Tandem catalysis enables chlorine-containing waste as chlorination reagents

Paul Joseph Dyson, Mingyang Liu, Xinbang Wu

Chlorinated compounds are ubiquitous. However, accumulation of chlorine-containing waste has a negative impact on human health and the environment due to the inapplicability of common disposal methods, such as landfill and incineration. Here we report a su ...

Metasurface Near-Field Measurements with Incident Field Reconstruction Using a Single Horn Antenna

Shourya Dutta Gupta, Ville Tuovi Tiukuvaara

Metasurfaces (MSs) are the 2-D equivalent of metaterials, the latter being a class of artificial engineered materials exhibiting peculiar electromagnetic properties [1], [2]. Generally constructed as arrays of deeply sub-wavelength resonant particles on a ...

Invariant tori in dissipative hyperchaos

Tobias Schneider, Jeremy Peter Parker

One approach to understand the chaotic dynamics of nonlinear dissipative systems is the study of non-chaotic yet dynamically unstable invariant solutions embedded in the system's chaotic attractor. The significance of zero-dimensional unstable fixed points ...

Using Enterprise Models to Explain and Discuss Autopoiesis and Homeostasis in Socio-technical Systems

Gil Regev

The article links two seemingly different fundamental theoretical concepts of autopoiesis and homeostasis and tries to apply them to the realm of socio-technical systems with the use of the Fractal Enterprise Model (FEM). Autopoiesis is the property of a s ...

Quantifying the information impact of future searches for exoplanetary biosignatures

Claudio Grimaldi

One of the major goals for astronomy in the next decades is the remote search for biosignatures (i.e., the spectroscopic evidence of biological activity) in exoplanets. Here we adopt a Bayesian statistical framework to discuss the implications of such futu ...
