description: We introduce GRPC4BMI, a software package that exposes earth system models (ESM) as remote services, provided these models implement the basic modeling interface (BMI). BMI is a library interface, predominantly used within the hydrological and hydraulic modeling domains, that allows an external component to initialize the model, control it’s time-stepping and retrieve or manipulate its state data at any given moment. The key feature of BMI for this work is that BMI is defined in many different programing languages. Our software wraps a BMI-enabled model into a server process, possibly executed within a docker container or on different hardware, and transfers client site BMI calls to the running model instance. We use Google's protocol buffer framework GRPC to establish the communication between a python client and server. In this way, GRPC4BMI allows the user to address ESM's via a standard python BMI, irrespective of the model language and installation environment. The package can therefore serve as a valuable tool for open and reproducible analysis and coupling of ESM's.
From Son of the Bourgeoisie to Servant of the Revolution The Roots of Daniel Guérin’s Revolutionary Socialism
Creators: name: Berry, David
Publisher: name: Moving the Social
Year: 2015

description: This article explores the early years of Daniel Guérin (1904–88), a prominent and original figure on the French left from the mid-1930s onwards, in order to better understand his transformation from a son of the grande bourgeoisie into a leading revolutionary socialist and campaigner for decolonisation, racial equality, homosexual liberation and peace. It is based on a close reading of Guérin’s own retrospective representation of this period through his several autobiographical or semi-autobiographical works, as well as published and filmed interviews. This public self-representation is complemented and partly challenged by original research on other sources not intended for public consumption, including correspondence and other private papers. The article examines the influence of Guérin’s extremely wealthy yet also highly cultured, liberal, Dreyfusard family, especially his antimilitarist father’s Tolstoyan leanings and social conscience. It also highlights, notably through an analysis of the young Guérin’s poetry and novels and his intense friendship with the Catholic novelist François Mauriac, the disillusion provoked by the Geat War and the importance of a spiritual crisis which he experienced during the 1920s. Two other personal experiences had a profound impact on Guérin’s consciousness: first, his belated exposure to the realities of Parisian working-class life (deepened by a series of homosexual relationships with young proletarians), and secondly his awakening to the realities of French colonialism through his travels in the Middle East and in Indochina. These factors and his subsequent discovery not just of Marx, but also of Tolstoy and Gandhi, are essential, it is argued, to an understanding of the roots of the deeply ethical libertarian socialism for which Guérin would become known in later years.

Liberal party activists in British Columbia
Creators: name: Sayers, Anthony Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyze the nature and role of Liberal Party activists in the political life of British Columbia. As activists are at the central core of political parties, describing these activists is essential for understanding parties and the political process in general. The description and analysis are based on the results of a survey of the 1987 Liberal leadership Convention conducted by several members of the Political Science Department at the University of British Columbia, including the author. The resulting information was collated and analyzed then compared with the accepted wisdom concerning Liberal supporters in British Columbia. This thesis reveals the Liberal Party activists in British Columbia to be quite typical of activists found in other parties in Canada. As a result of the party's centre position in the polarized politics of this province, it does tend to attract activists disenchanted with this style of politics. This results in a heterogeneous collection of beliefs amongst activists. The success of the federal Liberal Party and the importance of many federal issues for Liberal Party sympathizers encourages provincial activists to adopt a federal oriented perspective on politics. This is at odds with the two major parties in British Columbia.

description: In this article, we prove the existence of solutions to a nonlinear nonlocal elliptic problem with a singualrity and a discontinuous critical nonlinearity which is given as follows. \begin{align} \begin{split}\label{main_prob} (-Δ)_p^su&=μg(x,u)+\fracλ{u^γ}+H(u-α)u^{p_s^*-1},~\text{in}~Ω u&>0,~\text{in}~Ω, u&=0,~\text{in}~\mathbb{R}^N\setminusΩ, \end{split} \end{align} where $Ω\subset\mathbb{R}^N$ is a bounded domain with Lipschitz boundary, $s\in (0,1)$, $20$, $α\geq 0$ is real, $H$ is the Heaviside function, i.e. $H(a)=0$ if $a\leq 0$, $H(a)=1$ if $a>0$ and $p_s^*=\frac{Np}{N-sp}$ is the fractional critical Sobolev exponent. Under suitable assumptions on the function $g$, we prove the existence of solution to the problem. Furthermore, we show that as $α\rightarrow0^+$, the sequence of solutions of $\eqref{main_prob}$ for each such $α$ converges to a solution of the problem for which $α=0$.

