Energy cells

Covering of Energy Cells Assume that the energy cells under consideration are compact sets and the stepsize r is fixed. We want to construct a collection B of boxes in phase space such that the union Q of these subsets is a covering of the energy cell we focus on. To this end, consider...

The number of distinguishable ways to distribute all of the conduction electrons in their various energy cells is then simply the product... 

The occupation of the valence band may be more easily described in terms of unoccupied states (holes) than occupied states. Let pV/ be the density of holes in energy cell l. Since nv/ = Nvl — pv the definition of pv/ is obvious from Eq. (Bllb). As above, we change from a sum to an integral ... 

We next consider the case when impurities are present. The total number of electrons available for distribution among the various energy cells is then N t + Yji Nui, where the subscript D denotes a donor impurity or defect. 

The carriers in turn donate electrons to acceptors with higher electron affinities, with the release of energy. Cells contain a variety of molecular energy transducers, which convert the energy of electron flow into useful work. 

Every cell actively underwinds its DNA with the aid of enzymatic processes (described below), and the resulting strained state represents a form of stored energy. Cells maintain DNA in an underwound state to facilitate its compaction by coiling. The underwinding of DNA is also important to enzymes of DNA metabolism that must bring about strand separation as part of their function. 

Fatty acids are carried by serum albumin to the liver and to peripheral tissues, where oxida tion of the lipids provides energy. (Cells, such as red blood cells, with few or no mitochondria cannot oxidize fatty acids, nor can the brain, because long-chain fatty acids do not cross the blood-brain barrier.)... 

In the development of the Diesel engine (117) the design of the combustion system has played an important role. Several combustion chamber shapes are presently in use. These include the open chamber (38, 54, 68, 82), the precombustion chamber (24, 32, 92, 108), the turbulence or air-swirl chamber (32), the air cell, and the energy cell (32). In all of these fuel is vaporized by transferring heat from the air charge to the fuel. In a recently developed combustion system (87) the fuel is sprayed on a hot surface which... 

A nutrient is a substance that is used by the body for energy, cell growth, cell maintenance, and cell repair. 

Conservation of energy. Cells constantly control energy-generating reactions so that they consume just enough nutrients to meet their energy requirements. 

Examples of technology originating from scientific inquiry (a) synthesis of a new drug, (b) solar energy cells, (c) preparation of solid-state electronics, (d) use of a gypsy moth sex attractant for insect control.
