Local Ecological Knowledge and Biological Conservation: Post-normal Science as an Intercultural Field by Jorje Ignacio Zalles

“…Given its epistemological assumptions, conservation biology faces obstacles in the incorporation of wisdom originating in local ecological knowledge, that which a local population has gained about the local environment which it is surrounded by and due to its direct contact with this local environment, instead of the result of a product of a positivist scientific inquiry. …”

A Grammar-Based Semantic Similarity Algorithm for Natural Language Sentences by Ming Che Lee, Jia Wei Chang, Tung Cheng Hsieh

“…Traditional information retrieval approaches, such as vector models, LSA, HAL, or even the ontology-based approaches that extend to include concept similarity comparison instead of cooccurrence terms/words, may not always determine the perfect matching while there is no obvious relation or concept overlap between two natural language sentences. …”

Highly Selective Synthesis of Chlorophenols under Microwave Irradiation by Yawen Xiong, Hongdong Duan, Xia Meng, Zhaoyun Ding, Weichun Feng

“…These reactions adopt copper(II) chloride (CuCl2) as the catalyst and hydrochloric acid as chlorine source instead of expensive and toxic ones. Oxychlorination of phenols substituted with electron donating groups (methyl, methoxyl, isopropyl, etc.) at ortho- and meta-positions is accomplished with higher conversion rates, lower reaction time, and excellent selectivity. …”

Plasma and BIAS Modeling: Self-Consistent Electrostatic Particle-in-Cell with Low-Density Argon Plasma for TiC by Jürgen Geiser, Sven Blankenburg

“…Due to relatively low plasma densities, continuum fluid equations are not applicable. We propose instead a Particle-in-cell (PIC) method, which allows the study of plasma behavior by computing the trajectories of finite-size particles under the action of an external and self-consistent electric field defined in a grid of points.…”

Synthesis and Reactions of Five-Membered Heterocycles Using Phase Transfer Catalyst (PTC) Techniques by Ahmed M. El-Sayed, Omyma A. Abd Allah, Ahmed M. M. El-Saghier, Shaaban K. Mohamed

“…They are known to accelerate reaction rates by facilitating formation of interphase transfer of species and making reactions between reagents in two immiscible phases possible. Application of PTC instead of traditional technologies for industrial processes of organic synthesis provides substantial benefits for the environment. …”
