Circular segment

The cytoplasm of E. coli contains about 15,000 ribosomes, thousands of copies each of about 1,000 different enzymes, numerous metabolites and cofactors, and a variety of inorganic ions. The nucleoid contains a single, circular molecule of DNA, and the cytoplasm (like that of most bacteria) contains one or more smaller, circular segments of DNA called plasmids. In nature, some plasmids confer resistance to toxins and antibiotics in the environment. In the laboratory, these DNA segments are especially amenable to experimental manipulation and are extremely useful to molecular geneticists.

In the excess plot the isotopes of a given element occur on a straight line through the points (NX,A) = (0,2Z) and (1,3Z). In the ratio plot these isotopes lie on circular segments between the coordinates (r, A) = (1,2Z) and (1/2, 3Z). The straight lines and circles intersect along a straight line...

A circular segment duct is depicted in Fig. 5.55. The fully developed flow and heat transfer characteristics obtained by Sparrow and Haji-Sheikh [283] are given in Table 5.59. 

Hong and Bergles [284] have analyzed the thermal entrance solution of heat transfer for a circular segment duct with 20 = 180° (i.e., a semicircular duct). Two kinds of thermal boundary conditions are used (1) a constant wall heat flux along the axial flow direction with a constant wall temperature along the duct circumference, and (2) a constant wall heat flux along the axial flow direction and a constant wall temperature along the semicircular arc, with zero heat...

Passage of liquid from the top to the bottom of trayed towers occurs primarily via downcomers. Downcomers are conduits having circular, segmental, or rectangular cross sections that convey liquid from an upper tray to a lower tray in distillation columns. Different types of downcomers are shown in Fig. 6.14. The major differences are in the cross-sectional areas and in the slopes of the lengthwise extension.

This interpretation is supported [7] by analysis of the neutron imbalance of stable atomic species as a function of mass number, shown in Fig. 5. The region of nuclide stability is demarcated here by two zigzag lines with deflection points at common values of mass number A. Vertical hemlines through the deflection points divide the fleld into 11 segments of 24 nuclides each, in line with condition (c). This theme is developed in more detail in the paper on Atomic Structure in this volume. Defining neutron imbalance as either Z/N or (N — Z )jZ, the isotopes of each element, as shown in Fig. 6, map to either circular segments or straight lines that intersect where... 

Fig. 6 Neutron imbalance of atomic nuclei is defined either by the ratio Z/iV or the relative excess (N — Z)/Z. As functions of mass number, these quantities map the isotopes of a given element to respective circular segments and straight lines, the intersection of which defines the golden ratio...

Liquid flow proceeds across a tray into a "downcomer" that has the cross section of circular segments and continues downward onto the next tray where it resumes its horizontal direction. Vapor moves upwards through perforations in the tray and is in crossflow with the liquid on it. A feature not always known is the provision of weirs at both the inlet and outlet to a tray. They serve to control the flow and height of liquid in the downcomer. Manholes are provided at intervals to allow internal inspection. (The uninitiated sometimes need to be reminded that it should not be sized for three-year-olds.)... 

Fig. 18.7 Calculated wire shape and costal surface, which is separated by the slur7 film of thickness h(x). On this scale the small variations In the distance h x) cannot be resolved. The crystal surface In this calculation has the shape of a circular segment with a radius of 500 cm for the parameters given in the text.

Each of these areas (formed from two, three, and four lobe intersections) can be further decomposed as the sum of n circular segments (1 per pair of overlapping lobes) with areas...
