MOF/polymer hybrids through in situ free radical polymerization in metal-organic frameworks [PDF]
We use the free radical polymerization initiator 4,4′-azobis(cyanovaleric acid) coordinated to the open metal sites of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to give rise to highly uniform MOF/polymer hybrids.

Shared Model of Sense-making for Human-Machine Collaboration [PDF]
We present a model of sense-making that greatly facilitates the collaboration between an intelligent analyst and a knowledge-based agent. It is a general model grounded in the science of evidence and the scientific method of hypothesis generation and testing, where sense-making hypotheses that explain an observation are generated, relevant evidence is ...
