Fluctuations dependent

The demand for pipe-coating enamels tends to fluctuate, depending on the success of oil and gas exploration. In the United Kingdom plastic-coated pipes are used on shore. Most production is exported for use in the Middle and Far Eastern regions. [Pg.349]

The absorption, distribution, and accumulation of lead in the human body may be represented by a three-part model (6). The first part consists of red blood cells, which move the lead to the other two parts, soft tissue and bone. The blood cells and soft tissue, represented by the liver and kidney, constitute the mobile part of the lead body burden, which can fluctuate depending on the length of exposure to the pollutant. Lead accumulation over a long period of time occurs in the bones, which store up to 95% of the total body burden. However, the lead in soft tissue represents a potentially greater toxicological hazard and is the more important component of the lead body burden. Lead measured in the urine has been found to be a good index of the amount of mobile lead in the body. The majority of lead is eliminated from the body in the urine and feces, with smaller amounts removed by sweat, hair, and nails. [Pg.102]

Prices for electricity fluctuate depending on the time of day. England has electricity costs of 22 cents per kilowatt hour and is further north than most inhabited parts of Canada and receives limited solar radiation over much of the year. This makes conventional solar power not very competitive at grid delivered costs. However, kilowatt hour photovoltaic costs have been in an exponential decline for decades, with a 20-fold decrease from 1975 to 2001. [Pg.281]

At thermal equilibrium, the helical fraction and all other quantities characterizing the conformation of a helix-forming polypeptide are fluctuating from time to time about certain mean values which are uniquely determined by three basic parameters s, a, and N. The rates of these fluctuations depend on how fast helix units are created or disappear at various positions in the molecular chain. Recently, there has been great interest in estimating the mean relaxation times of these local helix-coil interconversion processes, and several methods have been proposed and tested. In what follows, we outline the theory underlying the dielectric method due to Schwarz (122, 123) as reformulated by Teramoto and Fujita (124). [Pg.139]

In some cases, it is possible to take advantage of various thermodynamic relationships to write some property as a fluctuation-dependent quantity. Thus, for example, the entropy change may be computed from... [Pg.445]

Tn the critical region of mixtures of two or more components some physical properties such as light scattering, ultrasonic absorption, heat capacity, and viscosity show anomalous behavior. At the critical concentration of a binary system the sound absorption (13, 26), dissymmetry ratio of scattered light (2, 4-7, II, 12, 23), temperature coefficient of the viscosity (8,14,15,18), and the heat capacity (15) show a maximum at the critical temperature, whereas the diffusion coefficient (27, 28) tends to a minimum. Starting from the fluctuation theory and the basic considerations of Omstein and Zemike (25), Debye (3) made the assumption that near the critical point, the work which is necessary to establish a composition fluctuation depends not only on the average square of the amplitude but also on the average square of the local... [Pg.55]

Closely related to the striking uniformity of inner-city heroin prices at retail level in the United States is the gigantic discrepancy between known levels of opium production for illegal purposes and consumption by the world s addict population. Fairly reliable statistical data are available for both. Within great margins of fluctuation depending on weather, enforcement, and other conditions, available supply exceeds demand by roughly a factor often. [Pg.65]

Peel values are recorded in pounds per inch of width of the bonded specimen. They tend to fluctuate more than any other adhesive test result because of the extremely small area at which the stress is localized during loading. Even during the test, the peel strength values tend to fluctuate depending on the type of adhesive, adherend, and condition of the test. In preparing the samples, care must be taken to produce void-free laminated bond lines. [Pg.451]

When the two jets meet at a free stagnation plane, the strength of the generated stochastic fluctuations depend directly on the axial momentum of... [Pg.128]

The amount of volume flow fluctuations depends largely on the volumetric efficiency and the number of plungers. [Pg.575]

The minimum lethal dose to mice by oral administration that has been reported is 0.25 mg/kg however, lethality fluctuates depending on individuals and age (Ito et al. 2002). Interestingly, the intraperi-toneal and oral lethal doses in mice are fairly close for azaspiracid-1, which is not the case for other groups of marine toxins (Ito et al. 2002 Ito et al. 2000). The relative toxic potency for different analogues is only known for azaspirazids-1 to -5, and the comparison is based in monse lethal doses by intraperitoneal injection. Azaspiracids-1, -2, and -3 are the more toxic forms, with monse lethal doses of 0.2 mg/kg, 0.11 mg/kg, and 0.14 mg/kg, respectively (Ofuji et al. 1999a Satake et al. 1998a), followed by azaspiracid-4 (0.47 mg/kg) and the less toxic azaspiracid-5 (approximately 1.0 mg/kg) (Ofuji etal. 2001). [Pg.313]

Another force [57, 58] occurs in a multilayered system, like a swollen lamellar phase of surfactant bilayers or phospholipid vesicles. Shape fluctuations in the bilayers can give rise to steric effects that are supposed to stabilise such systems where the van der Waals and double-layer forces are very weak, as they often are. The magnitude of such fluctuations depends on the "stiffness" of die bilayer. The status of these forces is the subject of an active debate and imclear. [Pg.112]

In the author s experience, the cost of credit enhancement ranges between 0.40% and 0.75% of the amount of credit extended, and the cost of liquidity ranges between 0.15% and 0.35% of the amount of the commitment made available. These amounts fluctuate depending on the particular transaction and the supply of suitable parties willing to provide such enhancement or liquidity. [Pg.11]

The RO machine consists of 78 sepralators using SEPA -97 membrane. A 50 Hp motor is the only energy required and it runs a pump supplying pressure to the membranes at 50 to 480 psig (3041-3243 kPa). The most common feed water temperature to the RO is 80-8S°F (27-30°C) but the temperature will fluctuate depending on the specific time of the year. The machine is running... [Pg.228]
