Liquid dichloromethane is absorbed through human skin, with maximum concentrations in expired air being reached 30 min after exposure (Stewart Dodd, 1964). After 0.5—8 h inhalation exposme, concentrations of dichloromethane in the blood and expired air were directly proportional to dose, over the concentration range 173-1740 mg/ni (DiVincenzo et al., 1972). It is distributed principally to adipose tissue. In male volunteers exposed to 2600 mg/m for 1 h at a work intensity of 50 W, mean adipose tissue concentrations after 1,4 and 22 h were 10.2, 8.4 and 1.7 mg/kg, respectively (Engstrom Bjmstrbm, 1977). Elevated carboxyhaemoglobin saturation and increased urinary formic acid concentrations have been found in exposed workers (Ku elova Vlasak, 1966 DiVincenzo Kaplan, 1981), but inhaled dichloromethane is excreted principally unchanged in expired air (Riley et al, 1966).

Multiple linear regression is strictly a parametric supervised learning technique. A parametric technique is one which assumes that the variables conform to some distribution (often the Gaussian distribution) the properties of the distribution are assumed in the underlying statistical method. A non-parametric technique does not rely upon the assumption of any particular distribution. A supervised learning method is one which uses information about the dependent variable to derive the model. An unsupervised learning method does not. Thus cluster analysis, principal components analysis and factor analysis are all examples of unsupervised learning techniques. 

Scandium is apparently much more abundant (the 23rd most) in the sun and certain stars than on earth (the 50th most abundant). It is widely distributed on earth, occurring in very minute quantities in over 800 mineral species. The blue color of beryl (aquamarine variety) is said to be due to scandium. It occurs as a principal component in the rare mineral thortveihte, found in Scandinavia and Malagasy. It is also found in the residues remaining after the extrachon of tungsten from Zinnwald wolframite, and in wiikite and bazzite. 

The principal aim of the second edition of this book remains the same as that of the first edition to give a critical exposition of the use of the adsorption methods for the assessment of the surface area and pore size distribution of finely divided and porous solids.

The three principal domestic uses for rice in 1988 were direct food (61%), processed food (18%), and beer (20%). The direct food use figure includes the conventional white milled rice plus specialty rice products (parboiled, precooked, aromatic, brown, and prepackaged mixes) shipped directly from the rice mills. The specialty products account for approximately one-fifth of the direct food use. Approximately two-thirds of the direct food use rice is ultimately distributed to consumers through retail outlets and one-third through food service outlets. 

A good compilation of the functions of fats in various food products is available (26). Some functions are quite subtle, eg, fats lend sheen, color, color development, and crystallinity. One of the principal roles is that of texture modification which includes viscosity, tenderness (shortening), control of ice crystals, elasticity, and flakiness, as in puff pastry. Fats also contribute to moisture retention, flavor in cultured dairy products, and heat transfer in deep fried foods. For the new technology of microwave cooking, fats assist in the distribution of the heating patterns of microwave cooking. 

Sasol produces synthetic fuels and chemicals from coal-derived synthesis gas. Two significant variations of this technology have been commercialized, and new process variations are continually under development. Sasol One used both the fixed-bed (Arge) process, operated at about 240°C, as weU as a circulating fluidized-bed (Synthol) system operating at 340°C. Each ET reactor type has a characteristic product distribution that includes coproducts isolated for use in the chemical industry. Paraffin wax is one of the principal coproducts of the low temperature Arge process. Alcohols, ketones, and lower paraffins are among the valuable coproducts obtained from the Synthol process. 

The principal functions of food packaging are to protect the food contents from physical damage, losses, or deterioration, and to faciUtate distribution from processor to consumer. Food packaging also must attractively identify the product and must perform these functions at minimum system cost because the package itself has no intrinsic value to the consumer. In 1992, food packaging represented about 57% of the United States more than 70 biUion packaging industry. 

Polycychc aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogens produced by the thermal breakdown of organic materials. These are widely distributed in both food and the environment, and are some of the principal carcinogens in cigarette tar and air pollution. Of over 20 PAHs isolated, benzopyrene and quinoline compounds are the most commonly encountered in foods, particularly those which are broiled or fried (111). Shellfish living in petroleum contaminated waters may also contain PAHs (112). 

The physical properties of the principal constituents of natural gas are Hsted in Table 5. These gases are odorless, but for safety reasons, natural gas is odorized before distribution to provide a distinct odor to warn users of possible gas leaks in equipment. Sulfur-containing compounds such as organic mercaptans, aUphatic sulfides, and cycHc sulfur compounds are effective odorants at low concentrations and are added to natural gas at levels ranging from 4 to 24mg/m. ...
