Attraction traps

Traps can also be classified as an attractive type or a physical type [65], In the case of attractive traps, the forces acting on hydrogen in the metal lattice can be... 

The male responds to one attractant pheromone component and is inhibited by two others. Surveys with small attractant traps have been shown to be extremely effective in catching male spruce budworms in areas where conventional larval sampling has failed to locate any insects. Again, the potential use of the attractant is considerable, but implementation of the system for monitoring low density populations requires calibration of the catches with population density which must await the decline of the current extensive infestations to endemic levels. (570). Sanders (570) has summarized the results of a semi-operational attempt at disruption of spruce budworm mating by the synthetic attractant in Ontario in 1977 Semi-operational trials of the aerial dispersion of the synthetic attractant of the eastern spruce budworm from aircraft have... 

When an atom or molecule approaches a surface, it feels an attractive force. The interaction potential between the atom or molecule and the surface, which depends on the distance between the molecule and the surface and on the lateral position above the surface, detemiines the strength of this force. The incoming molecule feels this potential, and upon adsorption becomes trapped near the minimum m the well. Often the molecule has to overcome an activation barrier, before adsorption can occur. 

The lignitic coals of the northern United States tend to have low sulfur contents, making them attractive for boilet fuels to meet sulfur-emission standards. However, low sulfur content coals have impaired the performance of electrostatic precipitators. The ash of these coals tends to be high in alkaline earths (Ca, Mg) and alkaUes (Na, K). As a result, the ash can trap sulfur as sulfites and sulfates (see Airpollution control methods). 

Drops coalesce because of coUisions and drainage of Hquid trapped between colliding drops. Therefore, coalescence frequency can be defined as the product of coUision frequency and efficiency per coUision. The coUision frequency depends on number of drops and flow parameters such as shear rate and fluid forces. The coUision efficiency is a function of Hquid drainage rate, surface forces, and attractive forces such as van der Waal s. Because dispersed phase drop size depends on physical properties which are sometimes difficult to measure, it becomes necessary to carry out laboratory experiments to define the process mixing requirements. A suitable mixing system can then be designed based on satisfying these requirements. 

Finally, an ingenious synthetic sequence by Trost, Cossy and Burks201 includes a unique desulphonylation reaction that involves an electron-transfer process. The synthetic sequence uses 1, l-bis(phenylsulphonyl)cyclopropane as a source of three carbon atoms, since this species is readily alkylated even by weakly nucleophilic species. Given an appropriate structure for the nucleophile, Trost found that desulphonylation with lithium phenanthrenide in an aprotic solvent allowed for an efficient intramolecular trapping of the resultant carbanion (equation 88). This desulphonylation process occurs under very mild conditions and in high yields it will undoubtedly attract further interest. 

Mannitol is used as the dusty coating on chewing gum it keeps the gum from absorbing moisture and getting sticky. This is due to its humectant (moisture-trapping) properties and very low hygroscop-icity (meaning that it does not attract moisture from the air). 

Behavioral and Hormonal Chemicals. Sex pheromones, which attract pests to traps, are used effectively to control some insect pests, like the grape berry moth (46) and cabbage looper. With other Insect pests, sex pheromones have been effectively used to monitor the size of pest insect populations to determine when pesticide treatments should be made.
