A Molecular Perspective on the d-Band Model: Synergy Between Experiment and Theory
The d-band model of Hammer and Nørskov (Nature 376:238, 1995 [3]) relating adsorption energies to the d-band position, and the adsorption energies to barriers in catalytic reactions, has been extremely successful...

Evaluation of measurement data for Cd, Cr and Pb in certain uncontaminated foodstuffs published in surveys: analytical quality vs. uncertainty of measurements
Results for Cd, Cr and Pb at trace levels, in the same type of uncontaminated foodstuffs, often vary with several orders of magnitude, which normally is not the case for metals occurring at macro levels. In th...
