Equal house system

The simplest system — well, actually the second simplest — was invented by Ptolemy almost 2,000 years ago. It s called the equal house system because it assumes that all the houses are the same size. In this system, if your Ascendant is 12°26 Leo (like Johnny Depp s), you have 12°26 Virgo onthe cusp ofthe second... 

In this presentation, I wish to introduce the related topic of molecular dissimilarity, and to suggest that it may prove to be of equal, or perhaps even greater, value. This concept is not so well-established as its converse. It has been implemented in the Pfizer in-house systems, and has also been investigated at Upjohn. Of the commercial systems, only ORAC/OSAC currently offers a specific dissimilarity option. 

It was established by feeding measurements that there was a potential difference of 0.45 V between the turbine shaft and the housing. A shaft slip-ring served for the necessaiy potential equalization (see Fig. 21-5). After this system was installed, the potential difference was only <5 mV. According to the operating conditions of the turbine, a current up to 1.5 A flows through this system. 

If a person has the choice of installing oil, gas, or electric systems to heat a house and believes that any one of the three would perform equally well, the system that is cheapest is the efficient choice. If, however, the individual compares heating with an oil furnace to heating with a wood-burning stove, monetary cost may not be the only consideration. 

If the solar system is less ambitious and designed to provide only part of the heat, the cost of the solar collecting system is less. In this case, the cost of the solar harvesting system must be added to the cost a second heating plant to heat the house when solar heat is inadequate. With the combined costs of solar and conventional heating systems, the dual system requires 15 to 20 years for the savings in conventional fuel costs to equal the cost of the solar collectors. Because of the complexity, maintenance problems and costs there is little incentive to install solar heating in homes. 

Nucleic acids are traditionally fixed to membranes in a vacuum oven (a conventional oven can be used for nylon membranes). The house vacuum system is usually adequate and baking of most membranes is at 80°C. UV crosslinking is an attractive alternative although it is only recommended for specific membranes. Special equipment is available for sophisticated, well-controlled UV irradiation (e.g., Stratalinker from Stratagene). However, conventional transilluminators available in the laboratory perform equally well. 

These processes can result in the removal of a quantity of pollution through the common sewer system from housing estates via discharge chambers into the recipient (expressed in the terms of BOD5) which equals the residual pollution in the run-off from a mechanical-biological wastewater treatment plant. Because the character of precipitation is discontinuous and varies with time, the immediate effect on the recipient is less favourable. In the case of more intensive rainfalls, within a short-time interval the loading of the recipient can be 50 to 100 times higher than that in dry periods. 

Finally, an experiment was conducted by the BVC regarding use and efficiency of a liquid acidifier, in which broilers were divided in four groups of 50 birds. Birds were reared on deep litter system of housing under ideal and identical management and environmental conditions. The acidifier (a blend containing equal amounts of propionic acid and formic acid) was used at a rate of 0.5 litres per 1000 litres drinking water (table 7).
