Aluminium triflate catalysed O-glycosidation : temperature-switched selective Ferrier rearrangement or direct addition with alcohols
A temperature-controlled mechanism switch between the Al(OTf)3-catalysed direct addition of alcohols or the Ferrier rearrangement reactions in some glycals is presented. The scope and limitations are investigated as are the influence of the stereochemistry and nature of the protecting groups on the glycal substrate

Nanotransfer Printing of Organic and Carbon Nanotube Thin-Film Transistors on Plastic Substrates
A printing process for high-resolution transfer of all components for organic
electronic devices on plastic substrates has been developed and demonstrated
for pentacene (Pn), poly (3-hexylthiophene) and carbon nanotube (CNT) thin-film
transistors (TFTs). The nanotransfer printing process allows fabrication of an
entire device without exposing any component to incompatible processes and with
reduced need for special chemical preparation of transfer or device substrates.
Devices on plastic substrates include a Pn TFT with a saturation, field-effect
mobility of 0.09 cm^2 (Vs)^-1 and on/off ratio approximately 10^4 and a CNT TFT
which exhibits ambipolar behavior and no hysteresis.Comment: to appear in Applied Physics Letter
Chlorido{N-[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)benzyl]-1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanamine-κP}gold(I)
In the title compound, [AuCl(C25H23N2P)], the AuI atom is in a typical almost linear coordination environment defined by phosphane P and Cl atoms [bond angle = 175.48 (4)°]. Helical supramolecular chains along the b axis and mediated by N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds feature in the crystal packing
Unsung heroes: who supports social work students on placement?
Since the introduction of the three year degree programme in 2003, social work education has undergone a number of significant changes. The time students spend on placement has been increased to two hundred days, and the range of placement opportunities and the way in which these placements have been configured has significantly diversified. A consistent feature over the years, however, has been the presence of a Practice Educator (PE) who has guided, assessed and taught the student whilst on placement. Unsurprisingly, the role of the PE and the pivotal relationship they have with the student has been explored in the past and features in social work literature.
This paper, however, concentrates on a range of other relationships which are of significance in providing support to students on placement. In particular it draws on research to discuss the role of the university contact tutor, the place of the wider team in which the student is sited, and the support offered by family, friends and others.
Placements and the work undertaken by PE’s will continue to be integral to the delivery of social work education. It is, however, essential to recognise and value the often over looked role of others in providing support to students on placement
Evaporative Cooling of a Two-Component Degenerate Fermi Gas
We derive a quantum theory of evaporative cooling for a degenerate Fermi gas
with two constituents and show that the optimum cooling trajectory is
influenced significantly by the quantum statistics of the particles. The
cooling efficiency is reduced at low temperatures due to Pauli blocking of
available final states in each binary collision event. We compare the
theoretical optimum trajectory with experimental data on cooling a quantum
degenerate cloud of potassium-40, and show that temperatures as low as 0.3
times the Fermi temperature can now be achieved.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Turbulent drag on a low-frequency vibrating grid in superfluid He-4 at very low temperatures
We present measurements of the dissipative turbulent drag on a vibrating grid in superfluid He-4 over a wide range of (low) frequencies. At high velocities, the dissipative drag is independent of frequency and is approximately the same as that measured in normal liquid He-4. We present measurements on a similar grid in superfluid He-3-B at low temperatures which shows an almost identical turbulent drag coefficient at low frequencies. However, the turbulent drag in He-3-B is substantially higher at higher frequencies. We also present measurements of the inertial drag coefficient for grid turbulence in He-4. The inertial drag coefficient is significantly reduced by turbulence in both superfluid and normal liquid He-4
