Like chlorophyll, bacterial biomass was also shown to be uniformly distributed horizontally throughout large areas of the Levantine Basin with the exception of mesoscale features where the pattern was usually altered.

What scientists recognize as invisible danger, of course, differs from what miners see in the mines. Experts recognize stress distributions, horizontal secondary principal stresses, rock-mass behavior, cell response, and stress distribution in data accumulated from test borings, sensometers, and mathematical analysis. Like roof bolts, the workings of science are literally invisible to human perception. 

In particular, horizontal advection and horizontal diffusion in the Chesapeake Bay are comparable while vertical difiiision is a fast process that acts over short distances, and a model must account for all three. In this environment, atrazine that is discharged to the surface waters could be horizontally distributed over a distance of 1 km over a period of one week, since the time scale of horizontal advection-difiusion processes is 10 -10 s (approximately 3 hours). As atrazine is distributed horizontally, it also mixes vertically down the water coluitm. With the estimates of verticd diffiisivity for the Bay that are available in the literature, for a depth of 10-20 m the time scale for vertical diffusion processes is on the order of 15 minutes, and can be as short as 3 minutes. The sidfidic vraters are in the sediment porewaters and atrazine needs to be transported to the water-sediment inter ce in order to encounter and react with reduced sulfiir species. The characteristic horizontal and vertical scales that describe the flow in the Bay indicate that it is possible for atrazine to reach the depth of the water-sediment interface before it is horizontally transported out of the system. The subsequent exchange at the water-sediment interface depends on many factors, including half-life of atrazine, the hydraulic residence time of the bottom layer, turbulent processes, and other characteristics of the water column above the sediment layer. Simple box models cannot capture the dynamics necessary to describe these exchanges that ultimately govern the te of atrazine in the Bay. 

Figure Bl.14.13. Derivation of the droplet size distribution in a cream layer of a decane/water emulsion from PGSE data. The inset shows the signal attenuation as a fiinction of the gradient strength for diflfiision weighting recorded at each position (top trace = bottom of cream). A Stokes-based velocity model (solid lines) was fitted to the experimental data (solid circles). The curious horizontal trace in the centre of the plot is due to partial volume filling at the water/cream interface. The droplet size distribution of the emulsion was calculated as a fiinction of height from these NMR data. The most intense narrowest distribution occurs at the base of the cream and the curves proceed logically up tlirough the cream in steps of 0.041 cm. It is concluded from these data that the biggest droplets are found at the top and the smallest at the bottom of tlie cream.

The F statistic describes the distribution of the ratios of variances of two sets of samples. It requires three table labels the probability level and the two degrees of freedom. Since the F distribution requires a three-dimensional table which is effectively unknown, the F tables are presented as large sets of two-dimensional tables. The F distribution in Table 2.29 has the different numbers of degrees of freedom for the denominator variance placed along the vertical axis, while in each table the two horizontal axes represent the numerator degrees of freedom and the probability level. Only two probability levels are given in Table 2.29 the upper 5% points (F0 95) and the upper 1% points (Fq 99). More extensive tables of statistics will list additional probability levels, and they should be consulted when needed. 

Despite their theoreticaUy poor washing performance, due to uneven wash distribution and excessive mn-off because the filter surface is not horizontal, many multicompartment dmm filters continue to be used as cake washing filters. Effective washing of the filter cloth can be done only with the belt discharge type, where the cloth leaves the dmm for a brief period and can thus be washed on both sides. 

Figure 18 is an entrainment or gas-carryiag capacity chart (25). The operating conditions and particle properties determine the vertical axis the entrainment is read off the dimensionless horizontal axis. For entrainment purposes, the particle density effect is considered through the ratio of the particle density to the density of water. When the entrainable particle-size distribution is smaller than the particle-size distribution of the bed, the entrainment is reduced by the fraction entrainable, ie, the calculated entrainment rate from Figure 18 is multipfled by the weight fraction entrainable. 

For distributing larger quantities of gaseous helium, argon, and occasionally neon, a number of large, horizontal, compressed gas cylinders are manifolded on tmck semitrailers (called tube trailers) or railroad cars. Like individual cylinders, these serve both as transport containers and rental storage containers. Capacities of tube trailers range from about 300 to 5,000 m (10,000—175,000 fT) of gas. 

Figure 1 shows the particulate loading of a pipe containing gas and particulates where the nonuniformity induced by a disturbance, ie, a 90° bend, is obvious (2). A profile of concentration gradients in a long, straight, horizontal pipe containing suspended soHds is shown in Figure 2. Segregation occurs as a result of particle mass. Certain impurities, eg, metal-rich particulates, however, occur near the bottom of the pipe others, eg, oily flocculates, occur near the top (3). Moreover, the distribution may be affected by Hquid-velocity disturbances and pipe roughness.

The sterilizers or retorts used to process canned or prepackaged foods must be designed in such a way as to assure uniform temperature distribution throughout. Adequate venting permits complete air removal. The air vent is located at the opposite end from the steam inlet (24). The retorts may be horizontal or vertical in design. 

Trajectory models require spatiaUy and temporaUy resolved wind fields, mixing-height fields, deposition parameters, and data on the spatial distribution of emissions. Lagrangian trajectory models assume that vertical wind shear and horizontal diffusion are negligible. Other limitations of trajectory and Eulerian models have been discussed (30).

Fig. 3. The lattice-matched double heterostmcture, where the waves shown in the conduction band and the valence band are wave functions, L (Ar), representing probabiUty density distributions of carriers confined by the barriers. The chemical bonds, shown as short horizontal stripes at the AlAs—GaAs interfaces, match up almost perfectly. The wave functions, sandwiched in by the 2.2 eV potential barrier of AlAs, never see the defective bonds of an external surface. When the GaAs layer is made so narrow that a single wave barely fits into the allotted space, the potential well is called a quantum well.
