Heterogeneous catalysts: A brief recount of the reasons and the justification that’s support theoretical simulations. (By: Jesús M. García Figueroa)

Uncategorized

A catalyst is a substance which increases the rate of reaction without being consumed appreciably during a reaction process.  This write up is focused on Heterogeneous catalysts, which promote the conversion of the reactants, and that are on a different phase than reactants and products.  Normally, heterogeneous catalysts are found in solid phase or they…

Parallel Programming with OpenMP and MPI: A Brief Comparison

Uncategorized

Parallel programming began about 30 years ago with the development of mul- tiprocessor computers. Generally, multiprocessor computers have different archi- tectures in terms of the assembly of the processors with their memory. A computer with a shared-memory architecture has multiple processors sharing the same mem- ory modules such that, the processors share the same workspace…

NIR spectroscopy is a strong and innovative technique

Uncategorized

Chemical imaging is an innovative technique that uses conventional imaging and spectroscopy to obtain spatial and spectral information from a sample. Near Infrared Chemical Imaging (NIR-CI) unites the chemical selectivity of vibrational spectroscopy and the potential of image visualization. The combination of both aspects creates a more complete instrument which can be applied for the…

Cells as protein factories and the use of genomics to improve the manufacture of Biologics

Uncategorized

With the introduction of recombinant DNA technology two decades ago, a new class of pharmaceuticals (known as biologics) began to reach patients and proliferate to treat other human diseases. Although the first human recombinant proteins (such as insulin) were analogs for the molecules previously obtained from cadavers or animals, the technology brought about many new…
