Fig. 14A-E Double-staining for BrdU and mature neuronal markers in DGL. A In control monkey DGL BrdU+ cells (arrows) were distinct from NeuN+ cells. B On day 9 after ischemia BrdU+/NeuN+ cells (arrows) were observed in the innermost layers of granule cells. C BrdU+/NeuN+ cells were seen up to day 79 (arrows). D The cell framed in C is shown in serial sectioning at various depths to confirm the colocalization of the two signals. E An example of cell double-stained for BrdU/GAD (arrows) on day 79. Scale bar = 10 pm...

Comparison of the density of BrdU+ cells on postischemic day 9 (showing peak proliferation) revealed that the highest density was present in ventral SVZa (125 cells/frame), followed by anterior SVZa (75 cells/frame), while caudate and dor-... 

For the manufacture a cylindrical silicon single crystal is first sawed to produce the outer windows. In a second step the probe room is drilled out After final polishing of the inner and outer windows the cell can be fixed with only one lead gasket to the cryostat body. It is essential that the cell frame is made from Vacodil 36. This steel has nearly the same coefficient of expansion as silicon and allows the gas-tight connection between the cell and the cryostat body (see Fig. 1). 

The permeate flux increases with increasing feed velocity due to the reduction of the boundary layer thickness. Therefore, the temperamre and concentration at the liquid-vapor interface are approaching values close to those in the bulk solution. Garcia et al. [71] have observed that the feed pressure measured at the inlet of the feed cell frame increased with an increase in the feed flow rate consequently increasing the risk of membrane wetting. 

Electro-insulation materials. The retention of dielectric properties in a high-temperature environment, coupled with good corrosion resistance in contact with certain reactive chemicals, suggests excellent possibilities of polybenzimidazole use in electrical insulation and other dielectric applications at high operating temperatures and/or in aggressive chemical environments. Typical applications, hence, can be foimd in special cable and wire insulation, in the manufacture of circuit boards and radomes for supersonic aircraft, as battery and electrolytic cell separators, and as fuel cell frame structural materials. Some recent publications in the patent and technical report literature may serve to illustrate such applications. 

Fig. 10 High-resolution Z-contrast imaging. Z-contrast image of a grain boundary in SrTi03 (perovskite structure) recorded in 0 0 1 direction. One of the unit cells framed in the micrograph is illustrated on the left, the Sr columns (bright) are at the corner of the unit cell, in the center there is a TiO column. The pure oxygen columns, black in the model, are not observable in the Z-contrast image. The atomic number (Z) contrast is apparent with increasing atomic number (Z) of the elements, the intensity increases. (View this art in color at WWW. dekker. com.)...

The Hooker MX, Allied PCF, and Ionics Chloromate electrolyzers are all bipolar designs that utilize plastic cell frames The electrolytic area of these cells is typically 1.2-1 5 per cell unit The electrolyzers are typically composed of 10-50 cell units Power consumptions are reported to be 2750 KWH/metric ton of NaOH operating at 3KA/M current density at 95% current efficiency producing 35% caustic soda (65,69,70) ...

Different material combinations for practical realization of fuel cells have been developed in the past few decades [3] comprehensive overviews about the technology have been published [4], Possible operation temperatures of fuel cells range from ambient temperature to 1,000°C. The operation principle of the different fuel cells is depicted in Fig. 1. The main components are the same for all types of fuel cells and comprise an electrolyte, catalytically active electrodes, and a cell frame for gas distribution and current collection. Regular nanostrucmres are not typically used until now, but nanomaterials for preparation of layers are frequently the best base materials. Some examples will be given in the description of the five types of fuel cells in this introductory chapter. 

Cell frames contain a system of gas channels integrated in the bipolar plate, the so-called flow field for the distribution of fuel and air evenly over the entire active electrode area of the anode and the cathode the dimensions of channels and ribs are usually in the millimetre range. The cell frames act as well as current collectors, and thus a good electrical conductivity is required, fn addition, the ceU frames can contain cooling channels, either for air cooling or for liquid cooling. Various cooling concepts have already been realised. 

CR-61 membranes supplied by Ionics Incorporated, (Watertown, MA), were the only kind used in our electrodialysis experiments. Nafione membranes were mounted on electrodialysis cell frames and in some cases tested for leaks, but we did not have the opportunity to use them in an actual electrodialysis run. 

Figure 3.8 shows one type of completely demountable cell for liquids. The parts are laid out in order of assembly as follows cell frame, supporting gasket, window spacer(s), window with holes, gasket, metal plate with holes for syringes and Teflon stoppers, O rings, and the screw-on cover for tightening the cell.

Asahi Kasei Chemicals. Asahi Kasei s electrolyzer (Acilyzer-ML ) [90-93] is a filter-press type bipolar cell holding a series of cell frames up to a total of 180. The right side of Fig. 5.24 shows a fient view of the cell frame and the bipolar cell element. The left side shows a cross-sectional view or two cell frames with the membrane in between. Various components are labeled. A unit cell consists of the anode compartment from one bipolar cell frame, a membrane, and the cathode compartment of a second bipolar cell frame. 

The Asahi Kasei electrolyzer can operate at pressmes up to 100 kPa. Its structure is strong enough to allow an operator to stand on top of the cell frame during maintenance, thereby eliminating the need for a separate maintenance area. 

In some cases, the fuel is supplied as-is to the FC, for example, the bioethanol-water mixture described by Devianto et al. [17] however, several negative effects, such as a decrease in performance due to low H2 content, electrolyte loss due to evaporation, and corrosion of the anode cell frame, have been reported.
