Normal Heptane Reforming of Promoted Platinum Composite Catalysts: Preparation, Characterization and Catalytic Performance by Mohammad Hasan Peyrovi, Nastaran Parsafard, Amir Sajedi

“…The results show that the produced Pt/Zr(x)-HMS/HZSM-5 catalysts have highly efficient performance for n-heptane reforming with a high isomers selectivity up to 69.4% (mono branched isomers = 31.8% and multi branched isomers = 37.6%) and a good selectivity to aromatic compounds (especially toluene = 6.9%), in spite of an appropriate selectivity to light products. It was revealed that the proper structure of these catalysts facilitates the reforming of n-heptane. …”

Time-dependent cortical responses to siesta disruption in male mice by Jingwei Ding, Shigenobu Shibata, Shigenobu Shibata, Tatsuhiko Kubo, Yu Tahara

“…Transcriptomic analysis at ZT0 and ZT12 revealed distinct time dependent responses: ZT0 was associated with the activation of stress-related and homeostatic pathways, whereas ZT12 showed enrichment of genes related to neuronal structure and intracellular transport.DiscussionThese findings suggest that even short-term siesta disruption induces mild but phase-specific cortical adaptations, involving early stress mitigation at ZT0 followed by synaptic remodeling at ZT12.…”
