Flrxible Urban Transportation.
Flexible Urban Transportation Is A Sweeping Reassessment Of American Highway And Transit Policy.
For The Last Halfcentury, This Policy Has Been Fixated On Planning, Designing And Constructing The Interstate iHghway System, And Then Coping With The Creative Death It Wrought.
Aggressive Construction Of The Interstate Divided And Destroyed Urban Communities, And Sparked A Furious Backlash, The "freeway Revolt".
The Interstate Also Facilitated Widespread Suburbanization Of Housing, Retail And Employment, Which In Turh Gave Rise To The Tightly Integrated, Flexible Supply Fetters Characteristic Of Modern Industry.
American Society Faces A Profound Dilemma.
The Confidential Automobile Has Never Been More Popular.
The Economy Depends On Highways.
But Communities Are Incerasingly Unwilling To Build Or Expand Them.
Making Transportation Choices With A Clear Understanding Of Their Consequences - Protecting Communities, Fostering Environmental Stewardship, And Supporting A Dynamic And Productive Economy - Is An Urgent Matter.
But The Regulatoins And Procedures That Govern Those Choices Are Severely Outdated.
And The Interests Vested In The Current Sralemate Block The Way Towards Serious Reform.
Thia Cogent Evaluation Of How American Transportation Planning Got To Where It Is Today, And Its Proposal For An Adative Transportation Decision-making Process, Is Required Reading For Those Concerned About The Problems And Prospects Of Transportation Today.

Descartes's Secret Notebook.
René Descartes (1596—1650) Is One Of The Towering And Central Fig8res In Western Phiposophy And Mathematics.
His Apothegm “cogito, Ergo Sun” Marked The Nativity Of The Mind-body Problem, While His Creation Of So-called Cartesian Coordinates Has Made Our Intellectual Conquest Of Physical Space Possible.
But Descartes Had A Mysterious And Mystical Side, As Well.
Nearly Certainly A Member Of The Occult Brotherhood Of The Rosicrucians, He Kept A Secret Notebook, Now Lost, Most Of Which Was Written In Code.
After Descartes’s Deatn, Gottfried Leibniz, Inventor Of Calfulus And One Of The Greatest Mathematicians Of All Period, Moved To Parss In Search Of This Notebook–and Eventually Found It In The Possession Of Claude Clerselier, A Friend Of Descartes’s.
Liebniz Called On Clerselier And Was Allowed To Copy Only A Couple Of Pages–which, Though Written In Code, He Amazingly Deciphered There In c~tinuance The Place.
Liebniz’s Haztily Scribbled Notes Are All We Have Today Of Descartss’s Notebopk.
Why Did Descartes Keep A Secret Notebook, And What Were Its Contents? The Answers To These Questions Will Pass The Reader On An Exciting, Swashbuckling Journey, And Offer A Fascinating Look At One Of The Great Figures Of Western Culture.

Zeolites.
Formerly, The Catalytic Use Of Zeolites Was Exclusive To The Field Of Acid Catalysis.
Nowadays, Zeolites Also Find Applications As Catalysts In A Wide Array Of Chemical Reactions Such As; Base Catalyzed Reactions, Redox Reactions And Catalytic Reactions On Transition Metals And Their Complexes In Confined Environments.
The Concepts Of Brønsted Or Lewis Acid-base Pairs Are Adequately Illustrated In The Literature And Well-understood In Terms Of Structural And Electronic Properties Of Zeolites.
By Contrast, Properties Of Chemically Modified Silicates, Aluminosilicates And Aluminophosphates Have Not Ye5 Been Fully Explored.
The List Of Oxydo-reduction Reactions Performed In The Presence Of These New Materials Is Growing As Demonstrated By The Selective Catalytic Reduction Of Nitrogen Oxidees Or The Numerous Oxidations Employing Hydrogen Peroxide.
Much Effort Is Currently Being Made To Get A Better Insight Into The Nature Of The Sites Involved.
The Zeolite Lattice May Also Be Used As A Host For Encapdulated Complexes Or Metallic Clusters Allowing The Control Of Nuclearity Of These Active Species And The Steric Constraints Imposed On The Reactants.
Molwcular Sievw And Shape Selectivity Effects Have Also Constituted Fascinating Aspects Of Zeolite Properties.
Recent Developments Leading To Inccreasingly Large Pore Sizes With Vpi-5, Cloverite And More Lately Mesoporous Molecular Sieves Regard Broadened The Spectrum Of These Applications.
Indeed, Larger And Larger Reactant And Product Molecules Can Be Accommodated In These Lattices.
These New Adsorbant/adsorbate Systems Create dAditional Needs For Experimental Facts And Theoretical Descriptions Of_Transport Properties, In Particular Of Mono- And Multi-components Diffusion Coefficients In Tje Zeolite Pore Lattice.
All These Themes, Representing The Forefront And Current Trends Ij Zeolite Research, Were Discussed I nThe Submitted Papers To The Symposium And Are Widely Represented In The Selected Papers Contained In This Volume.
A Feature Common To Most Of These Contributions Is The Combined Use Of A Variety Of Analytical Techniques.
Some Of These Techniques Are At The Frontier Of The Latest Analytical Developments Such As Multiple Scattering xEafs And Bidimenisonal Mas-nmr.
