Elucidation of mechanistic and kinetic aspects of water-gas shift reaction on supported Pt and Au catalysts via transient isotopic techniques
(2016)
With growing interest in hydrogen fuel cell applications, novel and robust water-gas shift (WGS) industrial catalysts are required with high activity, preferably at low-temperatures (To250 1C). Supported Pt and Au on ...
A dimethacrylate cross-linker cleavable under thermolysis or alkaline hydrolysis conditions: Synthesis, polymerization, and degradation
(2016)
We develop a new platform based on 2,6-pyridinediethanol diesters for introducing polymer degradability under thermolysis or alkaline hydrolysis conditions, with the latter being rare in polymers. Such labile diesters can ...
Internet computing: Using reputation to select workers from a pool
(2016)
The assignment and execution of tasks over the Internet is an inexpensive solution in contrast with supercomputers. We consider an Internet-based Master-Worker task computing approach, such as SETI@home. A master process ...
Novel approach to fast determination of cholesterol oxidation products in Cypriot foodstuffs using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
(2016)
This paper reports the development and validation of a new method based on ultra-performance LC coupled to MS/MS for the simultaneous determination of four cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) in foodstuffs in only 4.1 ...
ICT systems and services for Ageing Well: Identification and assessment of an important set (package) of ICT services for active ageing and independent living
(Springer Verlag, 2016)
Currently, the main care model for supporting elderly people living alone at home is based on informal and formal caregivers assistance. Considering the demographic changes of older population, which increases rapidly, ...
A socio-aware decentralized topology construction protocol
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
Decentralized Online Social Networks (DOSNs) offer an alternative to the usual centralized solutions, that promises to preserve more control of a user's data to the user herself. An important aspect in the design of DOSNs ...
Distributed in-memory processing of All K Nearest Neighbor queries
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
A wide spectrum of Internet-scale mobile applications, ranging from social networking, gaming and entertainment to emergency response and crisis management, all require efficient and scalable All k Nearest Neighbor (AkNN) ...
