In this perspective paper a brief overview is given of the past developments in field structured catalysts and reactors, potential for process intensification, energy materials efficiency. Current exciting new demanding processes are highlighted directions indicated that contribute to future sustainable chemical industry.

In this issue of JAMA Oncology, Gogineni and colleagues report on their empirical inquiry into patient demands,1 a nemesis that proves to be more mythical than real. The study hypothesis—thatpatientdemands for treatmentsandscansdrove unnecessarycosts—was spectacularly unconfirmed when using data collected from physicians themselves. Only 8% of the patient-physician encounters at 3 cancer center...

` ` Following the characterizations provided by Barbera and Jackson [Barbera, S., Jackson, M.O., 1988. Journal of Economic Theory 46, 34–44] for the maximin, the leximin, and the protective criterion, we examine the consequences of replacing convexity in their list of axioms by concavity, which means considering risk-loving instead of risk-averse agents. This yields characterizations of the max...

In this paper we focus on solving DCOPs in computationally demanding scenarios. GDL optimally solves DCOPs, but requires exponentially large cost functions, being impractical in such settings. Function filtering is a technique that reduces the size of cost functions. We improve the effectiveness of function filtering to reduce the amount of resources required to optimally solve DCOPs. As a resu...
