PRODUCING ENVIRONMENTALLY ENVIRONMENTAL PAPER PRODUCTS FROM INDUSTRIAL HEMP
Authors: Karelina Alexandra , Alashkevich Yuri , Kozhukhov Victor
Published: November 2023

Industrial hemp as a raw material for pulp and paper production has a number of advantages. One advantage is that hemp produces a high fiber yield per hectare of crop area compared to traditional sources such as wood. In addition, hemp fibers are stronger and more durable than wood fibers, resulting in higher quality paper products. Hemp is also a fast-growing crop that can be grown at a lower cost and with less environmental impact than traditional wood raw materials
Finland: Identities on the periphery
Authors: Voronova Anita
Published: November 2023

The troubled histories of nations are built from the bones of a million damaged children. But what about the nations and children who are stuck in the periphery between troubled and happy, between damaged and healthy? These are the settings that anthropology can thrive in: nations that have both suffered and benefited from colonialism, oppressed groups discriminating against others, and other ambiguous cultural dynamics. In this paper, I want to focus on Finland as a specific nation that serves as a good example of how collective trauma and ambiguous histories can be contested. These contestations are most commonly expressed through minute inequalities between the two main cultural groups in Finland: Finnish and Swedish-speaking Finns. Modern inequalities between different cultural and linguistic groups in and around Finland are expressed through stereotypes and expressions of identity. These stereotypes and identities are often mixed with ambivalent feelings, especially in regard to Finns' relationship with Sweden: the state and people, both historically and in the present. These relationships are based on the hegemonic and non-hegemonic views that Finnish speakers, Fennoswedes, and Swedes hold of each other. Hegemonically, quiet admiration and casual disapproval are common, hence the ambiguity. Non-hegemonically, extreme emotions and fixations are commonly perceived as strange and distasteful; everything must be just right, or lagom in Swedish. In this paper, I focus the discussion on Finnish issues of cultural and linguistic identity while keeping their relationship with the Swedish state and people in mind. Hence, my goal is to answer these questions: How has discrimination shaped Finnish identities? Has it shaped Finnish-speaking versus Swedish-speaking Finnish identities differently? How does a collective memory of oppression affect Finnish peoples' perceptions of others? However, what I ultimately want to answer is what is the source of Finland’s ambiguous historical identity: were Finns victims of ethnic discrimination or is this a narrative produced by historical revisionism?

The tangible negative sides of small vessels with outboard outboard motors include high fuel consumption in relation to the generated power, as well as their low environmental characteristics, expressed in harmful emissions, harmful discharges. When assessing the impact of the impact of the entire world fleet on the environment, small-sized small vessels should not be neglected because of their massive prevalence. Experimental data aimed at improving the environmental characteristics of an outboard outboard motor by reducing harmful emissions by injecting water in the fine-dispersion phase into the suction manifold of the engine are considered. The environmental characteristics of water supply to the intake manifold of a four-stroke outboard outboard motor are analyzed; regulatory and technical doc-umentation concerning the limitation of harmful emissions on small vessels with outboard outboard motors is investi-gated; the existing methods of water supply to the intake manifold of four-stroke engines are considered and a patent search is conducted. A device generating a fine-dispersed fog-like cloud was installed on the outboard motor engine, an experimental assessment of the content of harmful emissions in exhaust gases was carried out in terms of components such as carbon monoxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides when water is supplied to the intake manifold of a four-stroke outboard motor by laboratory measurements in a small experimental pool and outdoors. The content of harmful emissions in exhaust gases is estimated when water is supplied to the intake manifold of a four-stroke outboard motor. The ecological effect of installing a water supply device into the intake manifold of a four-stroke outboard outboard motor is analyzed. A four-stroke outboard outboard motor with a capacity of 4 hp and a change in its environmental characteristics when water is injected into the cylinder are investigated.
Results of studies of higher harmonics during the operation of ship frequency-controlled asynchronous electric drives

