Extension work

With these simplifications, and with various values of the as and bs, van Laar (1906-1910) calculated a wide variety of phase diagrams, detennining critical lines, some of which passed continuously from liquid-liquid critical points to liquid-gas critical points. Unfortunately, he could only solve the difficult coupled equations by hand and he restricted his calculations to the geometric mean assumption for a to equation (A2.5.10)). For a variety of reasons, partly due to the eclipse of the van der Waals equation, this extensive work was largely ignored for decades. 

There has been extensive work done on myoglobin, haemoglobin, Cytocln-ome-c, rhodopsin and bacteriorhodopsin. In fact, there are literally hundreds of articles on each of the above subjects. Flere we will consider haemoglobin [12]. The first tliree of these examples are based on the protohaeme unit, shown in figure Bl.2.10. 

The extensive work of Lubineau further demonstrated the merits of water with respect to the rates and selectivities of the Diels-Alder reaction. Since 1985 he has published a large number of articles dealirig mainly with dienes that were rendered water soluble through the temporary introduction of a... 

University of California, San Francisco. The original AMBER has become one of the more widely used academic force fields and extensive work has gone into developing it — resulting in a number of versions of the method and associated parameters. Hyper-Chem gives results equivalent to Versions 2.0 and 3.0a of the AMBERprogram distributed by the Kollman group and parameter sets for both these versions are distributed with HyperChem. 

Although the compounds were isolated in quantities of only a few milligrams per kilogram of cmde plant leaves, extensive work on a variety of animal tumor systems led to eventual clinical use of these bases, first alone and later in conjunction with other materials, in the treatment of Hodgkin s disease and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Their main effect appears to be binding tightly to tubuHn, the basic component of microtubules found in eukaryotic cells, thus interfering with its polymerization and hence the formation of microtubules required for tumor proliferation (82). 

Lanthanide luminescence apphcations have already reached industrial levels of consumption. Additionally, the strongly specific nature of the rare-earths energy emissions has also led to extensive work in several areas such as photostimulable phosphors, lasers (qv), dosimetry, and fluorescent immunoassay (qv) (33). 

Extensive work has been done on corrosion inhibitors (140), activated carbon use (141—144), multiple absorption zones and packed columns (145,146), and selective absorption and desorption of gas components (147,148). Alkan olamines can also be used for acid gas removal in ammonia plants (149). 

Seawater Evaporators The production of potable water from saline waters represents a large and growing field of application for evaporators. Extensive work done in this field to 1972 was summarized in the annual Saline Water Conversion Repoi ts of the Office of Sahne Water, U.S. Department of the Interior. Steam economies on the order of 10 kg evaporation/kg steam are usually justified because (1) unit production capacities are high, (2) fixed charges are low on capital used for pubhc works (i.e., they use long amortization periods and have low interest rates, with no other return on investment considered), (3) heat-transfer performance is comparable with that of pure water, and (4) properly treated seawater causes httle deterioration due to scahng or fouhng. 

What follows is a very brief summary of the extensive work of Pratt and his coworkers, Dell, Gayler, Lewis, Jones, Roberts, and White [Trans. Inst. Chem. Eng. (London), 29, 89, 110, 126 (1951) 31, 57, 69 (1953) Chem. Tnd. (London), 1952, p. 358]. For the standard commercial packings of 1.27-cm (l/2-in) size and larger, at low values of V, (j) varies hnearly with up to values of (j) = 0.10. With further increase ofV,. (j) increases sharply up to a lower transition point, ... 

Vibration beeomes eritieal in tlie intermediate ranges beeause stmetural members are relatively less massive and the speeds are high enough to mateh the resulting natural frequeneies in some eases. Thorough testing of rotors is essential, and extensive work has been done in this area. 

The original work by NACA and NASA is the basis on which most modern axial-flow compressors are designed. Under NACA, a large number of blade profiles were tested. The test data on these blade profiles is published. The cascade data conducted by NACA is the most extensive work of its kind. In most commercial axial-flow compressors NACA 65 series blades are used. These blades are usually specified by notation similar to the following 65-(18) 10. This notation means that the blade has a lift coefficient of 1.8, a profile shape 65, and a thickness/chord ratio of 10%. The lift coefficient can be directly related to the blade camber angle by the following relationship for 65 series blades ... 

The subjeet of fluidization and researeh and development in this field, probably reaehed its peak in the early 1980 s with extensive work being applied by the petroleum industry in synthetie fuels development sueh as shale oil, eoal gasifieation, pyrolysis applications. Prior to this, significant development work was done in the petroleum industry for flexieraeking and flexieoking operations. Fluidization still remains an area of aetive researeh and industry development, and the teehnology is well established in a variety of industry seetors. 

For the purpose of our discussion, a polycrown is here defined as a polymer system arising by polymerization of a crown monomer unit. Extensive work has been done in this field by Kopolow, Hogen Esch and Smid and the examples presented here are taken from a paper by all three of these workers. A typical preparation of vinylbenzo-15-crown-5 is accomplished according to the scheme shown as Eq. (6.25). One might also have utilized a formylation/Wittig sequence on benzo-15-crown-5 to accomplish the same end. 

As a result of rather extensive work on the hydrogenation of olefins 139,151 mechanism originally proposed by Horiuti and Polanyi is currently accepted ... 

Extensive work in this area by the Syntex group provides additional important information with respect to the mechanistic aspects of such cycloadditions. At the same time, the method proved of considerable utility for the preparation of cyclobutane compounds bearing a wide variety of substituents. 

One of the significant drawbacks of multidimensional analytical methods is the specificity of the conditions of each separation mode for a particular sample type, together with restrictive requirements for the type and operational conditions of the interface between them. Therefore, extensive work in the method development stage, along with the availability of highly skilled personnel for operating such systems, are required. 

Fair [183] relates sieve trays and includes valve tray remarks to the extensive work done for bubble cap trays. Figure 8-137 and 8-139 show flooding data for 24-in. spacing of bubble cap trays from [81] and represents data well for 36-in. diameter columns, and is conservative for smaller columns. Fair s work has been corrected to 20 dynes/ cm surface tension by ... 

Because cast iron components are normally very heavy in section, the relatively low rates of attack associated with atmospheric corrosion do not constitute a problem and little work has been carried out on the phenomenon. A summary of some of the data available is given in Table 3.42. The most extensive work in this field was initiated by the A.S.T.M. in 1958 and some of the results produced by these studies are quoted in Table 3.43. It will be noted that there is a marked fall in corrosion rate with time for all the metals tested. 

Extensive work into the corrosion and oxidation of uranium and its alloys has been undertaken over the past decade but much of this is in the form of Ministry and industrial reports which are not necessarily readily available. The present review concentrates on the work published in the normal scientific and technical press. 

Much of the extensive work on crack velocity described here has been carried out over a long period by Spiedel. Detailed studies of velocity-dependent and velocity-independent parameters reveal how complex the phenomenon is. The three major alloy systems will now be discussed.
