ACE Directive

As said earlier in this chapter, the use of properly arranged ilkunination will improve the visibility of the smoke markedly. Extra light should be arranged so that the light beams ace directed almost directly into the eyes of the observer or into the lens of a camera. Direct dazzling must be avoided with tlie help of some shield. The use of a laser beam expanded to a sheet makes it possihle to isualize the airflow in a special layer in the room. This technique makes it possible to study the airflow in more detail, e.g, near an enclosure or around a machine. ... 

Individual. All service members should know the mission of their unit and determine their role in the unit. Reviewing the Army Training and Evaluation (ARTEP) of the unit is a good source of this information. In addition to tactical information, individuals must also be aware of the current technical and doctrinal information available through reviewing the appropriate references. For example, medical personnel concerned with radiological hazards should review the latest version of the NATO ACE Directive 80-63 if appropriate. 

B. Allied nations have different occupational health and wartime standards and doctrine. US forces should familiarize themselves with the standards of the host nation and that of its allies. If US forces fall under NATO command, NATO STANAGs will provide additional guidance and doctrine. For example, NATO ACE Directive 80-64 provides doctrine guidance for operations near toxic industrial chemicals. 

This directive supersedes Allied Command Europe (ACE) Directive 80-63. Dated 10 January 1996. ACE Directive 00-1, Index to ACE Directive and Manuals is to be amended to indicate the current date of this directive.

Toyo Engineering-AGES Process. The synthesis section of the ACES process (Fig. 8) consists of a reactor, a stripper, two carbamate condensers, a scmbber and operates at 17.5 MPa (175 bars). The reactor is operated at 190°C with a NH /CO2 ratio of 4.0 (mol/mol). Liquid NH is fed directly into the reactor by a centrifugal ammonia pump. Gaseous CO2 is sent from the centrifugal CO2 compressor to the bottom section of the falling-film type stripper. 

In striking contrast to the above observations is the finding that both reduction and reductive methylation of the tetrahydropyranyl ether of 17a-ace-toxypregnenolone (71) afford the expected products (72a, b) in 85-88 % yields by direct crystallization of the crude reaction products. Clearly, the complications in the reduction of the 16-en-20-one system are attributable primarily to reactions of the carbon-carbon double bond rather than to the a-carbanion (73), which is the final intermediate in both the reduction of the 16-dehydro compounds and the 17-acetoxy ketones.

ACE not only activates angiotensin but is also involved in the metabolism of other peptides, e.g., it is a major kinin-degrading enzyme. Therefore, ACE inhibitors also increase kinin concentrations. Furthermore, it has recently been shown that these drugs potentiate kinin effects by modulating a direct interaction between the ACE protein and the kinin B2 receptor, which is independent from the enzymatic activity of ACE. Kinin potentiation may be involved in the beneficial action of ACE inhibition since kinins are known to exert cardio- and renoprotective actions. 

The new lipid occurred only in the plasma hpids of newborns and was not present in membrane hpids of red cell membranes or platelets. Total lipids were extracted from plasma and from red blood cell membranes and platelets. A total lipid profile was obtained by a three-directional PLC using silica gel plates and was developed consecutively in the following solvent mixtures (1) chloroform-methanol-concen-trated ammonium hydroxide (65 25 5, v/v), (2) chloroform-acetone-methanol-ace-tic acid-water (50 20 10 15 5, v/v), and (3) hexane-diethyl ether-acetic acid (80 20 1, v/v). Each spot was scraped off the plate a known amount of methyl heptadecanoate was added, followed by methylation and analysis by GC/MS. The accmate characterization of the new lipid was realized using NMR technique.

Determine if drug therapy may be contributing to ARF. Consider not only drugs that can directly cause ARF (e.g., aminoglycosides, amphotericin B, NSAIDs, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, ACE inhibitors, and ARBs), but also drugs that can predispose a patient to nephrotoxicity or prerenal ARF (i.e., diuretics and anti hypertensive agents). 

The internal coordinates for the water molecule are chosen as changes in the structural parameters defined in Fig. 3. The effect of each symmetry operation of the symmetry group ( 2 on these internal coordinates is specified in Table 2. Clearly, the internal coordinate Ace is totally symmetric, as the characters xy(Aa) correspond to those given for the irreducible representation (IR) Ai. On die other hand, the characters x/(Ar), as shown, can not be identified with a specific IR. By inspection of Table 2, however, it is apparent that the direct sum Ai B2 corresponds to the correct symmetry of these coordinates. In more complicated cases the magic formula can always be employed to achieve the correct reduction of the representation in question.
