Phenyl-T may be prepared from octakis(phenylsilsesquioxane), and a search of the literature for similar siloxane cage compounds, where some of the oxygen was replaced by methylene bridges, led us to the work of Wang et al. and Clarke. These workers claimed to have isolated a cage compound of structure(IVa) in very high yield(...) 2, record 1, English, - cage%20compound

[Composé d'inclusion ou complexe d'inclusion], complexe dont l'un des composants (l'hôte) forme un réseau cristallin définissant des espaces en forme de longs tunnels ou de canaux dans lesquels sont logés les entités moléculaires d'une seconde espèce chimique (l'invité). Puisque l'attraction entre les espèces est due à des forces de van der Waals, il n'y a pas de liaisons entre l'hôte et l'invité. Si les cavités du cristal sont fermées de tous les côtés, l'espèce incluse est «piégée», comme dans une cage, et les composés obtenus sont désignés par les termes «clathrates» ou «composés cages». 1, record 1, French, - compos%C3%A9%20cage

Anaerobic processes can be run to produce useful quantities of methane. For purposes of comparison, the figures relating to the treatment of a waste containing 1kg glucose have been given... as 0. 7 kWh for oxygen transfer with 4. 4 kWh of liberated energy dissipated. By anaerobic fermentation, the same kilogramme of glucose could yield gas with a calorific value of 3. 7 kWh. 3, record 2, English, - anaerobic%20fermentation

Pyrolysis, also termed thermolysis(Greek : pur=fire; thermos=warm; luo=loosen), is a process of chemical and thermal decomposition, generally leading to smaller molecules. Semantically, the term thermolysis is more appropriate than pyrolysis, since fire implies the presence of oxygen and hence of reactive and oxygen-bearing intermediates. In most pyrolysis processes, however, air is excluded, for reasons of safety, product quality, and yield. 3, record 3, English, - thermolysis

Un des procédés de thermolyse consiste en une pyrolyse suivie d'une gazéification en atmosphère oxydante.
