Resistance, complex

Complex resistance. Qualitative and/or quantitative chemical variation in plants may expose Insects to more than one deterrent (or poison) concurrently. Several authors have proposed (12,18,19) and Pimentel and Belotti (20) have shown in the laboratory, that insects may be slower to adapt to such complex chemical mixtures. As a result, even sublethal doses of toxins may remain effective over long periods of time.

Impedance spectroscopy is an effective technique for probing the features of chemically-modified electrodes and for understanding electrochemical reaction rates (87,88). Impedance is the totally complex resistance encountered...

Impedance spectroscopy, meaning the measurement of complex resistivities with ac current methods, is an important tool to study diffusion and to correlate it with ionic transport behavior. The diffusion coefficient, D , obtained from conductivity measurements (vide infra) is related to the self-diffusion coefficient, D...

Most of the commercially available impedance spectrometers measure the complex resistivity Z as a function of frequency to by exciting the sample and the set-up with a voltage signal from a discrete set of frequencies. The amplitude and phase of the response signal are used for the calculation of Z. The actual measurement is cahbrated against open and short... 

After the stomach s acidic environment facilitates the breakdown of vitamin B12 bound to food, the vitamin B12 binds to the intrinsic factor released by the stomach s parietal cells. The secretion of intrinsic factor generally corresponds to the release of hydrochloric acid and serves as a cell-directed carrier protein similar to transferrin for iron. This complex, resistant to degradation, forms in the duodenum and allows for subsequent absorption of vitamin B12 in the terminal ileum. The cobalamin-intrinsic factor complex is taken up into the ileal mucosal cell, the intrinsic factor is discarded, and the cobalamin is transferred to transcobalamin It, which serves as a transport protein. This complex is secreted into the circulation and is taken up by the fiver, bone marrow, and other cells. Transcobalamin 11 has a short half-fife of 1 hour and is rapidly cleared from the blood. Consequently, most circulating cobalamin is bound to serum haptocorrins (formerly transcobalamin I and transcobalamin IB) whose function is unknown. However, it should be noted that an alternate pathway for vitamin B12 absorption independent of intrinsic factor or an intact ter-... 

Despite the reduction in deposition, it has been reported that polyquaterium-SLS complexes resist removal from hair [51]. Therefore, care must be taken in formulating polyquats into both conditioners and conditioning shampoos to avoid excessive buildup and a heavy-coated feel on the hair with repeated use. 

Coordination polymers have been utilized since before recorded history, although not recognized as such until recently. For instance, the tanning of leather depends on the coordination of metal ions with the proteins that make up the hide. These complexes resist the bacterial attack, wear and weathering that typically befall nontanned animal skins. Metals bound to natural polymers, including proteins, affect numerous enzymatic and membrane interactions. 

Equations 10.3 through 10.5 show that if a biomaterial is to be regarded as a conductor, complex resistivity or conductivity parameters are used if the material is to be regarded as a dielectric, permittivity parameters are used. In linear cases, the information content is the same. 

It is sometimes assumed that if the electrodes are placed in a linear fashion, with the voltage PU electrodes between the CC electrodes, only the volume between the PU electrodes is measured. Not only is this wrong, but there will also be zones of negative sensitivity between the PU electrodes and the CC electrodes (Grimnes and Martinsen 2007). Negative sensitivity means that if the complex resistivity is increased in that specific volume, lower total impedance will be measured. 

SC complex resistivity is very dependent on SC hydration. The hydration is dependent on the SA and also the relative humidity of the surrounding air in contact with the SC surface. They both influence the measured admittance but in different ways. The capacitive part of the skin admittance (susceptance) gives information on SC hydration (Martinsen and Grimnes 2001). 

It is informative to note that when the deformation resistance of a solid becomes significantly rate-dependent, but a tensile stress-strain relation F(eP,eP) at different strain rates is still available for different cases of monotonic straining at different strain rates eP, without interruptions, holdings, or reversals in the deformation, the associated-flow-rule relations of eqs. (3.28a-f) can still serve as a useful guide. However, dealing with more complex resistances and paths of...
