<p>To mitigate global problems related to energy and global warming, it is helpful to develop an ammonia synthesis process using catalysts that are highly active under mild conditions. Here we show that the ammonia synthesis activity of Ru/Ba/LaCeO<i><sub>x</sub></i> pre-reduced at 700 °C is the highest reported among oxide-supported Ru catalysts. Our results indicate that low crystalline oxygen-deficient composite oxides, which include Ba<sup>2+</sup>, Ce<sup>3+</sup> and La<sup>3+</sup>, with strong electron-donating ability, accumulate on Ru particles and thus promote N≡N bond cleavage, which is the rate determining step for ammonia synthesis.</p>

Abstract In this paper a methodology for the specification stage in conceptual design is presented. It allows for problem solving in an active interaction with the designer. An important part of the proposed methodology is the requiremental and functional tree representing the overall logic and structure of the design problem. The specification stage aims at providing requirements and transforming them into functions of the designed object. It occurs at the highest level of abstraction and it must provide enough information to begin the synthesis process where functions are transformed into design components that are further synthesized into the designed object. The proposed approach was motivated by the following problems: specification of requirements, specification of functions, incorporation of logic into functional and requiremental trees, representation of requirements-functions interaction, and optimization in the functional space. The methodology presented is illustrated with examples.

AbstractThe influence of chromium compounds on the properties of cobalt molybdenum nitrides was studied. CoMoO4 obtained by precipitation from cobalt and molybdenum salts was modified by the addition of chromium(III) nitrate. A mixture of cobalt-molybdenum nitrides, Co2Mo3N and Co3Mo3N, was formed by ammonolysis of modified CoMoO4. The concentration of Co2Mo3N decreases with increasing chromium content. The specific surface area of cobalt molybdenum nitrides consisting of 2 wt% of Cr atoms increased by 50% in comparison to pure cobalt molybdenum nitrides. The catalytic activity of obtained catalysts in ammonia synthesis process decreases with rising of chromium concentration.

In this paper, a methodology for the specification stage in conceptual design is presented. The specification stage provides requirements and transforms them into functions of the designed object. It occurs at the highest level of abstraction and it must provide enough information for the synthesis process where functions are transformed into design components that are further synthesized into the designed object. The proposed approach includes the following issues: specification of requirements, specification of functions, incorporation of logic into functional and requirement trees, representation of requirements-functions interaction, and optimization in the functional space. The methodology presented is illustrated with examples. Key words: design requirements, design specifications, conceptual design, design process, artificial intelligence, formal method
