Learning theory: A driving force in understanding orbitofrontal function

A driving force.

Paul B. MacCready has a knack for knowing the difference between the impossible and that which is merely extremely difficult. In the late 1980s, MacCready, founder and CEO of AeroVironment, a company that consults on pollution management and wind energy, figured that a battery-powered automobile could be practical , provided the entire machine was optimized for efficiency. It would have to be e...

What Is The Driving Force Behind Industrial Development In Iran? Rent Seeking And Labor Exploitation As The Driving Force Of Industrial Growth

Understanding the magnetocatalytic effect: magnetism as a driving force for surface segregation.

The magnetocatalytic (or Hedvall) effect refers to a change in the rate of a chemical reaction on a magnetic surface at the Curie point T(C). For Ni catalysts, experiments suggest the effect is related to a sudden increase in segregated surface C, a strong catalytic poison, at temperatures below T(C). However, the connection between magnetism and surface segregation is not understood. Using den...

Driving Force for Nucleation of Multi-Component Gas Hydrate

Based on driving force for crystallization of one-component gas hydrate, in this report an expression for the supersaturation for crystallization of multicomponent gas hydrate is derived. Expressions for the supersaturation are obtained in isothermal and isobaric regimes. The results obtained are applied to the crystallization of hydrates of mixtures of methane plus ethane and can apply to ...
