Landscapes without landscape architects. The ecological beauty of informal urban landscapes by Chiara Catalano, Thomas E. Hauck, Susann Ahn, Salvatore Pasta

“… Regarding the maintenance of urban green infrastructure, most stakeholders prefer achieving an oversimplified aesthetic archetype of cleanliness and order at the cost of high maintenance, whilst landscape architects try to reproduce islands of near-natural vegetation even where the environmental factors typical of urban areas do not allow it. …”

Self-Assembly of Particles on a Curved Mesh by Gabriele Costa, Santi Prestipino

“…We highlight the existence of sharp transitions between distinct low-temperature “phases”, featuring, among others, regular polyhedral, cluster-crystal-like, and worm-like structures. When attempting to reproduce the equation of state of the model by Monte Carlo simulation, we find hysteretic behavior near zero temperature, implying a bottleneck issue for Metropolis dynamics near phase-crossover points.…”

Tautomeric Equilibria in Solutions of 2-Phenacylbenzimidazoles by Agnieszka Skotnicka, Przemysław Czeleń, Ryszard Gawinecki

“…The experimental analyses are supported by quantum-chemical calculations, which satisfactorily reproduced the experimental trends. Although the reported semiempirical quantum-chemical calculations show that enaminone E, i.e., 2-(1,3-dihydro-2H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-ylidene)-1-phenylethan-1-one, was thermodynamically most stable, the results of MP2 ab initio calculations reveal the following order of stability: ketimine > enolimine > enaminone (substituents do not affect this sequence). 13C CPMAS NMR spectral data reveal that in the crystalline state the enolimine tautomer O is predominant in the p-CH3 and p-NO2 substituted congeners.…”
