An Overview of Recent Development in Composite Catalysts from Porous Materials for Various Reactions and Processes

Catalysts are important to the chemical industry and environmental remediation due to their effective conversion of one chemical into another. Among them, composite catalysts have attracted continuous attention during the past decades. Nowadays, composite catalysts are being used more and more to meet the practical catalytic performance requirements in the chemical industry of high activity, high selectivity and good stability. In this paper, we reviewed our recent work on development of composite catalysts, mainly focusing on the composite catalysts obtained from porous materials such as zeolites, mesoporous materials, carbon nanotubes (CNT), etc. Six types of porous composite catalysts are discussed, including amorphous oxide modified zeolite composite catalysts, zeolite composites prepared by co-crystallization or overgrowth, hierarchical porous catalysts, host-guest porous composites, inorganic and organic mesoporous composite catalysts, and polymer/CNT composite catalysts

Trustees Under the Financial Services Act: Quo Vadis?

The in-depth reform of Switzerland's fnancial market regulatory and supervisory framework is now well underway and will take effect upon entry into force of the Financial Institutions Act and Financial Services Act. Publication of the fnal versions of the Acts and their respective Ordinances is expected to occur this year, with entry into force now scheduled for 1 January 2020. Notwithstanding the significant and steady progress made in agreeing upon and clarifying the terms of the Acts as well as understanding their implications, the future reception of trustees under the Financial Services Act remains unclear for many professionals within the trust industry and financial industry at large. The purpose of this article is to explore and reflect on the different manners in which the Financial Services Act is likely to affect and shape the business carried out by trustees. It also aims at discussing possible interpretations of the legislation and suggesting further avenues for reflection

Trustees in Switzerland: The Office of Trustee Under the (Draft) Financial Institutions Act

The Swiss authorities engaged in an ambitious enterprise when they included trustees in the (Draft) Financial Institutions Act. In effect, they undertook to comprehensively regulate and supervise an office centered around an institution not merely unknown under Swiss law, but also governed by underlying principles alien to its legal tradition. The implementation of this regulatory and supervisory framework requires a precise definition of the notion of trustee. The purpose of this article is to explore the definition of a trustee as currently outlined in the (Draft) Financial Institutions Act, reflect on which trust industry actors will require an authorization to carry out their activities in, within or from Switzerland following entry into force of the Act and present the upcoming applicable supervisory framework

A mathematical model of AV conduction in the rat heart. II. Quantification of concealed conduction

A mathematical model of A-V conduction in the rat heart has been developed which describes A-V junctional behaviour quantitatively during propagation, blocking, and concealed conduction of atrial impulses. The model enables prediction of the ventricular rhythm from atrial stimulation patterns, as well as definition of an atrial rhythm which might have caused a certain ventricular rhythm
