From Loan Sharks to Commercial Banks: Moral Crusades and the Segmentation of the Credit Market in the United States, 1900-1945 by Simon Bittmann

“…First, we study the emergence of new credit systems at the beginning of the XXth century, which enabled lower-class workers to borrow using their future wages or small property as collateral.Two case studies focusing on the South and the Midwest enable us to set forth a new, more intersectional conceptualization of the credit relationship: we underline the different forms of embeddedness of these exchange systems, particularly in the labor process, in the judicial system and in specific forms of racial segregation. …”

Benchtop 1H NMR spectroscopy as a practical tool for characterization of chemically ex-changing systems in Ascorbic acid by Sevil Cikrikci

“…According to spectrum results and previous literature studies, shifting behaviour of Peak 1 (assigned to C4-H13) towards lower frequencies upon pH increase, gave us its feasibility for pKa determi-nation. While High-field NMR spectroscopy demonstrated the compositional analysis of AA and proton exchanges showing couplings between protons, Benchtop NMR was displayed as a limited tool owing to broadened lines of splitting peaks. …”
