Anchorages

Concrete interior piers required for towers with standard colunms or when interior-column anchorage is necessary... 

If there are smeary particles which have an almost pastelike behavior and barely flow (high angle of repose), frictional anchorage of these onto the other particles in the mixture may be necessary in order to achieve good mixing. 

The muller is useful for mixing problems requiring certain types of aggregate breakdown, fricdional anchorage of particles to one another, and densification of the final mix. Materials which are excessively fluid or sticky should be avoided. The muller mixer is generally used for batch operations (Fig. 19-9g), although Fig. 19-9/j shows a continuous muller. 

New types of anodes have been developed and tested as shown in Fig. 16-5 to improve the possibility of maintenance and repair. They can be lifted onto a ship and repaired. The connecting cables are also replaceable. In shallow water, the anchorage must be accurately calculated because considerable dynamic stressing can occur in heavy seas. The ocean floor must be suitable for long-term anchorage. No supply ships must anchor in the area around the platform. This requirement alone often prevents the installation of impressed current anodes since the operator does not wish or is not able to restrict himself to these conditions. 

Hydrosilation silicones or addition cure systems utilize a hydride functional crosslinker with a vinyl functional base polymer and a noble metal catalyst. While the cure can be initiated with UV [48,49], thermal cure versions dominate the commercial market [23,50]. In thermal cure systems, inhibitors are necessary for processing and anchorage additives are common. 

Advantages of the hydrosilation system (Fig. 3) include the elimination of solvent, improved cure speed, and potential for UV or thermal cure. Drawbacks to the system include more expensive multiroll coating methods, potential poisoning of the Pt catalyst (with Sn, S, Cr, amines, etc.), poor anchorage to some films, and a need to carefully balance the hydride to vinyl ratio employed for cure to avoid detrimental interactions with acid containing adhesives [23,53]. 

Advantages of the epoxy systems are the absence of solvent, UV initiated cure that does not require inerting, a wide range of release levels possible and excellent anchorage to film. Disadvantages include cure inhibition on basic substrates and the need to carefully balance formulation cure speed and completeness with release properties. 

Silicone acrylates (Fig. 5) are again lower molecular weight base polymers that contain multiple functional groups. As in epoxy systems, the ratio of PDMS to functional material governs properties of release, anchorage, transfer, cure speed, etc. Radiation induced radical cure can be initiated with either exposure of photo initiators and sensitizers to UV light [22,46,71 ] or by electron beam irradiation of the sample. 

The apertures in sintered metal elements can be made so small that this arrester is able to quench detonations provided that it has sufficient mechanical strength. Particular care is required to ensure a secure anchorage of the sintered element to prevent leakage around the element caused by the impact of the shockwave (HSE 1980). 

The substructure should be restrained against up-lift, if necessary, by a suitable dead weight or a hold-down anchor. The weight of the hoist and vehicle, where applicable, may be considered as part or all of the required anchorage. 

N-AChE (in puiple) The N-terminus extension may serve as a transmembrane domain, enabling AChE-R anchorage to the membrane without ColQ/ PRiMA. In principle, N-AChE-S, N-AChE-E and N-AChE-R, may exist.

The normal rat kidney (NRK) cell line is an untransformed cell line established from rat kidney cells. However, when NRK cells are treated with both TGF alpha and TGF beta, the cells assume a transformed phenotype. In addition to exhibiting an altered morphology in monolayer culture, NRK cells possess the capacity for anchorage-independent growth while being treated with both TGF alpha and TGF... 

Surface interactions play an important role in the ability of certain animal cells to grow and produce the desired bioproducts. An understanding of the dynamics of cell surface interactions in these "anchorage-dependent" cells (cells that function well only when attached to a surface) will be needed, for example, to improve the design of bioreactors for growing animal cells. 

One problem mentioned earlier is that certain animal cells are anchorage-dependent. Also, plant and animal cells are easily raptured by mechanical shear. Bioreactors for handhng such cells must be designed so that the contents of the reactor can be mixed without disrupting the cells. A similar problem exists in the design of systems to transfer the cells from one vessel to another.
