~ Cathy Freeman
Probably everything in the world is decided by tiny last straws.
~ Robert Aickman
Like the Tebbe complex, ruthenium olefin metathesis catalysts can be used for the production of living polymers.
~ Robert H. Grubbs
Polymer synthesis in the 1950s was dominated by Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta, whose discoveries of polymerization catalysts were of great importance for the development of the modem 'plastics' industry.
~ Alan J. Heeger
You want leaders driven by mission – not by adrenaline. No one wants to work with people who need to be heroes more than they need to be catalysts.
~ Robert Watson
Feelings, as deputies of homeostasis, are the catalysts for the responses that began human cultures.
~ António R. Damásio
Challenges are success catalysts in disguise. Yes of course, a catalyst is an organic substance that speeds up a chemical reaction. Similarly to that, challenges are catalystic in nature. Because, they are meant to quicken one to succeed in life and not at all for him or her to fail. Thus, do take up all your challenges. Because, they are for your good or betterment.
~ Emeasoba George
'The Sound of Silk' will serve as a lens for larger questions about cultural identity in a global society and the potential for individuals to act as catalysts for change.
~ Morgan Neville
Catalysts offer the promise of making chemical transformations far less polluting.
~ Robert H. Grubbs
We want to create a community of girls who will be empowered to become catalysts for transformation in their communities.
~ Kimberly Bryant
The challenges we've had personally and globally have been the catalysts needed to let go of old ways of being that aren't the vibration of love.
~ Marci Shimoff
The catalysts for transformation would be three: freedom to escape group boundaries; ideas; and the games subcultures were about to learn to play. We'll see in coming chapters how this triad altered utterly the workings of mass mind.
~ Howard Bloom
The slogan for contemporary capitalism--fear and disorder are the catalysts for each new leap forward
~ Naomi Klein
Buchner proposed that fermentation was carried out by biological catalysts that he named enzymes (from the Greek en zyme, meaning in yeast). He concluded that living cells are chemical factories, in which enzymes manufacture the various products.
~ Nick Lane
These proteins come in many types. Fibrous proteins, for example, form structures such as bones, tissues, muscles, hair, fingernails, tendons, and skin cells. Membrane proteins relay signals within cells. Above all is the most fascinating type of proteins: enzymes. They serve as catalysts. They spark and accelerate and modulate the chemical reactions in all living things. Almost every action that takes place in a cell needs to be catalyzed by an enzyme. Pay attention to enzymes
~ Walter Isaacson
Our journey in going beyond our home planet is a human endeavor, and in the greatest tradition of exploration, past, present, and future spacefarers will continue to be enduring catalysts for inspiration in our quest to unravel the mysteries of the universe.
~ John M. Grunsfeld
Catalysts are the conductors who choreograph the chemical dance that results in the formation of new structures.
~ Robert H. Grubbs
Art is a way of taking distance. The pathological or therapeutic aspects exist, but just as catalysts.
~ Sophie Calle
Dondequiera que haya vida, sea en plantas o animales, existen siempre las enzimas. Las enzimas forman parte de todas las actividades necesarias para mantener la vida,
~ Unknown
Polymer chemistry provides an excellent means of studying metathesis catalysts: miniscule catalyst loadings have the capacity to generate large amounts of polymeric material, the structure of which can provide a historical record of catalyst activity.
~ Robert H. Grubbs
The power of a bold idea uttered publicly in defiance of dominant opinion cannot be easily measured. Those special people who speak out in such a way as to shake up not only the self-assurance of their enemies, but the complacency of their friends, are precious catalysts for change.
