Chemists Christopher Chang and Omar Yaghi, who invented COFs, added a metal catalyst to the crystal structure in order to turn the captured carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, a primary building block for a wide range of chemical products, including fuels, pharmaceuticals and plastics.
Through another technique developed by Yaghi, called "reticular chemistry," these frameworks can also be embedded with catalysts to carry out desired functions: for example, reducing carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, which serves as a primary building block for a wide range of chemical products including fuels, pharmaceuticals and plastics.
Storage may seem stodgy, but it's a primary building block for many cloud applications.
While the classical Riemann problem serves as a primary "building block" in the construction of many numerical schemes (most notably the Godunov scheme), the analytic study of GRP will lead to an array of "GRP schemes", which extend the Godunov scheme.
The returning crew was the fifth to live for an extended period aboard the Mir, the primary building block of the Soviet orbital station, launched in February 1986.
As the primary building block of eukaryotic chromatins, a nucleosome is formed by tightly wrapping ~147 bp of DNA around a histone octamer [ 18].
Strategy has been the primary building block of competitiveness over the past three decades, but in the future, the quest for sustainable advantage may well begin with the business model.
The MCF serves as the primary building block of bone, and, thus, its physical and mechanical characterization is critical for finding structure property relations in bone and understanding bone's overall behavior.
"Yet we are not seeing nearly enough money invested in this primary building block of development".
For example, carboxylic acids produced by microbial fermentation can be used to generate primary building blocks of industrial chemicals by either enzymatic or chemical catalysis.
The taped conversations became one of the primary building blocks of the federal case against Mr. Corallo and two other Mafia bosses -- Anthony Salerno of the Genovese family, who was known as Fat Tony, and Carmine Persico of the Colombo family, known as Junior -- as well as five other gangland counselors and underbosses.
