Cobalt is an efficient catalyst for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) of hydrocarbons from syngas (CO + H) with enhanced selectivity for long-chain hydrocarbons when promoted by Manganese. However, the molecular scale origin of the enhancement remains unclear. Here we present an experimental and theoretical study using model catalysts consisting of crystalline CoMnO nanoparticles and thin films, where Co and Mn are mixed at the sub-nm scale.

Methods: Measurements were performed with reagents and measuring instruments for View Allergy 39 and SiLIS Allergy 45+1 using blood samples of individuals with a previous history of IgE sensitizations. We compared the results between SiLIS Allergy 45+1 with View Allergy 39.
Introduction: Hypercoagulability-related graft thrombosis is the leading cause of graft failure after simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPK). Addressing this issue is crucial to improve the outcomes of SPK recipients. Thromboelastography (TEG) has been used to assess the coagulation profiles of SPK recipients.

In ruminants, L-aspartate (L-Asp) stimulates the secretion of GH; however, the effect of D-Asp on GH remains unknown. Here, we examined the effect of D-Asp on GH secretion in wethers.
