Sommario/riassunto

There is consensus that good governance is participatory governance (PG), but public officials are often reluctant to adopt such an approach. This book addresses the particular challenge of encouraging these officials to involve citizens in the political process. It discusses issues such as identifying PG champions and building trust.

Sommario/riassunto

Homogeneous asymmetric catalysis offers reliable results and the possibility to 'tune' the catalysis on a rational basis. A pitfall, however, is that the separation of the catalyst from the starting material and products is difficult and often results in the loss of the catalytic material.Immobilization offers a potential solution for the user of enantioselective catalysts in industrial processes and laboratories. Heterogeneous catalysis allows continuous operations, recycling of the catalyst, and an easy separation of the reaction products, reducing both waste and costs.Chemis
