1. Introduction 1. Introduction Zirconia is widely used due to its high oxygen diffusivity in various technological applications like gas sensors, fuel cells, catalytic membranes etc. The material shows an excellent thermal stability, combined with very good mechanical properties.

This essay argues that the process of digitization has farreaching implications for the broadcasting field and claims that the most suitable theoretical framework to comprehend the full scope of these changes is provided by Ulrich Beck’s theories on risk society. Despite predictable developments, digitization increases the sources of uncertainties and the level of risks for the expanding number...

Regional convergence depends on the ability to adopt advanced technology. This ability can be reflected on the resources devoted to science and technology. An empirical examination of this proposition suggests that technology adoption has a significant effect in regional convergence in Europe. The empirical analysis is also shown to have important implications for the direction of regional poli...
