Plasticity and cortical activation during REM sleep is shown by a subset of cortical and hippocampal neurons.
- By-product metals are technologically essential but have problematic supply
Metals that are obtained largely or entirely as by-products are essential to modern technology, but their supplies may be constrained due to a variety of factors.
- Life and death of a single catalytic cracking particle
Macropore blocking through metal deposition and intrusion of particles is a major deactivation mechanism in FCC catalysts essential to gasoline production.
