Complementary X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and Raman spectroscopy studies were conducted on various UCl3concentrations in alkali chloride salt compositions. The samples were 5 mol % UCl3in LiCl (S1), 5 mol % UCl3in KCl (S2), 5 mol % UCl3in LiCl–KCl eutectic (S4), 50 mol % UCl3in KCl (S5), and 20 mol % UCl3in KCl (S6) molar concentrations. Samples were heated to 800 °C and allowed to cool to room temperature with measurements performed at selected temperatures; the highest temperatures showed the most stability and will be primarily referenced for conclusions. The processing and interpretation of the Raman and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) peaks revealed several uranium–oxygen bond lengths and symmetries in the samples before, during, and after heating. Based on published thermodynamic data of similar systems, X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy, and identification of Raman peaks, a β variation of α-U3O8, typical at room temperature, is the suspected dominant phase of all samples at high temperatures (800 °C). In the existing literature, this β structure of U3O8was synthesized by slow cooling of uranium oxides from 1350 °C. This paper suggests the rapid formation of the compound due to the decomposition of the uranium chlorides or oxychlorides at increasing temperatures and O2reaction kinetics.

Der vorliegende Beitrag nimmt die Herausbildung der Konstellation sächsischer Bible beltals Prozess diskursiver Aushandlung zwischen konkurrierenden religiösen Expert*innen und Lai*innenwissensbeständen seit dem 19. Jahrhundert in den Blick. Diese Konstellation wird unter dem Aspekt der Transformationen des Populären und somit als Konfliktgeschichte um Beachtung und Deutungshoheiten seit um 1800 untersucht. Dabei geht es um den Anspruch auf und die Zuschreibung von Expertise und somit um Rollen und Ressourcen, Legitimation und Geltung im Bereich des Religiösen. Es werden drei unterschiedliche Typen des Verhältnisses von Expert*innen und Lai*innenwissensbeständen, die sich in der Sächsischen Landeskirche herausbildeten und mehr oder weniger dauerhaft etablierten, identifiziert: ein komplementärer, ein interferierender und ein konkurrierend-abgrenzender Typ.

Stereotriads bearing allylic alcohols are privileged structures in natural products, and new methods accessing these in a stereoselective fashion are highly sought after. Toward this goal, we found that the use of chiral polyketide fragments allows for performing the Hoppe–Matteson–Aggarwal rearrangement in the absence of sparteine with high yields and diastereoselectivities, rendering this protocol a highly valuable alternative to the Nozaki–Hiyama–Takai–Kishi reaction. The switch of directing groups in most cases resulted in the reversed stereochemical outcome, which could be explained by conformational analysis on density functional theory level and a Felkin-like model.

Although the intertwining of sports and media, especially in soccer and from an organization-centered perspective, has been highlighted in communication research, little attention has been paid to the perception and evaluation of the mediatization of professional tennis. The aim of this study was to close this research gap by presenting the athletes’ perspective. Based on the autobiographies of four top international athletes, we systematized their perceptions of the media before the rise of social media, using a qualitative content analysis. We demonstrate a significant influence of the media system and the perceived media logic: Tennis is closely intertwined with the media, and mediatization processes have strong effects on the players, both positive and negative. Players are aware of the importance of public attention for tennis and actively adapt to the perceived media logic. On the other hand, they often feel inhibited by the press and reject adaptations to media affordances. Our study demonstrates once again the research potential of mediatization as a beneficial concept in studies on sports communication, stresses the need to focus also on the dysfunctional influences of media and mediatization, and opens the path for further research on social media influences.
