Identifying the structure of most active site is essential to improve performance supported metal catalysts. For structure-sensitive reactions, in silico design cannot be easily achieved combining scaling relations and Brønsted–Evans–Polanyi relations, which are only built on energy-based descriptors. We used here generalized coordination number as a structural descriptor established that low-c...

This paper evaluates and compares the main philosophic economic thoughts of two great liberal minds Michael Polanyi Friedrich A. von Hayek in regards to concept a ‘spontaneous order’. In several their books papers, both Michal (1941, 1948, 1951) F.A. (1944, 1945, 1964, 1973) strongly emphasised on impossibility socialism superiority free market versus public interventionism. Both highlighted co...

This paper is an introduction to a special issue of the Journal of Political Ecology on "Ecologies of Hope."The authors argue that discrete, specific, and often, local actions can create spaces that are bettering humanlives and livelihoods. The five papers identify actions and movements that are situated in the "middle"between the individual and larger social and economic formations...

The physical availability of organic compounds in soil and sediment strongly influences their bioavailability and toxicity. Previous work has indicated that physical availability changes throughout the processes of aging and treatment and that it can be linked to the energy required to release the compound from its sorbent matrix, with a higher energy indicating a more tightly bound compound. T...
