Circularity operational

The cerebral cortex of the brain is an approximately continuous, homogenous neural medium, which is molded (or rutted ) into preferred tracks of neural transmission by imprinting and by repeated activity (i.e., behavioral learning). Within this system, there exists a relatively discrete series of dimensions ("levels ) within which recurrent circular operations stabilize existing patterns (1) the sensory-motor loop, representing interaction with the physical/behavioral space outside, and (2) an internal behavior loop, which operates even in isolation from the... 

This defines the levels within the CNS. The relative isolation between levels is maintained by circular operations which stabilize the structure at each level. For each level there are many entities organized at that level (for example, many neurons) and such entities prefer interaction with other entities at the same level. A chemical reaction, for example, in the retina of the eye is almost always interpreted as a signal about the outside world, not as a signal about neurochemistry. Thus isolation means that operations at any given level are primarily self-referencing (i.e., they take their own states as inputs for further processing). Coupling refers to exceptions to this "self-referential closure. ... 

When coupling between two levels is increased, images of the structure at one level may be translated into the other level. (This assumes that circular operations at each level are not too severely disrupted.) For example, in certain conditions called "imprint vulnerability, the brain copies the external environment. 

Two Topaz NPSs were tested in flight in 1987—1988 with the spacecrafts Cosmos-1818 and Cosmos-1867. Spacecrafts were placed in a circular operational orbit at a height in excess of800 km. NPSs were operated for 5 months and about 1 year, respectively. The initial values of the systems parameters after bringing to a nominal power were close to those obtained in the terrestrial tests. However, by the end of tests, the efficiency degraded by 25%. 

To speed up the process of attainment of the temperature steady value one can use special operations calculation without a kiln rotation, using large time intervals and calculation in two-dimensional R-tp geometry without regard for heat and mass transfer along an axis The program for realization of discussed simulation algorithms enables to calculate temperature in cells, a total number of which can not exceed 130 thousands A circular kiln structure can contain up to three layers. 

A different ion guide is the ion tunnel, which also uses only RF fields to transmit ions. It is not a rod device but consists of a series of concentric circular electrodes. It is perhaps best described as operating like a series of ion traps. This chapter gives details of some of the fundamental characteristics of rod-type transmission guides (multipoles). 

Horizontal Rotating Pan Filters. These filters (Fig. 10) represent a further development of the tipping pan filter for continuous operation. They consist of a circular pan rotating around the central filter valve. The pan is divided into wedge-shaped sections covered with the filter medium. Vacuum is appHed from below. Each section is provided with a drainage pipe which connects to a rotary filter valve of the same type as in dmm filters. 

An obvious method of increasing the filtration area in the vessel is to stack several plates on top of each other the plates are operated in parallel. One design, known as the plate filter, uses circular plates and a stack that can be removed as one assembly. This allows the stack to be replaced after the filtration period with a clean stack, and the filter can be put back into operation quickly. The filter consists of dimpled plates supporting perforated plates on which filter cloth or paper is placed. The space between the dimpled plates and the cloth is coimected to the filtrate outlet, which is either into the hoUow shaft or into the vessel, the other being used for the feed. When the feed is into the vessel, a scavenger plate may have to be fitted because the vessel will be full of unfiltered slurry at the end of the filtration period. This type of filter is available with filtration areas up to 25 m and cakes up to 50 mm thick. 

PETROSIX. The PETROSIX technology is operated in the IH mode using hot recycle gas as the heat-transport medium. The PETROSIX retort has only one level of heat input, uses countercurrent flows, and uses a circular grate to control the flow of soflds (Eig. 3). The PETROSIX has been operated by Petrobras (Brazil) since the 1950s and is one of the few retorting processes producing shale oil in 1995. 

The most common thickener is the circular basin type shown in Figure 7. After treatment with flocculant, the feed stream enters the central feed well which dissipates the stream s kinetic energy and disperses it gendy into the thickener. The feed finds its height in the basin where its density matches the density of the inside suspension and spreads out at that level. SoHds concentration increases downward in an operating thickener giving stabiHty to the process.

A possible problem of sealing the electrolyte path is found in the Foreman and Veatch cell. This can be avoided by placing the cells in a vessel. The best known example of this is the Beck and Guthke cell shown in Figure 8 (74). The cell consists of a stack of circular bipolar electrodes in which the electrolyte is fed to the center and flows radially out. Synthesis experience using this cell at BASF has been described (76). This cell exhibits problems of current by-pass at the inner and outer edge of the disk cells. Where this has become a serious problem, insulator edges have been fitted. The cell stack has parallel electrolyte flow however, it is not readily adaptable to divided cell operation.
