Heterometallic multinuclear nodes directing MOF electronic behavior

MOF-based electronic and opto-electronic devices.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a class of hybrid materials with unique optical and electronic properties arising from rational self-assembly of the organic linkers and metal ions/clusters, yielding myriads of possible structural motifs. The combination of order and chemical tunability, coupled with good environmental stability of MOFs, are prompting many research groups to explore the poss...

Structural and electronic properties of MOF-74

A sixfold interpenetrated microporous MOF constructed from heterometallic tetranuclear cluster exhibiting selective gas adsorption.

A sixfold interpenetrated microporous MOF has been constructed from a heterometallic tetranuclear cluster. The framework contains two types of 1D micro-channels along different directions. Moreover, this compound exhibits high selective gas sorption for H(2) over N(2).

Agent-Based Emotional Architecture for Directing the Adaptive Robot Behavior

The paper describes a work in progress for modeling an emotion-based autonomous robot controller designed to coordinate the interaction with the environment. The robot courses of actions are conceptualized as consequences of collaborative multi-agent fuzzy decision making processes.

The endocannabinoid system: directing eating behavior and macronutrient metabolism

For many years, the brain has been the primary focus for research on eating behavior. More recently, the discovery of the endocannabinoids (EC) and the endocannabinoid system (ECS), as well as the characterization of its actions on appetite and metabolism, has provided greater insight on the brain and food intake. The purpose of this review is to explain the actions of EC in the brain and other...
