We can guess that an invisible partner exists by observing the periodic back and forth motion of the visible star. The bright star Sirius in Canis Major was first thought to be an astrometric binary until 1862, when telescopes helped us...

The occupational origin of many cases of tinea corporis is obvious and closely related to the species of the dermatophyte. Among others, the most common species are Microsporum canis (major hosts cat, dog). Trichophyton mentagrophytes (small rodents), M. persicolor (voles), T. verrucosum (cattle), and T. equinum (horses). M. praecox, living in the horse environment, is a pathogen for human skin. Extensive forms of dermatophytosis occurring mainly on the trunk and/or buttocks may be due to T. rubrum, an anthropophilic species of dermatophyte.

In all of these systems, the rate of generation at the gas-solid interface is so rapid that only a small fraction is canied away from the particle surface by convective heat uansfer. The major source of heat loss from the particles is radiation loss to tire suiTounding atmosphere, and the loss per particle may be estimated using unity for both the view factor and the emissivity as an upper limit from tlris source. The practical observation is that the solids in all of these methods of roasting reach temperatures of about 1200-1800 K. 

Skins with bonded doublers have been used successfully on a large number of civil aircraft and are still used on new designs. The only widespread in-service problem with bonded doubler assemblies has been delamination caused by unstable surface preparation. Early fuselage skins with bonded doublers and inadequate surface preparation experienced severe delamination and subsequent corrosion. A majority of these delaminated doublers were the fail-safe tear straps (Fig. 27). Although the tear strap bond does not cany structural load, the bond... 

Hazard analysis (HAZAN) is a quantitative way of assessing the likelihood of failure. Other names associated with this technique are risk analysis, quantitative risk assessment (QRA), and probability risk assessment (PRA). Keltz [44] expressed the view that HAZAN is a selective technique while HAZOP can be readily applied to new design and major modification. Some limitations of HAZOP are its inability to detect every weakness in design such as in plant layout, or miss hazards due to leaks on lines that pass through or close to a unit but cany material that is not used on that unit. In any case, hazards should... 

The Department of Energy operates seventeen major national laboratories and thirteen minor facilities in the United States that cany out energy research and development, basic science, and defense weapons work. The combined budgets for these laboratories exceed 6 billion annually, with a scientific and technical staff of more than thirty-thousand. 

This class of lymphocytes differentiates from immuno-logically incompetent hematopoietic stem cells of the bone marrow within the thymus - hence, the name thymus-dependent (T-) lymphocytes. Two major subclasses develop simultaneously, T-helper lymphocytes (Th) and cytotoxic effector lymphocytes (Tc). The cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (carrying on the surface the differentiation marker CD8) destroy cells, which cany their cognate antigen bound to MHC class I molecules on the surface by inducing apoptosis. From an evolutionary point of view Tc cells appear to have developed predominantly to cope with vims infections. As vituses can only replicate within cells, Tc eliminate them by destroying their producers.

Concentrations of major cations in all samples were determined by acetylene flame Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy at the Trace Element Analytical Laboratories (TEAL) of McGill University. Analyses of trace element concentrations were canied out using Inductively Coupled Plasma Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry (also at TEAL). Concentrations of anions were determined by Ion Chromatography at the Hydrogeology Laboratory at McGill University. 

A mammal may emit many volatile compounds. Humans, for instance, give off hundreds of volatiles, many of them chemically identified (Ellin etal., 1974). The volatiles include many classes of compound such as acids (gerbil), ketones, lactones, sulfides (golden hamster), phenolics (beaver, elephant), acetates (mouse), terpenes (elephant), butyrate esters (tamarins), among others. The human samples mentioned before contained hydrocarbons, unsaturated hydrocarbons, alcohols, acids, ketones, aldehydes, esters, nitriles, aromatics, heterocyclics, sulfur compounds, ethers, and halogenated hydrocarbons. Sulfur compounds are found in carnivores, such as foxes, coyotes, or mustelids. The major volatile compound in urine of female coyotes, Canis latrans, is methyl 3-methylhut-3-enyl sulfide, which accounts for at least 50% of all urinary volatiles (Schultz etal, 1988). 

A major hurdle to building trust In any situation can be the stereot es of mistrust that you may cany around with you. An overtrusting nature Is not necessarily desirable either. As always a balance Is needed. But a relationship of trust cannot develop while any party Is not prepared to trust another. Openness, taken a step at a time, enables you to veiUdate your perceptions of others as trustworthy or not. 

Dehydration of the Alcohol. Several investigators have reported that dehydration sometimes accompanies reduction of a ketone and that an olefin is obtained as the major product. Usually, but not always, an abnormally high temperature was used to cany out the reduction. For example, d-pulegone (XXVIII) upon reduction at 120 to 170° for twenty hours gave over 40% of a mixture of menthadienes (XXX) and only 5 to 10% of the carbinols (XXIX). 80 Even under these drastic...
