Incidents like these and many more could be prevented by fitting a numbered tag to the joint or valve and putting that number on the work permit. In incident (c), the foreman would have had to go up onto the scaffold to fix the tag. Accidents have occun ed, however, despite tagging systems. 

In canned pumps the rotor (the moving part of the electric motor) is immersed in the process liquid the stator (the fixed part of the electric motor) is separated from the rotor by a stainless steel can. If there is a hole in the can, process liquid can get into the stator compartment. A pressure relief plug is therefore fitted to the compartment and should be used before the compartment is opened for work on the stator. One day, an operator opened the pump without using the pressure relief plug. There was a hole in the can which had caused a pressure build-up in the stator compartment. When the cover was unbolted, it was blown off and hit a scaffold 6 feet above. On the way up it hit a man on the knee and the escaping vapor caused eye irritation. The worker was not familiar with canned pumps and did not realize that the pressure relief plug should be used before opening the compartment. 

An alternative approach is that adopted by Horrocks and co-workers, where the aromatic residues in metal-binding proteins are used as sensitizers. Since the distance between the metal and the donor is effectively fixed, this provides a rigid scaffold for the experiment, and the absence of a directly conjugated pathway between the metals means that Forster (through space) energy transfer can be assumed. The r-6 distance-dependence of this means that the extent of sensitized emission from the lanthanide ion provides information on the spatial relationship between the metal-ion binding site (lanthanide ions often bind at Ca2+ sites) and nearby aromatic residues. 58-60... 

It has been assumed that the nucleus contains an immobile structure , in which chromatin fibers are partially attached and fixed. These structures are called nuclear matrix or nuclear scaffold . When cells are successively treated with detergent, high-salt solution and DNase I, the nuclear scaffold can be observed as a fibrous network in the cell nucleus (Fey et al, 1986 Nickerson, 2001 Yoshimura et al, 2003) (Fig. 2b). The biochemical analyses of the nuclear scaffold have identified a 174kDa protein as a major component (Fisher et al, 1982). This protein is now known as topo II (Berrios et al, 1985). 

Fava et al. developed a bioreactor to degrade chlorinated hydrocarbons in waste-water. Among other materials, polyurethane cubes were used as scaffolds. The degrading cells were immobilized in a fixed-bed reactor and showed significant... 

The cis stereochemistry of spiro-(3-lactams 221 was established by NOE experiments and X-ray diffraction analysis. These spiro-(3-lactams would serve as important heterocyclic compounds possessing diverse scaffolds to which different functional groups could be fixed in a stereodefined 3D topological arrangement. 

Compared to polymers, dendrimer architectures offer favourable conditions for fixation of catalytically active moieties thanks to their monodispersity, variability, structural regularity of the molecular scaffold, and numerous functionalisation possibilities. Catalytic units can be fixed - multiply if required - on the periphery, in the core of a dendrimer, or at the focal point of a dendron. If the dendrimers are suitably functionalised at the periphery, appropriate metal complexes can be directly attached to the surface of the molecule. In contrast, dendrimers functionalised in the core or at the focal point shield the catalytically active site through their shell structure in a targeted manner, for example to attain substrate selectivity in the case of reactants of different sizes [1]. The corresponding concepts of exodendral and endodendral fixation of catalysts were inttoduced in the context of functionalistion of carbosilane, polyether, and polyester dendrimers [2]. Exodendral fixation refers to attachment of the catalytic units to the... 

Van Koterfs group used a chemically inert, lipophilic carbosilane dendrimer scaffold as support material for fixation of up to 12 transition metal complex fragments. The covalently fixed fragments with nickel as catalytic site acceler-... 

Another class of bifunctional organocatalysts for the enantioselective aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction of imines (112) with enones (113) (Scheme 6) is based on BINOL (115). The efficiency of the catalysts proved to be mainly influenced by the position of the Lewis basic moiety attached to the BINOL scaffold. The activation of the substrate by acid-base functionalities and the fixing of conformation of the catalyst (115) are apparently harmonized to maximize the enantiocontrol (<95% ee) 52... 

Cholapods (Scheme 9.5) are receptors based on a steroid core that feature both electron-withdrawing substituents (to enhance anion-binding) and a C2o side chain (to increase solubility in organic solvents). As might be expected, the rigid backbone present in cholapods makes them potentially ideal scaffolds in that they possess a fixed inner cavity as well as conformational rigidity [16,56,57]. However, only a few... 

If retardation is caused by adsorption on granular solids or other fixed surfaces, the technique is called adsorption chromatography, as noted above. If the solid surfaces merely act as a scaffold to hold an absorbing liquid (which may be of a chosen polarity) in place—perhaps within the pores of solid particles—we have partition chromatography. Many cases lie between these extremes this occurs whenever the solid acts as a support for liquid but retains some adsorptive activity [7]. A special case exists with chemically-bonded phases (CBPs), which usually consist of a one-molecule thick layer of hydrocarbon (often C18) chemically bonded to the solid surface. (These nonpolar phases are frequently used for nonpolar solutes in RPLC.) Partitioning into such a thin layer is affected by the nearby surface, especially since the configuration and motion of each attached molecule is restricted by its fixed anchor to the surface [8]. 

Supplementary support for the interpretation of the temperature-dependent dynamic H NMR spectra of 33 is presented by additional studies of (A,A,A,A)/(A,A,A,A)-[(EtNH3)4n Mg4(L12)6 ] (34). In 33 and 34, the methylene protons of the ligands exhibit identical VT NMR spectra. Moreover, the diastereotopic methylene protons (magenta) of the ethyl ammonium counterions of 34 display similar temperature-dependent coalescence as the ligand vinylether methylene protons (green). This is due to the fact that, even in solution, the ethyl ammonium groups are fixed to the tripodal calix-like surfaces of the [Mg4(L12)6]4 scaffold and therefore the methylene protons are in a chiral environment and display diastereotopicity. 

Physical and computational chemistry provides us with good approaches for quantification of structure. These apply differently for the two cases of a BBL being a fixed backbone (scaffold) plus "substituents", or when the BBL has a more complicated composition. 

German experts are divided on this point, however. Those who scoff at the idea argue that because time is required for the picture to make a lasting impression on the retina, the difficulty of photographing it is great. In support of this it is said that a man on the scaffold, whose eyes had been kept in darkness, was instructed to fix them on a certain object before the drop fell, and a microscopical examination of his eyes showed an inverted image of the object in each, but of vague appearance. 

Examples of library selections based on virtual products, rather than monomers, have been reported, especially when the computational burden is reduced by fixing the scaffold orientation and optimizing only the randomization points (33). From now on we will not mention specifically if selections are performed on virtual sets of reagents or products, providing that the reader remembers throughout the rest of this section the relevance of this issue and its dependence on project-related factors (number, availability of hardware/software, and so on), rather than on dogmatic assumptions. 

Planar chirality is usually associated with disubstituted aryl ligands coordinated to a metal atom [55] (see Figure 2.8). In this arrangement, the arene scaffold is fixed in space (by coordination to the metal atom) and the position of the two substituents on the arene ring... 

The generic pathway (Fig. la see Color Insert) commences with formation of a precursor particle or procapsid, whose assembly usually requires at least three components the connector or portal protein (one oligomer), the shell or coat protein (a fixed complement, according to the capsid size or T number), and a scaffolding protein (a potentially variable copy number). On completion of the procapsid, DNA packaging is initiated and proceeds in linear fashion from the replicating concatemer into the procapsid, powered by terminase, a multifunctional protein complex with both ATPase and endonuclease activities.
