Dehydrogenation is a chemical reaction that involves the removal of hydrogen from a molecule. It is the reverse process of hydrogenation. Dehydrogenation reactions are conducted both on industrial and laboratory scales. Dehydrogenation converts saturated fats to unsaturated fats. Enzymes that catalyze dehydrogenation are called dehydrogenases. Dehydrogenation processes are used extensively to produce styrene in the fine chemicals, oleochemicals, petrochemicals, and detergents industries.
Classes of the reaction[edit]
A variety of dehydrogenation processes have been described, especially for organic compounds:
- In typical aromatization, six-membered alicyclic rings, e.g. cyclohexene, can be aromatized in the presence of hydrogenation acceptors. The elements sulfur and selenium promote this process. Quinones, especially 2,3-Dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone are effective.
- Oxidation of alcohols to ketones or aldehydes can be effected by metal catalysts such as copper chromite. In the Oppenauer oxidation, hydrogen is transferred from an alcohol to an aldehyde or ketone to bring about the oxidation.
- Dehydrogenation of amines to nitriles using a variety of reagents, such as Iodine pentafluoride (IF
- Dehydrogenation of paraffins and olefins — paraffins such as n-pentane and isopentane can be converted to pentene and isopentene using chromium (III) oxide as a catalyst at 500 °C.
One of the largest scale dehydrogenation reactions is the production of styrene by dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene. Typical dehydrogenation catalysts are based on iron(III) oxide, promoted by several percent potassium oxide or potassium carbonate.[1]
Formaldehyde is produced industrially by the catalytic oxidation of methanol, which can also be viewed as a dehydrogenation using O2 as the acceptor. The most common catalysts are silver metal or a mixture of an iron and molybdenum or vanadium oxides. In the commonly used formox process, methanol and oxygen react at ca. 250–400 °C in presence of iron oxide in combination with molybdenum and/or vanadium to produce formaldehyde according to the chemical equation:[2]
The importance of catalytic dehydrogenation of paraffin hydrocarbons to olefins has been growing steadily in recent years. Light olefins, such as butenes, are important raw materials for the synthesis of polymers, gasoline additives and various other petrochemical products. The cracking processes especially fluid catalytic cracking and steam cracker produce high-purity mono-olefins, such as 1-butene or butadiene. Despite such processes, currently more research is focused on developing alternatives such as oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) for two reasons: (1) undesired reactions take place at high temperature leading to coking and catalyst deactivation, making frequent regeneration of the catalyst unavoidable, (2) it consumes a large amount of heat and requires high reaction temperatures. Oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of n-butane is an alternative to classical dehydrogenation, steam cracking and fluid catalytic cracking processes.[3]

As in much of his fiction, in Ragtime (1975) Doctorow turns his attention to a period in American history and develops themes regarding justice, individual identity, social responsibility, national realities and cultural myths in a narrative which is multidimensional, ironic and self-reflexive. He sets the action of this novel between 1902 and 1917 – the period known as the Progressive Era and the Era of Ragtime – and emphasizes the disorientation and turmoil that accompanied the large-scale transformation of the nation from its traditional character into one that is increasingly urban, industrial, commercial, and secular. He also implies connections between problematic issues regarding race, class, gender and ethnicity in …

Nash Candelaria, author of four novels and two short story collections so far, has been called the "historical novelist of the Hispanic people of New Mexico", who "has brought a special perspective to Chicano literature," and imported "the narrative of self-identity" into it. Ever since the publication of Memories of the Alhambra (1977), the first volume of his Rafa family quartet, critics have attempted to classify him within their closed ideological systems stressing some components while ignoring others. During the first period of the Chicano cultural renaissance they missed an open declaration of political purpose for his work questioning his self-characterization as "a Chicano who writes. I don't see my writing …