Published: November 2023

One of the directions of scientific and technological progress at sea-based facilities is the use of electrical technologies based on nonlinear elements. It is revealed that the use of such technologies leads to a deterioration in the quality of electricity, mainly due to higher harmonic. The results of theoretical and experimental studies of the higher harmonic components of voltage and current occurring during the operation of ship frequency-controlled asynchronous electric drives are presented. During operation of a frequency-controlled electric drive high current harmonics of mainly 5, 7, 11, 13 orders are emitted into the power supply network, which is due to the presence of a six-phase rectifier. This leads to distortion of the sinusoid of the supply voltage, since the higher harmonic components of the current, propagating through the electrical network, create corresponding voltage drops on its elements. Along with the main harmonic of the voltage of a given frequency, the higher harmonic components of the voltage flow from the autonomous voltage inverter to the stator winding of the asynchronous electric motor, which causes the higher current harmonics and torques of the forward and reverse current sequences in the stator and rotor windings. As a result additional heating of the stator and rotor windings occurs and vibrations of the asynchronous motor shaft at frequencies of 300 and 600 Hz occur. A method for measuring the vibration of a frequency-controlled asynchronous electric drive from the interaction of the moments of the reverse and forward sequences has been developed and experimentally confirmed. A method for calculating the intrinsic frequency of oscillations of the asynchronous motor-load machine system is proposed, confirmed by the example of a laboratory installation. To accurately calculate the natural frequency of the oscillatory system, it is necessary to experimentally measure the moments of inertia of the rotor of an asynchronous motor and the armature of a DC motor.
Model of information and measuring control system of centrifugal cargo pump on a chemical tanker of the Ivan Poddubny type
Authors: Bordyug Alexander Sergeevich
Published: November 2023

On chemical tankers, the main cargo devices are pumps, so it is necessary to constantly monitor their operating conditions and performance indicators during operation. The article discusses modeling using MATLAB/Simulink software of a single-stage horizontal centrifugal pump, which can be used to create an information-measuring system for monitoring the performance of cargo pumps using the example of a chemical tanker of the Ivan Poddubny type. An analysis of the modeling results is carried out, including an assessment of pump efficiency, pressure loss and other indicators in various operating modes. The results allow us to draw conclusions about the operation of the pump under various loads and variable conditions. The simulated pump worked with seven different liquids pumped in chemical tankers: ethyl alcohol, N-propyl alcohol, phenol, chloroform, castor oil, 55% nitric acid and water. After this, a neural network was created using the MATLAB/Neural Network Fitting Tool application. The input data of the network were volumetric flow, pressure, shaft power, torque and suction pressure. The output value was the pump efficiency, the value of which was estimated for each fluid. The root mean square error of approximation was very close to zero. According to these results, the artificial neural network showed satisfactory results for predicting the efficiency of the centrifugal cargo pump of the Ivan Poddubny type chemical tanker; therefore, it can be used in ship information and measurement systems. Overall, this paper represents a valuable research contribution to the field of modeling horizontal centrifugal pumps using Simulink that can be useful to engineers and researchers involved in the design and optimization of these pumps.

The research was a normative one through the prevailing laws and regulations. Also, the separated state assets will be the wealth of state-owned enterprises, so the loss belongs solely to the state-owned enterprises
ICT-Based Lombok Disaster Management Communication Model in Indonesian
Authors: Nurjanah Adhianty
Published: November 2023

When a natural disaster occurs, information and communication technology (ICT)-based disaster communication must be carried out, especially from the government to the affected community. The needs for information on the location and the number of victims and data collection on their needs are highly required to ease officers and volunteers to assist disaster victims. When an earthquake occurred on July 29, 2018, the community was in a state of panic, anxiety, and fear, making it prone to the confusion of information, resulting in slow disaster management. This study aims to determine the communication model of Lombok earthquake disaster management based on ICT carried out by the Public Relations of the North Lombok Regency Government to the people of Gangga Village, North Lombok. This research utilized a descriptive qualitative method by conducting in-depth interviews with the Public Relations of the North Lombok Regency Government, the people of Gangga Village, North Lombok Regency, and the North Lombok Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD). The results disclosed that the ICT-based disaster communication model during the July 29, 2018 earthquake integrated related Regional Work Units (SKPDs), such as the Public Relations, BPBD, Public Works Service, and Health Service through Handy Talky (HT), Hand Phone (HP), websites, and social media. The North Lombok Regency Government also explicitly coordinated with the Ministry of Communication and Information, who asked the NTB Regional Frequency Spectrum Monitoring Center to continuously coordinate with telecommunications operators, ORARI, and RAPI in NTB to ensure excellent telecommunications services for the community

