TL;DR: The carbon catalyst can be readily separated from the saccharide solution after reaction for reuse in the reaction without loss of activity, and the catalytic performance of the carbon catalyst is attributed to the ability of the material to adsorb beta-1,4 glucan, which does not adsorb to other solid acids.
Abstract: The hydrolysis of cellulose into saccharides using a range of solid catalysts is investigated for potential application in the environmentally benign saccharification of cellulose. Crystalline pure cellulose is not hydrolyzed by conventional strong solid Bronsted acid catalysts such as niobic acid, H-mordenite, Nafion and Amberlyst-15, whereas amorphous carbon bearing SO 3H, COOH, and OH function as an efficient catalyst for the reaction. The apparent activation energy for the hydrolysis of cellulose into glucose using the carbon catalyst is estimated to be 110 kJ mol (-1), smaller than that for sulfuric acid under optimal conditions (170 kJ mol (-1)). The carbon catalyst can be readily separated from the saccharide solution after reaction for reuse in the reaction without loss of activity. The catalytic performance of the carbon catalyst is attributed to the ability of the material to adsorb beta-1,4 glucan, which does not adsorb to other solid acids.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the spacecraft, in-orbit performance, operations, and data processing that are related to observations of the Suzaku X-ray observatory, including high-sensitivity wide-band Xray spectroscopy.
Abstract: High-sensitivity wide-band X-ray spectroscopy is the key feature of the Suzaku X-ray observatory, launched on 2005 July 10. This paper summarizes the spacecraft, in-orbit performance, operations, and data processing that are related to observations. The scientific instruments, the high-throughput X-ray telescopes, X-ray CCD cameras, non-imaging hard X-ray detector are also described.

TL;DR: In this article, the dielectric, piezoelectric and elastic properties of 0.91(PbZn1/3Nb2/3)O3−0.09PbTiO3 single crystals have been investigated as functions of temperature and applied electric field.
Abstract: The dielectric, piezoelectric and elastic properties of 0.91(PbZn1/3Nb2/3)O3–0.09PbTiO3 single crystals have been investigated as functions of temperature and applied electric field. Two multiple phase transitions at 68°C and 178°C, the crystal changing from the rhombohedral ferroelectric phase to tetragonal ferroelectric and then to cubic paraelectric, have been observed. Both the transitions are of first-order, but both are slightly diffused. Significant increases in the dielectric, piezoelectric and elastic constants are observed at the lower transition point. In particular, the sample poled along the pseudo-cubic [001] axis reveals anomalously large piezoelectric and electro-mechanical coupling constants at room temperature in the rhombohedral phase (d[001]//=1500×10-12 C/N, k[001]//=0.92).

TL;DR: In this article, the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi LAT) was used to detect the electron spectrum up to 1 TeV using a diffusive model and a potential local extra component.
Abstract: Designed as a high-sensitivity gamma-ray observatory, the Fermi Large Area Telescope is also an electron detector with a large acceptance exceeding 2 m2 sr at 300 GeV. Building on the gamma-ray analysis, we have developed an efficient electron detection strategy which provides sufficient background rejection for measurement of the steeply falling electron spectrum up to 1 TeV. Our high precision data show that the electron spectrum falls with energy as E-3.0 and does not exhibit prominent spectral features. Interpretations in terms of a conventional diffusive model as well as a potential local extra component are briefly discussed.
