Polyadic quantification in hybrid coordination

The aim of this paper is to provide a syntactico-semantic analysis of hybrid coordination, in which what is coordinated are phrases bearing different grammatical functions and different semantic roles. The proposed account improves on previous HPSG analyses by giving up the assumption that all conjuncts are dependents of the same head and, more importantly, by taking into account the syntax–semantics interface and providing semantic representations. This aspect of the analysis builds on and generalizes previous HPSG work on polyadic quantification.

Electrocatalytic, photocatalytic, fluorescence sensing and CO2RR properties of a series of homopolymolybdate hybrid coordination polymers

By using three different organic ligands, four homopolymolybdate based coordination polymers were successfully synthesized, namely [Cu(MET)2][H2(γ-Mo8O26)] (1), [Zn(MET)2(H2O)2][H2(γ-Mo8O26)] (2), [Cu2(pca)2(H2O)4(β-Mo8O26)0.5]·H2O (3) and [Cu(bpy)(Mo2O7)] (4) (MET = 4-(3-imidazol-1-yl-ethyl)-4H-[1,3,4]triazole, pca = 2-pyrazinecarboxylic...

Hybrid coordination of city organisations: The rule of people and culture in the shadow of structures

Under far-reaching reforms, many cities have delegated core tasks previously delivered by their administrations to independent organisations that they formally own, e.g. municipal companies, or supervise, e.g. municipal trust funds. The coordination of these (as we call them) ‘domestic’ city organisations has proven challenging. Extant literature argues that such coordination is achieved through a mix of various hierarchical, market and network mechanisms. Yet it is unclear how these modes are combined. Addressing this gap, we ask: How do governance modes interact in the hybrid coordination of domestic city organisations? Analysing the case of Vienna, where 100 domestic organisations employ about 60,000 people, we find that while cultural mechanisms, rooted in the network mode, are predominant, they unfold in the shadow of latent structural mechanisms, which are associated with hierarchy and market. In the background, structural mechanisms keep cultural coordination effective, while cultural mechanisms allow structural coordination to remain (generally) hidden. This study aims to contribute to the literature on the governance of public organisations by exploring the relationship between governance modes as well as furthering urban governance studies by applying insights from studies on the coordination of public organisations to the city context.