description: Recent calculations of the recoil velocity in black-hole binary mergers have found kick velocities of $\approx2500 $km/s for equal-mass binaries with anti-aligned initial spins in the orbital plane. In general the dynamics of spinning black holes can be extremely complicated and are difficult to analyze and understand. In contrast, the ``superkick'' configuration is an example with a high degree of symmetry that also exhibits exciting physics. We exploit the simplicity of this ``test case'' to study more closely the role of spin in black-hole recoil and find that: the recoil is with good accuracy proportional to the difference between the $(l = 2, m = \pm 2)$ modes of $Ψ_4$, the major contribution to the recoil occurs within $30M$ before and after the merger, and that this is after the time at which a standard post-Newtonian treatment breaks down. We also discuss consequences of the $(l = 2, m = \pm 2)$ asymmetry in the gravitational wave signal for the angular dependence of the SNR and the mismatch of the gravitational wave signals corresponding to the north and south poles.

description: Neutron star (NS) is a unique astronomical compact object where the four fundamental interactions have been revealed from the observation and studied in different ways. While the macroscopic properties of NS like mass and radius can be determined within the General Relativity using a realistic equation of state (EOS) of NS matter, such an EOS is usually generated by a nuclear structure model like, e.g., the nuclear mean-field approach to asymmetric nuclear matter. Given the radius of NS extended to above 10 km and its mass up to twice the solar mass, NS is expected to be tidally deformed when it is embedded in a strong tidal field. Such a tidal effect was confirmed unambiguously in the gravitation wave signals detected recently by the LIGO and Virgo laser interferometers from GW170817, the first ever direct observation of a binary NS merger. A nonrelativistic mean-field study is carried out in the present work within the Hartree-Fock formalism to construct the EOS of NS matter, which is then used to determine the tidal deformability, gravitational mass, and radius of NS. The mean-field results are compared with the constraints imposed for these quantities by the global analysis of the observed GW170817 data, and a strong impact by the incompressibility of nuclear matter on the hydrostatic configuration of NS is shown.

description: We present an open-source, performant, pure-python molecular dynamics (MD) suite for non-ideal plasmas. The code, Sarkas, aims to accelerate the research process by providing an MD code but also pre- and post-processing tools. Sarkas offers the ease of use of Python while employing the Numba library to obtain execution speeds comparable to that of compiled languages. The available tools in Sarkas include graphical displays of the equilibration process through a Jupyter interface and the ability to compute quantities such as, radial distribution functions, autocorrelation functions and Green-Kubo relations. Many force laws used to simulate plasmas are included in Sarkas, namely, pure Coulomb, Yukawa, and Molière pair-potentials. Sarkas also contains quantum statistical potentials and fast Ewald methods are included where necessary. An object-oriented approach allows for easy modification of Sarkas, such as adding new time integrators, boundary conditions and force laws.

description: In $\XQM$, a quark can emit Goldstone bosons. The flavor symmetry breaking in the Goldstone boson emission process is used to intepret the nucleon flavor-spin structure. In this paper, we study the inner structure of constituent quarks implied in $\XQM$ caused by the Goldstone boson emission process in nucleon. From a simplified model Hamiltonian derived from $\XQM$, the intrinsic wave functions of constituent quarks are determined. Then the obtained transition probabilities of the emission of Goldstone boson from a quark can give a reasonable interpretation to the flavor symmetry breaking in nucleon flavor-spin structure.

description: Objective: Examine white blood cell (WBC) proportions across preeclamptic (n = 28 cases) and normotensive (n = 28 controls) pregnancy in individuals with overweight/obesity. Methods: WBC proportions were inferred from genome-wide DNA methylation data and compared by case/control status and self-identified race. Results: In Trimester 1, ean B cell proportions were suggestively lower in cases in the overall sample and significantly lower in White participants but not in Black participants. More significant WBC proportion changes were observed across normotensive than preeclamptic pregnancy. Conclusions: These findings in a small sample demonstrate need for additional studies investigating the relationship between self-identified race and WBCs in pregnancy.

