This Account outlines the recent efforts of developing catalysis under the ambient conditions of air and water for synthetic purposes from the author's laboratory. The discussions are focused on catalytic reactions (mostly C-C bond formations) other than oxidations via late transition metals. It includes the following aspects: (1) copper-catalyzed C-C bond formations; (2) palladium-catalyzed C-...

Given a pair of keyframe formations for a group consisting of multiple individuals, we present a spectral-based approach to smoothly transforming a source group formation into a target formation while respecting the clusters of the involved individuals. The proposed method provides an effective means for controlling the macroscopic spatiotemporal arrangement of individuals for applications such...

Abstract A temporary solution to massive anthropogenic CO 2 emissions can be the capture of industrial from flue gas and sequestering it in geological formations. For safe effective storage , interaction processes rock-pore fluid–CO system should known. Investigation natural accumulations provides valuable examples what physical chemical effects could expected during influx at future sites. One...

In this paper, a framework for maintaining formations of large number of mobile autonomous vehicles based on rigidity is proposed. The aim of this paper is to explore strategies for maintaining formations with more limited communication/sensing requirements. An inductive construction method for provably rigid formations is proposed, and a method for optimum angle measures between vehicles is de...
