Feature Papers to Celebrate the Landmarks of Catalysts
نویسنده
چکیده
Catalysis is a critical scientific field that underpins much of the world’s chemical industry. For example, it is often quoted that catalysis plays a role in 90% of all industrial chemical products. This importance has led to numerous academic journals and specialized conferences on the subject, as practitioners seek outlets to publish their cutting-edge research on catalysis. Catalysts started in 2011 with the goal of providing an open-source outlet for outstanding research on catalysis. In its first few years, Catalysts has enlisted the help of an active editorial board and hard-working guest editors to establish itself as a high-quality forum for catalysis papers. A primary focus has been to get Catalysts included in the major citation indices in order to provide its authors with the visibility and impact they desire. Recently, that goal was achieved, as Catalysts was selected for inclusion in Scopus and Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE). In addition, Catalysts received its first impact factor in 2015. These are major milestones for the journal, and are worthy of celebration. This issue is being published in recognition of these achievements. It is an opportunity to celebrate Catalysts’ beginnings, and a way to look forward to its future. Nineteen articles from pre-eminent scholars in catalysis have been compiled in this special issue, representing a wide range of topics. This diversity is representative of the field of catalysis in general, as it touches so many areas of scholarship. In this special issue, you can find articles on catalyst synthesis[1–4], modeling of reaction kinetics on catalysts [5], polymerization [6], photocatalysts [7,8], oxidation catalysis [9], biomass conversion [10–14], electrochemistry [15], fuel cell catalysis [16], computational catalysis [17,18], and hydrogen production [19]. Highlights include:

Persian Phone Recognition Using Acoustic Landmarks and Neural Network-based variability compensation methods
Speech recognition is a subfield of artificial intelligence that develops technologies to convert speech utterance into transcription. So far, various methods such as hidden Markov models and artificial neural networks have been used to develop speech recognition systems. In most of these systems, the speech signal frames are processed uniformly, while the information is not evenly distributed ...

Abstract of spoken word recognition is proposed. This model is particularly concerned with extraction of cues from the signal leading to a specification of a word in terms of bundles of distinctive features, which are assumed to be the building blocks of words. In the model proposed, auditory input is chunked into a set of successive time slices. It is assumed that the derivation of the underly...
متن کاملImido-modified SiO2-supported Ti/Mg Ziegler-Natta catalysts for ethylene polymerization and ethylene/1-hexene copolymerization
A novel imido-modified SiO2-supported Ti/Mg Ziegler-Natta catalyst for ethylene and ethylene/1-hexene polymerization is investigated. The catalyst is prepared by modification of (SiO2/MgO/MgCl2)TiClx Ziegler-Natta catalysts via supporting vanadium species followed by reaction with p-tolyl isocyanate as imido agents, to get the merits from both the SiO2-supported imido vanadium catalyst and the ...
متن کاملA theoretical reasoning on why coordination catalysts supported on mesoporous supports produce HDPE crystalline nanofibers but not iPP crystalline nanofibers
Since 1999, when Takuzo Aida proposed the preparation of high density polyethylene (HDPE) crystalline nanofibers through polymerization of ethylene by a Cp2 TiCl2 /MCM-41 catalyst, many researchers have published various papers on different aspects of the idea. The published researches show that the endeavors to polymerize other types of alpha olefins, especially propylene, to obtain polyolefin...
متن کاملEffects of Moving Landmark’s Speed on Multi-Robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping in Dynamic Environments
Even when simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) solutions have been broadly developed, the vast majority of them relate to a single robot performing measurements in static environments. Researches show that the performance of SLAM algorithms deteriorates under dynamic environments. In this paper, a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (MR-SLAM) system is implemented within a...
