenes
(2019)
Despite the vast literature that describes reacting folic acid with a pharmacophore, this route is ineffective in providing the correct regioisomer of the resulting conjugate. We herein present a step-wise route to the ...
Classifying donor strengths of dipyrrinato/aza-dipyrrinato ligands
(2019)
A parameter is reported by which to use 13C NMR chemical shifts to measure and predict the donor capabilities of N^N dipyrrinato and aza-dipyrrinato ligands chelating in L^X fashion. The results enable the rationalisation ...
The Photodecarboxylation of Substituted Naphthylmethyl Arylacetate Esters: Synthesis of Naphthylarylethanes
(2019)
The synthesis of naphthylarylethanes via the photodecarboxylation of naphthylmethyl arylacetate
esters is reported where the aryl group is able to stabilize a charge transfer reaction. The reaction
proceeds via intramolecular ...
Synthesis and reactivity of 2-thionoester pyrroles: a route to 2-formyl pyrroles
(RSC Advances, 2019)
2-Functionalised pyrroles exhibit considerable synthetic utility. Herein, the synthesis and reactivity of 2-thionoester (-C(S)OR) pyrroles is reported. 2-Thionoester pyrroles were synthesized using a Knorr-type approach ...
Winter Distribution of the Black Guillemot (Cepphus grylle) in Atlantic Canada
(2019-04)
An understanding of animal movements contributes important knowledge on the spatial and temporal distribution of these animals. In particular, research on the distribution of seabirds, which are important ecological ...
Static or shifting: Quantifying the relationship between income and green space in urban Halifax, Nova Scotia (2001-2016)
(2019-04)
Urbanization can have damaging effects on many cities by exacerbating existing social and
environmental inequalities. Income inequality can have implications on urban environments
particularly if it leads to strong ...
Modeling habitat connectivity and movement of Blanding’s turtles (Emydoidea blandingii) across a fragmented landscape in Rouge National Urban Park, Ontario, Canada
(2019-04)
Rouge National Urban Park is a highly fragmented park in Canada’s most populous city, Toronto, Ontario. Habitat fragmentation has been found to hinder conservation efforts due to the associated increased risks of species ...
Unrolling the Truth about Paper Towel: Social, Financial and Environmental Incentives for Why Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS Should Install Electric Air Hand-Dryers in Future Buildings
(2019-04)
This paper aims to outline one way Dalhousie University can contribute to combating landfill waste. With the increasing global population and room for waste already becoming an issue, there is bound to be detrimental ...
