A catalytic meta-selective C–H functionalization of 2-phenylpyridines using a range of tertiary halides is described. The protocol is simple to perform and uses commercially available reagents to construct challenging quaternary...
John Bossy, who died on 23 October 2015 at the age of 82, had a
long association with Past and Present. He became a member of
the Editorial Board in 1973 and during the course of his career
published a number of seminal articles...

The global nature of e-commerce is complicating privacy issues because perceptions of privacy, trust, risk, and fair information practices vary across cultures, and differences in national regulation create challenges for global...
Abstract: The superconducting properties, melting temperatures and crystal growth rates of single grain, RE–Ba–Cu–O [(RE)BCO] bulk superconductors (where RE = a rare earth element or yttrium) decrease with the RE-element...
Imagine being a 14-year-old kid doing a project for history about a topic you enjoy. My group and I decided to research the history of baseball, but more specifically, the history of the Negro League. A league that solely for...

Investigating, predicting and optimising practical magnetisation techniques for charging bulk superconductors is a crucial prerequisite to their use as high performance ‘psuedo’ permanent magnets. The leading technique for such...

Abstract: The magnitude of the maximum trapped magnetic field in a bulk, single-grain superconductor is a key performance figure of merit. This is determined, generally, by the magnitude of the critical current density, Jc, and...
In his July 1984 interview with Michael Cooke, W. H. Winborne described his work with the Orangeburg Area Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation, the Family Health Center, and the outreach programs related to the foundation. Winborne...
Abstract: Bulk (RE)BCO, where RE is a rare-earth element or yttrium, superconductors fabricated in the form of rings are potentially useful for a variety of solenoidal-type applications, such as small, high field nuclear...

This is the introductory essay to a special issue of the South Atlantic Review focusing on John Gower. Guest editor for this issue is Kara L. McShane with the assistance of R. F. Yeager.
Abstract: Bulk high temperature superconductors (HTS) based on the rare-earth barium cuprates [(RE)BCO] have the potential to be applied in a variety of engineering and technological applications such as trapped field magnets...
The first example of enantioselective S‐H insertion reactions of sulfoxonium ylides is reported. Under the influence of thiourea catalysis, excellent levels of enantiocontrol (up to 95% ee) and yields (up to 97%) are achieved...
Abstract: The widespread use of melt processed, single grain (RE)–Ba–Cu–O bulk superconductors [(RE)BCO], where RE = Y, Gd or Sm, is limited predominantly by the poor mechanical properties of these inherently brittle...
