Bimetallic Pt-V supported by Gamma-alumina is used to observe the changes of nheptanewhen passed over this catalyst. The Pt concentration was kept constant at0.1wt% while the concentration of the vanadium was 0.5wt%. The activity andselectivity of catalyst have been determined under conditions at 450-500 degreescentigrade and 15-30 attn. The experimental results show that the addition of second...

The subject of arc fault detection and circuit interruption has gained a lot of attention in recent years, particularly in the aviation industry. This is primarily due to a spate of in-flight fires which have been linked to faulty electrical systems and wiring on aircraft. Typical causes of faults are wiring chafing, dust build up and moisture [1][2]. Until recently, aircraft circuit breakers, ...

One of the difficulties in standard growth of metallic nano-clusters on oxide substrates as model catalysts is the strong coupling between clusters size and density. Employing multiple cycles, amorphous solid water-buffer layer assisted growth (ASW-BLAG) procedure, we demonstrate how the size to density coupling can be eliminated under certain conditions. In this study, gold clusters were depos...
