Effects of nitrogen vacancy sites of oxynitride support on the catalytic activity for ammonia decomposition by Kazuki Miyashita, Kiya Ogasawara, Masayoshi Miyazaki, Hitoshi Abe, Yasuhiro Niwa, Hideki Kato, Hideo Hosono, Masaaki Kitano

“…Ni-loaded oxynitrides exhibited 2.5–18 times greater catalytic activity than did the corresponding oxide-supported Ni catalysts, even without noticeable differences in the Ni particle size and surface area of the supports. The catalytic performance of the Ni-loaded oxynitrides is well correlated with the nitrogen desorption temperature during N2 temperature-programmed desorption, which suggests that the lattice nitrogen in the oxynitride support rather than the Ni surface is the active site for ammonia decomposition. …”

A Graphical Approach for Hybrid Simulation of 3D Diffusion Bio-Models via Coloured Hybrid Petri Nets by Amr Ismail, Mostafa Herajy, Elsayed Atlam, Monika Heiner

“…The traditional approach to construct and simulate 3D models is to build a system of partial differential equations (PDEs). Although this approach may be computationally efficient and has been employed by many researchers over the years, it is not always intuitive since it does not provide a visual depiction of the modelled systems. …”
