Capture curves

The flow net is a helpful tool for depicting the area of an aquifer from which a well captures water. It is essential to be able to delineate this area to avoid pulling contaminated groundwater into a well used for drinking water production areas of known contamination must lie outside the well s capture zone. Alternatively, if a well is to be used for groundwater remediation (removal of contaminated groundwater), the capture zone must enclose the contaminated areas. Capture curves, which are the boundaries of capture zones, may be drawn readily by inspection if a flow net is available the capture zone includes all stream tubes that terminate in the well. The following are two examples of capture curves. 

Figure C 1.4.6. Comparison of capture velocity for Doppler cooling and Tin-periD-lin sub-Doppler cooling. Notice tliat tire slope of tire curves, proportional to tire friction coefficient, is much steeper for tire sub-Doppler mechanism. (After [17].)...

Lm. The coarseness results from the relatively low power dissipation per mass on distillation trays. This means that it is relatively easy to remove by a device such as a wire mesh pad. Over 50 percent is typically captured by the underside of the next higher tray or by a turn in the piping leaving an evaporator. Conversely, though small on a mass basis, the smaller drops are extremely numerous. On a number basis, more than one-half of the drops in the lower curve are under 5 [Lm. These can sei ve as nuclei for fog condensation in downstream equipment. 

Figure 13.36 is a plot of the preceding equation for the three types of hoods. The plot shows the curve for the actual and the worst hoods requiring a hood flow rate larger than the plume flow rate in order to get 99% fume capture. 

Recently, we have developed a full theoretical treatment of electron capture processes involving an ab initio molecular calculation of the potential energy curves and of the radial and rotational couplings followed, according to the collision energy range concerned, by a semi-classical [21-23] orquantal [24] collision treatment. 

The main features of the radial coupling matrix elements are presented in Fig. 2. In correspondence with the avoided crossings between the potential energy curves of singleelectron capture, sharp peaked functions appear at respectively 6.35, 7.50 and 8.30 a.u.. They are approximately 1.23, 2.53 and 12.21 a.u. high and respectively 0.75, 0.50 and less than 0.10 a.u. wide at half height. 

The potential energy curves of the Z" and 11 states are presented in Fig. 4. They show four avoided crossings in the range 15.0-10.0 a.u.] between the entry channel, the state corresponding to N +(ls2p3s) -t- He )and the three states of single-electron capture N +(ls2s3/) L-i-He+). 

Assuming the contribution of the potential energy curves which have not been taken into account to be almost constant with the collision energy, such calculations could provide a relative estimate of the variation of the double capture cross-sections with the collision energy. The results presented in Fig. 7 seem to be coherent with this hypothesis and to corroborate a cascade effect for the double electron capture process. 

In the Hybrid-Capture assay (Digene), a full-length RNA probe is hybridized to denatured HBV DNA in solution and the hybrids are captured on the surface of a tube coated with anti DNA RNA hybrid antibody. The bound hybrids are reacted with antihybrid antibody labeled with alkaline phosphatase. A chemiluminescent substrate is converted to a luminescent compound by the bound alkaline phosphatase. Light emission is measured in a luminometer and the concentration of HBV DNA, in pg/ml, is determined from a standard curve. The concentrations of the standards are determined spectrometrically (A260nm/A280nm). 

Experimentally derived potential energy curves are shown in Figures 10 and 11. (Note that only one particle size is illustrated, namely, 10 pm.) The shape of these potential energy curves as a function of ionic strength, solution pH, particle and surface composition, etc. may be used to explain the effect of some of these variables on particle capture and... 

If one takes into account not only the initial slope of the curves but also the part played by the formation of isobutyrate it can be seen that the amount of reaction products formed is almost equivalent to the loss of DiPK. In this case the formation of isobutyric acid represents the most important difference compared with irradiation without additive. It shows that in the presence of nitroxide the acyl radical may not only be captured by oxygen but can also react further as acyl-peroxy radical, without losing its carbonyl group in the process. 

Figure 3a shows the mean-field predictions for the polymer phase diagram for a range of values for Ep/Ec and B/Ec. The corresponding simulation results are shown in Fig. 3b. As can be seen from the figure, the mean-field theory captures the essential features of the polymer phase diagram and provides even fair quantitative agreement with the numerical results. A qualitative flaw of the mean-field model is that it fails to reproduce the crossing of the melting curves at 0 = 0.73. It is likely that this discrepancy is due to the neglect of the concentration dependence of XeS Improved estimates for Xeff at high densities can be obtained from series expansions based on the lattice-cluster theory [68,69].

Figure 15.9 The results of capture ELISA on native RNase A and formalin-treated RNase A. Right panel, native RNase A (curve 1) and unfractionated formalin-treated RNase A (curve 2). Left panel, individual fractions of formalin-treated RNase A monomer (curve 3), dimmer (curve 4), trimer (curve 5), tetramer (curve 6), and a mixture of oligomers with >5 cross-linked proteins (curve 7). The ELISA plate wells were coated with monoclonal antibody against bovine pancreatic RNase A (1 pg/mL) overnight at 4°C and then blocked with bovine serum albumin. The wells were incubated for lh at 37°C in the presence of various concentrations of antigen in lOOpL of PBS. After washing, each plate well received a 1 4000 dilution of horseradish peroxidase conjugated rabbit polyclonal anti-RNase A antibody followed by incubation at ambient temperature for lh. After washing, detection was achieved using a mixture of 2,2,-azino-di-(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonate) and hydrogen peroxide. Absorbance was monitored at 405 nm. See Rait etal.11 for details.
