TL;DR: In this article, the relative efficiency of triethylamine, tetrabutylammonium trifluoroacetate, and lithium acetate as catalysts for the conversion of 4-methoxycinnamic acid to 4mETHoxy-β-bromostyrene was evaluated.
Abstract: UV-vis spectrophotometry is utilized to measure the relative efficiency of lithium acetate, tetrabutylammonium trifluoroacetate, and triethylamine as catalysts for the conversion of 4-methoxycinnamic acid to 4-methoxy-β-bromostyrene. In acetonitrile-water as solvent, the efficiency order is lithium acetate > triethylamine > tetrabutylammonium trifluoroacetate. For triethylamine as catalyst, solvent-dependent order is acetonitrile-water > dichloromethane > acetonitrile. Using triethylamine as catalyst (5-20 mol %), cinnamic acids, and propiolic acids are converted to corresponding β-bromostyrenes and 1-halo-1-alkynes in 60-98% isolated yields within 1-5 min.

TL;DR: In the Indian Himalaya, a 15 km stretch of the North Sikkim Highway that is exceptionally susceptible to landsliding is characterized by fine-grained, low permeability debris material as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: In the Indian Himalaya, a 15 km stretch of the North Sikkim Highway that is exceptionally susceptible to landsliding is characterized by fine-grained, low permeability debris material Lanta Khola is one of the major debris slides in this stretch and is active every year during the monsoons Although the relationship between rainfall and landsliding in the area is obvious, there is no previous study of precipitation thresholds for landslide initiation Review of available rainfall and landslide activity data for the area between 1998 and 2006 suggests that sliding cannot be modeled by typical exponential relationships between cumulative rainfall (E) and rainfall duration (D) An alternative rainfall threshold has been proposed that predicts sliding if normalized cumulative rainfall for more than 15 days exceeds 250 mm It is suggested that when this cumulative rainfall threshold is exceeded, the debris zone in the affected stretch becomes saturated and fails, causing landsliding

TL;DR: Cell wall strengthening, through the deposition of lignin, preceded by the induction of the synthesizing enzymes appears to play an important role in the defense response of Lycopersicon esculentum in reaction to elicitors, including one derived from Fusarium oxysporum f.
