This example points out one of the central problems in stack design for pollution control local, short-term effects may be the most important stack design consideration, but will usually be the aspect of the problem about which the least information is available. 

A local controlled zone is an area where the air is controlled locally the control requirements may be for worker protection and comfort, for process control, or for production protection. 

Zone, local The area or volume in which the air is controlled locally. The control requirements may be for... 

Comprehensive chemical analyses of samples of water, sediment, and biota were carried out both before and after the spill. This cannot of course be carried out in most cases, and illustrates a serious limitation in field studies, in which lack of background data or difficulty in finding an uncontaminated control locality is frequently encountered. Sum parameters were sparingly employed in Baffin Island Oil Spill (BIOS), and emphasis was placed on the analysis of specific compounds attention was directed not only to PAHs, but also to azaarenes, dibenzothiophenes, and hopanes. Thereby, a clear distinction could be made between the input from the oil deliberately discharged, and that arising from natural biological reactions or mediated by atmospheric transport. 

Most of the physiologic activity of thyroid hormones is from the actions of T3. T4 can be thought of primarily as a prohormone. Eighty percent of needed T3 is derived from the conversion of T4 to T3 in peripheral tissue under the influence of tissue deiodinases. These deiodinases allow end organs to produce the amount of T3 needed to control local metabolic functions. These enzymes also catabolize T3 and T4 to biologically inactive metabolites. Thyroid hormones bind to intracellular receptors and regulate the transcription of various genes. 

Blood was studied in a group of virtually healthy adolescents aged 14-17 from two localities in the Ukraine, where pesticide exposure differed by a factor of three, though the pesticide content in food products, drinking water, air and soil in the experimental zone was not higher than public health standards permitted. In Azerbaijan there was a difference of 100 times in the amounts of pesticides used in the experimental and control localities, while the pesticide contamination of elements of the environment and food products in the experimental zone was 2-50 times higher than acceptable levels [A97]. Table 3.6 shows the results. 

Table V summarizes all the sharp absorptions due to local modes of vibration in proton and deuteron implanted GaP, GaAs and InP. It has to be noted that the results depend upon the reports. For instance, for GaP implanted with protons, Newman and Woodhead (1980) observed only one line at 1849 cm-1 whereas Sobotta et al. (1981) observed only one line at 2204 cm-1. These differences probably come from the differences in implantation conditions. However, unfortunately, these conditions are not always well described in the literature the ion energy and dose are usually given, but the ion current is specified only by Tatarkiewicz et al. (1987, 1988). This parameter is of importance as it contributes to control local temperature and therefore the defect creation and the binding of hydrogen to the lattice. 

Hormones and neuronal activity affect brain glycogen metabolism. Glycogen is affected by hormones endogenous to the brain including vasoactive intestinal peptide and noradrenaline, as well as circulating hormones, such as insulin [61, 63, 64]. The mechanism whereby insulin exerts an effect on glycogen metabolism in brain has not been determined [63]. Glycogen metabolism in brain, unlike in other tissues, is controlled locally, due to differential local metabolic rates. 

Palliative radiation therapy with chemotherapy may help control local and systemic disease and reduce disease-related symptoms. The optimal delivery method, schedule and radiation therapy dosages when used with chemotherapy are yet to be determined. 

Along the mung bean hypocotyl, the cell wall plasticity represents the limiting factor of cell growth potentials. Pectin molecules, known to control local cell wall pH s and to modulate phenolic cross-linking owing to the number of free acidic domains, were investigated. 

The evidence presented earlier, on the effects of combined modality therapy in carcinoma of the anal canal, may exploit to some extent the properties of mitomycin C as a hypoxic cell cytotoxin. This strategy remains valid, as many human tumors are less well oxygenated than the tissues from which they arose. The literature suggests that not only are these hypoxic tumors more difficult to control locally with therapy but that they may possess a more malignant phenotype with a higher propensity for distant spread. Tirapazamine is a drug developed and introduced into the clinic for its ability to target... 

The only current therapeutic use of an unsaturated 1,4-dialdehyde in the Western hemisphere is the use of polygodial (Kolorex Capsules and Cream) to control localized candidiasis. According to the producer polygodial damages the cell wall of Candida albicans and other fungi (Sterner and Szallasi, 1999). 

Injection of botulinum toxin is a rather innovative way to control localized muscle hyperexcitability. Botulinum toxin is a purified version of the toxin that causes botulism. Systemic doses of this toxin can be extremely dangerous or fatal because botulinum toxin inhibits the release of acetylcholine from presynaptic terminals at the skeletal neuromuscular junction. Loss of presynaptic acetylcholine release results in paralysis of the muscle fiber supplied by that terminal. Systemic dissemination of botulinum toxin can therefore cause widespread paralysis, including loss of respiratory muscle function. Injection into specific muscles, however, can sequester the toxin within these muscles, thus producing localized effects that are beneficial in certain forms of muscle hyperexcitability. 

Botulinum toxin has been used for some time to control localized muscle dystonias, including conditions such as spasmodic torticollis, blepharospasm, laryngeal dystonia, strabismus, and several other types of focal dystonias.6 25,26,87 93 When used therapeutically, small amounts of this toxin are injected directly into the dystonic muscles, which begin to relax within a few days to 1 week. This technique appears to be fairly safe and effective in many patients, but relief may only be temporary. Symptoms often return within 3 months after each injection, necessitating additional treatments.40 Still, this technique represents a method for treating patients with severe, incapacitating conditions marked by focal dystonias and spasms. 

During the acute phase of a viral infection of the thyroid gland, there is destruction of thyroid parenchyma with transient release of stored thyroid hormones. A similar state may occur in patients with Hashimoto s thyroiditis. These episodes of transient thyrotoxicosis have been termed "spontaneously resolving hyperthyroidism." Supportive therapy is usually all that is necessary, such as propranolol for tachycardia and aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to control local pain and fever. Corticosteroids may be necessary in severe cases to control the inflammation. 

This section provides a basic explanation of the underlying physical processes that control localized corrosion in order to lay the foundation for an understanding of the tests that are discussed in the next section. The manifestations of these physical processes through electrochemically measurable quantities are then discussed. Some generalized phenomenology is presented through illustrative examples from the literature. Full mechanistic understanding of localized corrosion has not yet been achieved. Information on the various models proposed can be found in review articles (11,12) and corrosion texts (13,14).
