Abstract: A catalyst composition for the oxidation and ammoxidation of hydrocarbons comprising a plurality of silica sol particles with different average particle sizes, and a complex of metal catalytic oxides having the formula: AaBbCcBidMOeOx, wherein ??(i) A is one or more of Li, Na, K, Cs, Rb, In, and TI B is one or more of Ni, Mn, Co, Mg, Ca, and Zn C is one or more of Fe, Cr, Ce, Cu, V, W, Sb, Sn, Ge, P, B, Ga, Te, Nb, and Ta, a is 0.0-1.0 b is 0.0-12.0 c is 1.0-12.0 d is 0.0-2.0 e is 12.0-14.0; or AaBbSb12Ox, wherein ??(ii) A is one or more of Fe, Cr, Ce, V, U, Sn, Ti, Ga, and Nb B is one or more of Mo, W, Co, Cu, Te, Bi, Ni, Ca, and Ta a is 0.1-16 b is 0.0-12.0. In both (i) and (ii), the value of x depends on the oxidation state of the metals used. Furthermore, a process for producing said ammoxidation catalyst is disclosed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for identifying biomarkers using a computer model is described. In one embodiment, a computer-executable software code includes code to define a set of configurations associated with a computer model of a biological system. The computer-executable software code also includes code to apply a virtual measurement to the set of configurations to produce a result of the virtual measurement for each configuration of the set of configurations and code to apply a virtual therapy to the set of configurations to produce a result of the virtual therapy for each configuration of the set of configurations. The computer-executable software code further includes code to identify correlation between the results of the virtual measurement for the set of configurations and the results of the virtual therapy for the set of configurations.
