Technology transfer by stock exchanges
Article Abstract:
Technology transfers occurring through takeovers and mergers are becoming more common and so stock exchanges need technical experts to accurately value the transaction. The economic value of a technically based company that is the target of an acquisition attempt must consider not only assets but also the economic benefits afforded to the purchasing company through technology acquired. A better public understanding of the sciences would improve both investments and investment advice through better information.

Solvent-assisted proton transfer in catalysis by zeolite solid acids
Article Abstract:
Charged products in intermolecular proton transfer in the gas phase are usually highly unstable. However transfer in aqueous solution is promoted, due to the high dielectric constant of water, which enables efficient stabilization. An experiment shows that zeolites can be induced to show solution-like proton-transfer behaviour, with the co-injection of nitromethane into a catalytic flow reactor. This enhanced methanol, isopropanol and acetone conversion over the zeolite catalyst HZSM-5.

Resonant intermolecular transfer of vibrational energy in liquid water
Article Abstract:
Polarization-resolved vibrational pump-probe spectroscopy was used to study liquid H20 and solutions of HDO in D20, to investigate the occurrence of resonant intermolecular energy transfer in liquid water. The measurements revealed the occurrence of fast resonant intermolecular transfer of OH-stretch excitations, and the transfer process was found to be mediated by dipole-dipole interactions.
