By Scan Electron Microscope (SEM), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), BET, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, metal oxides attached to ceramic surface were found to be in the form of crystal cluster, and the pore structure of ceramics was less developed. The air flow statuses of vacant catazone and ozone contactors were inclined to be plug-flow and mixed flow, respectively. Comparing with ozonation process, the ozone mass transfer efficiency of catazone process is lower, and the ozone decomposition efficiency of catazone is higher. The former effect is more obvious in semi-batch experiment, and the latter effect is more obvious in continuous-flow experiment. Unsaturated organics removal efflciencies of the two oxidation processes are similar, and are less affected by dissolved ozone concentration when it is higher than 1 mg/L. More dissolved organics were detected in catazone process in continuous.flow reaction, and more CH3CI3 formation potential (CH3CI3FP) was removed by catazone in semi-batch mode, especially in the water with lower UV254 .展开更多

Yet, to date, we have been unable to do so. Hate crimes are the subject of research and comments by experts in various fields. In this regard, most scholars agree that a hate based crime is distinguished from a "regular" criminal offence by the motive--the attack is aimed at a victim who is part of a differentiated minority group. However, when reading the relevant documents in the area, it seems that the differences between the experts start at the most basic point--what constitutes hate crimes? This article analyses the concept of "hate crimes" via an interdisciplinary approach aimed at flashing out the fundamental gaps in the research. We have found that the problems include, inter alia, discrepancies in the definition of hate crimes, methodological difficulties regarding validity and legitimacy (mainly due to the absence of information based on the attacker's point of view) and the lack of agreement on the appropriate legal methods required to deal with the ramifications of hate crimes. While part I of this paper revolves around the theoretical aspects of the questions put forth at the centre of this article, part II looks at the same questions from a legal viewpoint. The correlation between the two chapters shows the impact the methodological difficulties have on enforcement endeavors. This relation is further advanced through the examination of test cases from different countries, among them--lsrael. Finally, the article concludes by suggesting a few thoughts on the way to overcome the theoretical problems and making the enforcement efforts more efficient.展开更多
