Platinum oxide formation under oxygen evolution reaction conditions
Abstract Electrocatalyst degradation, often caused by oxidative processes, forms a large barrier for the wide-spread application of electrolysers and fuel cells, which are crucial for a sustainable energy society. A detailed understanding of the catalyst surface structure under oxygen evolution reaction (OER) conditions is, therefore, required to design more stable catalysts.
An ultrafast plenoptic-camera system for high-resolution 3D particle tracking in unsegmented scintillators
Abstract Neutrino detectors, particle calorimeters and some dark matter detectors require dense and massive active materials. An extremely fine segmentation is desirable to achieve precise three-dimensional particle tracking. However, such systems introduce significant challenges in construction and demand a large number of readout electronics channels, leading to extremely high costs.

New Prodigiosin Derivatives - Chemoenzymatic Synthesis and Physiological Evaluation
New Prodigiosin Derivatives – Chemoenzymatic Synthesis and Physiological Evaluation Prodigiosin and its derivatives from the prodiginine family are a natural class of secondary metabolite alkaloids of bacterial origin. They are well known for multifarious biological acitivities against a broad range of bacteria, pathogenic fungi, parasites, and several cancer cell lines.

Commercial tour guides are coming to Flagstaff’s national forests. Here's what to expect.
Forest Service officials, meanwhile, report confidence that the impact to recreation and forest health in the area will be indistinguishable from current use.” Once public need was established, the Forest Service began examining the recreation capacity of the 12,991-acre management area within the district.While the plan identified more than 65,000 possible service days, Forest Service documents state that “our current number of service days requested is under 6,000.” Back at the Forest...
The Loneliness of the Author - The Book of the New Sun
Most art forms express ideas through an experience of the senses. Paintings, music, and dance all provide some tangible experience for the audience to latch on to, regardless of the underlying meaning of the work. Literature is unique as an art form in that it relies entirely upon a human construct to express an idea: language.
How to Get Clients to Say “Yes” to Cybersecurity
Throughout my years as a security professional, I’ve had the opportunity to talk to many managed service providers (MSPs) trying to transition into providing cybersecurity services. In these conversations I’ve noticed common themes and challenges companies face as they consider making the move. In this blog, I’ll share my techniques for getting clients to say yes to addressing the cybersecurity issues they inevitably face.
Google persuades Spanish bank BBVA to use the cloud
By Tim Weber Business editor, BBC News website Published duration11 January 2012 image captionBBVA will keep Google applications separate from customer data Spanish banking giant BBVA is switching its 110,000 staff to use Google's range of enterprise software. The deal is the biggest that the search giant has signed with one company for its cloud-computing services, where software is offered as a service via the internet.
What businesses can learn from Hartford’s ransomware attack
The recent cyberattack on the city of Hartford proved once again ransomware is still very much a threat. Tim Weber Thankfully, the city had taken precautions. It credited its ability to continue running emergency services as well as its quick recovery from the attack to recent investments and a proactive approach to cybersecurity. While the best security event is the one that doesn’t happen, that’s wishful thinking.
What We Know About Exposure Notification Security
The COVID-19 pandemic is creating an urgent need for technical solutions to assist in the critical process of digital contact tracing. In a recent blog, Christopher Luise and guest co-author Daniel Schwartz discussed contact tracing at a high level as well as the privacy and legal ramifications of proposed digital contact tracing solutions.
Social media business heats up for Radian 6, Salesforce and Jive
The deal demonstrates the rapidly growing interest in how companies use social media to connect with customers. Salesforce.com itself recently began to sell a social media tool for companies. Another social media player, Jive, meanwhile announced that top managers from Google and Facebook had joined its board, a clear sign that it is getting ready for a stock market flotation.
Will We Own AIs, or Will They Own Us?
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) promises a technology revolution, but like most major innovations these days it is misunderstood. Some of its real risks to society and to the privacy and autonomy of our daily lives are practically undiscussed. Not that there isn’t extensive fretting on other fronts. We hear endless talk about the threat AI could pose for jobs, and Elon Musk has warned that future AIs could develop their own autonomous mean streak.
How Real is Virtual Reality? - Techonomy
The numbers are stunning for a new technology. By 2020, annual revenue from Virtual Reality devices will reach $21 billion, predict Gartner and Bloomberg Intelligence. By then, more than 30 million VR devices will ship every year, asserts Forrester, with demand coming both from consumers and companies.
Gates forecasts victory over spam
Spammers - senders of bulk e-mail that mostly offers dubious products or pornography - were innovative, he said. However, a three-pronged strategy would soon stamp out the problem, he said in remarks at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos. He hailed search technology firm Google as a "great company"; its approach reminded him of Microsoft 20 years ago. But he also predicted that Microsoft search technology would soon outpace that of its rival.
CEOs Should Imagine They’re at Davos Every Day
Trust in companies — which collapsed during the financial crisis — has improved in most countries, but according to our Edelman Trust Barometer, this recovery of confidence has stalled. CEOs are trusted by a mere 43% of the survey’s respondents; only government officials fared worse (36%). Real trust is put in people “like myself” (62%) and academics or experts (67%).
I heard they trademarked Trayvon's name
These words uttered by a co-worker. To me such a statement stems from a desire to divert attention from the matter at hand — that an innocent black child was murdered. It is this form of racism that is most common and most insidious. My response was not a politically correct non-response. It was not a gentle nod of the head. I confronted it directly and stated, “An innocent black child was murdered. The murderer is known and has not even been questioned. Everything else is irrelevant.”
Facebook's Instagram deal: Can one app be worth $1bn?
By Tim Weber Business editor, BBC News website Image caption, Mark Zuckerberg promises to keep Instagram going One billion US dollars is a tidy sum of money. It would buy you some 2,100 Rolls Royce Phantoms. Or 200 million mosquito nets to fight malaria. Or the whole of the New York Times company (with $50m change to spare). If you are Microsoft, it buys you some 800 AOL patents to fight the next patent war.
Web economy in G20 set to double by 2016, Google says
By Tim Weber Business editor, BBC News website, Davos The value of the web economy in G20 countries will nearly double by 2016, according to Boston Consulting Group. Driving the spurt from $2.3tn (£1.5tn) to $4.2tn (£2.7tn) will be the rapid rise of mobile internet access. The study, supported by web giant Google, assumes that in four years 3bn people will be using the internet, or nearly 50% of the world's population.
The search for e-commerce 3.0
By Tim Weber Business editor, BBC News website at DLD Conference in Munich image captionThe Chinese online market place Taobao sells 800 items a second E-commerce - the term sounds nearly old-fashioned by now. Aren't we all doing our shopping online? Well, no. E-commerce is still puny. By some estimates it makes up a mere 5% of all retail. But it is growing rapidly. Some of the data points are startling: The Chinese online market place Taobao, for example, sells 800 items a second.
Why companies watch your every Facebook, YouTube, Twitter move
By Tim Weber Business editor, BBC News website Once upon a time companies could afford to be rude. Unhappy customers would grumble to a few friends, withdraw their custom, but there was little else they could do. Today, they still tell their friends, but they do it online, using social media websites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Take the Canadian folk singer, Dave Carroll. After nine months of complaining he had had enough.