Published: November 2023

Abstract: Tarlingmusic, which evolved from classical to modern, is deeply connected to the digital era. The changing music ecosystem is viewed not only historically, but also through the various change phenomena that occur. The ecological role of producer agents, managers, and singers in the digitalization arena, where tarlingmusic has historically faced two phases: classical (analog) and modern (digital). This study used a qualitative method with a case study approach from an ecomusicological perspective. As a result, this study discovers a socio-musical phenomenon that holistically divides the tarlingmusic ecosystem based on periodization and the roles of agents in the music industry, including production, distribution, and consumption sub-areas. Producer agencies, managers, and singers are navigating a new digitalization ecosystem that is influencing how they present tarlings in digital files and market them through paid platforms. Agents must also deal with a wide range of fans via social media live.

Digitalization and skills in Spain: regional differences and gender gaps
Authors: Rodríguez-Pasquín Myriam , García-Luque Olga , López-Martínez María
Published: November 2023

Digital skills are increasingly necessary. When their level is unequal, problems of exclusion can arise in the regional and gender spheres. This paper analyzes both types of digital divides in Spain and their recent evolution. The indicator used is IRIS-DESI and its five dimensions: Connectivity, Human capital, Internet use, Integration of digital technology in companies and Digital public services. Using a hierarchical cluster analysis, the Spanish regions are classified according to their digital development. However, considering the gender gap, no clear regional pattern has been found, possibly due to the very complex and multifaceted nature of the digital economy.

OBJECTIVE

Anal glands have been identified in a variety of terrestrial and aquatic mammalian species, but there are few accounts describing their presence in cetaceans. To our knowledge, this report describes the first documented case of a pre-anal gland abscess in an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus).

ANIMAL

A 9-year-old male bottlenose dolphin (T truncatus) part of the US Navy Marine Mammal Program in San Diego Bay, California.

CLINICAL PRESENTATION, PROGRESSION, AND PROCEDURES

The patient presented for a 3-day history of lethargy, failure to perform voluntary behaviors, and an elevated respiratory rate. Complete blood count and serum biochemistry results showed an inflammatory hemogram. Physical examination revealed a 4-cm circular swelling at the right pre-anal gland pore. The swelling was warm and erythematous, with multifocal pinpoint ulcerations. An abscess of the pre-anal gland was diagnosed using cytology, culture, and ultrasound.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME

Treatment included systemic oral antibiotic and antifungal therapy, along with daily lavage and warm compress of the gland. Treatment was successful, and the abscess resolved.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

This case provides insight into a previously unreported disease process in bottlenose dolphins and encourages veterinarians to evaluate the pre-anal gland during routine physical examinations and complete further work-up if swelling or clinical signs associated with this region are present.
Effective pre-qualification systems – Are they essential for minimising delays on road projects?
Authors: Kapote Mangesh , Patil Pratik , Pimplikar Sunil
Published: November 2023

The most significant and pivotal advance in each construction project is to choose the right contractor which is normally done by a pre-qualification system. Pre-qualification of contractor is a course of gathering data and evaluation that decides the contractor’s capacity as far as considering assets accessible, management processes and execution information. However, the current prequalification system witnesses many limitations such as contractor selection (CS) based on L1 bidder concept which may compromise with time, cost and quality of project; non-usage of a quantified mathematical model or software for selection of most competent contractor might as well compromise the system. The objective of this paper was to highlight the need of strengthening the existing pre-qualification system used in Indian roads and highway projects. To achieve the above stated objective of the research, the project-specific data were collected from 25 different road and highway projects. The analysis of the collected data showed that there was negative impact in terms of time and cost requirements, which was observed in all the projects even if the contractor was selected using the prequalification system. The main reasons identified for the delays and cost overruns were land acquisition issues, suspension of work during monsoon season and maintenance work of bitumen refineries, claims and disputes between contractor and clients, inefficiency of contractors while dealing with scope change, etc.

