Experiments reveal unexpected activity of fuel cell catalysts

... how these nanocatalysts work, the research team developed so-called inverse model catalysts. The WGS catalysts usually consist of gold nanoparticles ... on it, it becomes extremely active, Rodriguez said. So although these inverse catalysts are just models, they have catalytic activity comparable to, and ...

Scientists demonstrate effect of confining dielectrics on semiconductor nanowire conductivity

... of WPI, were used to iteratively solve the wave functions and energies of conduction electrons and accounted for the induced surface charges. The inverse radius dependence turned out to be a good approximation only for certain range of wire sizes. "Our key finding was that devices made with ...

RVX-208 Exploratory Study Illustrates Early Potential for Alzheimer's Disease

... a significant relationship between elevated HDL levels and better performance on the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), and a significant inverse relationship between increased total and LDL cholesterol and learning and memory. Elevated cholesterol levels are thought to increase the production ...

HTRF IP-One Assay Performed on the PHERAstar and RUBYstar Plate Readers

... has already proved its worth in the field of screening for inverse agonist compounds. Looked at closely, and given its transitory ... to provide a satisfactory solution such as in the detection of inverse agonist activities. The assay also profits from the special ...

Use of FlashPlate Technology for In Vitro Measurement of [35S]-GTPγS Binding in CHO Cells Expressing the Human 5-HT1B Receptor

... agonist, GR127935 acts as a partial agonist and SB-224289 appears as an inverse agonist. The maximum response of 5-HT and GR127935 differs between the two ... The FlashPlate system was also sensitive enough to pick up partial and inverse agonists. (Assessment of optimal conditions will be essential when ...

WTN exclusive interview with Commerce Secretary Cory Nettles (part 1)

... tool that exists at a local level. Its the tool local communities have in their arsenal to be positioned to kind of stoke the economic development inverse in their communities. So weve had several initiatives. I sit down very often with Gov. Doyle at the table with business leaders and economic ...

Study explains unexpected conductivity of nanoscale silicon

... soon revealed that this process somehow allowed the nanomembrane to conduct electricity. To find out why, the team analyzed the resistance-the inverse of conductivity-of silicon layers ranging from to 200 to 15 nanometers in thickness. More importantly, they compared silicon's resistance when ...

Consumer, business technologies face same challenges

... less distinct. Software developers will no longer feel the need to "dumb down" products in order to sell them to the consumer market. Indeed, the inverse is true: developers will "smarten up" technology in order to make sure the products we buy as individuals also meet our needs as business executives. ...

Lance Armstrong and the future of cancer care

... but also in ancillary services such as free-standing diagnostic centers and even teleradiology. As cancers are detected earlier, there is an inverse pattern between increasing surgical care and decreasing (in relative terms) chemotherapy. In addition, as disease is caught at earlier and at ...

New statistical algorithms for Monitoring Gene Expression on GeneChip® Probe Arrays

... by accepting fewer Present calls (lower sensitivity). Conversely, greater sensitivity may be achieved at the expense of lower specificity. The inverse relationship between sensitivity and specificity in MAS 5.0 was examined by monitoring detection calls in the set of experiments described below. As ...
