Combined action

Stress Corrosion Crocking. Stress corrosion cracking occurs from the combined action of corrosion and stress. The corrosion may be initiated by improper chemical cleaning, high dissolved oxygen levels, pH excursions in the boiler water, the presence of free hydroxide, and high levels of chlorides. Stresses are either residual in the metal or caused by thermal excursions. Rapid startup or shutdown can cause or further aggravate stresses. Tube failures occur near stressed areas such as welds, supports, or cold worked areas. 

Three hormones regulate turnover of calcium in the body (22). 1,25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol is a steroid derivative made by the combined action of the skin, Hver, and kidneys, or furnished by dietary factors with vitamin D activity. The apparent action of this compound is to promote the transcription of genes for proteins that faciUtate transport of calcium and phosphate ions through the plasma membrane. Parathormone (PTH) is a polypeptide hormone secreted by the parathyroid gland, in response to a fall in extracellular Ca(Il). It acts on bones and kidneys in concert with 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol to stimulate resorption of bone and reabsorption of calcium from the glomerular filtrate. Calcitonin, the third hormone, is a polypeptide secreted by the thyroid gland in response to a rise in blood Ca(Il) concentration. Its production leads to an increase in bone deposition, increased loss of calcium and phosphate in the urine, and inhibition of the synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol. 

SCC has been defined as failure by cracking under the combined action of corrosion and stress (Fig. 9.1). The stress and corrosion components interact S3mergistically to produce cracks, which initiate on the surface exposed to the corrodent and propagate in response to the stress state. They may run in any direction but are always perpendicular to the principal stress. Longitudinal or transverse crack orientations in tubes are common (Figs. 9.2 and 9.3). Occasionally, both longitudinal and transverse cracks are present on the same tube (Fig. 9.4). Less frequently, SCC is a secondary result of another primary corrosion mode. In such cases, the cracking, rather than the primary corrosion, may be the actual cause of failure (Fig. 9.5).

Eicosanoids, so named because they are all derived from 20-carbon fatty acids, are ubiquitous breakdown products of phospholipids. In response to appropriate stimuli, cells activate the breakdown of selected phospholipids (Figure 25.27). Phospholipase Ag (Chapter 8) selectively cleaves fatty acids from the C-2 position of phospholipids. Often these are unsaturated fatty acids, among which is arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid may also be released from phospholipids by the combined actions of phospholipase C (which yields diacyl-glycerols) and diacylglycerol lipase (which releases fatty acids).

A cooperative interaction between two or more antioxidants (or antioxidant function) that leads to an overall antioxidant effect greater than the sum of the individual effects of each antioxidant is referred to as synergism. Synergism can be achieved in different ways. It may arise from the combined action of two chemically similar antioxidants, e.g., two hindered phenols (homosynergism), or when two different antioxidant functions are present in the same molecule (autosynergism) the latter is exemplified by many commercial antioxidants (e.g., Irgastab 2002, AO 29 Table lb), which have CB and UVA activity. 

The combined action of chemical (or electrochemical) treatment and scrubbing is often more effective than either method alone. It is frequently advantageous to alternate short periods of immersion with scrubbing to remove any corrosion product that has become loosened by the action of the chemical reagent.

In light of the previous discussions, it would be instructive to compare the behavior of enantiomerically pure allylic alcohol 12 in epoxidation reactions without and with the asymmetric titanium-tartrate catalyst (see Scheme 2). When 12 is exposed to the combined action of titanium tetraisopropoxide and tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the absence of the enantiomerically pure tartrate ligand, a 2.3 1 mixture of a- and /(-epoxy alcohol diastereoisomers is produced in favor of a-13. This ratio reflects the inherent diasteieo-facial preference of 12 (substrate-control) for a-attack. In a different experiment, it was found that SAE of achiral allylic alcohol 15 with the (+)-diethyl tartrate [(+)-DET] ligand produces a 99 1 mixture of /(- and a-epoxy alcohol enantiomers in favor of / -16 (98% ee). 

The successful implementation of this strategy is shown in Scheme 4. In the central double cyclization step, the combined action of palladium(n) acetate (10 mol %), triphenylphosphine (20 mol %), and silver carbonate (2 equiv.) on trienyl iodide 16 in refluxing THF results in the formation of tricycle 20 (ca. 83 % yield). Compound 20 is the only product formed in this spectacular transformation. It is noteworthy that the stereochemical course of the initial insertion (see 17—>18) is guided by an equatorially disposed /-butyldimethylsilyl ether at C-6 in a transition state having a preferred eclipsed orientation of the C-Pd a bond and the exocyclic double bond (see 17). Insertion of the trisubstituted cycloheptene double bond into the C-Pd bond in 18 then gives a new organopal-...

Orientation of reinforcement The behavior of RPs is dominated by the arrangement and the interaction of the stiff, strong fibers with the less stiff, weaker plastic matrix. The features of the structure and the construction determine the behavior of RPs that is important to the designer. A major advantage is the fact that directional properties can be maximized in the plane of the sheet. As shown in Fig. 8-55 they can be isotropic, orthotropic, etc. Basic design theories of combining actions of plastics and reinforcements...
