Explosion and fire in the graphite core of one of four reactors released radioactive material that spread over part of the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, and, later. Western Europe. Claimed dead total was 31. Total casualties are unknown. This is the worst such accident to date... 

In order to get an extremely high resolution and a small dead zone" (after the transmitter pulse) single amplifier states must have a bandwidth up to 90 MHz ( ), and a total bandwidth of 35 MHz (-3 dB) can be reached (HILL-SCAN 3010HF). High- and low-pass filters can be combined to band-passes and provide optimal A-scans. All parameters are controlled by software. 

Now suppose e(a) denotes the total void volume associated with pores of radii < a, per unit volume of the porous medium. This includes the contributions of any dead-end pores. Chough these are not taken into account in the distribution function f(a,ri). Then we shall write... 

Total solar salt, NaCl, produced in the world is 90 million tons. Well over that amount of salt is produced in preconcentration ponds as an intermediate step in the production of other chemicals such as potassium chloride. For example, the Dead Sea faciUties produce 40 million tons of salt each year but sell none because of the high cost of transportation to markets. 

Economic Aspects and Uses. Total world production of potassium products is 29,000,000 tons per year (65). Potassium chloride is removed from brine at Moab, and Wendover, Utah, and at Seades Lake, California. Potassium sulfate is made from Great Salt Lake brine by Great Salt Lake Minerals Corp., which is the largest producer of solar potassium sulfate in the wodd. Combined, these U.S. faciUties stiU produce a relatively small percentage of potash fertilizers in the wodd. Production from the Dead Sea, for example, is 10 times greater than production of potassium from brines in the United States. More than 95% of all the potassium produced is used in fertilizer blends. The remainder is converted to other potassium chemicals for industdal use (see Potassium compounds). 

The peripheral stiffening zone (tray ring) is generally 25 to 50 mm (1 to 2 in) wide and occupies 2 to 5 percent of the cross section, the fraction decreasing with increase in plate diameter. Peripheiy waste (Fig. 14-28) occurs primarily with bubble-cap trays and results from the inabihty to fit the cap layout to the circular form of the plate. Valves and perforations can be located close to the wall and little dead area results. Typical values of the fraction of the total cross-sectional area available for vapor dispersion and contact with the liquid for cross-flow plates with a chord weir equal to 75 percent of the column diameter are given in Table 14-6. 

Maximum washing arc = horizontal centerline to 15 past top dead center, or 29% of total cycle. Minimum percent of cycle between end of form and earliest start of wash = area between horizontal centerline and maximum apparent submergence = (50% — - 15%)/2 = 7.5%. 

Speed variation is the total variation in speed from the set point and includes both dead band and oscillation. 

Dead legs in the sample line must be discharged safely to ensure that the sample will ac tuaUy be representative of the material in the unit. Without blowing down the dead leg, samples taken will be erroneous, as they may be representative of some past operating conditions. If the location is nonroutine, the sample leg may have accumulated debris. The debris could partially or totally block the line. Opening the isolation valve to blow down the line could result in a sudden, uncontrolled release, presenting a hazard to the sample gatherer. 

The XK column system is a medium-pressure jacketed glass column system designed for operating pressures up to 5 bar (0.5 MPa). Column dead volumes are less than 0.1% of the total column volume. Wetted materials include EPDM, TEFZEL, superpolyoxymethylene, and flurorubber. Columns use nylon nets of 10-)Lim mesh size and may be used with most SEC media with particle diameters >20 /xm. Columns are intended for use with aqueous solutions and... 

Chlorine is the twentieth most abundant element in crustal rocks where it occurs to the extent of 126 ppm (cf. nineteenth V, 136 ppm, and twenty-first Cr, 122 ppm). The vast evaporite deposits of NaCl and other chloride minerals have already been described (pp. 69, 73). Dwarfing these, however, are the inconceivably vast reserves in ocean waters (p. 69) where more than half the total average salinity of 3.4 wt% is due to chloride ions (1.9 wt%). Smaller quantities, though at higher concentrations, occur in certain inland seas and in subterranean brine wells, e.g. the Great Salt Lake, Utah (23% NaCl) and the Dead Sea, Israel (8.0% NaCl, 13.0% MgCU, 3.5% CaCU). 

Local conditions may modify this profoundly in special areas. In the Arctic and Antarctic, and where there is dilution by large rivers, the salinity may be considerably less, and it may vary greatly according to season. Salinity is well below normal in the Baltic, and may fall nearly to zero at the head of the Gulf of Bothnia. In enclosed seas like the Mediterranean, Black Sea and Red Sea, on the other hand, where there is rapid evaporation, salinity may reach 40 parts per thousand. The total salt content of the inland Dead Sea is 260 g/kg compared to 37 g/kg for the Atlantic Ocean. 

Dead volume The total volume in the system that is swept by the carrier gas. 

Unfortunately, exclusion chromatography has some inherent disadvantages that make its selection as the separation method of choice a little difficult. Although the separation is based on molecular size, which might be considered an ideal rationale, the total separation must be contained in the pore volume of the stationary phase. That is to say all the solutes must be eluted between the excluded volume and the dead volume, which is approximately half the column dead volume. In a 25 cm long, 4.6 mm i.d. column packed with silica gel, this means that all the solutes must be eluted in about 2 ml of mobile phase. It follows, that to achieve a reasonable separation of a multi-component mixture, the peaks must be very narrow and each occupy only a few microliters of mobile phase. Scott and Kucera (9) constructed a column 14 meters long and 1 mm i.d. packed with 5ja... 

It must be pointed out that (Vm) refers to the volume of mobile phase in the column and not the total volume of mobile phase between the injection valve and the detector (Vo)- In practice, the dead volume (Vo) will include all the extra column volumes (Ve) involved in the sample valve, connecting tube detector cell etc. 

Note that (Vm) is the volume of mobile phase in the column and not V0 the total dead volume of the column. 

Terrestrial biomass is divided into a number of subreservoirs with different turnover times. Forests contain approximately 90% of all carbon in living matter on land but their NPP is only 60% of the total. About half of the primary production in forests yields twigs, leaves, shrubs, and herbs that only make up 10% of the biomass. Carbon in wood has a turnover time of the order of 50 years, whereas turnover times of carbon in leaves, flowers, fruits, and rootlets are less than a few years. When plant material becomes detached from the living, plant carbon is moved from the phytomass reservoir to litter. "Litter" can either refer to a layer of dead plant material on the soil or all plant materials not attached to a living plant. A litter layer can be a...