I am a proud Wii owner and want everybody to know about it
Why would I be ashamed of owning a Wii?
"My Pokemon brings all the nerds to the yard. And they're like, "You wanna trade cards?" Damn right, I wanna trade cards. I'll trade this, but not my Charizard."
XBOX 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii owner.
I am a proud Wii owner and want everybody to know about it
how can someone be ashamed of a nintendo console? nintendo has had way more sucuess that xbox and playstation alone. not just saying the wii, but nintendo has had what? like about 10-15 different systems? and ps2 and xbox together has had...5.
most people do say that wii is for kids and that only the cool people get the ps3 or 360, but im quite proud to say that wiis controls are far more comfterbale. or however you spell it. i meen sure wii's graphics arnt as good as ps3 or 360 but its more fun, plus you get some exersize.
all those sony and microsoft fans just sit on the butts all day and move there thumbs around. while wii owners have to actually move around.
so to make it short
im very proud to own a wii
I always show off my Wii and I'm not ashamed of my 'cube either. I use to want a 360, but not anymore. IMO they don't have a very good choice of games.

i feel no shame in owning a wii. i feel some shame in not owning a cube. i feel tremendous pride owning nes, snes, 64 + dslite, though.
why would there be shame involved?
so far i've been reluctant to go to the dark side of microsoft and sony but now i've gotten over my fangirl ways... and can see what they offer. i see no shame in owning nintendo products and not microsoft or sony. all the different companies offer different things; i think it's a little hard to compare.
be daring, be different, be impractical,
be anything that will assert integrity of purpose
and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers,
the creatures of commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.
it doesnt make very much sense to me to post this question on a nintendo Wii chat website...lol, lil biased
but im not ashamed at all, ive only had my wii for a month and im already a thousand times happier than my xbox360 crazed friend that nearly cried when he was struck with the dreaded "red-ring of death" lol something us wii owners dont have to worry about
not to mention these days being a sweet time to be a wii owner
as for the gamecube, the good games that came out for it were very very good but unfortunately i felt they were few and far between, especially near the last few years of its existense...o well tho, all is well now

No I'm not ashamed of owning a Wii. Besides, Halo 3 is what's been popular at my school so that's usually what I talk about at school when it comes to gaming. Even if the topic did turn to the Wii, I wouldn't feel embarrassed talking about it...

I see why you asked this question, with all the wii bashing and callin it weak, not a real console, a toy, a concole for babies, ect. I seen it all.Originally Posted by CantGetAWii
For me, I ain't ashamed to tell someone I have one. It's different, and I know that something that is as different as the wii, is gonna be seen as a threat to the status quo and will come under attack because of this. It is the ONLY object to generate so much rage that I have ever seen, and that must mean something. It is truly a disruptive peice of tech that is pissing off a lot of people.
And despite the constant baggin on it, it is still selling like candy and more and more developers want to make something for it. Yes. it did do pretty good this past year and I hope it continues to do so. Right now, its future looks bright.
Actualy, I'm proud to own something that is soo different and cool to me. It breaks all the rules and than smashes the new ones. I can't wait till developers really utalizes what it can really do, and I feel that the wii will inspire some truly creative games. Super Mario Galaxay is one good examples of this. That game is TWISTED!
yeah im' decently proud of my wii, i'm not going to brag about it, but when i'm playgin wii i put in my msn name" wii-ing it up" and stuff like that, also a lot of my friends come over to play with my wii.....
i'm a proud nintendo fan, i actually have two nintendo shirts(one is my avatar), and i plan on getting these mario shoes from the nintendo store, if i ever go there...
the mario that's roomed with mush
my wii is not connected to the internet, so i can't play brawl online for a bit....please do not spam inbox with friend code requests

