Ideal hydrocracking catalysts for the conversion of FT wax to diesel
The Fischer-Tropsch wax synthesis process and the subsequent upgrade of the wax to useful distillate fuels by mild hydrocracking is a well-known, economically viable method of producing liquid fuels, in particular diesel fuel. This project seeks to develop an ideal hydrocracking catalyst (i.e. a …

The structure and function of Gene's organ and its associated glands in ticks
… describe the structure of Gene's organ, the egg-waxing organ in ticks, using electron microscopy. Both ultrastructural and physiological aspects are investigated in two important pest species, Boophilus microplus and Amblyomma variegatum. The organ performs an essential function in females by …

Genetic network regulating variation in vegetative phase change in maize
… in maize is characterized by the transition from waxy juvenile leaves to pubescent, glossy adult leaves. In maize, mutants that alter the timing of vegetative phase change are valuable resources to identify the responsible factors. Also, continuous variation of leaf identity traits in diverse …