description: In a very recent accomplishment, the two-dimensional form of Biphenylene network (BPN) has been successfully fabricated [Fan et al., Science, 372, 852-856 (2021)]. Motivated by this exciting experimental result on 2D layered BPN structure, herein we perform detailed density functional theory-based first-principles calculations, for the first time, in order to gain insight into the structural, electronic and optical properties of this promising nanomaterial. Our theoretica results reveal the BPN structure is constructed from three rings of tetragon, hexagon and octagon, meanwhile the electron localization function shows very strong bonds between the C atoms in the structure. The dynamical stability of BPN is verified via the phonon band dispersion calculations. The mechanical properties reveal the brittle behavior of BPN monolayer. The Youngs modulus has been computed as 0.1 TPa, which is smaller than the corresponding value of graphene, while the Poissons ratio determined to be 0.26 is larger than that of graphene. The band structure is evaluated to show the electronic features of the material; determining the BPN monolayer as metallic with a band gap of zero. The optical properties (real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function, and the absorption spectrum) uncover BPN as an insulator along the zz direction, while owning metallic properties in xx and yy directions. We anticipate that our discoveries will pave the way to the successful implementation of this new 2D allotrope of carbon in advanced nanoelectronics.

description: Apoptosis is involved in pathogenesis of Pre-eclampsia (PE), further research is needed to determine its molecular mechanism. The study recruited two groups (controls; 09, PE; 11). Biochemical tests, RT-PCR and ELISA were employed for analysis of genes and MicroRNAs (miRNA). Bioinformatics tools were employed for interactomics analysis. There was increased apoptosis in maternal placental tissue (MPT) and Maternal Blood Cells (MBC) as demonstrated by expression of CASP3 and NF-κB1. miR-146-5p and 187-5p were downregulated in MBC and MPT but upregulated in fetal placental tissue (FPT).. An increased apoptosis in MBC and MPT is a significant contributory factor for PE in pregnancy, while FPT is immune to the aforementioned effects.

description: We present a study on the spatially scanned spectroscopic observations of the transit of GJ 1132 b, a warm ($\sim$500 K) Super-Earth (1.13 R$_\oplus$) that was obtained with the G141 grism (1.125 - 1.650 $μ$m) of the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope. We used the publicly available Iraclis pipeline to extract the planetary transmission spectra from the five visits and produce a precise transmission spectrum. We analysed the spectrum using the TauREx3 atmospheric retrieval code with which we show that the measurements do not contain molecular signatures in the investigated wavelength range and are best-fit with a flat-line model. Our results suggest that the planet does not have a clear primordial, hydrogen-dominated atmosphere. Instead, GJ 1132 b could have a cloudy hydrogen-dominated envelope, a very enriched secondary atmosphere, be airless, or have a tenuous atmosphere that has not been detected. Due to the narrow wavelength coverage of WFC3, these scenarios cannot be distinguished yet but the James Webb Space Telescope may be capable of detecting atmospheric features, although several observations may be required to provide useful constraints.

description: Актуальность тематики учебного пособия связана с тем, что на сегодняшний день наше государство достаточно много внимания уделяет проблемам развития бизнеса и экономики страны, кроме того, акцент в вопросе развития делается на использовании современных концепций менеджмента – концепции реинжиниринга (перестройки бизнес-процессов), концепции внутренних рынков корпораций, концепции экологически осознанного руководства, концепции социально ответственного бизнеса. И если первым двум концепциям посвящено достаточно большое количество пособий и научных публикаций, то две оставшиеся концепции остаются в достаточной мере неизученными. Особо остро вопрос поиска новых путей развития современного бизнеса встает в связи с резким проявлением в течение последних лет стимула для активации процессов реиндустриализации экономики России. Это, в первую очередь, связано с введением и действием европейских санкций и, как следствие, необходимостью проведения импортозамещения не только продовольственных товаров, но и высокотехнологичной продукции. Проблема низкой эффективности реализуемой экономической модели и соответствующих моделей ведения современного бизнеса в нашей стране объективно признается как теоретиками, так и практиками экономической мысли. На сегодняшний день существуют различные подходы к организации и реализации процесса модернизации предприятий и поиска путей развития бизнеса, которые представлены в учебном пособии. Учебное пособие составлено в соответствии с рабочей программой дисциплины «Развитие современного бизнеса» и предназначено для подготовки студентов направления 38.03.02 «Менеджмент» всех форм обучения.

