in a novel dual bed reactor fischer-tropsch synthesis was studied by using two diffrent cobalt catalysts. an alkali-promoted cobalt catalyst was used in the first bed of a fixed-bed reactor followed by a rutenuim promoted cobalt catalyst in the second bed. the activity, product selectivity and accelerated deactivation of the system were assessed and compared with a conventional single bed react...

an extensive study of fischer-tropsch synthesis (fts) on alumina-supported cobalt catalysts with different amounts of cobalt is reported. up to 40 wt % of cobalt, is added to the catalysts by impregnation method. the effect of the cobalt loading on the reducibility of the cobalt oxide species, dispersion of the cobalt, average clusters size, water-gas shift (wgs) activity and activity and selec...

in this paper we describe how the degrees of the irreducible characters of the affine subgroups of the classical groups under consideration can be found inductively. in [4] gow obtained certain character degrees for all of the affine subgroups of the classical groups. we apply the method of fischer to the above groups and, in addition to the character degrees given in [4], we obtain some new ch...

Previous studies in rat have demonstrated decreased number of mitochondria and uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation after administration of glucocorticoids but at supraphysiological doses and using synthetic glucocorticoids. To analyze the relationships between corticosterone levels (the natural glucocorticoid in rat) and muscle mitochondrial metabolism, Lewis and Fischer 344 rats were bilat...

the subgroups of symplectic groups which fix a non-zero vector of the underlying symplectic space are called affine subgroups., the split extension group $a(4)cong 2^7{:}sp_6(2)$ is the affine subgroup of the symplectic group $sp_8(2)$ of index $255$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we use the technique of the fischer-clifford matrices to construct the character table of the inertia group $2^7{:}o^{-}_{6}(2...

We welcome the correspondence from Fischer and colleagues regarding our recent paper on vocal learning in chimpanzee food grunts [1]. Fischer et al. make two challenges to our paper's conclusions, which we address here.

Fischer 344 rats fed on a diet that is deficient in selenium are more resistant to the hepatocarcinogen aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) than those fed on a selenium-sufficient diet. Hepatic cytosol from either selenium-deficient Fischer 344 rats or Hooded Lister rats possesses a marked increase in both reductase activity toward AFB1-dialdehyde and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity toward AFB(1)-8,9-...
