Effects of Blooming

The effects of blooming are most severe when a weak signal of interest is observed near an intense signal or when large changes in intensity occur over short image distances.

The effectiveness of blooming antistatic agents is dependent on the relative humidity, and its effects are neither permanent nor necessarily immediate. If they migrate too quickly, they are unlikely to remain effective for long - perhaps a few hours. If migration is too slow, it could take weeks before they can provide protection. Mixtmes of fast and slow types can be used to overcome this. 

Vessel wall calcifications may deteriorate the visualization of the coronary artery lumen through the effect of blooming. The blooming artifact results in an artificial obscuring of the vessel lumen, causing an overestimation of the degree of stenosis. This overestimation leads to false-positive findings that are associated with a dechne in the specificity and positive... 

The effect of blooming is to remove the restriction on surface loss by forcing the concentration at the polymer surface to the saturation solubility to maintain equilibrium with the precipitate. Thus, the rate of blooming should be controlled entirely by diffusion within the polymer. Obviously, blooming can only occur until the bulk concentration is reduced to saturation once that concentration is reached, evaporation must take over as the loss mechanism. 

The effect of ozone is complicated in so far as its effect is largely at or near the surface and is of greatest consequence in lightly stressed rubbers. Cracks are formed with an axis perpendicular to the applied stress and the number of cracks increases with the extent of stress. The greatest effect occurs when there are only a few cracks which grow in size without the interference of neighbouring cracks and this may lead to catastrophic failure. Under static conditions of service the use of hydrocarbon waxes which bloom to the surface because of their crystalline nature give some protection but where dynamic conditions are encountered the saturated hydrocarbon waxes are usually used in conjunction with an antiozonant. To date the most effective of these are secondary alkyl-aryl-p-phenylenediamines such as /V-isopropyl-jV-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (IPPD).

Pharmacists also perform an important role as educators of patients (Fleischer, 1999). This is a safety role, because many drugs are safe if used as intended but unsafe if used differently from the way they are intended. Pharmacists routinely inform patients about the need to ingest medications at certain times of the day to ensure steady blood levels. They caution about drowsiness or other manageable side effects. Psycho-social issues are also important in patient education by pharmacists, because every patient develops a unique medication use behavior, and sometimes these behaviors can interfere with the effectiveness of drug therapy (Bloom, 1996). 

The effect of chalking is rapid and marked even after a short weathering time. There appears to be no clear distinction between chalking in the broader sense of the word and plate-out the two phenomena are very much related. As in plate-out and unlike in blooming, the particles that adhere to the polymer surface through chalking can be removed comparatively easily without reappearing.

Effects of Pentavalent Sb Ions on the Adsorption of Divalent Co-57 on Hematite. Benjamin and Bloom reported that arsenate ions enhance the adsorption of cobaltous ions on amorphous iron oxyhydroxide (J 6). Similarly, when divalent Co-57 ions were adsorbed on hematite together with pentavalent Sb ions, an increase of adsorption in the weakly acidic region was observed. For example, when 30 mg of hematite was shaken with 10 cm3 of 0.1 mol/dm3 KC1 solution at pH 5.5 containing carrier-free Co-57 and about 1 mg of pentavalent Sb ions, 95 % of Co-57 and about 30 % of Sb ions were adsorbed. The emission spectra of the divalent Co-57.ions adsorbed under these conditions are shown in Figure 8 together with the results obtained under different conditions. As seen in Figure 8, the spectra of divalent Co-57 co-adsorbed with pentavalent Sb ions are much different from those of Co-57 adsorbed alone (Figure 3). These observations show a marked effect of the.co-adsorbed pentavalent Sb ions on the chemical structure of adsorbed Co-57.
