surface polarization evolution and reconstruction for co2 reduction

the exploitation of fossil fuels to sustain human activities have determined a steep increase in co2 atmospheric concentration thus leading to climate changes while photovoltaic devices and wind power plants provide sustainable alternatives for energy supply chemical commodities are still mainly produced from fossil fuels the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide enables generation of chemicals from co2 water and renewable energy concurring to reduce co2 concentration and store excess renewable energy in the superco2 project i aim to manufacture electrochemical cells achieving high performance and stability for converting co2 to ethanol ethylene and further c3 hydrocarbons in fact cubased materials the stateoftheart catalysts for converting co2 to multicarbon molecules suffer low performance and poor longterm stability at large electrode sizes thus limiting the industrial uptake of the technology besides the lack of effective data sharing platforms prevent parallel optimization of co2 reduction catalysts by different stakeholders whereas poor understanding of the many interdependent phenomena which affects the process further prevents its industrial scale up to overcome these limitations i will carry out three main tasks the search for improved catalysts the creation of an opensource database to store experimental data and the development of a multiscale platform to model the processes involved overall superco2 will contribute in the short term to fundamental insights in the field of co2 reduction in the mid to long term to a fossilfree production of multicarbon molecules within european union besides by including academic politecnico di torino cole polytechnique fdrale de lausanne and industrial teijin materials stakeholders the project will provide the researcher with an allinclusive profile in the field of electrochemistry
knocking on the vaticans gates refugees the holy see and the spectre of communism 19451958

this project will be the first to explore the crucial but hitherto neglected role of the vatican relief commission the pontificia commissione di assistenza pca in assisting and resettling european refugees after world war ii and in the early cold war it takes advantage of an unprecedented opportunity the opening of the part of the vatican apostolic archive or vaa named the vatican secret archive until 2019 pertaining to the pontificate of pius xii 19391958 in march 2020 to meet its central aim providing a new understanding of western humanitarianism in the postwar period this project interrogates the documents held in vaa to integrate the missing puzzle piece of papal aid into the picture of the international refugee assistance it demonstrates the importance of the vaticans faithbased humanitarianism and its use of refugees from eastern europe as a playing card in building an anticommunist defensive three objectives are to be achieved in the lifetime of the project a to conduct intensive archival research in the untapped collections of vaa and to triangulate this with material from the archives of the international refugee organization iro and united nations high commissioner for refugees unhcr b to analyze this primary source material in order to revisit historiographical assumptions on the postwar refugee regime international humanitarianism the catholic church and the cold war c to disseminate the research findings to the scholarly community the public refugees and policymakers drawing attention to the importance of historicizing refugee experiences and policies the methodology of this project combines historical analysis of original archival sources qualitative research techniques and interdisciplinary conceptual frameworks integrating institutional and bottomup perspectives it highlights the issues of gender class and ethnicity in experiencing and negotiating displacement
syllabification in greek n experimental investigation of how orthography messes with abstract representations

when speakers syllabify a word they are expected to rely on their implicit knowledge of how their phonological grammar treats certain sound sequences yet they often produce or accept as wellformed alternatives that may come into conflict with grammar rules interestingly such divergent variants seem to be influenced by prescriptive hyphenation rulessigma examines the influence of hyphenation on the perception and production of syllable boundaries taking standard modern greek as a case study the speakers varying preferences will be revealed via largescale experimental tasks addressing participants of diverse literacy backgrounds and employing novel methodologies language games judgments using a likert scale for the first time in research on greek syllabification intra and crossspeaker variation will be modeled within gradient harmonic grammar which assumes that abstract representations here innovatively structural components of the syllable have a gradient activity level that affects their probability of realization thus instead of selecting the correct form and discarding all others this model generates variants with different chances to emerge the findings will be incorporated into a concise guide offering an uptodate description of syllabification rules introducing variation as a possibilitysigmas experimental methodology and theoretical assumptions can be extended to the study of a wide range of linguistic phenomena and populations including individuals with speech pathologies or speakers of l2heritage greek beyond its significant scientific impact its applications especially to education will have major societal and economic impact as the project paves the way for revising educational resources including tailored materials for atypicalnonnative populations these enhanced materials will be exploitable by official educational bodies in greece and abroad in curricula for greeks of diaspora or language learning apps
