A combined experimental and computational investigation on the OH radical and Cl atom-initiated reaction of 2,3-dichloropropene in troposphere.

Temperature-dependent kinetics of OH radical and Cl atom-initiated reaction of an important halogenated alkene, 2,3-Dichloropropene (23DCP), were investigated using absolute and relative methods over 278-363 K. Pulsed laser photolysis - laser induced fluorescence technique and relative rate method using gas chromatography with flame ionization detector were employed for studying the kinetics of 23DCP with OH radical and Cl atom, respectively. The obtained Arrhenius expressions were k(expt)=(4.

Non-Bilaterians as Model Systems for Tissue Mechanics.

In animals, epithelial tissues are barriers against the external environment, providing protection against biological, chemical, and physical damage. Depending on the organism's physiology and behavior, these tissues encounter different types of mechanical forces and need to provide a suitable adaptive response to ensure success. Therefore, understanding tissue mechanics in different contexts is an important research area.