description: We investigate the effect of tuning the phonon energy on the correlation effects in models of electron-phonon interactions using DMFT. In the regime where itinerant electrons, instantaneous electron-phonon driven correlations and static distortions compete on similar energy scales, we find several interesting results including (1) A crossover from band to Mott behavior in the spectral function, leading to hybrid band/Mott features in the spectral function for phonon frequencies slightly larger than the band width. (2) Since the optical conductivity depends sensitively on the form of the spectral function, we show that such a regime should be observable through the low frequency form of the optical conductivity. (3) The resistivity has a double kondo peak arrangement

description: We present a search for the rare decays B -> h(*) nu nubar, where h(*) stands for a light meson. A data sample of 535 million BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider is used. Signal candidates are required to have an accompanying B meson fully reconstructed in a hadronic mode and signal-side particles consistent with a single h(*) meson. No significant signal is observed and we set upper limits on the branching fractions at 90% confidence level. The limits on B0 -> K*0 nu nubar and B+ -> K+ nu nubar decays are more stringent than the previous constraints, while the first searches for B0 -> K0 nu nubar, pi0 nu nubar, rho0 nu nubar, phi nu nubar and B+ -> K*+ nu nubar, rho+ nu nubar are reported.

A study of the impact and value of a personal development program on adolescents
Creators: name: Scotten, Sandey A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Adolescence has been characterized as a formative time of stress, anxiety, and change. Any index of adolescent development confirms the fact that this is a difficult developmental period. Youths are dealing with demands from a myriad of directions and thus require guidance and skill to optimally grow through this stage. An affective, personal development program designed to address adolescent needs is investigated in this study. Although the literature supports the need for affective, developmental education, little empirical evidence exists to document the impact, value and validity of such educational programs. This study tested a hypothesis that an affective, personal development program would enhance the overall psychological well-being of adolescent participants. A secondary hypothesis was that this educational training would have a differential outcome for gender. Sixty nine subjects, aged fourteen to nineteen, completed the Personal Orientation Inventory: 37 females, 26 males, and 6 returnees. The POI is purported to measure positive mental health; the interviews and questionnaires were designed to reflect the participants' self-perceived gains. Statistical analyses indicated significant positive changes on all POI scales for the pooled male and female scores. Gender differences were found, favoring females, on the two POI major scales and six of the ten subscales. All findings, qualitative and quantitative, indicate that an affective personal development program does enhance personal and interpersonal growth, thus the overall psychological well-being of adolescents. This program, although beneficial to both males and females, appears to have a more favorable outcome for females.
Stochastic resonance in periodically driven bistable systems subjected to anomalous diffusion

description: The occurrence of stochastic resonance in bistable systems undergoing anomalous diffusions, which arise from density-dependent fluctuations, is investigated with emphasis on the analytical formulation of the problem as well as a possible analytical derivation of key quantifiers of stochastic resonance. The nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation describing the system dynamics, together with the corresponding Ito-Langevin equation, are formulated. In the linear-response regime analytical expressions of the spectral amplification, of the signal-to-noise ratio and of the hysteresis loop area are derived as quantifiers of stochastic resonance. These quantifiers are found to be strongly dependent on the parameters controlling the type of diffusion, in particular the peak characterizing the signal-to-noise ratio occurs only in close ranges of parameters. Results introduce the relevant information that taking into consideration the interactions of anomalous diffusive systems with a periodic signal, can provide a better understanding of the physics of stochastic resonance in bistable systems driven by periodic forces.

description: We show that crystal can trap a broad (x, x', y, y', E) distribution of particles and channel it preserved with a high precision. This sampled-and-hold distribution can be steered by a bent crystal for analysis downstream. In simulations for the 7 TeV Large Hadron Collider, a crystal adapted to the accelerator lattice traps 90% of diffractively scattered protons emerging from the interaction point with a divergence 100 times the critical angle. We set the criterion for crystal adaptation improving efficiency ~100-fold. Proton angles are preserved in crystal transmission with accuracy down to 0.1 microrad. This makes feasible a crystal application for measuring very forward protons at the LHC.

