   Catalysis
   (In topic `Tools, Methods & Processes`) Catalysis is a rapidly emerging UML-based approach that provides complete support for the systematic business-driven development of component-based systems from frameworks.  As a non-proprietary, OO method for CBD,  very different from other methods, Catalysis is mainly concerned with building reuse component

   Catalysis
   Catalysis: The process by which a substance speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed or altered in the process. Substances that can accomplish this remarkable feat are termed catalysts and are of immense importance in chemistry and biology. All enzymes are catalysts that expedite the biochemical reactions necessary for life. The enzymes ...

    Catalysis
    In chemistry and biology, `catalysis` is the acceleration (increase in rate) of a chemical reaction by means of a substance called a `catalyst`, which is itself not consumed by the overall reaction. More generally, one may at times call anything that accelerates a process, a `catalyst` . A catalyst does not allow for a reaction to take place, but it provides an alternative route to products, the catalytic route being subject to lower activation ...

    Catalysis
    • (n.) Dissolution; degeneration; decay. • (n.) A process by which reaction occurs in the presence of certain agents which were formerly believed to exert an influence by mere contact. It is now believed that such reactions are attended with the formation of an intermediate compound or compounds, so that by alternate composition and decom...