Published: November 2023

Evidence suggests that treatment-resistant depression (TRD), defined as the occurrence of an insufficient clinical response after adequate antidepressant therapy among patients diagnosed with major depression, is one of the most important public health problems and is associated with significant disability and psychosocial impairment. Here we present a case of depression resistance to the treatment of a 22-year-old man and the effects of Memantine augmentation. The first symptoms of depression appeared in January 2019, and pharmacotherapeutic treatment began in March of the same year. He was in a bad mood, sad, hopeless, tense, lacked energy, lost interest, and decreased libido. During his twoyear pharmacotherapeutic therapy, he took SSRIs, SNRIs, TeCAs, SARIs, atypical antipsychotics with antidepressant effects, such as aripiprazole and cariprazine. Since the patient still did not have adequate therapeutic response and new drugs were available, the choice fell on Memantine after researching several databases and collecting the data listed at the beginning of the article. The initial dose was 5 mg daily and was gradually increased by 5 mg each week to a maximum of 20 mg. After 2 weeks at a stable dose, the patient reported feeling a little better. Significant improvement in symptoms was observed in the MADRS score, which was then applied to assess the effects of augmentation. After four weeks of therapy, he entered remission which is still ongoing.

Published: November 2023

The growing number of battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) brings the need of more fast charging stations across cities and highway stops. This charging stations toned to be connected to the electrical grid via existent facilities, causing constraints such as power availability.

This study brings an approach for the planning and operation of such energy hubs by coping with this challenge by deploying a Battery-based Energy Storage System (BESS). With the BESS integration, it is expected to minimize utilization and overall energy costs, preventing infrastructure upgrades, and enhancing the integration of renewable energy resources.

This approach sizes a stationary energy storage system with lithium-ion technology batteries through a co-optimization of the planning and operation stages, integrated in an electrical installation that will implement fast charging stations. This sizing is a result of an optimization based on the interior point algorithm, where the objective is to minimize the costs of maintenance, operation, and installation of a BESS, while properly modelling the different resources such as the BESS, the charging station and EV charging and PV generation.

Published: November 2023

The drilling process of composite materials, such as the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), constitutes a challenging task due to their inhomogeneous and anisotropic characteristics, besides the highly abrasive wear behaviour of their fibers. Accordingly, machining parameters should be carefully studied to optimize the process, leading to a better surface quality (avoiding defects in the CFRP) and to a lower wear behaviour of the cutting tool. This study proposed to test the drilling of a CFRP with a thermoplastic matrix using two different tool geometries (conventional and double-point angle drill) and varying two parameters, feed (f) and spindle speed (n), each one with two levels. It was concluded that the double-point angle drill with lower spindle speeds generates lower thrust force and torque values, as well as better hole quality. Higher spindle speeds combined with lower feeds result in fractured chips, in contrast with continuous chips for the other combinations.

Oil and Gas Sector of the People’s Republic of China: Problems and Development Trends
Authors: Aseeva S. L.
Published: November 2023

Through vigorous economic development in recent decades, China has become one of the world’s leading economies and a major player in the international arena. The strengthening economic potential has caused a significant increase in the demand for energy resources. Therefore, the need for an effective energy policy has also increased. The PRC uses fossil energy resources such as coal, oil and natural gas as its main energy sources. Fossil energy sources are currently important for maintaining the country’s energy balance. Moreover, one of the important objectives of energy policy is to reduce the environmental risks associated with the overuse of the coal industry. The coal industry poses a serious threat to the environment, as emissions of biogenic methane and carbon dioxide from fuel combustion lead to a greenhouse effect. In this regard, China is actively developing alternative energy sources that will be beneficial for this period of economic development, namely the oil and gas industry. Oil and gas are among the main sources of energy in the PRC today. China currently occupies an important position in the global oil and gas market, having a significant impact on prices in these sectors. Every year, the country purchases significant amounts of oil and gas from global markets and uses them in various sectors of the economy, including manufacturing, transport and energy. In addition, China is actively developing oil and gas infrastructure and investing in exploration and production activities to meet its own energy needs. In this regard, the article studies the oil and gas industry of the PRC, considers the main indicators of oil and gas production, imports and consumption, and analyses the existing development trends and problems of this industry.
Personzentriert sein – revidieren oder aktualisieren?

Im Jubiläumsheft 20 Jahre PERSON erschien an erster Stelle der Artikel Personzentriert sein – Sieben Herausforderungen der Zukunft. In diesem Artikel werden einige Trends der letzten beiden Jahrzehnte innerhalb des Personzentrierten Ansatzes und der Gesprächspsychotherapie thematisiert, um hieraus eine mögliche Weiterentwicklung aufzuzeigen. Dabei handelt es sich an einzelnen Punkten eher um einen Rollback des Ansatzes hinter Rogers zurück als um eine Aufarbeitung, Überprüfung und Differenzierung bisheriger Positionen. Vom humanistisch und phänomenologisch geprägten Theorie- und Therapieverständnis scheint schließlich nicht viel mehr übrig zu bleiben, als das, was andere Ansätze (z.

