Effect of Ion-Exchange Modification on Hydrogen and Carbon Dioxide Adsorption Behaviour of RhoZMOF Material by Guillermo Calleja, Juan A. Botas, Carmen Martos, Gisela Orcajo, José. A. Villajos

“…Zeolite-like metal-organic frameworks (ZMOFs) can adsorb hydrogen and carbon dioxide because of their negatively charged structures, being able to be ion exchanged with metal cations to further increase the electrostatic field inside the framework cavities. Ion exchange of RhoZMOF with alkaline and alkaline-earth metal cations was performed up to stoichiometric levels with one single ion-exchange step. …”

ANTİK LİBERALİZM Mİ YOKSA MODERN SOFİZM Mİ? by Fatih TÜRE

“…Bu çerçevede insanların özellikle yaşama, özgürlük ve mülkiyet haklarını koruyan, kendini hukukla sınırlandıran, güvenlik ve adalet dışındaki alanları bireylerin serbest girişimlerine bırakan ve dolayısıyla bireylerin çıkarları ile kendi çıkarı örtüşen devlet düşüncesi de liberalizmin temel savıdır. Sonuçta aralarında ikibin yılı aşkın bir zaman farkı bulunmasına karşın, sofizm ile liberalizmin insan, birey, özgürlük ve devlet algılamalarında şaşırtıcı bir benzerlik vardır.…”
