Expected Advantages

The widespread interest in continuous methods is readily explained by the expected advantages ... 

Theoretically, each electrode should have a hyperbolic cross section for optimized geometry of the resulting quadrupole field, and thus for optimized performance. [103,104] However, cyclindrical rods are often employed instead, for ease of manufacture. By adjusting the radius of the rods carefully (r = 1.1468ro), a hyperbolic field may be approximated. [113] However, even slight distortions of the ideal quadrupole field either from interference with external fields or due to low mechanical precision or inadequate shape of the device cause severe losses of transmission and resolution. [114] The expected advantages of hyperbolic rods [115] have been demonstrated by ion trajectory calculations [110,116] circular rods cause a reduction in macromotion frequency because of an increased residence time of the ions in close vicinity to the rods this in turn means reduced resolution. 

The main expected advantage is that such an accelerator could be hospital-based, and thus fractionation (of the irradiation and drug administration) could be optimized since the machine would be available 24 hr a day. In addition, patient positioning could be made easier and more accurate. 

HMX was first evaluated with hydrocarbon binders (Butarez, a carboxy-terminated polybutadiene, and Butyl rubber) because of their high thermal stability, in addition to the expected advantages of high impetus levels and low flame temps. In the Butarez binder, an 85% HMX level produced an impetus of 370000 ft-lbs/lb and a flame temp of 2540°K. At 84% HMX, the system was under-oxidized, at 86% the flame temp exceeded 2600°K. Because of a less favorable heat of formation, higher HMX loadings were required for the Butyl rubber system, ie, about 87% HMX and 13% Butyl rubber vs 85% HMX and 15% Butarez for an impetus of 370000 ft-lbs/lb. In the hydrocarbon formulations, the Butarez polymer appeared more attractive thermodynamically... 

Additionally the expected advantage in using a standard silicon technology is lessened by the fact that it is not possible to use the described special gate materials in a standard CMOS foundry. 

The expected advantages of the proposed experiment are of three kinds. First, this experiment will operate on isolated atoms, thus avoiding all possible parasitic effects related to macroscopic samples. Second, its sensitivity is expected to be at least comparable and hopefully larger than the one achieved by the best previous experiments reported below. Third, one can perform the experiment with the two natural isotopes of lithium, 6Li and 7Li and comparing these two results will lead to an independent measurement of neutron charge. 

Another expected advantage of the technique is a good control of the whole extraction/separation process. It is worth recaUing that, with the classical supercritical fluid extraction process, the choice of optimal extraction conditions is often... 

In this subsection, the problem of a-posteriori application integration in the area of business process support is investigated. Current solutions, representing the state-of-the-art in industry, and their deficits are discussed first. Then, key concepts of the service-oriented paradigm are introduced and related to the problem of a-posteriori integration. Expected advantages of the service-oriented approach are finally discussed. 

What are the expected advantages of fusion reactors over fission reactors ... 

In large-cell lymphoma, a liposomal formulation of vincristine (ONCO-TCS), given in doses of 2 mg/m , has less neurotoxicity and retains activity in patients who relapse after vincristine therapy. It has the expected advantages of slower elimination and greater tissue distribution as compared to the unmodified drug. 

The motivation to replace the aluminum with a plastic module arose from a number of expected advantages such as considerable weight reduction, parts integration, energy absorption, and feasibility for automated, high-volume processing with a potential for rapid and low-cost production. 

When the purification circuit at Trail Operations was upgraded in the early 1990s, a high-density, antimony-activated system was installed for cobalt removal (Figure 5). The expected advantages of this hot-stage purification system were ...
