Financial Dependence and Growth
- American Economic Review
, 1998
"... This paper examines whether nancial development facilitates economic growth by scrutinizing one rationale for such a relationship; that nancial development reduces the costs of external nance to rms. Speci cally, we ask whether industrial sectors that are relatively more in need of external nance de ..."

to the highest value use without substantial risk of loss through moral hazard, adverse selection, or transactions costs { are an essential catalyst of economic growth. Empirical work seems consistent with this argument. For example, on the
Banks as Catalysts for the Big Push
, 1995
"... A literature has developed to substantiate Rosenstein-Rodan's intuition that coordination of a critical mass of investments may induce industrialization through a `big push.' This literature has essentially ignored the question of what economic institutions may overcome the coordination fa ..."

Personalization Services in Argumentation Tools: a Catalyst for Learning
"... Abstract. Argumentation is considered as an essential element for effective learning since it enables learners to develop their points of view and refine their knowledge. Our aim being to facilitate CoP members as learners, we argue that argumentation tools should provide personalized features and f ..."

PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SYNTHETIC CARBON COATED MONOLITHIC CATALYSTS
"... Carbon coated ceramic monoliths based on polyfurfuryl alcohol are described. A single dipcoating step resulted in a carbon load, after carbonization, of ca. 13 wt%. The obtained carbon is essentially microporous. Mesoporosity can be introduced by adding a pore-forming agent (PEG-5000) to the startin ..."

CATALYST: Planning Layer Directives for Effective Design Closure
"... Abstract—For the last several technology generations, VLSI designs in new technology nodes have had to confront the challenges associated with reduced scaling in wire delays. The solution from industrial back-end-of-line process has been to add more and more thick metal layers to the wiring stacks. ..."
Abstract

. However, existing physical synthesis tools are usually not effective in handling these new thick layers for design closure. To fully leverage these degrees of freedom, it is essential for the design flow to provide better communication among the timer, the router, and different optimization engines
Covalency-reinforced oxygen evolution reaction catalyst
"... The oxygen evolution reaction that occurs during water oxidation is of considerable importance as an essential energy conversion reaction for rechargeable metal–air batteries and direct solar water splitting. Cost-efficient ABO3 perovskites have been studied extensively because of their high activit ..."

Effective reaction rates of a thin catalyst layer Effective reaction rates of a thin catalyst layer
"... Abstract: The catalyst layer in a fuel cell can be described with the help of a system of reaction diffusion equations for the protonic overpotential and the oxygen concentration. The Tafel equation gives an exponential law for the reaction rate, the Tafel slope is a coefficient in this law. We pre ..."

present a rigorous thin layer analysis for two reaction regimes. In the case of thin catalyst layers, the original Tafel slope enters an effective boundary condition. In the case of large protonic overpotentials we derive the effect of a double Tafel slope, essentially a consequence of a thin active

Thanks for cheering me up and for your kindness, I could not have gone this far without you. Thanks to my older brother Bernat Martinez for his friendship and for giving me priceless assistance
The Platinum-on-Carbon Catalyst System for Hydrogen Anodes I. Characterization of the Catalyst and Support
"... A high degree of hydrogen electrode activity in alkaline media can be achieved with less than 1 mg Pt/cm ~ of electrode, if a properly chosen carbon support is used. For a complete description of the plat inum-on-carbon catalyst systems, the physical and chemical states of both platinum and carbon m ..."
