Expanding the Horizons of Hierarchical Zeolites: Beyond Laboratory Curiosity towards Industrial Realization

Towards a sustainable manufacture of hierarchical zeolites.

Hierarchical zeolites have been established as a superior type of aluminosilicate catalysts compared to their conventional (purely microporous) counterparts. An impressive array of bottom-up and top-down approaches has been developed during the last decade to design and subsequently exploit these exciting materials catalytically. However, the sustainability of the developed synthetic methods ha...

Expanding the Horizons of ODR

This article offers a brief overview of the state-of-the-art ODR domain by presenting the contributions to the field made by the participants in this volume. It also examines some of the challenges that ODR face at present with regard to interoperability and the new evolutions of the Web 2.0. Finally, it also considers the need for a new vision of ODR that, while keeping pace with the technolog...

Colchicine--expanding horizons.

To say that the once very limited indications for colchicine have undergone a subtle but definite and dramatic change in recent years would not be an overstatement. This old drug, which has been known for centuries, was used for relieving and preventing acute attacks of gouty arthritis for over 200 years, but until recently, no other clinical uses had been established. The 1985 edition of Good-...

Expanding cerebellar horizons.

Anatomical connections must underly neuronal function. A new study by Middleton and Strick shows that the cerebellum projects to the dorsal prefrontal cortex of the monkey. This could provide the basis for cerebellar modulation of cognitive processes.
