It is also widely used for air pollution control (e.g., VOC remediation). Plasma catalysis allows thermodynamically difficult reactions to proceed at ambient pressure and temperature, due to activation of the gas molecules by energetic electrons created in the plasma. However, plasma is very reactive but not selective, and thus a catalyst is needed to improve the selectivity. In spite of the growing interest in plasma catalysis, the underlying mechanisms of the (possible) synergy between plasma and catalyst are not yet fully understood. Indeed, plasma catalysis is quite complicated, as the plasma will affect the catalyst and vice versa. Moreover, due to the reactive plasma environment, the most suitable catalysts will probably be different from thermal catalysts. More research is needed to better understand the plasma-catalyst interactions, in order to further improve the applications.plasma catalysis; mode transition; packed-bed dielectric barrier discharge; particle-in- cell/Monte Carlo collision method; surface filament; gas composition; self-cooling; dielectric barrier discharge; CO2 decomposition; CO selectivity; packing materials; toluene; CeO2; mineralization; in plasma-catalysis; post plasma-catalysis; relative humidity; plasmas-catalysis; non-thermal plasmas; perovskite catalysts; nonstoichiometry; H2S oxidation; plasma catalysis; gallium; indium; Ga-In alloys; radiofrequency plasma; ammonia synthesis; rotating gliding arc plasma; tar destruction; toluene; naphthalene; phenanthrene; catalyst; dielectric barrier discharge (DBD); isotope labelling; methane reforming; ammonia synthesis; plasma catalysis; dry reforming of methane; dielectric barrier discharge; packing materials; plasma catalysis; VOC abatement; air pollution; zeolites; adsorption-plasma catalysis; NOx conversion; DBD plasma; Manganese; bimetal; nanocatalyst; plasma catalysis; catalyst preparation; NH3 decomposition; H2 generation; nonequilibrium plasma; plasma catalysis; gas temperature; calcium carbonate decomposition; n/aBogaerts Annemie1312704ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910765506403321Plasma Catalysis3040646UNINA03727nam 22004815 450 991033768670332120240508234637.03-030-15487-410.1007/978-3-030-15487-5(CKB)4100000007992428(MiAaPQ)EBC5754926(DE-He213)978-3-030-15487-5(Perlego)3494707(EXLCZ)99410000000799242820190416d2019 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBergson's Philosophy of Self-Overcoming Thinking without Negativity or Time as Striving /by Messay Kebede1st ed. 2019.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2019.1 online resource (295 pages)Includes index.3-030-15486-6 1.

Mysticism or the Overstepping of Nature."In this highly original study Messay Kebede shows himself to be an incisive and instructive reader of Bergson. He ably shows the enduring philosophical value of Bergson's philosophy and its pertinence to core philosophical problems. Especially impressive is the way he brings Bergson into rapport with thinkers and practices of philosophy from Nietzsche to phenomenology. The book is a most welcome contribution to the ongoing renaissance of interest in Bergson." - Keith Ansell-Pearson, University of Warwick, UK "With a new wave of Bergson scholarship emerging, Kebede's timely book will be both welcomed by and challenging to Bergson scholars. Rigorously navigating Bergson's major concepts, Kebede uses the notion of self-overcoming to open up new ways of understanding Bergson and resolving many of the tensions within the receptions of Bergson's philosophy. This is necessary reading for Bergson scholars." -Mark William Westmoreland, Villanova University, USA This book proposes a new reading of Bergsonism based on the admission that time, conceived as duration, stretches instead of passes. This swelling time is full and so excludes the negative. Yet, swelling requires some resistance, but such that it is more of a stimulant than a contrariety. The notion of élan vital fulfills this requirement: it states the immanence of life to matter, thereby deriving the swelling from an internal effort and allowing its conceptualization as self-overcoming. With self-overcoming as the inner dynamics of reality, Bergson dismisses all forms of dualism and reductionist monism because both the absence of negativity and the swelling nature of time posit a creative process yielding a qualitatively diverse world. This graded oneness is how the lower level activates intensification by turning into limitation, making possible higher levels of achievement, in particular through the union of mind and body and theintegration of openness and closed sociability.Continental philosophyMetaphysicsContinental PhilosophyMetaphysicsContinental philosophy.Metaphysics.Continental Philosophy.Metaphysics.194194Kebede Messayauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut859245BOOK9910337686703321Bergson’s Philosophy of Self-Overcoming1917739UNINA
