Ionization energies (IEs) of organic compounds come in different forms-adiabatic, vertical, as electrode potentials, or as orbital eigenvalues Koopmans' theorem. They have been linked to the reactivity towards electrophiles and have been used to quantitatively describe electron transfer processes. The prediction of IEs is only meaningful when an estimate of the prediction's uncertainty is included.

Foldamers, small synthetic peptides made of and -amino acids, have been found to be efficient catalysts for carbon-carbon bond-forming aldol reactions; of particular interest is their ability to catalyze macrocycle ring closure reactions. These catalysts feature a pair of amine groups that are aligned by the helical conformation and act in concert. Kinetic measurements show that the rate of the reaction depends on the identity of the amine side chains present.

A closed-loop pulsating heat pipe (CLPHP) is an attractive passive cooling system for electronic components. The design of CLPHP is challenging due to the complex nature of thermo-hydrodynamic coupling. This study investigates the heat transfer efficiency of a CLPHP using water as the working fluid.

Wildland fires and windthrows represent relevant disturbances for forest ecosystems worldwide. In this context, especially for Italian catchments, the interaction between windthrows and changes in wildfire behaviour starting from ALS data processing is scarcely investigated. Therefore, this research aims to compute a multi-temporal analysis of the interaction between windthrows and wildfire behaviour in a forested area (Veneto region, northern Italy), recently affected by the renamed Vaia windstorm.
