It is a commercial website used to compute 2,000 descriptors including absorption, distribution, metabolism, elimination and toxicity (ADMET)-relevant properties like caco-2 cell permeabihty, blood-brain barrier, human intestinal absorption, etc. [56]. It also comes with a drawing tool and libraiy builder. 

Although extraction of lipids from membranes can be induced in atomic force apparatus (Leckband et al., 1994) and biomembrane force probe (Evans et al., 1991) experiments, spontaneous dissociation of a lipid from a membrane occurs very rarely because it involves an energy barrier of about 20 kcal/mol (Cevc and Marsh, 1987). However, lipids are known to be extracted from membranes by various enzymes. One such enzyme is phospholipase A2 (PLA2), which complexes with membrane surfaces, destabilizes a phospholipid, extracts it from the membrane, and catalyzes the hydrolysis reaction of the srir2-acyl chain of the lipid, producing lysophospholipids and fatty acids (Slotboom et al., 1982 Dennis, 1983 Jain et al., 1995). SMD simulations were employed to investigate the extraction of a lipid molecule from a DLPE monolayer by human synovial PLA2 (see Eig. 6b), and to compare this process to the extraction of a lipid from a lipid monolayer into the aqueous phase (Stepaniants et al., 1997). 

Concerning the distribution of a drug, models have been published for log BB blood/brain partition coefficient) for CNS-active drugs (CNS, central nervous system) crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) [38-45] and binding to human serum albumin (HSA) [46]. 

Site characterization studies include a surface-based testing program, potential environmental impact, and societal aspects of the repository. Performance assessment considers both the engineered barriers and the geologic environment. Among features being studied are the normal water flow, some release of carbon-14, and abnormal events such as volcanic activity and human intmsion. The expected date for operation of the repository is 2013. 

Sites made suitable for use by human-made physical barriers shall not be located where improper operations or maintenance of such structures could permit the waste, leachate, or gases to contact usable groundwater or surface water.

Figure 3 Anharmonicity factor versus quasi-harmomc mode number from a 200 ps vacuum simulation of BPTI. It can be seen that beyond about the 200th mode the anharmonicity factors are about 1.0, indicating harmomcity. Those below mode number 200 show progressively greater anharmonicity factors, indicating that they span a space within which energy barriers are crossed. A similar picture was found for a I ns simulation of human lysozyme m water [61]. (Adapted from Ref. II.)...

Another barrier to a systematic consideration of human error is the belief that increasing computerization and automation of process plants will make the human unnecessary. The fallacy of this belief can be shown from the numerous accidents that have arisen in computer controlled plants. In addition, considerable human involvement will continue to be necessary in the critical areas of maintenance and plant modification, even in the most automated process (see Chapter 2 for a further discussion of this issue). 

In the previous chapter, a comprehensive description was provided, from four complementary perspectives, of the process of how human errors arise during the tasks typically carried out in the chemical process industry (CPI). In other words, the primary concern was with the process of error causation. In this chapter the emphasis will be on the why of error causation. In terms of the system-induced error model presented in Chapter 1, errors can be seen as arising from the conjunction of an error inducing environment, the intrinsic error tendencies of the human and some initiating event which triggers the error sequence from this imstable situation (see Figure 1.5, Chapter 1). This error sequence may then go on to lead to an accident if no barrier or recovery process intervenes. Chapter 2 describes in detail the characteristics of the basic human error tendencies. Chapter 3 describes factors which combine with these tendencies to create the error-likely situation. These factors are called performance-influencing factors or PIFs. 

Analyze Barriers and Potential Human Performance Difficulties During this phase of the analysis process, the barriers that have been breached by the accident are identified. TTiese barriers could include existing safety systems, guards, containment, etc. This analysis is called barrier analysis. The causal factors from SORTM are also applied in more detail.
