A numerical investigation of influence of low-plasticity fines in sand on lateral response of piles by Ling-Yu Xu (6391217)

“…Accordingly, the presence of low-plasticity fines can significantly affect the ultimate lateral soil resistance; thus low-plasticity fines can affect the lateral response of piles. In this study, a quantitative method is proposed for determining the effect of low-plasticity fines in sand on the lateral response of piles in sand by combining a strain wedge model and a unified critical state compatible (UCSC) framework. …”

Chiral Metal–Organic Framework as a Platform for Cooperative Catalysis in Asymmetric Cyanosilylation of Aldehydes by Chengfeng Zhu (2083282)

“…In this work, we demonstrate cooperative asymmetric catalysis by a metal–organic framework (MOF) as exemplified in the context of catalyzing cyanation of aldehydes with a VO­(salen)-MOF, which after oxidation affords remarkably increased stereoselectivity (up to >99% ee) compared to the homogeneous VO­(salen) counterpart as a result of the pairs of VO­(salen) units in close proximity within its open channels. …”

Generation of a <i>dnt</i> mutant by imprecise excision of an adjacent P-element. by Liza L. Lahaye (330640)