Background: The advantages of laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) have increased its use for the treatment of benign liver tumors (BLTs). Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing LLR with those operated on with open liver resection (OLR) for BLTs using propensity score matching (PSM). Material and methods: We conducted a descriptive and retrospective study comparing OLRs with LLRs performed between August 2010 and June 2021. The demographic, perioperative, intraoperative and postoperative variables were analyzed. We used PSM with 1:1 matching to avoid biases of the different covariates between the groups. Results: Of 303 liver resections, 82 corresponded to BLTs and were included in the analysis; 36 (44%) were OLRs and 46 (56%) were LLRs. Mean age was 45 ±14 years and 65% were women. After PSM, two groups of 28 patients each were constituted. Five patients (18%) in the OLR group and none in the LLR required transfusions (p = 0.01). Major complications, occurred in 4 (14%) patients in the OLR group and in no cases in the LLR group (p = 0.03). Four (14%) undergoing OLR required reoperation versus no patients with LLR (p = 0.03). Total length of hospital stay was significantly longer in OLR (p = 0.04). There were no deaths in any of the groups within 90 days. Conclusion: LLR for BLTs is a safe and effective technique, with lower requirement for transfusions, fewer reoperations and major complications and shorter length of hospital stay than OLR, Therefore, LLR could be considered the surgical technique of choice for BLTs.

Language competency is a complex ability related to four skills at once. Many studies also state that using media in learning can improve language competence. For this reason, the research results should be evaluated to determine whether the study results can be trusted and accounted for statistically. For this reason, this research aims to compile and statistically evaluate the results of an independent study that examines learning media on language competence in elementary school students. The research method used is meta-analysis research. The study search was conducted from 2018 to 2023 in the Google Scholar database. The search results provided 108 studies that met the inclusion requirements for extraction, resulting in 111 data comparisons being examined. Calculate the magnitude of the effect of learning media on language competence in elementary school students using Microsoft Excel.

Suriye İç Savaşı yaklaşık otuz beş milyon Suriyelinin evlerini terk etmesine neden olmuş ve Türkiye coğrafi ve kültürel yakınlığı nedeniyle en çok Suriyeliye ev sahipliği yapan ülkelerden biri olmuştur. Türkiye, 2022 yılı itibariyle yaklaşık 3,6 milyon Suriyeliye ev sahipliği yapmaktadır. Bu Suriyeli mülteciler, geldikleri ilk yıllarda 'misafir' olarak kabul edilip temel ihtiyaçları Türk hükümeti tarafından karşılansa da artık gelir getirici bir işte çalışabilecek kapasiteye ulaşmışlardır. Çoğu hala emek yoğun sektörlerde güvencesiz bir şekilde çalışırken, kendi işini kuranların sayısı da hızla artmıştır. Bu Suriyeli işletmeler, kuruluşlarından bu yana, yeni işler yaratarak ve Suriyeli mültecilere geçim kaynağı sağlayarak Türkiye'deki kapsayıcı ekonomik büyümeye katkıda bulunmakla kalmamış, aynı zamanda entegrasyon süreçlerine de katkıda bulunmuştur. Ancak bu Suriyeli işletmeler, yerel işletmelerin karşılaşmadığı bir dizi sorunla karşı karşıya kalmaktadırlar. Bu bağlamda, bu makale Suriyeli işletmelerin potansiyellerini gerçekleştirmelerini engelleyen sorunları incelemeyi ve bu sorunların üstesinden gelmelerine yardımcı olacak bir model geliştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır.
HandMol: Coupling WebXR, AI and HCI technologies for Immersive, Natural, Collaborative and Inclusive Molecular Modeling

