(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Anthocyanins with various functions in nature are one of the most important sources of colours in plants. They are based on anthocyanidins or 3-deoxyanthocyanidins having in common a C15-skeleton and are unique in terms ... -
The multivariate physical activity signature associated with metabolic health in children and youth: An International Children's Accelerometry Database (ICAD) analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)There is solid evidence for an association between physical activity and metabolic health outcomes in children and youth, but for methodological reasons most studies describe the intensity spectrum using only a few summary ... -
Ethylene-Triggered Formation of Ruthenium Alkylidene from Decomposed Catalyst
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Ethylene is known to readily decompose ruthenium-based olefin metathesis catalysts, such as Grubbs second-generation catalyst (GII), by forming the unsubstituted ruthenacyclobutane (Ru-2) that may undergo a 1,2-H shift and ... -
