Author(s): Bui, JC; Kim, C; Weber, AZ; Bell, AT | Abstract: Pulsed electrolysis has been demonstrated to improve the faradaic efficiency (FE) C2+ products during electrochemical reduction of CO2 over a Cu catalyst, but nature this enhancement is poorly understood. Herein, we developed time-dependent continuum model pulsed on in 0.1 M CsHCO3 that faithfully represents experimentally observed eff...

The potential energy surfaces for the reaction between H2O and the protonated alcohols MeOH2+, EtOH2+, PriOH2+, and Bu(t)OH2+ have been explored by means of high level ab initio theoretical methods. Both nucleophilic substitution (SN2) and elimination (E2) pathways have been investigated. Front side (SNF) and the familiar back side (SNB) Walden inversion attack of the nucleophile have been foun...

The first part of this paper deals with the topic of finding equivalent norms and characterizations for vector-valued Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin spaces Bs p,q(E) and F s p,q(E). We will deduce general criteria by transferring and extending a theorem of Bui, Paluszyński and Taibleson from the scalar to the vector-valued case. By using special norms and characterizations we will derive necessary ...

Hawkins introduced a probabilistic version of Erathosthenes’ sieve and studied the associated sequence of random “primes” (pk)k≥1. Using various probabilistic techniques, many authors have obtained sharp results concerning these random “primes”, which are often in agreement with certain classical theorems or conjectures for prime numbers. In this paper, we prove that the number of integers k ≤ ...

In this paper, we deal with restoring missing information in molecule databases: Many data formats only store the atoms’ configuration but omit bond multiplicities. As this information is essential for various applications in chemistry, we consider the problem of recovering bond type information using a scoring function for the possible valences of each atom—the Bond Order Assignment problem. W...

The problem of computing a good approximat ion of the value function, which is essential because this provides the optimal control, is a difficult task in the continuous case. Indeed, as it has been pointed out by several authors, the use of parameterized functions such as neural networks for approximating the value function may produce very bad results and even diverge. In fact, we show that c...

Diagrammatic reasoning is a type of reasoning in which the pr imary means of inference is direct manipulat ion and inspection of a diagram. Diagrammatic reasoning is prevalent in human problem solving behavior, especially for problems involving spatial relations among physical objects. Our research examines the relationship between diagrammatic and symbolic reasoning in a computational framewor...
