This study examines the kinetics of selective catalytic oxidation of ammonia to nitrogen over a bimetallic copper-cerium nanoparticle catalyst in a tubular fixed-bed reactor. Transmission electron microscopy results showed that the catalyst containing copper and cerium is well dispersed and presents in the form of nano-sized particles. The formation of CuO/CeO2 active sites was confirmed by Fou...

Lighting practitioners and laypeople alike believe that the quality of the luminous environment can influence task performance, comfort, and well-being. There is mounting concern that the quality of the lit environment will decline in parallel to lighting energy use as energy codes and standards come into effect; however, there is no consensus about what constitutes good lighting quality. Broad...

As someone who works interdisciplinarily between media and communication studies sociology with an overall interest in critical social theory, Habermas’ “most successful” (Habermas, 2022a, p. 145) book is important at least three respects: He develops a normative, concept of the public sphere formation opinion, which aims democratizing domination, that ties it to process unrestricted discussion...

While previous studies suggest that the recognition of misoriented objects may be orientation-dependent, or orientation-invariant, the functional independence of the mechanisms underlying these contrasting patterns of data remains unclear. In particular, it has been widely reported that orientation-invariant performance only emerges following spatial normalisation of misoriented objects on earl...

In the established landscape of research in social sciences, populism is seen as a type politics that chiefly revolves around distinction between “people” and “elite”.1 Within this, different forms can be distinguished—ranging from right-wing authoritarian to liberal-centrist religious varieties. camp political left, often cast essentially democratic endeavor. Drawing on conception inclusive pe...

Obviously, many of developments explore are global ones, albeit course local contingent variations. Resurgent forms authoritarian nationalism, for example, currently key to governing regimes in countries as diverse Brazil, China, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Russia, Turkey. Righ...

The obvious importance to human social functioning of prosocial behavior (behavior intended to benefit others) has led to extensive research on the sources of individual differences in prosociality, empathy, helping, cooperation, and altruism. At the species level, this markedly human trait has been explained in genetic terms. At the individual level, however, only about a dozen studies have di...

The prospect of replication of human beings through genetic manipulation has engendered one of the most controversial debates about reproduction in our society. Ideology is clearly influencing the direction of research and legislation on human cloning, which may present one of the greatest existential challenges to the meaning of creation. In this article, I argue that, in view of the possibili...
