In the latter the surfactant monolayer (in oil and water mixture) or bilayer (in water only) forms a periodic surface. A periodic surface is one that repeats itself under a unit translation in one, two, or three coordinate directions similarly to the periodic arrangement of atoms in regular crystals. It is still not clear, however, whether the transition between the bicontinuous microemulsion and the ordered bicontinuous cubic phases occurs in nature. When the volume fractions of oil and water are equal, one finds the cubic phases in a narrow window of surfactant concentration around 0.5 weight fraction. However, it is not known whether these phases are bicontinuous. No experimental evidence has been published that there exist bicontinuous cubic phases with the ordered surfactant monolayer, rather than bilayer, forming the periodic surface. 

The SCLl structure. Fig. 8(a), is triply continuous, the GLl, SCL2, Fig. 8(b,c), are quadruply continuous, and GL2, Fig. 8(d) is sextuply continuous. For bigger sizes of the unit cell one is able to generate the structures -tuply continuous. It is remarkable that the volume fraction of oil and water is 0.5 for all these structures. The genus for every surface in a given -tuply continuous structure is the same. 

This terpene occurs principally in oil of savin, but has also been found in marjoram, cardamom, sho-gyu and a few other essential oils. It is obtained from the fraction of oil of savin which boils below 195°, which amounts to about 30 per cent, of the oil. It has probably not been isolated in a state of absolute purity, but its characters are approximately as follows —... 

The fraction of oil of cade boiling at 260° to 280° is converted into cadinene dihydrochloride by saturating its solution in dry ether with dry hydrochloric acid gas. The hydrochloride is separated, dried, and leorystallised, and the hydrochloric acid removed by heating it with aniline or with sodium acetate in glacial acetic acid. The liberated cadinene is rectified in a current of steam. Cadinene from oil of cade is highly laevo-rotatory, the dextro-rotatory variety being obtained from Atlas cedar oil and West Indian sandalwood oil. 

Cadinene forms a well-defined crystalline dihydrochloride, C15H24.2HC1. In order to prepare it most successfully the fraction of oil of cade boiling between 260° and 280°, as mentioned above, is dissolved in twice its volume of dry ether, and saturated with dry hydro-ohloric acid gas. The mixture is allowed to stand for several days and... 

Brooks has isolated from the fraction of oil of ginger boiling at 151° to 157° at 15 mm. an alcohol which he finds to be a sesquiterpene alcohol, CjsH gO, corresponding to the sesquiterpene zingiberene. It has the fragrant odour of ginger, and probably possesses one of the following constitutions —... 

Semmler and Mayer have isolated a sesquiterpene alcohol, from the high boiling fractions of oil of cloves.. It was probably not obtained in an absolutely pure condition, but had the following characters, which must be regarded as approximate only —... 

The pore geometry described in the above section plays a dominant role in the fluid transport through the media. For example, Katz and Thompson [64] reported a strong correlation between permeability and the size of the pore throat determined from Hg intrusion experiments. This is often understood in terms of a capillary model for porous media in which the main contribution to the single phase flow is the smallest restriction in the pore network, i.e., the pore throat. On the other hand, understanding multiphase flow in porous media requires a more complete picture of the pore network, including pore body and pore throat. For example, in a capillary model, complete displacement of both phases can be achieved. However, in real porous media, one finds that displacement of one or both phases can be hindered, giving rise to the concept of residue saturation. In the production of crude oil, this often dictates the fraction of oil that will not flow. 

Changing the wettability of reservoir rock surfaces from oil-wet to water-wet, increases the permeability of the formation to oil, decreases the permeability to water, decreases mobility ratio, increases sweep efficiency, increases the flowing fraction of oil at every saturation, and increases oil recovery at the economic limit of the waterflood. 

