Evoked

The reasons Strike wrote this book. The reasons you re reading this book. Ecstasy is the most benign drug Strike has ever encountered. It is passive yet powerful. By powerful Strike does not mean that it incapacitates or makes one dangerous. It is, in fact, quite the opposite. Its power is in its ability to evoke a total sensory bath of tactile, visual and mental enhancement. One s perception is perfectly clear. Hallucinations are nonexistent. The feeling one has is, literally, ecstasy. Plus, it is one of the few narcotics in the world that is not physically addictive. Why this substance was taken away from the people is a question that only government-funded scientists can answer. 

The basic stmcture of a naphthalocyanine dye can be seen in Figure 6 (12). By varying the central atom Y, the organic (polymeric) group at the central atom, and the substituents and X, an adjustment to the desired property profile, especially improved solubihty, can be achieved. Naphthalocyanines with sihcon as central atom evoke special interest, eg, the biaxiahy substituted silicon—naphthalocyanine (13) wherein the central Si bears...

An alternative approach to stimulate cholinergic function is to enhance the release of acetylcholine (ACh). Compounds such as the aminopyridines increase the release of neurotransmitters (148). The mechanism by which these compounds modulate the release of acetylcholine is likely the blockade of potassium channels. However, these agents increase both basal (release in the absence of a stimulus) and stimulus-evoked release (148). 4-Aminopyridine [504-24-5] was evaluated in a pilot study for its effects in AD and found to be mildly effective (149). 

The denomination of odors was schematically related to two separate domains, both related to the memory stimulus of an event concomitant with the perception of the odor. One domain was based on an actual reference point that contains the odor vectors the other was associated with an odor stimulus based on imagination, ie, what image is evoked by the stimulus. With such a system, the final descriptive terminology used would more often than not be expressed in esoteric language, causing confusion and even communication breakdown. The work of Jaubert (1) was the origin of a more standardized descriptive system in the field of aroma description. 

Atrial Natriuretic Factor. Atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) has natriuretic, vasorelaxant, and diuretic properties (142). It was originally discovered in atrial tissue, from which extracts were made and subsequendy injected systematically. The responses evoked from the atrial extracts estabhshed the heart as an endocrine organ. 

Electrochemical cells may be used in either active or passive modes, depending on whether or not a signal, typically a current or voltage, must be actively appHed to the cell in order to evoke an analytically usehil response. Electroanalytical techniques have also been divided into two broad categories, static and dynamic, depending on whether or not current dows in the external circuit (1). In the static case, the system is assumed to be at equilibrium. The term dynamic indicates that the system has been disturbed and is not at equilibrium when the measurement is made. These definitions are often inappropriate because active measurements can be made that hardly disturb the system and passive measurements can be made on systems that are far from equilibrium. The terms static and dynamic also imply some sort of artificial time constraints on the measurement. Active and passive are terms that nonelectrochemists seem to understand more readily than static and dynamic. 

Shock-compression processes are encountered when material bodies are subjected to rapid impulsive loading, whose time of load application is short compared to the time for the body to respond inertially. The inertial responses are stress pulses propagating through the body to communicate the presence of loads to interior points. In our everyday experience, such loadings are the result of impact or explosion. To the untrained observer, such events evoke an image of utter chaos and confusion. Nevertheless, what is experienced by the human senses are the rigid-body effects the time and pressure resolution are not sufficient to sense the wave phenomena. 

The idea of the effective plate number was introduced and employed by Purnell [4], Desty [5] and others in the late 1950s. Its conception was evoked as a direct result of the introduction of the capillary column or open tubular column. Even in 1960, the open tubular column could be constructed to produce efficiencies of up to a million theoretical plates [6]. However, it became immediately apparent that these high efficiencies were only obtained for solutes eluted at very low (k ) values and, consequently, very close to the column dead volume. More importantly, on the basis of the performance realized from packed columns, the high efficiencies did not... 

Inhaled gaseous compounds are absorbed in all parts of the respiratory system whereas particle size determines how deep into the airways the parti cles will he transported in the airstrearn. Shortness of breath is a typical sign of a chemical exposure that has affected the lungs, and it may be evoked through iminunological mechanisms (e.g., formaldehyde, ethyleneoxide), or through toxic irritation (formaldehyde, isocyanates, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, Frequently the mechanism depends on the concentration ol the com...

Employment of higher temperatures e.g. 2000°C) yielded only graphite, aligned parallel to the SiC surface. At low temperatures (lOOO-lSOO C) almost no MWCNTs grew on the SiC surface. By evoking the presence of traces of O2 in the furnace the following thermal decomposition was proposed. 

An encouraging, motivational environment is likely to evoke better performance than a threatening one. It is generally accepted that results are better where employees are empowered to contribute and participate rather than just follow instructions.

This discussion of sources of curvature in Br insted-type plots should suggest caution in the interpretation of observed curvature. There is a related matter, concerning particularly item 5 in this list, namely, the effect of a change in transition state structure. Br nsted-type plots are sometimes linear over quite remarkable ranges, of the order 10 pK units, and this linearity has evoked interest because it seems to be incompatible with Marcus theory, which we reviewed in Section 5.3. The Marcus equation (Eq. 5-69) for the plot of log k against log K of the same reaction series requires curvature, the slope of the plot being the coefficient a. given by Eq. (5-67). A Brjinsted plot, however, is not a Marcus plot, because it correlates rates and equilibria of different reactions. The slope p of a Br nsted plot is defined p = d log kobs/d pK, which we can expand as...

Comparing the alteration in a values with the established changes in fine structure parameters presented in Table 12, it can be seen that the alteration in a values does not correlate with variations in any particular structure parameter. This leads to the conclusion that the ascertained alternation in a must be evoked by a complex change in different substructure, microstructure, and orientation parameters of the fiber.
