This essay gives my personal perspective of the current stage computational methods applied to modeling organometallic catalysis, as well new directions field is taking. The first part deals with what I consider state-of-the-art build up energy profiles, regarding both chemical and models. With a proper choice model methods, quantum mechanical calculations are nowadays able provide accurate pro...

Large subduction earthquakes on the Cascadia subduction zone pose a potential seismic hazard. Very young oceanic lithosphere (10 million years old) is being subducted beneath North America at a rate of approximately 4 centimeters per year. The Cascadia subduction zone shares many characteristics with subduction zones in southern Chile, southwestern Japan, and Colombia, where comparably young oc...

In this paper a review of recent studies made to understand the capability to detect and reconstruct strongly interacting squarks and gluinos with the CMS detector is presented. The detection of these sparticles relies on the observation of an excess of events over Standard Model background expectations. The results for inclusive searches of squarks and gluinos are presented as 5σ discovery con...
