I and i
TL;DR: There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one, which seems an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Acetic Acid Formation by Selective Aerobic Oxidation of Aqueous Ethanol over Heterogeneous Ruthenium Catalysts
TL;DR: In this article, a heterogeneous catalyst system comprising ruthenium hydroxide supported on different carrier materials, titania, alumina, ceria, and spinel (MgAl2O4), was applied in selective aerobic oxidation ethanol to form acetic acid, an important bulk chemical and food ingredient.

Synthesis and degradation of sorbitol‐based polymers
TL;DR: In this paper, a new class of biodegradable copolyesters was synthesized by the catalyst-free melt condensation of sorbitol with citric acid, tartaric acid, and sebacic acid.

Effect of expressing polyhydroxybutyrate synthesis genes (phbCAB) in Streptococcus zooepidemicus on production of lactic acid and hyaluronic acid
TL;DR: This is the first study demonstrating that PHA synthesis related to energy and carbon metabolism could be employed as a pathway to regulate other cellular metabolism and possibly to regulate the production of other metabolic products.

Comparison of thermal characteristics and degradation properties of epsilon-caprolactone copolymers.
TL;DR: The enhancement of degradation of the epsilon-CL polymers was achieved by the addition of a second lactone monomer during the copolymerization process, which prominently depended on the initial molar ratio and the chemical structure of the monomers.
