23 p, 1.1 MB Computational Study of Homogeneous Multimetallic Cooperative Catalysis / Sciortino, Giuseppe (Institut d'Investigacions Químiques de Catalunya) ; Maseras Cuní, Feliu (Institut d'Investigacions Químiques de Catalunya)
Cooperative multimetallic catalysis is a fascinating field of research further expanding the role of homogeneous catalysis. The simultaneous activation of two substrates or functionalities by different catalytic entities and their subsequent coupling are the responsible for the rate acceleration and selectivity exerted by these systems.

Microkinetic modelling in computational homogeneous catalysis and beyond / Sciortino, Giuseppe (Institut d'Investigacions Químiques de Catalunya) ; Maseras Cuní, Feliu (Institut d'Investigacions Químiques de Catalunya)
DFT models have been repeatedly demonstrated to be able to supply fundamental information on chemical processes through molecular insights into their mechanism and chemo-selectivity. However, the raw application of DFT free energy profiles falls shorts of reproducing the evolution of concentration of chemical species along the time, which is probably the most desirable quantitative information to compare calculation with the experimental data.

Climatic warming has lengthened the photosynthetically active season in recent decades, thus affecting the functioning and biogeochemistry of ecosystems, the global carbon cycle and climate. Temperature response of carbon uptake phenology varies spatially and temporally, even within species, and daily total intensity of radiation may play a role. [...]

Social insects owe their widespread success to their ability to efficiently coordinate behaviour to carry out complex tasks. Several leaf-cutter ant species employ an advanced type of division of labour known as task partitioning, where the task of retrieving leaves is distributed between workers that cut and drop and those that collect the fallen leaves.

In this paper, we study both processes of direct and indirect knowledge transfer, from a modelling perspective, using agent-based models. In fact, there are several ways to model knowledge. We choose to study three different representations, and try to determine which one allows to better capture the dynamics of knowledge diffusion within a social network. [...]
