Non-dispersive spectrometry is an alternative to the classic, dispersive technique where monochromators are used, as depicted schematically in Fig. 2.67. Non-dispersive techiuques, used mainly in infrared spectroscopy, are based generally on interferometry. The sample is irradiated by polychromatic radiation. After transmitting the sample, the fight forms an interference pattern, which contains aU pieces of information that could be obtained alternatively by dispersive methods. Several types of interferometers can be built in integrated optics having miiuature dimensions. They are useful for chemical sensors. 

A colourless gas, b.p. — 59-C/740 mm. Used as a relatively non-toxic propellant gas in fire fighting apparatus, e.g. dry-powder extinguishers. Made by the bromination of fluoro-form, CHF3. 

AFFF, AQUEOUS FILM-FORMING FOAM Fire-fighting foam which flows on burning liquid as a film, providing rapid knock-down. 

When smooth muscle myosin is bound to F-actin in the absence of other muscle proteins such as tropomyosin, there is no detectable ATPase activity. This absence of activity is quite unlike the situation described for striated muscle myosin and F-actin, which has abundant ATPase activity. Smooth muscle myosin contains fight chains that prevent the binding of the myosin head to F-actin they must be phosphorylated before they allow F-actin to activate myosin ATPase. The ATPase activity then attained hydrolyzes ATP about tenfold more slowly than the corresponding activity in skeletal muscle. The phosphate on the myosin fight chains may form a chelate with the Ca bound to the tropomyosin-TpC-actin complex, leading to an increased rate of formation of cross-bridges between the myosin heads and actin. The phosphorylation of fight chains initiates the attachment-detachment contraction cycle of smooth muscle. 

Corrosion science has now developed into an independent branch of electrochemistry that has intimate connections with other fields of science, particularly physical metallurgy. Its chief concerns are the origin and mechanisms of the various forms of corrosive attack and the development of efficient ways to fight corrosion. 

Agranulocytosis A severe form of neutropenia where the number of neutrophils (the major type of leucocyte or white blood cell) is very low, so reducing an individual s ability to fight infection. It is a potentially serious side effect of the atypical antipsychotic clozapine.
