TL;DR: In this paper, a mixed-thiol modified gold electrode (MUA:MU/cyt c electrode) was used for a superoxide detection system based on the spontaneous dismutation of KO2 and a new calibration method was established.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors empirically assesses the assumption that transnational municipal networks are a viable substitute for ambitious international action under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and find that membership in TMNs is skewed toward Europe and North America while countries from the Global South are underrepresented.
Abstract: Despite the proliferation and promise of subnational climate initiatives, the institutional architecture of transnational municipal networks (TMNs) is not well understood. With a view to close this research gap, the article empirically assesses the assumption that TMNs are a viable substitute for ambitious international action under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). It addresses the aggregate phenomenon in terms of geographical distribution, central players, mitigation ambition and monitoring provisions. Examining thirteen networks, it finds that membership in TMNs is skewed toward Europe and North America while countries from the Global South are underrepresented; that only a minority of networks commit to quantified emission reductions and that these are not more ambitious than Parties to the UNFCCC; and finally that the monitoring provisions are fairly limited. In sum, the article shows that transnational municipal networks are not (yet) the representative, ambitious and transparent player they are thought to be.

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical properties of the stellar populations in eight simulations of the formation of the Milky Way mass galaxies in a Λ cold dark matter universe were studied, including metal-dependent cooling and an explicitly multiphase treatment of the effects on the gas of cooling, enrichment and supernova feedback.
Abstract: We study the chemical properties of the stellar populations in eight simulations of the formation of Milky Way mass galaxies in a Λ cold dark matter universe. Our simulations include metal-dependent cooling and an explicitly multiphase treatment of the effects on the gas of cooling, enrichment and supernova feedback. We search for correlations between formation history and chemical abundance patterns. Differing contributions to spheroids and discs from in situ star formation and from accreted populations are reflected in differing chemical properties. Discs have younger stellar populations, with most stars forming in situ and with low α-enhancement from gas which never participated in a galactic outflow. Up to 15 per cent of disc stars can come from accreted satellites. These tend to be α-enhanced, older and to have larger velocity dispersions than the in situ population. Inner spheroids have old, metal-rich and α-enhanced stars which formed primarily in situ, more than 40 per cent from material recycled through earlier galactic winds. Few accreted stars are found in the inner spheroid unless a major merger occurred recently. Such stars are older, more metal-poor and more α-enhanced than the in situ population. Stellar haloes tend to have low metallicity and high α-enhancement. The outer haloes are made primarily of accreted stars. Their mean metallicity and α-enhancement reflect the masses of the disrupted satellites where they formed: more massive satellites typically have higher [Fe/H] and lower [α/Fe]. Surviving satellites have distinctive chemical patterns which reflect their extended, bursty star formation histories. These produce lower α-enhancement at given metallicity than in the main galaxy, in agreement with observed trends in the Milky Way.

TL;DR: This work presents the simultaneous experimental characterization of one-photon and two- photon excitation channels in isolated CF3I molecules using ultrafast gas-phase electron diffraction and mapped out the real-space trajectories of a coherent nuclear wave packet, which bifurcates onto two potential energy surfaces when passing through a conical intersection.
Abstract: Conical intersections play a critical role in excited-state dynamics of polyatomic molecules because they govern the reaction pathways of many nonadiabatic processes However, ultrafast probes have lacked sufficient spatial resolution to image wave-packet trajectories through these intersections directly Here, we present the simultaneous experimental characterization of one-photon and two-photon excitation channels in isolated CF3I molecules using ultrafast gas-phase electron diffraction In the two-photon channel, we have mapped out the real-space trajectories of a coherent nuclear wave packet, which bifurcates onto two potential energy surfaces when passing through a conical intersection In the one-photon channel, we have resolved excitation of both the umbrella and the breathing vibrational modes in the CF3 fragment in multiple nuclear dimensions These findings benchmark and validate ab initio nonadiabatic dynamics calculations