The high viscosity of heavy crude oils is essentially due to the high levels of asphaltene content. Asphaltene is the highest MW component of crude oil, is a friable, amorphous dark solid, which is colloidally dispersed, in the oily portion of the crude. Asphaltenes are considered to be heavily condensed aromatic molecules with aliphatic side chains and with high heteroatom content (S, N, and O) as well as high-metal content. The asphaltene fraction is physically defined as that fraction insoluble in n-alkanes, but soluble in toluene and is the most polar fraction of oil.

There are indications that pure naphthalene (a constituent of mothballs, which are, by definition, toxic to moths) and alkylnaphthalenes are from three to 10 times more toxic to test animals than are benzene and alkylbenzenes. In addition, and because of the low water solubility of tricyclic and polycyclic (polynuclear) aromatic hydrocarbons (i.e., those aromatic hydrocarbons heavier than naphthalene), these compounds are generally present at very low concentrations in the water-soluble fraction of oil. Therefore, the results of this smdy and others conclude that the soluble aromatics of crude oil (such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, and naphthalenes) produce the majority of its toxic effects in the enviromnent. 

Chinese sassafras oils are oils or fractions of oils, rich in safrole, that are obtained from different species of the camphor tree (see Camphor Oils) [772]. 

Pyridine has been found in both subsurface and groundwater as a result of industrial activities such as synthetic fuel production and chemical manufacturing (Sims O Eoughlin, 1989). Pyridine is a component in the basic fraction of oil-shale...

EXTENSIONS AND COMMENTARY This is pretty sparse information upon which to build a picture of biological activity. First, the synthesis was done by someone else and, as I have not been able to find where the notes are, this will be the one recipe in the footnote without explicit directions incorporated. The procedure used was exactly the same as that described for DMMDA, except that the starting material was dillapiole rather than apiole. The dillapiole was obtained by the careful fractionation of Oil of Dill (as opposed to the isolation of apiole from the careful fractionation of Oil of Parsley). Isomerization to isodillapiole, nitration with tetra-nitromethane to give 1 -(2,3-dimethoxy-4,5-methylenedioxyphenyl)-2-nitropropene, and its reduction with LAH in ether to give 2,3-dimethoxy-4,5-methylenedioxyamphetamine hydrochloride (DMMDA-2) proceeded in a precisely analogous manner to the preparation of DMMDA. 

Whether the system formed on mixing oil, water, and surfactant will be an oil-in-water or a water-in-oil emulsion is a central problem in emulsion technology. It was realized very early that the volume fractions of oil and water are not that important and that the type of emulsion is primarily determined by the nature of the surfactant. Simply speaking surfactants with Ns < 1 tend to form oil-in-water emulsions, while surfactants with Ns > 1 are more likely to form water-in-oil emulsions. Two more detailed guiding principles which are used for practical emulsion formulation are Bancroft s rule of thumb and the more quantitative concept of the HLB scale ... 

An oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion in which the oil droplets are very small and the volume fraction of oil is also very small. The emulsion terminology is preferable. See also Hydrosol. 

Up to 400 K (127 °C), the fraction of the component with a long decay time was smaller than the concentration of oil hydrogen in the oil-extended rubber. Apparently, a small fraction of oil molecules shows a molecular mobility comparable with that of EPDM chains. The fraction of these physically trapped oil molecules decreased with an increasing temperature, and... 

The tropical oil crops, coconut and palm, are the most efficient oil-producing crops, with coconut plantations yielding up to 2 tonnes per hectare of oil and the best performing palm plantations from 5-6 tonnes per hectare. By comparison, oil yields of temperate oil crops are typically of the order of 1-2 tonnes per hectare for the best oil-yielding crops (oilseed rape and sunflower). Clearly, Table 2.1 represents only a small fraction of oil-bearing plant species. Many other seed, fruit and nut oils are extracted for food use, however unless they contain fatty acid profiles or fatty acid derivatives of specific industrial interest, total oil-yield, fatty acid yield and cost of the final oil product tends to limit their use in industrial applications on all but a small or localised scale.
