Social capital and sport participation.
(2002)
Children throughout the world are involved in many different activities. In the industrialized world children frequently spend their time involved in sports. In this study I investigate how social capital, as described by ...
SELECTIVE CONVERSION OF UNSATURATED CARBOXYLIC ACIDS TO OLEFINS OR DIOLEFINS
(2018-05-12)
Biomass is composed of pentosans and hexosans that can be converted to γ-valerolactone (GVL) via an acid-catalyzed dehydration and metal-catalyzed hydrogenation reactions.16,17 Through acid catalysis, GVL can undergo ...
