Exploring novel aluminum chemistry using quantum mechanical computations

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel organoaluminum compound, bis-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl diiododialane (Cp2Al2I2), was investigated using density functional and ab initio methods.

Thermal averaging of the spin-rotation coupling in small molecules leads to an isotropic NMR shielding.

TL;DR: It is shown that because of differential thermal population of M(J) levels at high magnetic fields, the spin rotation coupling retains a small isotropic component at high field, which closely mimics the chemical shift.

Hybrid governance in practice: The Clean Development Mechanism

Emma Lund
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an in-depth analysis of one example of hybrid governance, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), which engages private companies in implementing and supervising projects reducing greenhouse gas emissions in developing countries, creating emission reduction credits that can be traded on the carbon market.

Progressing through progresa: an impact assessment of a school subsidy experiment

TL;DR: The authors used a Markov schooling transition model applied to the experimental data to assess the impact of the educational subsidy program along several dimensions, including effects on initial ages of school entry, dropout rates, grade repetition rates, and school reentry rates.

A New Approach to Social Assistance: Latin America’s Experience with Conditional Cash Transfer Programs

TL;DR: Conditional cash transfer as discussed by the authors is a departure from more traditional approaches to social assistance, that represents an innovative, and increasingly popular channel for the delivery of social services that represents a demand-side complement to the supply of health, and education services.
