Siemens Westinghouse, in conjunction with Ontario Hydro Technologies, tested AES cells at pressures up to 15 atmospheres on both hydrogen and natural gas (22). Figure 8-8 illustrates the performance at various pressures ...

Westinghouse AES cells have shown less than 0.2 % voltage degradation per 1000 hours in a 25 kW stack operated for over 13,000 hours (22). 

Spodoptera frugiperda IPLB-Sf21-AE cell line, simply named Sf21, was originally established by Vaughn et al. in 1977. Sf9 is a clone derived from Sf21 by the same authors [51]. 

There are two distinct types of GSH-S deficiency, both associated with mild chronic hemolysis in one type, hemolysis is the only clinical manifestation. In the other, the major clinical features are mental retardation, severe generalized muscle weakness, tremors, incoordination, hemolytic anemia, and metabolic acidosis. This second and much more severe type of GSH-S deficiency is also known as 5-oxopro-linurta or pyroglutamic aciduria. The difference in severity of these disorders reflects the fact that in the mild form, GSH-S deficiency is confined to the RBCs because in this disorder the GSH-S is unstable. GSH-S activity is present in adequate quantity in young RBCs, but it rapidly declines as the cells age, because the cells are unable to synthesize new molecules of GHS-S. Other cells of the body that have nuclei and ribosomes can compensate for accelerated denaturation of GSH-S by synthesizing more. On the other hand, in the severe systemic form of GSH-S deficiency, aE cells of the body have low activities of GSH-S because they cannot form this enzyme in adequate amounts. In both types of GSH-S deficiency, RBCs exhibit notable reduction in GSH concentration.

We found that the addition of either PCS or partial hepatectomy increased cell survival. The group of animals that received both a PCS and partial hepatectomy demonstrated a marked increase in overall cellularity with acinar and tubule formation evident. The increase in cellularity was evaluated using image analysis and morphometric quantification and demonstrated a 1-2 fold increase with hepatectomy alone, and a sixfold increase when hepatectomy was combined with PCS. We have made substantial progress in our efforts to restore liver function with our approach however, to apply this technology as replacement therapy we may need to expand Ae cell population in vivo. We hope to stimulate transplanted cells with controlled release of hepatotrophic factors at the implantation site using previously described techniques (34). 

In potentiometric analysis, the indicator and the reference electrodes are in the measurement cell and the AE cell voltage is measured between them. In most of the cases, the reference electrode with a constant potential is selected. The potential of the indicating electrode depends on the concentration of the analyte. In a favorable case, the applied... 

Ry for TiHj corresponds to a removal of 0.33 electrons based on a rigid band treatment of the fully stoichiometric TiH2 DOS. This variation of Ep is in reasonable agreement with the conclusions reached by one of us[15], where to achieve agreement with the experimental specific heat data using the undistorted stoichiometric DOS the empirical relationship AE/cell = 0.72 Ax was used. It would be interesting to see if the smaller variation with x assumed for ZrH in Ref. [15] would be consistent with the CPA results for this system. 

Both types of scan-heads were mounted on an inverted microscope and, therefore, glass-bottom petri dishes were used to view the cells. After Ae cells had settled on the glass surface ( 5 min), the medium was replaced by phosphate buffer and the cells were flattened by agar overlay [20]. This reduced the high mobUity of centrosomes in the z-direction and the number of z-levels required to follow the centrosome. The time delay between each stack was 10 s. Under these conditions, the Dictyostelium mutants were viewed at 21 for up... 

The variation of cell voltage with different pressures and current density is shown in Fig. 4.5 (listed for AES cells, Siemens Westinghouse Corporation).
