Three series of binary metal oxide catalysts containing Ni, Cu, or Co oxides were prepared, fully characterized and tested in CO oxidation.The catalysts, with a constant transition metal loading of 10 wt%, were prepared from metal nitrates and urea mixtures by a microwave-assisted solution combustion method.The RV/OV ratio, corresponding to the sto

A practical approach to understanding lateral asymmetries in body, brain, and cognition would be to examine the performance advantages/disadvantages associated with the corresponding functions and behavior.In the present study, we examined whether the division of labor in hand usage, marked by the preferential usage of the two hands across manual o

Variation in food stoichiometry affects individual performance and population dynamics, but it is also likely that species with different life histories should differ in their sensitivity to food stoichiometry.To address this question, we investigated the ability of the three nettle-feeding butterflies (Aglais urticae, Polygonia c-album, and Aglais

The advent of distributed renewable energy sources (DRESs) has led to the progressive transformation of traditional distribution networks to active components of the power system.This transformation, however, may jeopardize the reliable grid operation due to the advent of new technical problems, such as network overloading, over-/under-voltage even

Brain regions contain diverse populations of neurons that project to different long-range targets.The study of these subpopulations in circuit function and behavior requires a toolkit to characterize and manipulate their activity in vivo.We have developed a novel set of reagents based on Pseudorabies Virus (PRV) for efficient and long-term genetic
