This thesis is concerned with the ways in which the cassette tape has been remade as a new medium through changing uses, social relationships, institutional arrangements, and industrial contexts. Declared a dead format at the beginning of the twenty-first century, the format has made a steady resurgence from the late 2000s to the present day. Drawi...
The control of the stereochemistry of macromolecules is a very important goal, and coordination-insertion polymerization is superior with respect to the other polymerization methods for its achievement. In this contribution, we focus on Pd(II) homogeneous catalysts for the stereocontrolled synthesis of CO/vinyl arene polyketones. We developed a lib...
Herein we report the synthesis of a new family of styryl-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (Tn, where n = 8, 10, and 12), in which the organic moiety is linked to all n vertices of the Tn cages via the phenyl ring rather than the vinyl group. In contrast to earlier studies in which the styryl group is linked to the cage via the v...

To prevent slip and fall events at the workplace, mechanical slip testing is conducted on shoes. Such experiments may involve redundant testing across floorings and contaminant conditions, causing wasted time and effort. Quantify the correlations between shoe traction across different contaminant-flooring conditions to reduce redundant slip testing...
HAlBEA and CoHAlBEA zeolite catalysts treated at 523 K or 873 K for 3 h in Ar, H2/Ar or air flows, respectively, were investigated in catalytic dehydrochlorination of 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE). The dehydrochlorination of DCE on these zeolite catalysts resulted in almost 100% selectivity to vinyl chloride (VC) monomer. It was demonstrated that differ...
Gramofonske plošče ali vinilke spadajo pod eno najstarejših vrst analognega zapisovanja zvoka. Za osebno rabo so jih začeli množično uporabljati že v začetku 20. stoletja, ko so s tem nadomestili fonografske cilindre. Vendar se je priljubljenost vinilk zelo zmanjšala, ko so v 80-ih letih 20. stoletja razvili digitalno zapisovanje zvoka. Posledično ...
The chemistry of ruthenium–borane complex, [Cp∗RuCO(μ-H)BH2L] (Cp∗ = η5-C5Me5; L = C7H4NS2), 1 with various alkynes has been explored. Photolysis of 1 with alkynyl-Grignard, [HC[tbnd]CMgBr] in toluene led to the isolation of vinyl hydroborate complex [Cp∗Ru(μ-H)BH_HC[dbnd]CH2_L], 2a as a sole product. Compound 2a can be viewed as a ruthenium–borate...
Technology non-use or active resistance towards technology is a pertinent issue in Human Computer Interaction, especially when we contemplate the ongoing changes regarding the concept of usability. By combining Theory of Practice and Theory of Materiality with Theory of Affect this thesis explores the resistance towards online streaming music techn...
Vinylen har lyckats överleva trots att både CD:n och det digitala formatet gett oss nya och lättare sätt att lyssna på musiken. Vinylen tilltalar personer i yngre åldrar som inte växte upp med vinylen som det vardagliga formatet. Det tydligaste resultat som kommit att visa sig i undersökning för denna uppsats är att vinyler fortfarande upplevs till...
"Listening to Stories: sound record and memory of Popular Music ", is an extension project of CEDAPHCenter of documentation and Historical research support of UNESP Franca/SP. It aims turn available to digital format the digitalized content of vinyl records and a collection already scanned, derived from donations of collectors. Along with the digit...
