The FIA system consisted of TMI modules (Tecniques Mesura Instrumentacio), a five-channel peristaltic pump, an eight-channel injection valve, an eight-channel distributed valve, and a colorimeter connected to an interface and to an IBM-PC microcomputer. A specific application software, Qcontroll , was used for data acquisition, with a continuous historical trend, and a scheduled control program for sequential analysis. In a previous scheme as in Fig. 1, free enzymes were used and the whole system was calibrated for a linear range of 0.05-1.0 g of ethanol/ L of standard ethanol solutions, and the product of the reaction was passed through the colorimeter.

Monocrystalline, macro- and mesoporous silicon were used for the electrochemical deposition of Pt. A 10 pm thick macroporous silicon layer was formed by anodizing of p-type Si wafers of 12 Ohm-cm resistivity in an aqueous solution of HF acid and DMSO (10 46 by volume parts) at the current density of 8 mA-cm [1]. Pore channels distributed with the surface density of 6T0 cm look like long straight holes with inlet diameters of 1.5 pm. An uniform 1 pm thick mesoporous silicon layer was fabricated by anodizing of n" -type Si wafers of 0.01 Ohm-cm resistivity in a solution of HF acid, water and isopropanol (1 3 1 by volume parts) at the current density of 60 mA-cm . The mesoporous silicon sample formed looks like Si layer perpendicularly pierced through by pore channels with diameter of about 20 nm. The number of pores per square centimetre is up to 2-10 [2]. 

In ID models it is assumed that gases and potentials are uniformly distributed in the cell lateral cross section. Although this assumption may work in some fragments of the cell, on the scales of the whole cell it is far from real (cf. Fig. 19). There are two main factors that disturb uniformity. First, channels and ribs alternate along the y axis, that is, domains of fixed gas concentration and zero normal current alternate with domains of fixed potential and zero flux of gases. This leads to a complicated 2D field of concentrations and currents in a plane, perpendicular to the channel axis. Second, the feed gas is consumed as it moves along the channel, which leads to nonuniform along-the-channel distribution of local current density. Furthermore, the two effects are coupled with each other.

However, 50 xM barium has little effect on membrane potential in rabbit middle cerebral artery (Brayden, 1990), or on diameter in rat posterior cerebral arteries pressurized to half the mean systolic blood pressure (McCarron and Halpern, 1990a). Clearly, factors such as membrane potential, transmural pressure, vasoconstrictors, and vasodilators, as well as possible differences in channel distribution and density, are likely to influence the contribution of the Kjp channel to the membrane potential.

Myelinated auditory nerve neuron A detailed model of the morphology of myelination and ion channel distribution was formulated by Colombo and Parkins [ 1987] using the Frankenhaeuser Huxley model as a base it includes a fast sodium current, fast potassium current, a leakage current, and a slow sodium current. 

The principal hardware component responsible for cooling is the air ring. This device is located just on top of the die with a layer of insulating material (or air) between it and the hot die face (Fig. 3.12). The air ring surrormds the bubble and delivers cooling air directly onto the bubble. It receives air from the blower through, typically, a number of hoses that attach around the circumference of the device. Inside the air ring, a series of baffled flow channels distribute the air in such a way as to produce a uniform airflow (volume and velocity) at all points around the circumference of the bubble. 

MODELING CONFLICT AND COORDINATION IN MULTI-CHANNEL DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS ... 

To effectively assess the costs and benefits of multi-channel distribution, manufacturers and intermediaries alike must understand the cross-channel tensions that can arise. The desire to use multiple channel types may ultimately compel a manufacturer to redefine its relationship with its intermediaries, with careful attention to the division of labor and any associated financial terms. Indeed, the management of channel conflict is a key B2B concern that will profoundly influence supply chain success in the age of eBusiness. 

The title of this chapter declares our interest in multi-channel distribution, but we must still clarify what we mean by multi-channel. Following the Ian-... 

The intent of this chapter is to review quantitative approaches to modeling conflict in multi-channel distribution systems (as described previously) and policies that may coordinate the actions taken by channel partners, thereby improving system performance. To this end, attention will be focused on research that meets the following criteria ...
