Absorption speed

Cocaine acts as a potent local anesthetic and is a strong CNS stimulant it extends and intensifies the effects of dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin neurotransmitters [3], The effects of cocaine can vary in relation to the individual characteristics, the administered dose, frequency of use, and route of administration. The intranasal administration causes plasma peak concentrations after 5-20 min, the euphoric effect in 15-20 min with a half-life of 40 min. The oral route involves a slow and low absorption with plasma peak concentrations after approximately 90 min and euphoric effect in 15-20 min. Intravenous plasma peak is immediate, euphoric effect occurs after 4-8 min with a half-life of about 40 min. Finally it may be administered through inhalation of combustion products or crack vapors, with great absorption speed. 

If a chemical reaction is very slow, no concentration gradients exist in the liquid film. Two cases can be distinguished depending on whether diffusion resistance in the gas film influences the absorption speed or not. 

To test the influence of the thickness of the contact surfaces on moisture absorption. Fig. 8.7 presents the moisture absorption per unit over time for BIN-SMPUs containing different amounts of BINA. The initial slope of moisture absorption is observed to increase in close correlation with the increase in BINA content, i.e. the BIN-SMPU sample with higher BINA content has a higher moisture absorption speed. The BINA content reflects the pyridine content in the... 

The most important property of superabsorbent polymers is their ability to absorb water. Traditional water-absorbing materials such as cotton, pulp and sponges absorb water into interstices by capillary phenomenon. By contrast, superabsorbent polymer absorbs water into three-dimensional (3D) networks of a erosslinked polymer by the compatibility of polymer chains and water and by osmotic pressure. Hence, superabsorbent polymers laek absorption speed but have a much better water-absorption eapaeity eompared to cotton or pulp. Products that have a high water-absorption property include sanitary produets, such as disposable diapers, eonstmetion materials, mulch, water sealant for electric cables, freshness maintenance materials in the food industry. Of the sanitary products, of the disposable diaper is the best example of a product that has a high waterabsorbing capacity. The superabsorbent polymer is indispensable for disposable diapers, and it drastically improved the performance of disposable diapers. Here, the development and current status of disposable diapers, the structure of disposable diapers in which a superabsorbent polymer is incorporated, and advances in the development of superabsorbent polymers will be described. 

At still shorter time scales other techniques can be used to detenuiue excited-state lifetimes, but perhaps not as precisely. Streak cameras can be used to measure faster changes in light intensity. Probably the most iisellil teclmiques are pump-probe methods where one intense laser pulse is used to excite a sample and a weaker pulse, delayed by a known amount of time, is used to probe changes in absorption or other properties caused by the excitation. At short time scales the delay is readily adjusted by varying the path length travelled by the beams, letting the speed of light set the delay. 

The detector D monitors the absorption of the probe beam as a function of the delay between the pulses given by xHc, where c is the speed of light and v is the difference between the optical path travelled by the probe and by the pump pulse. Adapted from [110],... 

In the this form the Beer-Lambert law shows that the intensity of radiation transmitted by an absorbing sample declines exponentially as the length over which the absorption takes place increases. If the radiation, travelling with the speed of light c, takes time tg to traverse the absorbing path f Equation (9.29) becomes ... 

The function of aeration in a wastewater treatment system is to maintain an aerobic condition. Water, upon exposure to air, tends to estabUsh an equihbrium concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO). Oxygen absorption is controlled by gas solubiUty and diffusion at the gas—hquid interface. Mechanical or artificial aeration may be utilised to speed up this process. Agitating the water, creating drops or a thin layer, or bubbling air through water speeds up absorption because each increases the surface area at the interface. 

The diffusion coefficient depends upon the characteristics of the absorption process. Reducing the thickness of the surface films increases the coefficient and correspondingly speeds up the absorption rate. Therefore, agitation of the Hquid increases diffusion through the Hquid film and a higher gas velocity past the Hquid surface could cause more rapid diffusion through the gas film. 

With disk diameters above 5.25 in., all parameters, eg, water absorption and thermal expansion, become more critical which aggravates the expansion or warp of disks. If in the future disk rotation speeds have to be increased significantly to boost data transfer rates, higher demands will be placed on warp (tilt angle) and modulus to avoid creeping (ie, irreversible elongation in radial direction). A survey of the requirement profile for the substrate material of optical disks is given in Table 5 (182,186,187,189). 

The printing of newspapers is conducted at very high speeds, often reaching 3000 feet per miaute. AH three printing processes utilize similar quaHty newsptint which, essentiaHy, is made of groundwood or thermomechanical pulp. Presses are fed a continuous web of newsptint that unwiads from a feed roUer. Inks dry by absorption of Hquid iato the porosity of the substrate. Some evaporation of water ia a flexo pubHcation ink can accelerate the dryiag process. 

The analysis of steady-state and transient reactor behavior requires the calculation of reaction rates of neutrons with various materials. If the number density of neutrons at a point is n and their characteristic speed is v, a flux effective area of a nucleus as a cross section O, and a target atom number density N, a macroscopic cross section E = Na can be defined, and the reaction rate per unit volume is R = 0S. This relation may be appHed to the processes of neutron scattering, absorption, and fission in balance equations lea ding to predictions of or to the determination of flux distribution. The consumption of nuclear fuels is governed by time-dependent differential equations analogous to those of Bateman for radioactive decay chains. The rate of change in number of atoms N owing to absorption is as follows ... 

Comfort. In the past, the evaluation of fabric or garment comfort has been a subjective process influenced by such variables as temperature, insulating efficiency, moisture absorption, drying speed, softness, bulk, fabric constmction, and air permeability. Human factors must also be considered. 

The inhibitor should not decompose during the life of the pickle nor decrease the rate of scale removal appreciably. Some highly efficient inhibitors, however, do reduce pickling speed a little. It would be expected that since the hydrogen evolution is reduced the amount of hydrogen absorption and embrittlement would also be reduced. This is not always the case thiocyanate inhibitors, for example, actually increase the absorption of hydrogen.
