Unified quantum theory of electrochemical kinetics by coupled ion–electron transfer by Bazant, Martin Z.

“…In the limit of large ion transfer energies, the theory predicts Butler–Volmer kinetics of “ion-coupled electron transfer” (ICET), where the charge transfer coefficient and exchange current are connected to microscopic properties of the electrode/electrolyte interface. In the ICET regime, the reductive and oxidative branches of Tafel’s law are predicted to hold over a wide range of overpotentials, bounded by the ion-transfer energies for oxidation and reduction, respectively. …”

Kinetic subspace investigation using neural network for uncertainty quantification in nonpremixed flamelets by Koenig, Benjamin C, Ji, Weiqi, Deng, Sili

“…However, this one-dimensional assumption does not apply to all flamelet regimes. In the current work, we developed a systematic approach to discover low-dimensional active subspace reductions that apply to the entire mixture fraction space of the flamelet, and that function even in cases where the uncertainty response is not uniform across the entire solution domain and the one-dimensional assumption does not apply. …”

The interrelation of EU law with inter se international agreements of the EU member states by Georgaki, K, Eleftheriadis, P

“…Chapter Three then examines the position of EU law within international law, identifying EU law as an autonomous sub-system within public international law, in the sense of a broadly conceived ‘self-contained regime’. Chapter Four moves on to define the notion of ‘conflict’ between EU law and inter se agreements and provides the conceptual framework, within which it is to be grasped. …”

Privacy: a political approach by Bogue, RC

“…It can thus be shown that a commitment to democracy entails a commitment to certain privacy rights—a finding that circumvents the difficulty in establishing a common basis for privacy protections by appealing to all citizens who live under democratic regimes. In abandoning familiar understandings of privacy, the political approach to privacy does away with the problematic emphasis on consent, adapts privacy to an ever-changing surveillance environment, addresses prominent critiques of privacy rights, and provides a common basis of justification for future privacy legislation. …”

Temporal evolution of mechanical properties in PDMS: A comparative study of elastic modulus and relaxation time for storage in air and aqueous environment by Zhang, Y, Adam, C, Rehnstrom, H, Contera, S

“…The identification of two distinct relaxation times suggests the involvement of two disparate material property regimes in the relaxation process, implying changes in the surface material composition at the interface with air/water. …”

The Emergence of State Sphere in Social Media: A Political Balkanization in Malaysia by Mohamed@Bakar, Badrul Azmier, Yusoff, Moharnrnad Agus, Mohd. Zain, Zawiyah, Efendi, Dori

“…Blogs have transformed news reporting; YouTube has reinvented talent sourcing; and “the trinity” (Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube) have revolutionary changed the rules of the game of regime change. Enabling commoners to be producers and its interactiveness are the two most important characteristics that grant the ordinary citizens to be extra-ordinary. …”
