A similar recipe for the Pellet for Expelling the Demons is found in Sun Simiao s anthology of Taiqing methods, the Essential Instructions from the Scripture of the Elixirs of Great Clarity. The corresponding talisman is not reproduced either in the commentary to the Scripture of Great Clarity or in Sun Simiao s work, but is found in the commentary to the Nine Elixirs (see Fig. z) together with a third similar recipe for the Pellet. ... 

Besides their formal similarities, other details show that Sun Simiao s Essential Instructions and the Records from the Stone Wall are closely related to each other and draw on a common source. Many alternative names of the elixirs, usually listed in the Records with their recipes, are the same as those found in Sun Simiao s Essential InstructionsMoreover, the Records gives the methods of four elixirs mentioned, but not described, in the Essential In-structionsd Further evidence on the relation between the two texts is provided by a short Tang treatise devoted to the alchemical materia medica, entitled Instructions on an Inventory of Forty-five Metals and Minerals Jinshi bu ivujiu shu jue). With only one exception, the fourteen short descriptions of minerals found in the third chapter of the Records correspond to those given in the Inventory, and four of them are also in the Essential Instruc-... 

These textual similarities show that the Records from the Stone Wall of Great Clarity, Sun Simiao s Essential Instructions, and the Tang Inventory all drew their descriptions of minerals from a single source. The association of the former two texts with the Taiqing tradition points to one of the enlarged versions of the Scripture of Great Clarity as the source in question. 

Managements must consider these as a very essential system of the plant. Following should be carefully looked into while installing a fire fighting system (FFS), as proper compliance can reduce the premium to be paid to the insurance company besides meeting instructions from the statutory authorities like factory irrspectors, electrical inspectors etc. This investment is necessary for safety ofpersonnel and plant. 

Since many essential nutrients (e.g., monosaccharides, amino acids, and vitamins) are water-soluble, they have low oil/water partition coefficients, which would suggest poor absorption from the GIT. However, to ensure adequate uptake of these materials from food, the intestine has developed specialized absorption mechanisms that depend on membrane participation and require the compound to have a specific chemical structure. Since these processes are discussed in Chapter 4, we will not dwell on them here. This carrier transport mechanism is illustrated in Fig. 9C. Absorption by a specialized carrier mechanism (from the rat intestine) has been shown to exist for several agents used in cancer chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil and 5-bromouracil) [37,38], which may be considered false nutrients in that their chemical structures are very similar to essential nutrients for which the intestine has a specialized transport mechanism. It would be instructive to examine some studies concerned with riboflavin and ascorbic acid absorption in humans, as these illustrate how one may treat urine data to explore the mechanism of absorption. If a compound is... 

We now consider procedures that do not involve synthesis (excerpts 3M—30). There are literally hundreds of such procedures in chemistry however, these few excerpts illustrate essential features of how such procedures are generally written. As in syntheses, nonsynthetic procedures begin with a descriptive subheading following the subheading, the procedure is described in concise, complete sentences, including only those details needed by an expert audience. Such details are often quantitative in nature (e.g., the number of cells to plate). Information that is largely for students (e.g., zero the balance ) or available elsewhere (e.g., instructions from an operator s manual) is omitted. 

RNA directs biosynthesis of various peptides and proteins essential for any living organisms. Protein biosynthesis seems to be catalysed by mRNA rather than protein-based enzymes and occur on the ribosome. On the ribosome, the mRNA acts as a template to pass on the genetic information that it has transcribed from the DNA. The specific ribonucleotide sequence in mRNA forms an instruction or codon that determines the order in which different amino acid residues are to be joined. Each instruction or codon along the mRNA chain comprises a sequence of three ribonucleotides that is specific for a given amino acid. For example, the codon U-U-C on mRNA directs incorporation of the amino acid phenylalanine into the growing protein. 

Doped semiconductors are essential components in the modern solid-state electronic devices found in radios, television sets, pocket calculators, and computers. Devices such as transistors, which control electrical signals in these products, are made from M-type and p-type semiconductors. In modern integrated circuits, an amazing number of extremely small devices can be packed into a small space, thus decreasing the size and increasing the speed of electrical equipment. For example, computer microprocessors now contain up to 42 million transistors on a silicon chip with a surface area of about 2 cm2 and are able to execute as many as 1.5 billion instructions per second. 

Figure 6 is instructive regarding the magnitude of leakage from pump 5, shown in Figure 5, after ca 5 h of pumping. Pump 5 was a commercial Orbitron made by the National Research Corporation. After ca 4 h from the start of the pump down, the electric power to the pump was turned off, whereas the power to the BAG remained on. The total pressure in the system rose very rapidly, and this response is recorded in Figure 6. Within a short time, however, this rise reached a maximum and assumed a small slope downward. After ca 200 s, the reading on the BAG was close to the reading achieved before the Orbitron power had been turned off It remained essentially constant for two months after the initial pump down.
