Clarifier effect

Because clozapine may block specific DA receptors, its antipsychotic activity could be consistent with an antidopaminergic mechanism of action. Conversely, clozapine does not typically induce extrapyramidal symptoms, which are presumably subserved by the A-9 system. Thus, while clozapine is known to block striatal DA receptors, in positron emission tomography (PET) studies, resolution is not sufficient to clarify effects on other tracts. Furthermore, low doses of metoclopramide, which significantly decrease the number of DA neurons spontaneously active in A-9, do not have antipsychotic effects (except at high doses) but can induce tardive dyskinesia (TD), as well as acute extrapyramidal side effects (EPS). 

Agents based on trisamide chemistries are said to reduce warpage, with some increase of crystallization temperature and clarifying effects [10-18, 10-25]. 

The purpose of this study is to clarify effect of O2 interacted with CO2 on photoinhibition relationship between the increased photoinhibition reported in a CO2- and 02-free atmosphere and damage to the 32 kD protein role of oxygen on the damage to the 32 kD protein.

The simple treatment of this and of other electrokinetic effects was greatly clarified by Smoluchowski [69] for electroosmosis it is as follows. The volume flow V (in cm /sec) for a tube of radius r is given by applying the linear velocity V to the body of liquid in the tube... 

Adding ammonia decreases the concentration of Ag+ as the Ag(NH3)2 complex forms. In turn, decreasing the concentration of Ag+ increases the solubility of AgCl as reaction 6.27 reestablishes its equilibrium position. Adding together reactions 6.27 and 6.28 clarifies the effect of ammonia on the solubility of AgCl, by showing that ammonia is a reactant. 

One of the most sensitive tests of the dependence of chemical reactivity on the size of the reacting molecules is the comparison of the rates of reaction for compounds which are members of a homologous series with different chain lengths. Studies by Flory and others on the rates of esterification and saponification of esters were the first investigations conducted to clarify the dependence of reactivity on molecular size. The rate constants for these reactions are observed to converge quite rapidly to a constant value which is independent of molecular size, after an initial dependence on molecular size for small molecules. The effect is reminiscent of the discussion on the uniqueness of end groups in connection with Example 1.1. In the esterification of carboxylic acids, for example, the rate constants are different for acetic, propionic, and butyric acids, but constant for carboxyUc acids with 4-18 carbon atoms. This observation on nonpolymeric compounds has been generalized to apply to polymerization reactions as well. The latter are subject to several complications which are not involved in the study of simple model compounds, but when these complications are properly considered, the independence of reactivity on molecular size has been repeatedly verified. 

Dilution. In many appHcations, dilution of the flocculant solution before it is mixed with the substrate stream can improve performance (12). The mechanism probably involves getting a more uniform distribution of the polymer molecules. Since the dosage needed to form floes is usually well below the adsorption maximum, a high local concentration is effectively removed from the system at that point, leaving no flocculant for the rest of the particles. A portion of the clarified overflow can be used for dilution so no extra water is added to the process. 

Mechanism of Action. The mechanisms by which antibiotic adrninistration at subtherapeutic levels enhance growth rate and efficiency of gain in growing animals have not been clarified. Possible modes of action include disease control, nutrient sparing, and metaboHc effects. There is extensive evidence that the principal benefit from subtherapeutic use of antibiotics results from the control of harmfiil microorganisms. 

In 1857, Thomson (Lord Kelvin) placed the whole field on firmer footing by using the newly developing field of thermodynamics (qv) to clarify the relationship between the Seebeck and the Peltier effects. He also discovered what is subsequently known as the Thomson effect, a much weaker thermoelectric phenomenon that causes the generation or absorption of heat, other than Joule heat, along a current-carrying conductor in a temperature gradient. 

Adsorption of bath components is a necessary and possibly the most important and fundamental detergency effect. Adsorption (qv) is the mechanism whereby the interfacial free energy values between the bath and the soHd components (sofld soil and substrate) of the system are lowered, thereby increasing the tendency of the bath to separate the soHd components from one another. Furthermore, the soHd components acquire electrical charges that tend to keep them separated, or acquire a layer of strongly solvated radicals that have the same effect. If it were possible to foUow the adsorption effects in a detersive system, in all their complex ramifications and interactions, the molecular picture of soil removal would be greatly clarified. 

Detention efficiency. Conversion from the ideal basin sized by detention-time procedures to an actual clarifier requires the inclusion of an efficiency factor to account for the effects of turbulence and nonuniform flow. Efficiencies vaiy greatly, being dependent not only on the relative dimensions of the clarifier and the means of feeding but also on the characteristics of the particles. The cui ve shown in Fig. 18-83 can be used to scale up laboratoiy data in sizing circular clarifiers. The static detention time determined from a test to produce a specific effluent sohds concentration is divided by the efficiency (expressed as a fraction) to determine the nominal detention time, which represents the volume of the clarifier above the settled pulp interface divided by the overflow rate. Different diameter-depth combinations are considered by using the corresponding efficiency factor. In most cases, area may be determined by factors other than the bulksettling rate, such as practical tank-depth limitations. 

The area that is theoretically available for separation is equal to the sum of the projected areas or all channels on the horizontal plane. Figure 18-88 shows the horizontally projected area A, of a single channel in a clarifier of unit width. If X is the uniform distance between plates (measured perpendicularly to the plate surface), the clarifier will contain sin Ci/X channels per unit length and an effective collection area per unit clarifier length of A, sin O/X, where Ot is the angle of inclination of the plates to the horizontal. It follows that the total horizontally projected plate area per unit volume of sludge in the clarifier Aj is... 

Cake Filters Filters that accumulate appreciable visible quantities of solids on the surface of a filter medium are called cake filters. The slurry feed may have a solids concentration from about 1 percent to greater than 40 percent. The filter medium on which the cake forms is relatively open to minimize flow resistance, since once the cake forms, it becomes the effective filter medium. The initial filtrate therefore may contain unacceptable sohds concentration until the cake is formed. This situation may be made tolerable by recycling the filtrate until acceptable clarity is obtained or by using a downstream polishing filter (clarifying type).
