Sommario/riassunto |
|
The Assumption of Agency Theory revisits the Turing Test and examines what Turing's assessor knew. It asks important questions about how machines vis à vis humans have been characterized since Turing, and seeks to reverse the trend of looking closely at the machine by asking what humans know in interaction and how they know it. Building upon existing theories of philosophy of mind, this book shows not how humans operate theoretically, but how they use every day human skill to overcome knowledge barriers and understand each other through knowing themselves. Only once human in |

adsorbents, catalysts, catalyst supports and membranes, and form the basis of cutting-edge technology because of their unique structural and surface properties. Advanced Catalytic Materials is written by a distinguished group of contributors and the chapters provide comprehensive coverage of the current literature, up-to-date overviews of all aspects of advanced materials in catalysis, and present the skills needed for designing and synthesizing advanced materials. The book also showcases many topics concerning the fast-developing area of materials for catalysis and their emerging applications. The book is divided into three parts: Nanocatalysts - Architecture and Design; Organic and Inorganic Catalytic Transformations; and Functional Catalysis: Fundamentals and Applications. Specifically, the chapters discuss the following subjects: [bullet] Environmental applications of multifunctional nanocomposite catalytic materials [bullet] Transformation of nanostructured functional precursors using soft chemistry [bullet] Graphenes in heterogeneous catalysis [bullet] Gold nanoparticles-graphene composites material for catalytic application [bullet] Hydrogen generation from chemical hydrides [bullet] Ring-opening polymerization of poly(lactic acid) [bullet] Catalytic performance of metal alkoxides [bullet] Cycloaddition of CO2 and epoxides over reusable solid catalysts [bullet] Biomass derived fine chemicals using catalytic metal bio-composites [bullet] Homoleptic metal carbonyls in organic transformation [bullet] Zeolites: smart materials for novel, efficient, and versatile catalysis [bullet] Optimizing zeolitic catalysis for environmental remediation"-- |
