Control of pore structures and activity of PGM-alumina exhaust catalysts
(1995)Pore sizes in y-alumina were controlled with additives (porogens) during formation of aluminium hydroxide. Porogens were active in the mesopore range with a sharply defined pore size distribution. Porogens that enhanced ... -
Shock acceleration as source of the anomalous component of cosmic rays in the heliosphere
(PU vir CHO, 1995)Anomalous cosmic rays are low energy enhancements of the cosmic ray intensities that cannot be explained by standard modulation of galactic cosmic rays entering the heliosphere. Presently it is thought that these anomalous ... -
