This reaction offers the advantage of a superior neutron yield of in a thermal reactor system. The abiHty to breed fissile from naturally occurring Th allows the world s thorium reserves to be added to its uranium reserves as a potential source of fission power. However, the Th/ U cycle is unlikely to be developed in the 1990s owing both to the more advanced state of the / Pu cycle and to the avadabiHty of uranium. Thorium is also used in the production of the cx-emitting radiotherapeutic agent, Bi, via the production of Th and subsequent decay through Ac (20).

Most radicals are transient species. They (e.%. 1-10) decay by self-reaction with rates at or close to the diffusion-controlled limit (Section 1.4). This situation also pertains in conventional radical polymerization. Certain radicals, however, have thermodynamic stability, kinetic stability (persistence) or both that is conferred by appropriate substitution. Some well-known examples of stable radicals are diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH), nitroxides such as 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-A -oxyl (TEMPO), triphenylniethyl radical (13) and galvinoxyl (14). Some examples of carbon-centered radicals which are persistent but which do not have intrinsic thermodynamic stability are shown in Section 1.4.3.2. These radicals (DPPH, TEMPO, 13, 14) are comparatively stable in isolation as solids or in solution and either do not react or react very slowly with compounds usually thought of as substrates for radical reactions. They may, nonetheless, react with less stable radicals at close to diffusion controlled rates. In polymer synthesis these species find use as inhibitors (to stabilize monomers against polymerization or to quench radical reactions - Section 5,3.1) and as reversible termination agents (in living radical polymerization - Section 9.3). 

Watanabe et al,25-5 52s applied AMS dimer (116) as a radical trap to examine the reactions of oxygen-centered radicals (e.g. r-butoxy, cumyloxy, benzoyloxy). AMS dimer (116) is an addition fragmentation chain transfer agent (see 6.2.3.4) and reacts as shown in Scheme 3,96. The reaction products are macromonomers and may potentially react further. The reactivity of oxygen centered radicals towards 116 appears to be similar to that of S.2 1 Cumyl radicals are formed as a byproduct of trapping and are said to decay mainly by combination and disproportionation. 

The principal agents of tooth decay are the carboxylic acids produced when bacteria act on the remains of food. A more resistant coating forms when the OH ions in the apatite are replaced by F ions. The resulting mineral is called fluorapatite ... 

Table 19-1 demonstrates that with the exception of water vapor, all of these cycles have been severely perturbed by human activity. Of course, all of these cycles are also linked in many ways. For example, the combustion of fossil fuel has increased the fluxes of carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides to the atmosphere. Denitrification, the production of N2O, is linked with the production of CO2 during respiration and decay. And of course, other important cycles are involved which are not depicted here. Look back at Fig. 17-8, which sums up the climate forcings by the key agents. 

This application shows how a cellular automaton can model a phenomenon in which the agents, or ingredients, change their states. This could refer to a chemical reaction, a nuclear decay, or, more generally, any process in which an item converts to another form. 

The glass polyalkenoate cement uniquely combines translucency with the ability to bond to untreated tooth material and bone. Indeed, the only other cement to possess translucency is the dental silicate cement, while the zinc polycarboxylate cement is the only other adhesive cement. It is also an agent for the sustained release of fluoride. For these reasons the glass polyalkenoate cement has many applications in dentistry as well as being a candidate bone cement. Its translucency makes it a favoured material both for the restoration of front teeth and to cement translucent porcelain teeth and veneers. Its adhesive quality reduces and sometimes eliminates the need for the use of the dental drill. The release of fluoride from this cement protects neighbouring tooth material from the ravages of dental decay. New clinical techniques have been devised to exploit the unique characteristics of the material (McLean Wilson, 1977a,b,c Wilson McLean, 1988 Mount, 1990).
