15 Feb 2007TL;DR: A definition of intuitivity is given and a continuum of knowledge serving as a classification for intuitive interaction is presented: image schemas and their metaphorical extensions.
Abstract: One of the goals of tangible interaction is to build more intuitive interfaces. This paper gives a definition of intuitivity and presents a continuum of knowledge serving as a classification for intuitive interaction. Against the background of the continuum recent taxonomies for tangible interaction are reviewed. A new approach for classifying tangible interaction will be presented: image schemas and their metaphorical extensions. Motivated by linguistic studies of meaning this taxonomy is able to overcome some limitations of previous approaches. The taxonomy is illustrated with examples of using image schemas and their metaphorical extensions in potential TUI applications. A more complex example, the Tangible Memories Box, shows how our taxonomy and earlier approaches may complement each other.

TL;DR: It was concluded that the catalytic formation of methanol over ZnO is a structure-sensitive reaction requiring the presence of polarZnO facets, and the rational design of catalysts is still out of reach.
Abstract: Metal oxides are highly important as components in heterogeneous catalysts. It is also well established that as the building blocks of nanoscaled materials get smaller, surfaces become increasingly important in determining their properties. Very early on, researchers found that catalytic activity is only indirectly related to the surface area; in fact it depends on the density of active sites. Although solid-state defects have been proposed to be the active sites in heterogeneous catalysis, active centers have rarely been conclusively identified and the rational design of catalysts is still out of reach. Processes in heterogeneous catalysis associated with the production of energy-storage molecules, for example, methanol as a storage molecule for hydrogen, is presently of great interest. Low-pressure production of methanol is conducted industrially with catalysts containing Cu and ZnO as the active phases and alumina as the support. Composites (Cu + ZnO), however, exhibit higher activities than that expected based on the performance of the single components. This was attributed to a strong metal–support interaction (SMSI) effect. Nevertheless, the active sites in Cu/ZnO and even in the pure ZnO have not yet been identified experimentally. Some important information concerning pure ZnO catalysts is already available: Generally, the catalytic activity of ZnO does not increase linearly with the increasing BET surface area. It was concluded that the catalytic formation of methanol over ZnO is a structure-sensitive reaction requiring the presence of polar ZnO facets. According to the most recent models of the methanol-synthesis reaction on the polar ZnO(0001) surface, oxygen vacancies formed on this surface of ZnO crystals serve as the active sites (Scheme 1). However, there has been no definite experimental proof for this assumption.

TL;DR: It is found that spelling errors, text length and the mentioning of positive emotion evoking keywords predict the funding probability on the less restrictive of both platforms, which even accepts applications without credit scores.
Abstract: We examine the relation of soft factors that are derived from the description texts to the probability of successful funding and to the default probability in peer-to-peer lending for two leading European platforms. We find that spelling errors, text length and the mentioning of positive emotion evoking keywords predict the funding probability on the less restrictive of both platforms, which even accepts applications without credit scores. This platform also shows a better risk-return profile. Conditional on being funded, text-related factors hardly predict default probabilities in peer-to-peer lending for both platforms.
