Activation period

During the most active period of investigation of sulfanilamide derivatives, 1935—1944, for systemic bacterial infections, the antimycobacterial activity of 4,4 -dianainodiphenylsulfone [80-08-8] (DDS, dapsone) was discovered (14). Although neither this compound nor its derivatives proved to be clinically usehil for human tuberculosis, it did evolve into the most important type of compound for leprosy (15). The diacetyl derivative has also... 

The puzzling discovery of Collie and Tickle in 1899 that 2,6-dimethyl-4-pyrone (8) affords crystalline salts (9) with acids, which were the first monocyclic pj rylinm salts to be isolated, was interpreted by a formula (21) with tetracovalent oxygen.An active period of research followed. The methosulfate or methiodide of 2,6-dimethylpyrone was converted by ammonia into 4-methoxy-2,6-lutidine, therefore, the exocyclic oxygen of the pyrone must be involved in the salt formation. Thus, formula 21 was disproved and formula 22 was demonstrated for these salts. 

Activation period. This is in two parts, the dry run and the live run, the change between the two being when fuel is made available to the combustion space. The activation period commences with all energy sources isolated from the plant. These are gradually made available as the dry run progresses. Fuel must be... 

Entomologists have had these and various other questions before them in developing measures for control. They are fully aware that answers cannot be determined in short order, and that the solution of a problem for one area does not mean that the answer is applicable to all parts of the country. Experimental work has to be done when the insects are present and during the limited active period of the stage of development when the treatment may be applied. This frequently means that experimental work can be done only during a few weeks within a year.

To monitor the absorbed chlorpyrifos doses in human volunteers, urine was collected before and following a 4-hr activity period on the treated grass surface(re-entry). The urine was analyzed for 3,5,6-trichloropyridinol (3,5,6-TCP), the urinary metabolite of chlorpyrifos, and creatinine, which was determined to verify completeness of urine collection by each volunteer. 

Doses of chlorpyrifos in human volunteers were also estimated using physical measurements. Air sampling was conducted in order to estimate the inhalation dose to each volunteer. Dislodgeable residues were also measured throughout the study to estimate the dermal contribution to total dose. Finally, hand rinses were conducted on each volunteer immediately following the 4-hr activity period to assess the potential contribution to total dose from hand exposure and to estimate an oral dose to a crawling child. 

At the termination of the activity period, each participant s hands were held over a bowl and doused with 250 mL of a dilute dioctyl sodium sulfosucci-nate (anionic surfactant) mixture. This soap wash was followed by a 250-mL rinse with deionized water. The soap and water fractions were stored together in the same container. Fifteen grams of sodium chloride were added to the container to facilitate phase separation. The chlorpyrifos was partitioned with 200 mL of ethyl acetate, which was also used to rinse the bowl. The ethyl acetate extract was later analyzed for chlorpyrifos content. The amount of test substance removed was used to assess adult hand exposures and dose and also to assess the theoretical amount of test substance removed when children put their hands in their mouths. 

Each of the activities conducted on the lawn was categorized as rest, light activity, or heavy activity, as the type of activity influenced the breathing rate. Frisbee and touch football were classified as heavy activity (120 min) weeding was classified as light activity (30 min) and the combination of picnicking and sunbathing was classified as rest (90 min). The total duration of the activity period was 4 hr.

The adult dermal dose resulting from contact of grass with hands was determined through a hand wash of each volunteer at the termination of the activity period. The dermal hand dose was estimated using ... 

In this physical methodology, hand-rinsing the volunteers immediately following the activity period removed some test substance from the hands if left on the hands, this substance would have had the opportunity to be absorbed and therefore would have increased the biomonitoring values. In addition, we do not currently know the efficiency of the hand rinse. It is generally thought that the efficiency of the hand rinse using anionic surfactants to remove chlorpyrifos is no better than 50%,5 a value to be determined in future research. 

Figure 7.5 Histograms illustrating typical behavioral state changes observed following bilateral lesions of dopaminergic ventral tegmental pathways in rats receiving 6-hydroxydopamine into the nucleus accumbens (217). Notable amounts of REM sleep are evident during both the major wake (1900-0700) and major sleep (0700-1900) periods. Maintenance of the rest and activity periods to the 12 12 h light dark schedule, respectively, demonstrates the relative preservation of circadian processes.

Other activators of the histaminergic system may also be involved in wakefulness. The orexin (i.e. hypocretin) A and B neuropeptides were isolated from rat hypothalamic extracts. A mutation in the orexin-2 receptor gene was found to be associated with canine narcolepsy, and mice lacking the orexin peptide display increases in REM and NREM sleep and a decrease in wakefulness time during the active period of normal rodents. However, the exact role of orexin in physiological sleep and the mechanisms involved have not yet been elucidated. 