Except for isolated developments and specific software extensions, molecular graphics and modeling have historically been stuck at flat screens for visualization, mouse operations for molecular manipulation, menus and command line interfaces for controls, and single-user interfaces that only allow collaboration by streaming video hence limited to just sharing the view of the user operating the software. We demonstrate here how various technologies are ripe enough to enable much more fluent, immersive and natural human-computer interactions that in turn facilitate collaboration between human users, using affordable hardware through the internet and without even installing any specialized programs. For this, we introduce HandMol, a web app that exploits (i) WebXR for molecular visualization and manipulation in virtual reality, (ii) speech recognition coupled to a large language model to pass commands orally, (iii) speech synthesis for auditory feedback, (iv) WebRTC to communicate multiple instances of the tool without even requiring a server, and (v) external APIs to flexibly account for molecular mechanics, exemplified here with an endpoint running an AMBER forcefield for protein and nucleic acids and another running a DFT-trained neural network, ANI-2x, to allow exploration of conformation and some simple reactivity at high speed and accuracy. We show example applications to situations from daily work and education in chemistry and structural biology where HandMol can provide an advantage over traditional software: exploring and explaining molecular conformations and reactivity, docking and undocking small molecules into/out of protein pockets, threading molecules through nanopores, preparing systems for molecular simulations and for protein design, etc. We also present a brief study showing how users, even with limited or even no experience in VR, can significantly benefit from these kinds of technologies. As a draft prototype for the moment, HandMol is made available free of charge and without registration at https://go.epfl.ch/handmol, in (optional but greatly appreciated) exchange for feedback on usability and on features expected for this kind of tools.

The success of a nanopore experiment relies not only on the quality of the experimental design but also on the performance of the analysis program utilized to decipher the ionic perturbations necessary for understanding the fundamental molecular intricacies. We have developed a data extraction and analysis framework that leverages parallel computing, efficient memory management (minimizing data aggregation), and vectorization, yielding significant performance enhancement. The open-seek-read-close data loading architecture running on multiple cores underpins the swift analysis of large files where an ~ ×18 improvement was found for a 100-minute-long file (~4.5 GB in size) compared to the more traditional single (cell) array data loading method. The proposed application was benchmarked against five other analysis platforms showcasing significant performance enhancement (>×6 to ×1120). The integrated provisions for batch analysis enable concurrently analyzing multiple files, a crucial capability notably absent in most existing analysis platforms. The batch-analysis feature is particularly vital for high-bandwidth experiments, wherein data is distributed across several files rather than consolidated into a single large file. Furthermore, the application is equipped with multi-level data fitting based on abrupt changes in the waveform. The ability to condense the extracted events to a single file improves data portability (e.g., 16 GB file acquired at 200 kHz with 28,182 events reduces to 47.9 MB in size—343× reduction in size) and enable a multitude of post-analysis extraction to be done efficiently. In summary, the utilization of parallel computing, efficient memory management, and vectorized operations have led to a fast analysis platform that delivers significant performance enhancement, making it well-suited for multiple and sizeable nanopore data file analysis.

Published: November 2023

A safe and efficient method for the in-situ preparation of (diazomethyl)dimethylphosphine oxide – a hereto unexplored diazoalkane reagent – is developed. The method is based on the diazotization of the corresponding P(O)Me2-substituted amine (readily available in multigram quantities) in non-aqueous media. The protocol provides the target product as ca. 1.5 M CHCl3 solution which is stable at –18 C. The utility of the synthesized diazoalkane is illustrated by its [3+2] cycloaddition with electron-poor alkynes and alkenes providing the corresponding P(O)Me2-substituted pyrazoles and pyrazolines with moderate to good efficiency. In this view, the title compound represents and an important extension of medicinally relevant phosphine oxide reagents.

Published: November 2023

Benzoxaboraheterocycles (BOBs) are moieties of increasing interest in the pharmaceutical industry; however, the synthesis of these compounds is often difficult or impractical due to the sensitivity of the boron moiety, the requirement for metalation-borylation protocols, and lengthy syntheses. We report a straightforward, modular approach that enables access to complex examples of the rare BOB framework through a Rh-catalyzed [2+2+2]cycloaddition using MIDA-protected alkyne boronic acids. Key to the development of this methodology was overcoming the steric barrier to catalysis by leveraging chelation assistance. We show the utility of the method through synthesis of a broad range of BOB scaffolds, mechanistic information on the chelation effect, intramolecular alcohol-assisted BMIDA hydrolysis, and the linear/cyclic BOB limits, as well as comparative binding affinities for the new BOB frameworks for ribose-derived biomolecules.
