Linkages between Political and Economic Reforms in Post-Communist Countries [PDF]
This paper analyses the interaction between the political and economic reforms undertaken in post-communist countries since the early 1990s. The empirical investigation uses panel data from 27 transition countries for the period 1991 to 2005 ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A highly dispersed NiO‐MgO solid solution (MgxNi1‐xO) is created in a hierarchically porous Ca‐based matrix to protect Ni and CaO nanoparticles against carbon deposition and sintering. Owing to the reversible reconstruction of MgxNi1‐xO, this superior structure is self‐regenerative in the calcium looping dry reforming of methane process, thereby ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A novel synergistic strategy by employing dual functional sulfur‐containing additives of lithium sulfide (Li2S) and its oxidation product lithium sulfate (Li2SO4) was proposed. Li2SO4 absorbs the solvent molecules to direct the formation of a uniform, Li2O‐rich, and adaptive interphase, which accommodates volume expansion and suppresses parasitic ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.High‐throughput quantum‐mechanical simulations reveal that amorphous carbon undergoes shear‐driven structural transformation into aromatic, graphene‐like interfaces. This mechanochemical process is governed by dopant chemistry: dopants with valency less than four promote the emergence of superlow‐friction amorphous graphene, whereas tetra‐valent ...

Reform Redux: Measurement, Determinants and Reversals [PDF]
What do we know about the effects of structural reforms? One main reason the answer may be “little†is inadequate measurement. In this paper we put forward improved measures of economic liberalization across countries over time.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A metal‐directed carbonization strategy transforms hierarchical organic microspheres into spiky carbon catalysts with Pd nanoparticles embedded at the tips. This approach resolves the activity‐stability trade‐off, achieving exceptional poison resistance in semi‐hydrogenations, offering a versatile, scalable platform for designing high‐performance ...