Several studies suggest that cortistatin expression correlates with the sleep homeostat. The concentration of cortistatin mRNA oscillates with the light-dark cycle in rats, with maximal levels at the end of the dark (i.e. active) period. Further, the steady-state concentration of cortistatin mRNA increases four-fold after sleep deprivation, and returns to normal levels after sleep rebound, indicating that the expression of the peptide is associated with sleep demand (Spier de Lecea, 2000). Preliminary studies in cortical slices suggest that cortistatin-14 increases cortical synchronization by enhancing the H-current. Thus, cortistatin and somatostatin may be part of the intrinsic mechanisms of the cerebral cortex that are involved in the maintenance of excitability. 

After an activation period of 4 h, the conversion showed a maximum of 40% followed by a steady decrease in conversion (Figure 4.38). Overnight, the pressure was decreased to 6 MPa and the needle valve on the permeate side was closed. This shutdown procedure caused the catalyst to precipitate and no reaction occurred anymore. The precipitated catalyst can be used for a new cycle by pressurization of the membrane reactor, redissolving the catalyst. At the end of the third run the conversion had dropped to 33%. A TON of 1.2xl05 in 32 h (t 62 min) was obtained. ICP-AAS analysis of the permeate stream indicated complete retention of the catalyst. The authors propose possible traces of oxygen as the cause of the decrease in activity of the catalyst. 

After the activation period, the reactor temperature was decreased to 453 K, synthesis gas (H2 CO = 2 1) was introduced to the reactor, and the pressure was increased to 2.03 MPa (20.7 atm). The reactor temperature was increased to 493 K at a rate of 1 K/min, and the space velocity was maintained at 5 SL/h/gcat. The reaction products were continuously removed from the vapor space of the reactor and passed through two traps, a warm trap maintained at 373 K and a cold trap held at 273 K. The uncondensed vapor stream was reduced to atmospheric pressure through a letdown valve. The gas flow was measured using a wet test meter and analyzed by an online GC. The accumulated reactor liquid products were removed every 24 h by passing through a 2 pm sintered metal filter located below the liquid level in the CSTR. The conversions of CO and H2 were obtained by gas chromatography (GC) analysis (micro-GC equipped with thermal conductivity detectors) of the reactor exit gas mixture. The reaction products were collected in three traps maintained at different temperatures a hot trap (200°C), a warm trap (100°C), and a cold trap (0°C). The products were separated into different fractions (rewax, wax, oil, and aqueous) for quantification. However, the oil and wax fractions were mixed prior to GC analysis. 

At this point, the system was tested with catalyst for activation and FTS, in the hopes that the seal leak rates would be impeded by the presence of small catalyst particles. The FTFE 20-B catalyst (L-3950) (Fe, 50.2% Cu, 4.2% K, 1.5% and Si, 2.4%) was utilized. This is part of the batch used for LaPorte FTS run II.20 The catalyst was activated at 543 K with CO at a space velocity (SV) of 9 sl/h/g catalyst for 48 h. A total of 1,100 g of catalyst was taken and 7.9 L of C30 oil was used as the start-up solvent. At the end of the activation period, an attempt was made for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis at 503 K, 175 psig, syngas SV = 9 sl/h/g catalyst, and H2/CO = 0.7. However, the catalyst was found to be completely inactive for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. Potential reasons for catalyst poisoning under present experimental conditions were investigated. Sulfur and fluorine are known to poison iron-based Fischer-Tropsch catalysts.21,22 Since the stator of the pump is... 

To determine the practical effects of mosquito coils, field trials were conducted in tropical households against indoor night biting mosquitoes, particularly C. quinquefasciatus using the Human Bare-Leg technique [4], The trials were conducted from 21 00 to 01 00 the next morning, in order to coincide with the peak activity period of C. quinquefasciatus. 

In order to look at the probable duration of treatment with topical agents for colonic drug delivery, we have conducted studies with normal subjects and patients with left-sided colitis. The subjects and patients were dosed daily with indium-Ill-labeled amberlite resin and imaged throughout the day. On the fourth, the division of activity in the colon was 67% in the proximal half and 33% in the distal half day for the control subjects, whereas for the patients with colitis the distribution was 90 10. These data emphasize the problem of treating left-sided colitis effectively during active periods of disease. 

In summary, the extinct radioactivities which have a limited time of existence in the solar system, constrain the time interval between the late stages of stellar nucleosynthesis and the formation of the solar system. Some production may also occur within the solar system during active periods of the young Sun. There have been numerous studies about how this matter was added into the solar system as a late spike of about 10 solar masses of freshly stellar processed material or from constant production in the galaxy (Wasserburg et al. 1996 Goswami and Vanhala 2000 Russell et al. 2001). These models are refined constantly with the input of new data and will probably continue to evolve in the future.
