The characterization of chainable continua as inverse limits on [0, 1] has resulted in many papers which have contributed to our knowledge of both inverse limits and chainable continua. Quite simple maps on [0, 1] give rise to quite complicated inverse limits. In this paper we begin an investigation of continua that can be represented by inverse limits of closed subsets of the unit square I = [...

I n t r o d u c t i o n : S t r a t e g y , D e s i g n a n d B u i l d i n g s Design is increasingly recognized as critical in competitive business strategy. Peters (1995) uses the term ‘design mindfulness’ to convey the idea that design ought to work its way into every aspect of a company—tangible and intangible. Among European companies, the realization that product design processes could b...

Sintering is one of the most common processes responsible for loss supported metal nanoparticle catalysts' activity. We have combined ab-initio calculations with microkinetic simulations to investigate digestion and growth mechanism on Au clusters MgO(0 0 1) following a bottom-up approach. The energy barrier diffusing single gold atom clean MgO surface was found be 0.29 eV in full agreement pre...
