Argos

Gr. argos, inactive) Its presence in air was suspected by Cavendish in 1785, discovered by Lord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay in 1894. 

Domestic capacity declined correspondingly duriug the 1980s as ARGO closed its 33, 000 t/yr 2-butanol dehydrogenation plant iu 1991 (50), Exxon closed a 136, 000 t/yr plant at Bayway, New Jersey iu 1988, and Union Carbide closed its Brownsville, Texas plant. Consumption was further squee2ed iu... 

The Xylene Plus process of ARGO Technology, Inc. (95,96) and the FINA T2BX process (97) also use a fixed-bed catalyst in the vapor phase for transalkylation of toluene to produce xylenes and benzene. The Mobil low temperature disproportionation (LTD) process employs a zeoHte catalyst for transalkylation of toluene in the Hquid phase at 260—315°C in the absence of hydrogen (98).

More Complex Mixtures. AH the sequences discussed are type I Hquid systems, ie, mixtures in which only one of the binary pairs shows Hquid—Hquid behavior. Many mixtures of commercial interest display Hquid—Hquid behavior in two of the binary pairs (type II systems), eg, secondary butyl alcohol—water—di-secondary butyl ether (SBA—water—DSBE), and water—formic acid—xylene (92). Sequences for these separations can be devised on the basis of residue curve maps. The SBA—water—DSBE separation is practiced by ARGO and is considered in detail in the Hterature (4,5,105,126).

With this information in hand, we may now consider how the -ATPase polypeptide chain might fold into its functional three-dimensional structure. First, regarding the actual number of membrane-spanning stretches, the available experimental data indicate only that each of the three membrane-embedded peptides must have an even number of and a minimum of two such stretches. However, hydropathy analysis by the method of Mohana Rao and Argos [48] suggests that the second mem-... 

Propyhdyne formed from propene on lr4 supported on y-Al203 was observed by IR and NMR spectroscopies [38]. When ethene or propene was brought in contact with oxide-supported lr4 [39,40], Ire [39,40], or Rhe (A.M. Argo and B.C. Gates BC, impubhshed results) in the presence of H2, hydrocarbon hgands were formed (namely, alkyls and /r-bonded alkenes), which have been inferred from IR spectra to be intermediates in hydrogenation to make alkanes, as discussed later. The population of these hydrocarbon ligands on the supported clusters depends sensitively on the conditions, such as reactant partial pressures and temperature.

If I can but think of Jason, at the end of his travels, killed by the beam of his own ship Argos, that was called Dodona for being the gift of the gods... If I can but think of him, and know that all that comes to me is Gods will likewise, then I may face death with the fortitude proper to a man.
