Within the NEXUS activity, aimed at strengthening the interaction of European industry and institutes in microsystems technology, user-supplier clubs (USC) are formed as one means for joint developments (for the USC for CAD tools see [240] for the MikroWebFab see [245]). This should serve to promote the industrial uptake, by bridging the gap also to new potential users. 

Metal-modified silicas were exposed to excess BuOOH vapor in order to generate the supported feri-butylperoxide complexes, followed by evacuation to remove PrOH and unreacted BuOOH. Reaction kinetics were monitored as the uptake of cyclohexene from the gas phase, using a ThermoNicolet Nexus FTIR spectrometer to measure the intensity of the o(C=C) mode. In situ spectra were recorded in custom-made glass reactors under vacuum. Formation of cyclohexene oxide was confirmed by GC/MS on an HP 6890 equipped with a DBI capillary column (J W Scientific).

Fortunately, increasing energy access, alleviating rural poverty, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions can all be complementary, their overlap defining an energy-poverty-climate nexus.

This approach is intuitively appealing to most users, because it promises easy access to toxicological knowledge, and some of the most used predictive toxicology software tools are in fact Expert Systems [e.g., Derek Nexus (https //www. lhasalimited.org/) and Toxtree (http //toxtree.sourceforge.net/)].

On several occasions, the reader will notice a direct connection between the topics covered in the book and other, related areas of statistical mechanics, such as the methodology of computer simulations, nonequilibrium dynamics or chemical kinetics. This is hardly a surprise because free energy calculations are at the nexus of statistical mechanics of condensed phases.

NEXUS is a network of experts aimed to introduce more microsystems in the industrial applications. NEXUS operates within industrial and academic organisations, primarily in Europe, but also has significant high-level membership from other continents, including USA and Far East Asia. 

In its starting period, about one decade ago, NEXUS was mainly driven by academic members, working on dissemination of information on technical developments and market possibilities. Industrial interest soon expanded the network and the current membership now exceeds 1000. Since mid-2001 the NEXUS network has been transformed into the NEXUS Associatiorf based in Grenoble, France. NEXUS activities continue to be strongly supported by the European Commission and MEMS/MST-related industry. 

The NEXUS Market Analysis for Microsystems was initiated in 1998 and the first edition published in 2000. This second edition was published in Spring 2002, covering the period to the year 2005. 

The NEXUS Technological Roadmap for Microsystems was published in Dec. 2000, with and updated and broadened report due in 2002/2003.

The NEXUS User-Supplier-Club Household Appliances was founded during the first European conference on Commercialisation of Microsystems" held in Dortmund in 1999. This Club has grown rapidly to a current membership of more than 40 from major and smaller appliance companies, sensor and MST supplier companies and from academic institutions all over Western Europe.