description: We present predictions for the distribution of rapidity gaps in realistic kinematics of future electron-ion colliders, based on numerical solutions of the original Kovchegov-Levin equation and of its next-to-leading extension taking into account the running of the strong coupling. We find that for the rapidities we have considered, the fixed and the running coupling equations lead to different distributions, rather insensitive to the chosen prescription in the running coupling case. The obtained distributions for the fixed coupling framework exhibit a shape characteristic of a recently proposed partonic picture of diffractive dissociation already at rapidities accessible at future electron-ion colliders. The modification of this shape in the running coupling case can also be understood qualitatively from that picture. Our results confirm the relevance of measurements of such observables for the microscopic understanding of diffractive dissociation in the framework of quantum chromodynamics.

description: In order to adequately describe molecular rotation far from equilibrium, we have generalized the J-diffusion model by allowing the rotational relaxation rate to be angular momentum dependent. The calculated nonequilibrium rotational correlation functions (CFs) are shown to decay much slower than their equilibrium counterparts, and orientational CFs of hot molecules exhibit coherent behavior, which persists for several rotational periods. As distinct from the results of standard theories, rotational and orientational CFs are found to dependent strongly on the nonequilibrium preparation of the molecular ensemble. We predict the Arrhenius energy dependence of rotational relaxation times and violation of the Hubbard relations for orientational relaxation times. The standard and generalized J-diffusion models are shown to be almost indistinguishable under equilibrium conditions. Far from equilibrium, their predictions may differ dramatically.

description: We show that the manifestation of quantum interference in graphene is very different from that in conventional two-dimensional systems. Due to the chiral nature of charge carriers, it is sensitive not only to inelastic, phase-breaking scattering, but also to a number of elastic scattering processes. We study weak localization in different samples and at different carrier densities, including the Dirac region, and find the characteristic rates that determine it. We show how the shape and quality of graphene flakes affect the values of the elastic and inelastic rates and discuss their physical origin.

description: Neutrino oscillation physics has entered a new precision era, which poses major challenges to the level of control and diagnostics of the neutrino beams. In this paper, we review the design of high-precision beams, their current limitations, and the latest techniques envisaged to overcome such limits. We put emphasis on "monitored neutrino beams" and advanced diagnostics to determine the flux and flavor of the neutrinos produced at the source at the per-cent level. We also discuss ab-initio measurements of the neutrino energy -- i.e. measurements performed without relying on the event reconstruction at the neutrino detector -- to remove any flux-induced bias in the determination of the cross sections.

description: Im Rahmen des Programms Hamburg Open Science (HOS) erfolgte im Jahre 2018 die Entwicklung zweier prototypischer Forschungsdatenrepositorien durch die Technische Universität Hamburg und die Universität Hamburg, auf Basis DSpace CRIS (TUHH) und Invenio/Zenodo (UHH). Mit der Version 0.9 bilden diese Prototypen alle notwendigen Funktionen ab, die für den zukünftigen Betrieb erforderlich sind. Die Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften Hamburg wurde im Rahmen des Programms mit der Durchführung von Usability Tests beauftragt. Mit dem Ziel, eine hohe Usability und gleichermaßen große User-Acceptance im späteren Betrieb sicherzustellen, wurden umfangreiche Usability Tests auf Basis einer Methodenkombination zwischen einer heuristischen Evaluation und einer Thinking Aloud Methode durchgeführt. Der Ergebnisbericht dient als Grundlage für beide Institutionen, die Prototypen in Sachen Anwenderfreundlichkeit und -akzeptanz zu verbessern, um einen erfolgreichen Rollout und reibungslosen Betrieb sicherzustellen. Beide Prototypen zeigen Potenziale zur Optimierung in Bezug auf User Acceptance und sollten priorisiert nach Schweregrad und Auswirkung verbessert in eine finale Version münden.