Barber AND Booze?? Sign Us Up!
A trip to the barber or the hair salon can be considered quite the therapeutic event. I always bounce out of my preferred salon feeling, capsule literally, ampoule like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, with batteries fully charged. But what if they added an extra level of euphoria to the equation by introducing my favorite cocktail or beer to the mix?
With the recent arrival of the cleverly concepted Barber & Booze just a few blocks towards the beach from Casa Cupula, I may have no other choice but to cheat on my preferred salon every once and a while.
Two of my favorite things, finally brought together at last! A bit of pampering, and a bit of imbibing? What is there not to like?
Barber & Booze is located on the ever-evolving block of Rodolfo Gomez that leads to Playa Los Muertos, across from the San Marino Hotel. (Barra Light is another new, fun business that comes to mind on this stretch).
With such offerings as the Hangover Rescue, which is a refreshing and renovating eye treatment, personal shaves, beard washings, and combo packages (like the Classic Cut with their signature "B You Shave", Barber & Booze offers something for every gentleman out there.
Complimentary beers are included with any service and specialty cocktails and wines can be ordered off the menu from the on site bar.
Guests are reminded to arrive at least 10 minutes in advance of their appointments in order to take advantage of all of the services Barber & Booze has to offer.
If you need a quick trim or shave during your stay, accompanied by a bit of adult beverage, appointments can be arranged directly through your Casa Cupula Concierge at 1-866-352-2511 ext. 142 or email@example.com.
Blondie's Has More Fun!
Whether you're a first time visitor to PV, haven't been back in a few years, or you're down here twice a season, there's always something new to check out on the restaurant and bar scene.
We'll be posting these recommendations throughout the Season, but we wanted to focus today's post on a new venue at an old, familiar location. Longtime regular visitors and locals of Vallarta may remember Banana Cantina, the conveniently located sidewalk bar on the corner as you walk back from a day at Los Muertos Beach to head back up the hill to Casa Cupula. Over the last few years, the space has struggled to stick with a new concept, as various entrepeneurs have attempted to make their own concepts work in this fickle market. Finally, after a few years of identity crisis, it appears a concept has finally come along that just might stick.
North America LGBT'ers familiar with Hamburger Mary's may feel right at home at the new "Blondies" bar & lounge, where spiked slushies are the name of the game. The lower sidewalk "corner bar" houses the locale's slushie machines, perfect for that final drink to cool you off as you head back from a day at the beach. Upstairs you'll find their very cooly appointed "open air loft lounge", rocking some eye catching pop art decor. Different theme nights, light appetizers and a friendly staff full of familiar faces (for those Vallarta regulars) round off the attraction.
Blondies is open daily from 4pm – 2am.
Taste the Rainbow!
Under the pretense that it always seemed hard to keep guests happy during September in Puerto Vallarta, see considering the unpredictable tropical weather and the encroachring jungle, both Casa Cupula and Taste Restaurant used to close all together before returning for the arrival of High Season. But last year, we took a risk with our trial "Bed & Breakfast" season, and it paid off. So, this year, we've remained fully operational throughout the month, and it has resulted splendidly.
Over the last few years, there were always a certain handful of favorites that you could count on being open during these quiet weeks… Joe Jack's, Michel's, Pancho's Tacos all come to mind. This year, I've been surprised to see that even these locations have taken a break, either for remodeling, or menu updates, or even just to 'go fishing'.
While our neighbors here in la Zona Romantica are taking a break this month, Taste continues to operate on all cylinders, 7 days a week, albeit a somewhat limited dinner schedule until mid-October. And while Summer is officially over, we'll be extending our popular Summer Bistro menu for another two weeks. If you haven't been by this month assuming that we were closed along with the rest of town, now's your chance to swing on by and try this delicious 3-course prix-fixe before the promotion wraps for the season.
Besides, or who might be dining at the table next to you 😉
While things are admittedly 'tranquilo' here at the Casa, it's always a good idea to make a reservation ahead of time so that we can look forward to your visit. Make your resevations ahead of time via OPEN TABLE or for any other questions, give us a call locally at 322-223-2484 (x151).
Tu (Otra) Casa en Vallarta!
Our friends at nearby No Way Jose, Tu Casa en Vallarta, have got the right idea, by opening up their fabulously air-conditioned downstairs bar, La Cantina, a bit early this year to try out some new specialty cocktails. Come thirsty. as they'll be asking for your feedback! You may even help them pick out their official specialty cocktail for this season!
To help kick-start their 7th season, La Cantina will be offering full bar service from 12:00 noon to 11:00 pm (only closing on Mondays until December when they resume serving 7 nights a week).
Mixed Drinks. Highballs. Cocktails. If you're feeling adventurous, order their Mula Mexicana, their own take on the trendy Moscow Mule. It's a refreshing concoction of raicilla, ginger beer, Corona beer and lime juice served in a commemorative boot and will have you singing Mexican rancheras in no time.
Prefer gin? Ask to try the Hoyo en Uno (Hole in One) made win gin, OJ, lime juice and green mint.
Tequila more your style? Ask for the Vallarta Sky made with tequila, curacao and cream.
Rum is your favorite? Try the Celos, made with white cacao, espresso and rum.
Don't drink anything but vodka? The only place you can get a Moscow Mule in La Zona Romantica made in the requisite copper mug is at No Way José!
Taste Restaurant @ Casa Cupula may close at 5pm Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays until October, but never fear, as our amigos @ NWJ! will be slinging 2×1 Happy Hour cocktails nightly from 7:00-9:00 pm with a bar bites menu, including their iconically mouthwatering tableside prepared Ceasar Salad.
For a complete rundown of other ideas and suggestions to make the most of your Casa Cupula experience once you're down here, head over to our Online Concierge to start perusing the options or directly contacting your Casa Cupula Concierge at 1-866-352-2511 ext. 142 or email@example.com.

