In situ benthic fluxes from an intermittently active mud volcano at the Costa Rica convergent margin [PDF]
Along the erosive convergent margin off Costa Rica a large number of mound-shaped structures exist built by mud diapirism or mud volcanism. One of these, Mound 12, an intermittently active mud volcano, currently emits large amounts of aqueous dissolved ...

The catalytic oxidation of organic contaminants in a packed bed reactor [PDF]
The catalytic oxidation of several hydrocarbons was studied over noble metal and metal oxide catalysts. A fast empirical method was developed to determine the minimum operating temperature required to guarantee complete conversion of the hydrocarbon.\ud \

Nature of Pre-Earthquake Phenomena and their Effects on Living Organisms
Earthquakes occur when tectonic stresses build up deep in the Earth before catastrophic rupture. During the build-up of stress, processes that occur in the crustal rocks lead to the activation of highly mobile electronic charge carriers.

A photoelectrochemical device was achieved by interfacial self-assembly of macrocyclic π-conjugated copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) on surface of TiO2 nanorod arrays (NRs). The photocurrent density of the elegant TiO2@CuPc NRs photoanode reaches 2.40 mA/cm2

Methane Oxidation to Methanol in Water [PDF]
Methane represents one of the most abundant carbon sources for fuel or chemical production. However, remote geographical locations and high transportation costs result in a substantial proportion being flared at the source. The selective oxidation of methane to methanol remains a grand challenge for catalytic chemistry due to the large energy barrier ...

Thinking twice about the evolution of photosynthesis [PDF]
Sam Granick opened his seminal 1957 paper titled ‘Speculations on the origins and evolution of photosynthesis’ with the assertion that there is a constant urge in human beings to seek beginnings (I concur).

Structure–Function Relationship within Cu-Peptoid Electrocatalysts for Water Oxidation
Water oxidation (WO) is the first step in the water-splitting process aiming at the production of hydrogen as a green renewable fuel. To successfully perform WO, potent strategies for overcoming the high energetic barrier and slow kinetics of this ...