Soliton turbulences in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation

description: We study spatio-temporal chaos in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation in parameter regions of weak amplification and viscosity. Turbulent states involving many soliton-like pulses appear in the parameter range, because the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation is close to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We find that the distributions of amplitude and wavenumber of pulses depend only on the ratio of the two parameters of the amplification and the viscosity. This implies that a one-parameter family of soliton turbulence states characterized by different distributions of the soliton parameters exists continuously around the completely integrable system.

description: We propose an extrapolation technique that allows accuracy improvement of the discrete dipole approximation computations. The performance of this technique was studied empirically based on extensive simulations for 5 test cases using many different discretizations. The quality of the extrapolation improves with refining discretization reaching extraordinary performance especially for cubically shaped particles. A two order of magnitude decrease of error was demonstrated. We also propose estimates of the extrapolation error, which were proven to be reliable. Finally we propose a simple method to directly separate shape and discretization errors and illustrated this for one test case.

description: The Hohenberg-Martin dilemma of conserving versus gapless theories for systems with Bose-Einstein condensate is considered. This dilemma states that, generally, a theory characterizing a system with broken global gauge symmetry, which is necessary for Bose-Einstein condensation, is either conserving, but has a gap in its spectrum, or is gapless, but does not obey conservation laws. In other words, such a system either displays a gapless spectrum, which is necessary for condensate existence, but is not conserving, which implies that it corresponds to an unstable system, or it respects conservation laws, describing a stable system, but the spectrum acquires a gap, which means that the condensate cannot appear. An approach is described, resolving this dilemma, and it is shown to give good quantitative agreement with experimental data. Calculations are accomplished in the Hartree-Fock-Bogolubov approximation.

NATO and the INF controversy : nuclear weapons, deterrence, and the Atlantic Alliance
Creators: name: Sens, Allen Gregory
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Force (INF) controversy was one of the most intense intra-Alliance debates experienced by NATO. The depth of the dispute, especially between the US and the European NATO members, threatened the very unity and cohesion of the Alliance itself. The INF controversy was the result of two factors: first, the establishment of strategic parity by the Soviet Union which brought into question the credibility of the US security guarantee to Europe; and second, the widening gap in the political and strategic interests of the US and its European allies. These factors combined to produce the two central--and conflicting--forces at work during the INF debate. The Europeans sought strategic reassurance, in the form of theatre-nuclear systems, to restore the integrity of the seamless web of deterrence. The divergence of political and strategic interests between the US and Europe, however, meant conflict over the posture and character of any new force. In the interests of preserving the unity of the Alliance, these problems were "solved" in typical Alliance fashion; through compromising to a consensus. The December 12 decision was based on erroneous and outdated conceptions of the significance of nuclear weapons for deterrence in Europe. What NATO planners, and many western analysts, have failed to recognize is the diminishing effectiveness of US nuclear weapons in maintaining effective deterrence in Western Europe. Deterrence in Europe is not primarily dependent on US nuclear forces and the threat of deliberate nuclear escalation they imply. Rather, deterrence in Europe should be understood as a compound product of many risk factors. Henceforth, thinking about NATO's deterrent requirements must recognize the limited utility of successive deployments of US nuclear forces as a deterrent. Greater reliance must be placed on the deterrent value of other risk factors which exist in the European theatre, most notably the increasingly powerful and discriminating capabilities of the French and British nuclear forces.

description: Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) is a promising technology for green hydrogen production, although its widespread development with state‐of‐the‐art loadings is threatened by the scarcity of iridium (Ir). Homogeneous dispersion of Ir in an immiscible electro‐ceramic matrix can enhance catalytic mass activity and structural stability. The study presents IrySn₀.₉(₁₋y)Sb₀.₁(₁₋y)Oₓ solid solutions produced by highly scalable flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) process as efficient anode electrocatalysts for PEMWE, containing only 0.2 mg cm⁻² of Ir in the catalyst layer (CL). Intense mixing of metal vapor and large thermal gradients in the precursor‐derived high‐temperature flame aids stabilizing sub‐nanoscale entropic mixing within self‐preserved 4–6 nm particles. Detailed investigations confirm that the one‐step prepared solid solution electrocatalysts exhibit up to fourfold higher activity toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) compared to Ir black. The anode of a PEMWE utilizing this catalyst exhibits high performance and stability over 2000 h but with tenfold lower Ir loading than the state‐of‐art.
