Aggregation-body

Rapid settling of coccoliths as large aggregate bodies, limiting the exposure for long periods of time of their high surface areas to the water column. [Pg.150]

The second factor, settling as aggregate bodies, has received a great deal of attention in recent studies. The primary mechanism for aggregation of coccoliths has been clearly shown to be grazing by zooplankton and encapsulation in fecal matter. The general model of Honjo (1976) for this complex process is presented in Figure 4.14. Notice that several processes are involved before discrete coccoliths are susceptible to solution in deep water. Honjo s paper and that of Schneidermann (1977) both present detailed discussions of coccolith distribution and sedimentation. [Pg.150]

Universal Chemistry is the Art of resolving mixt, compound, or aggregate Bodies into their Principles, and of composing such Bodies from those Principles. [Pg.170]

In the general sense, chemistry was the art of resolving mixed, compound, or aggregate bodies into their principles, and then of composing such bodies from those [same] principles. So, the object of chemistry was resolution and combination, or, if it made more sense, destruction and generation. What one ended up with was a theoretical understanding of the structure of nature, and, just as importantly, pharmaceutical, mechanical, economical, and practical know how. [Pg.152]

The methods involved in the production of proteins in microbes are those of gene expression. Several plasmids for expression of proteins having affinity tails at the C- or N-terminus of the protein have been developed. These tails are usefiil in the isolation of recombinant proteins. Most of these vectors are commercially available along with the reagents that are necessary for protein purification. A majority of recombinant proteins that have been attempted have been produced in E. Coli (1). In most cases these recombinant proteins formed aggregates resulting in the formation of inclusion bodies. These inclusion bodies must be denatured and refolded to obtain active protein, and the affinity tails are usefiil in the purification of the protein. Some of the methods described herein involve identification of functional domains in proteins (see also Protein engineering). [Pg.247]

Gels are viscoelastic bodies that have intercoimected pores of submicrometric dimensions. A gel typically consists of at least two phases, a soHd network that entraps a Hquid phase. The term gel embraces numerous combinations of substances, which can be classified into the following categories (2) (/) weU-ordered lamellar stmctures (2) covalent polymeric networks that are completely disordered (2) polymer networks formed through physical aggregation that are predominantly disordered and (4) particular disordered stmctures. [Pg.248]

Thus, it can be said that in practically all activities there are risks to health related to the presence of chemical agents. To evaluate their severity we should consider whether the exposure occurs continuously or at irregular intervals, the possible entry routes to the body, the concentration changes with time and place, as well as the aggregation state of the contaminant in liquid, dust, mist, fume, or vapor form. [Pg.362]

The structure formation in an ER fluid was simulated [99]. The characteristic parameter is the ratio of the Brownian force to the dipolar force. Over a wide range of this ratio there is rapid chain formation followed by aggregation of chains into thick columns with a body-centered tetragonal structure observed. Above a threshold of the intensity of an external ahgn-ing field, condensation of the particles happens [100]. This effect has also been studied for MR fluids [101]. The rheological behavior of ER fluids [102] depends on the structure formed chainlike, shear-string, or liquid. Coexistence in dipolar fluids in a field [103], for a Stockmayer fluid in an applied field [104], and the structure of soft-sphere dipolar fluids were investigated [105], and ferroelectric phases were found [106]. An island of vapor-liquid coexistence was found for dipolar hard spherocylinders [107]. It exists between a phase where the particles form chains of dipoles in a nose-to-tail... [Pg.764]

According to the amyloid hypothesis, the A 3 peptide plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer s disease [1]. Major forms of A 3 produced encompass 38, 40 or 42 residues. A 342 is more prone to aggregation than A 340 and in animal models an increased A[342/ A (340 ratio results in amyloid plaque pathology even when total A 3 levels are reduced [4]. The generation of A 3 is a normal process and A 3 is present in the brains and body fluids of humans throughout life. Neuronal... [Pg.66]

Radioactive metal ions that have short half-lives are being intensely studied as pharmaceuticals. The strategy is to attach a well-designed ligand to the metal ion so that the complex very selectively aggregates in one particular type of body tissue. What properties of the ligand are important to... [Pg.846]

This includes all of the atoms in your own body and in all other living things, which have also been permanent residents of the Earth through the eons. This means that the Earth is an essentially closed system with respect to atomic matter, and is therefore governed by the law of conservation of mass. This law dictates that all of the Earth s molecules must be made of the same aggregation of atoms even though molecular forms may vary, evolve, and be transported within and around the planetary system. Pollution, therefore, is a human-induced change in the distribution of atoms from one place on Earth to another. [Pg.3]

A recent development in understanding the reactivity of bases has focused on their structures in solution and in the crystalline state. Due to the importance of dialkyl amide bases, there is a significant body of work, led by Williard and Collum , that has attempted to understand the structures of these reactive molecules. It is clear that they are aggregates. Lithium diisopropylamide (LiN/-Pr2) was isolated from a THF solution and X-ray crystallography revealed a dimeric structure (13 R = i-Pr, S = THF) in the... [Pg.348]

Agglutination. The aggregation of bacterial cells into agglutinates enabling phagocytes to eliminate these cells rapidly firm the body. [Pg.291]

The Arthus reaction. The phenomenon is a local one and occurs if a soluble antigen is introduced into the body when there is a great excess of antibody. The union between the two results in an acute inflammatory reachon which may involve complement, polymorphs, lymphokines or platelet aggregation, all of which enhance the inflammatoiy response. [Pg.300]