Jingle Your Bells this Holiday Season @ The Palm Cabaret!!
Return visitors to Casa Cupula have noticed over the last few years that entertainment options around our neighboring Zona Romantica have grown a little more sophisticated beyond the 3am drag shows or amateur shower dancers at some of our favorite bars (not that there's anything wrong with that 😉
In fact, over the last 2 seasons, it's not a matter of what to do between dinner and dancing, it's a matter of getting it all in during your brief stay! What'll it be tonight? A headlining standup act or a full length musical? A former X-Factor finalist or an international drag superstar?
This Holiday season, our friends at The Palm Cabaret are celebrating their 15th anniversary season with quite the line up, moving beyond the nichey mix of local gaylebrities and nightclub acts (again, not that there's anything wrong with that) and scoring some current and veritable household names.
Film and television's Alec Mapa (America's gaysian sweetheart) just finished a critically acclaimed run of his one-man show "Baby Dady" and the revolving door of talent continues to roll through the last few weeks of 2014 and into the New Year.
San Francisco's The Kinsey Sicks' blissfully blasphemous holiday show, "Oy Vey in a Manger" returns to PV despite popular demand, Dec. 23-Jan 2! Bring all your tasteless friends (and easily-offended enemies) for an evening of twisted hilarity.
A recent rave review of their just-wrapped New York run of "Oy Vey" claimed "What proves possibly most striking about The Kinsey Sicks isn't merely their phenomenal vocal blend, but their astonishing ability to cross the line between harmonic brilliance and side-splitting comedy".
Friends of the Casa, Shawn Pelofsky and Leslie Jordan, are also coming down the line the next few weeks, so clear your calendars and secure your seats early. The frosting on the cookie this season? All Casa Cupula guests (and those who follow this blog for that matter) are granted a complimentary upgrade to Preferred Seating when purchasing their General Seating tickets in advance online using the promo code "CasaCupula" (one word, both "C's" in caps!) CLICK HERE to secure your tickets before the shows fill up.
The Palm is a small, intimate space, so shows do sell out! For further assistance in locking in your Preferred Seating at the General Seating rate in advance, please email email@example.com or dial us directly at 1-866-352-2511 ext. 142.
Pumpkin Pies & Parties!
This U.S. Thanksgiving Holiday in Puerto Vallarta promises to be bigger and better than ever, with not just one but two great LGBT-oriented music festivals to choose from!
The New Latin Fever 2014 (scheduled November 27th to 30th) will not only be returning for another year, but 2014 will mark the arrival of the much-buzzed about MAXIMA FESTIVAL!
So ditch the awkward famly dinners, canned cranberry and stuffy sweaters and give Gracias this year in "Beyond Gay Friendly" Puerto Vallarta!
The Maxima Festival is already boasting an impressive DJ line up, with such headliners as Steven Redant, Isaac Escalante and Ben Baker.
And if you're hankering for a piece of pumpkin pie, we've still got you covered, as Taste Restaurant @ Casa Cupula will be rolling out the traditional spread, as we do each year, in case you need any more excuse to dance it off!
Visit our Reservations page or call us directly at 1-866-352-2511 to book your Casa Cupula "Maxima" experience!
And we'll hold your spot on the dance floor!

