Treatment of 1-bromo-2,3,4,5-tetraethylalumole (1) with 3-hexyne afforded the corresponding product 1-bromo-1-alumacyclonona-2,4,6,8-tetraene (2), accompanied by the formation of hexaethylbenzene. In ...the crystalline state, 2 forms a Br-bridged dimer with a pseudo C2-symmetric and twisted AlC8 nine-membered ring. Deuterium-labeling experiments and DFT calculations on the reaction of 1 with 3-hexyne suggested that 1-bromo-1-alumacyclohepta-2,4,6-triene, which is formed by the insertion of one molecule of 1-hexyne into the AlC bond of alumole 1, is the key intermediate for the generation of 2 as well as hexaethylbenzene.
This book challenges the widely held myth that the American national state was weak in the early days of the republic. William H. Bergmann reveals how the federal government used its fiscal and ...military powers, as well as bureaucratic authority, to enhance land acquisitions, promote infrastructure development and facilitate commerce and communication in the early trans-Appalachian West. Energetic federal state-building efforts prior to 1815 grew from national state security interests as Native Americans and British imperial designs threatened to unravel the republic. White Westerners and Western state governments partnered with the federal government to encourage commercial growth and emigration, to transform the borderland into a bordered land. Taking a regional approach, this work synthesizes the literatures of social history, political science and economic history to provide a new narrative of American expansionism, one that takes into account the unique historical circumstances in the Ohio Valley and the southern Great Lakes.
In the late nineteenth century the borderlands between the United States, the British Empire in Canada, and the Asia-Pacific Rim emerged as a crossroads of the Pacific world. In Pacific Connections, ...Kornel Chang tells the dramatic stories of the laborers, merchants, smugglers, and activists who crossed these borders into the twentieth century, and the American and British empire-builders who countered them by hardening racial and national lines. But even as settler societies attempted to control the processes of imperial integration, their project fractured under its contradictions. Migrant workers and radical activists pursued a transnational politics through the very networks that made empire possible. Charting the U.S.-Canadian borderlands from above and below, Chang reveals the messiness of imperial formation and the struggles it spawned from multiple locations and through different actors across the Pacific world. Pacific Connections is the winner of the Outstanding Book in History award from the Association for Asian American Studies and is a finalist for the John Hope Franklin Book Prize from the American Studies Association.
Patterns of Empire comprehensively examines the two most powerful empires in modern history: the United States and Britain. Challenging the popular theory that the American empire is unique, Patterns ...of Empire shows how the policies, practices, forms and historical dynamics of the American empire repeat those of the British, leading up to the present climate of economic decline, treacherous intervention in the Middle East and overextended imperial confidence. A critical exercise in revisionist history and comparative social science, this book also offers a challenging theory of empire that recognizes the agency of non-Western peoples, the impact of global fields and the limits of imperial power.

HintergrundExpansive Verhaltensstörungen stellen ein häufiges Problem dar und gehen mit erheblichen Beeinträchtigungen und hohen gesellschaftlichen Kosten einher.MethodeDurch die Einführung eines ...mehrstufigen und multimodalen Konzepts, welches evidenzbasierte Maßnahmen an die individuellen Bedarfe der jeweiligen Schülerinnen und Schüler (SuS) anpasst, können Schulen zur Prävention von expansivem Verhalten beitragen. Der Ansatz des „schoolwide positive behavior supports“ (SW-PBS) stellt ein solches Präventionskonzept dar.ErgebnisseIm vorliegenden Beitrag stellen wir die konkrete Konzeption des SW-PBS zur Prävention expansiven Problemverhaltens für die Grundschule sowie das begleitende Evaluationskonzept vor.
How American westward expansion was governmentally engineered to promote the formation of a white settler nation
Westward expansion of the United States is most conventionally remembered for rugged ...individualism, geographic isolationism, and a fair amount of luck. Yet the establishment of the forty-eight contiguous states was hardly a foregone conclusion, and the federal government played a critical role in its success. This book examines the politics of American expansion, showing how the government's regulation of population movements on the frontier, both settlement and removal, advanced national aspirations for empire and promoted the formation of a white settler nation.
Building an American Empiredetails how a government that struggled to exercise plenary power used federal land policy to assert authority over the direction of expansion by engineering the pace and patterns of settlement and to control the movement of populations. At times, the government mobilized populations for compact settlement in strategically important areas of the frontier; at other times, policies were designed to actively restrain settler populations in order to prevent violence, international conflict, and breakaway states. Paul Frymer examines how these settlement patterns helped construct a dominant racial vision for America by incentivizing and directing the movement of white European settlers onto indigenous and diversely populated lands. These efforts were hardly seamless, and Frymer pays close attention to the failures as well, from the lack of further expansion into Latin America to the defeat of the black colonization movement.
Building an American Empirereveals the lasting and profound significance government settlement policies had for the nation, both for establishing America as dominantly white and for restricting broader aspirations for empire in lands that could not be so racially engineered.
This brief addresses computing polynomials with all positive coefficients whose sum is less than or equal to one using unipolar stochastic logic. The contributions of this brief are twofold. First, ...we present novel approaches to expanding polynomials that can be implemented using multiplexers in unipolar stochastic logic. These expansions are based on ascending-order, and Horner's rule based on descending-order. It is shown that the Horner's rule expansion is equivalent to OR-AND expansion. We also present another new expansion, referred as AND-OR. These expansions have not been presented in any prior work. Second, we also show that the proposed AND-OR expansion is logically equivalent to the prior double-NAND expansion. Furthermore, we show that the OR-AND circuits can be transformed into equivalent double-NOR circuits.
This study presents a flexible, reliable, and renewable power system resource planning approach to coordinate generation, transmission, and energy storage (ES) expansion planning in the presence of ...demand response (DR). The flexibility and reliability of the optimal resource expansion planning are ensured by means of appropriate constraints incorporated into the proposed planning tool where thermal generation units, ES systems, and DR programs are considered as flexibility resources. The proposed planning tool is a mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem due to the non-linear and non-convex constraints of AC power flow equations. Accordingly, to linearise the proposed MINLP problem, the AC nodal power balance constraints are linearised by means of the first-order expansion of Taylor's series and the line flow equations are linearised by means of a polygon. Additionally, the stochastic programming is used to characterise the uncertainty of loads, a maximum available power of wind farms, forecasted energy price, and availability/unavailability of generation units and transmission lines by means of a sufficient number of scenarios. The proposed planning tool is implemented on the IEEE 6-bus and the IEEE 30-bus test systems under different conditions. Case studies illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach based on both flexibility and reliability criteria.
