Preparation and Photocatalytic Activity of Ag Modified Ti-Doped-Bi2O3 Photocatalyst by Lilan Zhang, Junfeng Niu, Duo Li, Ding Gao, Jianghong Shi

“…The structural properties of the prepared catalysts were studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET surface area, and UV/Vis diffuse reflectance (DRS). The XRD spectra of the Ti doped Bi2O3 calcined at 650°C showed the diffraction peaks of a mixture of Bi12TiO20 and Bi4Ti3O12, with bits of mixed crystallite consisting of TiO2 and B2O3. …”

Clément, Alexei P Sokolov, Sheng Dai

“…According to a literature survey, the optimal LLTO filler should possess the following characteristics: i) a single‐crystal structure to minimize grain boundaries; ii) a small particle size to increase the filler/polymer interface area; iii) a 1D morphology for efficient interface channels; and iv) cubic symmetry to facilitate rapid bulk Li+ diffusion within the filler. However, the synthesis of single crystal, 1D LLTO nanomaterials with cubic symmetry is challenging. …”

Política lingüística de uso del lenguaje inclusivo de género y las revistas científicas de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR) by Eida Martínez Rocha, Silvia Rivera Alfaro

“…Uno de los principales hallazgos refiere a que un 66 % de revistas no ha discutido en sus comités editoriales la política de lenguaje inclusivo de género de la Universidad, que data del año 2003, y el restante 34 % que sí lo ha hecho, se encuentra en distintos niveles de proximidad respecto a la implementación de dicha política lingüística. En la discusión se toman en cuenta distintas características de las revistas, el proceso editorial y el contexto para proponer mejoras en la implementación de esta política universitaria. …”

Tools: Stuff: Art by David Kirshner

“…Heidegger's contemplation of 'Form' and his writings on 'tools', 'material' and 'art', and the section dealing with the Temple provides an interesting locus in which to discus Debussy's comments.
The second section gives some ideas of how I reinterpreted this argument to produce a series of visual works inspired by another of Satie's works, Furniture Music – Musique d' ameublement, a piece of music that was not to be listened to.

Instituciones, evolución y delincuencia racional: Hacia una perspectiva posthumeana by José L. Tasset

“…Este trabajo pretende mostrar (1) las líneas generales de la propuesta humeana de una teoría de la evolución de las instituciones en clave utilitarista; (2) en segundo lugar, analizará la objeción interna a esta teoría que supone la existencia de posibles sujetos no cooperadores pero inteligentes (vulneradores racionales de las normas de justicia, de los fundamentos del diseño institucional), (3) en tercer lugar, intentará también defender dicha teoría de la acusación externa de no tener un auténtico carácter normativo; y (4) al no haber desarrollado el propio Hume con detalle su contestación al problema del conflicto Moral/Racionalidad, tal y como surge en el contexto de su discusión de la Knavery, finalmente, y en cuarto lugar, este trabajo, yendo en un cierto sentido algo más allá de lo propuesto por Hume, ensayará un argumento post-humeano en torno a ese conflicto, basado, por una parte, en el reconocimiento de la multidimensionalidad de la Moral, así como en la paralela aceptación de la necesidad de un ajuste contextual de ésta, asentado sobre consideraciones primaria, que no exclusivamente, utilitaristas.…”
