While there is agreement that the rates of clay dehydroxylations are predominantly deceleratory and sensitive to PH2G, there is uncertainty as to whether these reactions are better represented by the first-order or by the diffusion-control kinetic expressions. In the absence of direct observational evidence of interface advance phenomena, it must be concluded that the presently available kinetic analyses do not provide an unambiguous identification of the reaction mechanisms. The factors which control the rates of dehydroxylation of these structurally related minerals have not been identified. 

In spite of many computational advantages, DPD and SCMF methods are not able accurately to predict physical properties that rely upon time correlation functions (e.g., diffusion), making them less applicable to extract structure-related transport properties of phase-segregated membranes. 

In traditional electrophoresis, separation efficiency is limited by thermal diffusion and convection. Owing to long analysis times and low efficiencies, these procedures never enjoyed wide usage. Problems have arisen when trying to differentiate between structurally related drug residues such as streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin, tetracyclines, lincomycin and clindamycin, and erythromycin and oleandomycin (83, 84). To overcome these problems, anticonvective media, such as polyacrylamide or agarose gels, have also been used. 

Consequently, the choice of the averaging time s determines which eddies appear in the mean advective transport term and which ones appear in the fluctuating part (and thus are interpreted as turbulence). The scale dependence of turbulent diffusivity is relevant mainly in the case of horizontal diffusion where eddies come in very different sizes, basically from the millimeter scale to the size of the ring structures related to ocean currents like the Gulf Stream, which exceed the hundred-kilometer scale. Horizontal diffusion will be further discussed in Section 22.3 here we first discuss vertical diffusivity where the scale problem is less relevant.

Before formally considering diffusion and related topics, we will outline the structures of certain plant cells and tissues, thus introducing most of the anatomical terms used throughout this book.

The NOESY experiment provides information about the proximity of protons and hence is used primarily for distinguishing structures that have clear stereochemical differences. For larger molecules, the ROESY experiment may offer some advantages because of its lower tendency to exhibit spin diffusion. The related EXSY experiment is used only when chemical exchange is being investigated. 

Animal studies with structurally related polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), such as benzo(d )py-rene, benz(it)anthracene, and 3-MC, confirmed that intestinal transport readily occurs primarily by passive diffusion after oral dosing. From the partitioning parameters, the rate-limiting step involves solvation of transfer species in the interfacial water at the phospholipid surface. 

Following the idea of Yu. Volfkovich, a model of stationary water flows in the membrane with account of porous structure-related aspects and inhomogeneous water distribution was developed [16,83]. This model will be presented in some detail below. Its implications on water-content profiles and current-voltage performance under fuel cell operation conditions will be compared to the effective diffusion models. 

Like the serpins, AMG is a proteinase inhibitor. It is unlike the serpins in many aspects, however. First, it is a very large molecule, with a molecular mass of -725 kDa. As a result, only very small amounts diffuse out of the plasma space. Second, it acts as a substrate for proteases but does not block their active sites instead, it enfolds the still-active proteases to block access of proteins but not small substrates. Third, it inhibits many different classes of proteinases, mcluding those with serine, cysteine, and metal ions in their proteolytic sites. Fourth, it is structurally related to pregnancy zone protein and to the complement components C3, C4, and C5 rather than to the serpins. Like these proteins, it contains an intrachain thiol ester bond that is necessary for activity and the breaking of which results in a conformational change of the peptide chain. 

Its plate-like structure provides talc-filled materials with important properties, such as, high resistivity and low gas permeability. This comes about because the diffusion path is so complicated. Several other unique properties of talc are structure-related, including its lubricating effect, caused by its easy delamination its low abrasiveness, because talc is the softest mineral in the Mohs hardness scale and the hydrophobic properties of its surface. Hydrophobicity can be increased even more by surface coating with zinc stearate. Figure 2.63 shows the plate-like structure of talc. 

By changing the diffusion time it is possible to find an experimental window that allows for calculations of structure-related diffusion. During shorter diffusion times, the effect of dimensionality and cormectivity is small and it is possible to perform calculations in two dimensions without losing too much information. However, during long diffusion times, the effect of dimensionality and connectivity increases and a three-dimensional description of the microstructure is needed.
