Using sports infrastructure to deliver economic and social change: Lessons for London beyond 2012

Over the last two decades, there has been a new trend emerging within sport, which has seen a shift, from investment for the sake of sport, to investment in sport for good (Sport England, 2008). In the context of the latter approach, there has been an emergence of the use of sport to address regeneration objectives, largely stemming from the belief of government and other sporting and non-sporting organizations, that it can confer a wide range of economic and social benefits to individuals and communities beyond those of a purely physical sporting nature, and can contribute positively to the revitalization of declining urban areas (BURA, 2003). This commentary will examine regeneration legacy in the context of the London Olympic Games. In particular, it will focus on the use of sports stadia as a tool for delivering economic and social change, and by drawing upon previous examples, suggest lessons London can learn to enhance regeneration legacies beyond 2012

BODIPY derivatives as donor materials for bulk heterojunction solar cells

BODIPY derivatives have been used as donor in solution-processed bulk heterojunction solar cells using PCBM as acceptor. A power conversion efficiency of 1.34% has been obtained under simulated solar irradiation
