Quantum Field Theory on Affine Bundles (2013)
Journal Article

We develop a general framework for the quantization of bosonic and fermionic field theories on affine bundles over arbitrary globally hyperbolic spacetimes. All concepts and results are formulated using the language of category theory, which allows u... Read More about Quantum Field Theory on Affine Bundles.

What is the extent of potentially avoidable admissions amongst hospital inpatients with palliative care needs? (2013)
Journal Article

Background There is clear evidence that the full range of services required to support people dying at home are far from being implemented, either in England or elsewhere.

A catalytic and tert-butoxide ion-mediated amidation of aldehydes with para-nitro azides (2013)
Journal Article

We report here a new catalytic reaction in which, p-nitro azides are acylated by aldehydes to produce amides and molecular nitrogen in a single step. The transformation is believed to proceed via an electron transfer process mediated by the tert-buto...

External finance and trade credit extension in China: does political affiliation make a difference? (2013)
Journal Article

© 2013 Taylor & Francis. Using a dataset of 65,706 Chinese firms over the period 2000–2007, we show that politically affiliated firms benefit from easier access to short-term external finance and extend more trade credit than their non-affiliated c...

The credibility of the Catholic Church as public actor (2013)
Journal Article

This article assumes that there is a profound crisis of credibility in the Catholic Church today. This is distinct from the issue of the credibility of Christian faith or the credibility of theism, for many who believe, indeed many Catholics, are aff...

Adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics of water-insoluble crosslinked ?-cyclodextrin polymer for phenol in aqueous solution (2013)
Journal Article

A water-insoluble ?-cyclodextrin (?-CD) polymer was synthesized by reacting ?-CD with hexamethyl- ene diisocyanate, and its adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics for phenol from aqueous solution was investi- gated. The kinetics of adsorption followe... Read More about Adsorption kinetics and thermodynamics of water-insoluble crosslinked ?-cyclodextrin polymer for phenol in aqueous solution.
