Merging two powerful 3-D X-ray techniques, a team of researchers have revealed new details of a process known as metal poisoning that clogs the pores of catalyst particles used in gasoline production, ...

Solid materials used as heterogeneous catalysts are of crucial importance to pharmaceutical, (petro)chemical and environmental industries: the fabrication of more than 85% of all transportation fuels ...

Nanoparticle sintering during catalytic reactions is a major cause for catalyst deactivation. Understanding its atomic-scale processes and finding strategies to reduce it is of paramount scientific ...

Motivated by the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH), we present nonlocal models for linear advection with a variable coefficient in one spatial dimension together with their particle based ...

Probability models are proposed for passage time data collected in experiments with a device that was designed to measure particle flow during aerial application of fertilizer. Maximum likelihood ...