Ports: Due to mechanical problems we missed time in the ports that I was so looking forward to. My favorite was Acapulco. Shore excursions with ship were good;however, the staff was not adequately informed on these excursions. I don't think the line takes them on these. I specifically asked a question about visiting a certain bay in Huatulco on our sailing excursion;they said yes we would visit it. we did not. The guide said there was no time. Milos could not answer all questions.The Smithsonian lecturer,boring,I felt like I was in a boring college lecture. Pushing diamonds,diamonds,diamonds on tv.
Food. Adequate. Not enough choices in the eve. since my mom and I missed signing for ealy seating. Could not accomodate us. Food upstairs repetitive. I like HAL's casual buffet upstairs.My mom is 80 and could not eat late.
Service: good,but not going out of their way; however, when i did show up for dinner (6 times) our waiter was especially bubbly and friendly-a first. SS United Stated:good,but not worth $35 plus tip and wine. Good bread sticks,good exotic fruit by the pool on sea days. Dining room and buffets used to be better. What happened? Did Michel Roux departure change everything.Spa food good on certain days. Ice cream not good (toppings good)
Entertainement: Adequate. Nothing special. Nice Keith Cox. Cabin. small closets!!!! lousy hair dryer(bring your own)

This review is from: TOSHIBA CB35-B3330 Chromebook Intel Celeron N2840 (2.16 GHz) 2 GB Memory 16 GB SSD 13.3" Chrome OS
Pros: I put this on my Christmas wish list and I got it! Loving it too!
If I am not gaming on my desktop I'm just browsing the internet and now I browse with great speed!
I really enjoy how fast it boots up and wakes up from sleep.
The battery life is fantastic! Been unplugged and in use for several days since I got it.
Cons: You need to know what you are getting when you buy a Chromebook!
This is not your laptop or desktop or tablet. It is a device category unto it's own!
Wish that the F keys weren't removed, now I have to learn new shortcuts.
Other Thoughts: Need to do more research to learn some tips and tricks beyond normal use for the Chromebook.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: 10000mAh Solar Charger Battery Power Bank Power Panel Dual USB External for Mobile Phone GPS MP3 Tablet iPhone 4 iPhone 5 iPad iPod MP3 MP4 PDA PSP Digital Camera
Pros: Once charged this device is a handy battery backup to have for your portable device. Being able to charge with solar is a wonderful addition to mobile backups.
The device charges very quickly when plugged into a wall outlet.
Cons: I used this on a recent week long trip, I was able to keep charging the battery during the day using the solar panels. However, once I got to the bottom of the batteries power reserves the device seemed to take an extraordinary amount of time to begin storing a fresh charge while using the solar panel. Yes the panel charges much slower then a wall plug but I had the device in direct (cloudless) sun for over 6hrs and it was still charging the first status LED.
Other Thoughts: I found it slightly annoying that you can only charge with solar or restore power to your device, you can't do both at the same time (essentially using the solar panel to directly charge your device).
I have been trying to test the device under various conditions to see what kind of charge times it can perform (i.e. empty to full charge times with solar and wall plug, how many charges it can hold for mobile devices, etc).
This review is from: XIGMATEK eXTREME SILENT Series XSF-F1252 120mm Case Fan with FCB (Fluid Circulative Bearing), 4 in 1 package CFS-SXGJR-KU3
Pros: This multi-pack is perfect for keeping your system going.
Fans die, its a fact; this kit is the perfect spare parts box. Not only are they good fans but they are nice and quiet!
Cons: n/a
Other Thoughts: I'm glad they are the three pin motherboard connectors, I've never like the four pin power connectors. You can keep a tidy computer case with this type; with an appropriate motherboard of course.READ FULL REVIEW

One of the greatest things about an NFL franchise is their helmet. Some helmets, like the Dallas Cowboys, are classics and are instantly recognizable by any football fan. Other franchises, such as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, use creative logos and colors to create a terrific helmet that is appealing to the eye.

Great week!!!

Loved this house and the realtor!! It worked great for our group of adults and girls. We loved the quiet location - close to the beach and close to local stores. Great walking area and larger lot meant we didn't have to be as quiet. The hot tub was a great addition and not having to worry about kids in a pool was good too. Plenty of chairs/umbrellas and toys so don't worry about bringing any! The realtor was quick to respond to our one problem and it was quickly fixed. Thanks for an awesome stay!

