SYNERGIC PROMOTION OF CATALYST BY GROUP VIII B ELEMENTS

synergic promotion of catalyst by group viii b elements

group viii b metal oxides supported on gamma-alumina were investigated as catalysts and promoters of moo3 hydrodesulfurization catalysis. superior promotion was observed in pbo promoted catalyst compared to that of coo, the typically accepted promoter. other metal oxides, sno and ho2o3 exhibited reasonable hydrodesulfurization catalysis promotion but lower than for coo promoted catalyst.

Seroepidemiologic studies of serotype VIII group B Streptococcus in Japan.

Levels of antibody to serotype VIII group B Streptococcus (GBS) were surveyed in serum samples from 583 pregnant women, from 461 neonates born to these women, and from 4 mother-and-neonate pairs with early-onset serotype VIII sepsis. Colonization by serotype VIII GBS was associated with significantly higher serum concentrations of serotype-specific antibodies (geometric mean [GM], 5.53 micro g/...

Promotion of Cooperation by Selective Group Extinction

Multilevel selection is an important organizing principle that crucially underlies evolutionary processes from the emergence of cells to eusociality and the economics of nations. Previous studies on multilevel selection assumed that the effective higher-level selection emerges from lower-level reproduction. This leads to selection among groups, although only individuals reproduce. We introduce ...

Which elements of a finite group are non-vanishing?

‎Let $G$ be a finite group‎. ‎An element $gin G$ is called non-vanishing‎, ‎if for‎ ‎every irreducible complex character $chi$ of $G$‎, ‎$chi(g)neq 0$‎. ‎The bi-Cayley graph ${rm BCay}(G,T)$ of $G$ with respect to a subset $Tsubseteq G$‎, ‎is an undirected graph with‎ ‎vertex set $Gtimes{1,2}$ and edge set ${{(x,1),(tx,2)}mid xin G‎, ‎ tin T}$‎. ‎Let ${rm nv}(G)$ be the set‎ ‎of all non-vanishi...

A serotype VIII strain among colonizing group B streptococcal isolates in Boston, Massachusetts.

Maternal colonization with group B Streptococcus (GBS) is a risk factor for neonatal GBS disease. Whereas serotypes Ia, Ib, II, III, and V are prevalent in the United States, types VI and VIII predominate in Japan. Recently, a serotype VIII strain was detected among 114 clinical GBS isolates from a Boston, Mass., hospital.