Communities In Schools of the Charleston Area (CIS) announces the receipt of a significant financial gift and the launch of a challenge campaign to match this exceptional donation dollar for dollar to double the gifts impact. A very generous and committed couple from Kiawah Island has offered to award up to $100,000 to CIS, matching 1:1 any personal gift given to the organization over the next year for a potential total of $200,000.
This represents a phenomenal opportunity for CIS currently celebrating its 25th year of service to Charlestons youth to sustain and strengthen its program throughout the community. The gift also demonstrates this anonymous couples commitment to the CIS mission and the respect they have for the staff members who never give up on their students, working persistently to motivate and prepare them for graduation, college and career.
The gift announcement and Meeting the Match challenge campaign launch was timed to coincide with Giving Tuesday, a nationwide movement encouraging communities across the country to make a contribution to a local non-profit organization on the first Tuesday in December. Started last year by the 92nd Street Y in New York and the United Nations Foundation, the groups purpose is to highlight and celebrate the holiday spirit of giving not just through purchases for friends and family, but also by promoting the spirit of philanthropy to benefit the many non-profit organizations that do so much for so many who are in need. To learn more about this program, visit its website: www.cischarleston.org.
With the additional funding raised through this matching gift campaign, CIS in Charleston will not only strengthen its ability to sustain the 41 in-school staff positions it currently has, the organization will be able to increase the number of students who have access to its more intensive services and programs.

Generator Rex
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this sci-fi/adventure cartoon is better suited for tweens than it is for kids due to a good deal of violence (guns, knives, and large explosions, for instance) with little real-world consequence and plenty of monsters of all shapes and sizes. What's more, the intricacies of Rex's struggles with his own identity and good decision-making are too weighty for kids to grasp. That said, the show is a rare find for tweens, blending a mature storyline about a teen's inner battle between his sense of responsibility and his very different personal desires with an enticing plot of mystery and adventure.
User reviews
Parents say
Kids say
What's the story?
In a recent global accident, Earth was infected by microscopic machines called nanites, which link with humans' DNA and can turn their hosts into dangerous monsters. Rex (voiced by Daryl Sabara) was no exception, but inexplicably this remarkable 15-year-old amnesiac is able to control his nanites and transform his body at will, making him the secret weapon in the Providence agency's battle against the mutant creatures, called Exponentially Variegated Organisms, or E.V.O.s for short. Together with his Providence team – Dr. Holiday (Grey DeLisle), Agent Six (Wally Kurth), and his chimpanzee friend, Bobo Haha (John DiMaggio) – and "regular" pal, Noah (Fred Savage), Rex must stare down evil in all forms while he searches for the truth to his past.
Is it any good?
If your tweens (especially boys) think they're too old for cartoons, GENERATOR REX is up to the challenge of changing their minds. This enjoyable show is full of adventure in an ongoing battle of good vs. evil, and the subplot surrounding Rex's questions about his past is a dangling-carrot mystery that will retain the interest of this more mature audience. True, much of the cartoon is doused in violent exchanges between Rex and a host of mutants, but even here the show's thoughtfulness is apparent, as rather than killing the monsters, Rex uses his powers to restore their humanity.
This content is all well and good for the tween set, but it's the very stuff that makes this an iffy choice for younger kids. An ever-changing cast of monsters, recurring villains with truly evil intentions, inner struggles with emotion, and an uncertain self-image may raise more questions than answers for youngsters, so better save this one until the littlest ones have gone to bed.
Families can talk about...
Families can discuss responsibility. Can you relate to Rex's frustration over having responsibility thrust upon him? How does he cope with the pressure? What responsibilities weigh heaviest on you? What coping techniques do you use to manage?
Parents and tweens can talk about violence on TV. Tweens: What did you think about the violence in this show? Would you say there was too much of it, or was it OK? Did you find it realistic? Do you think it was intended to be realistic? What standards do you think should exist for violence on TV?
Tweens: How would you define "self-image?" How is your self-image influenced by people around you? Do you fall victim to the media's messages about who you should be? If so, which ones affect you most? Why is it sometimes difficult to have a strong self-image?

UINT32 x : 1 ?
Hi all,
I saw this somewhere. :freak:
UINT32 x : 1;
May I know what is the purpose of declaring the data type to 32 bits, but only 1 bit is in use? Is this related to hardware logic?
Thanks for the help.
