Herm/es/Djnamit JS obe/Process. On a worldwide basis, the Hercules Inc./Dynamit Nobel AG process is the dorninant technology for the production of dimethyl terephthalate the chemistry was patented in the 1950s (67—69). Modifications in commercial practice have occurred over the years, with several variations being practiced commercially (70—72). The reaction to dimethyl terephthalate involves four steps, which alternate between liquid-phase oxidation and liquid-phase esterification. Two reactors are used. Eirst, -xylene is oxidized with air to -toluic acid in the oxidation reactor, and the contents are then sent to the second reactor for esterification with methanol to methyl -toluate. The toluate is isolated by distillation and returned to the first reactor where it is further oxidized to monomethyl terephthalate, which is then esterified in the second reactor to dimethyl terephthalate. 

Newly developed alloys have improved properties in many aspects over traditional compositions for interconnect applications. The remaining issues that were discussed in the previous sections, however, require further materials modification and optimization for satisfactory durability and lifetime performance. One approach that has proven to be effective is surface modification of metallic interconnects by application of a protection layer to improve surface and electrical stability, to modify compatibility with adjacent components, and also to mitigate or prevent Cr volatility. It is particularly important on the cathode side due to the oxidizing environment and the susceptibility of SOFC cathodes to chromium poisoning. 

Recent studies have shown increased glutathionylation of specific proteins in AD patients compared with control subjects [Newman et al., 2007], The exact function of this reversible oxidative modification is unknown. Further studies investigating the specific in vivo effects of. S -glutathionylation in oxidative stress are important to determining the role of S -glutathionylation in the AD brain and neurodegenerative disorders. 

Reactions 11,13) as well as recycling the haem proteins for further oxidative events. The lipid peroxyl radicals formed during the modification of the polyunsaturated fatty acid sidechains of lipids, can amplify lipid peroxidation, oxidise cholesterol and can react with proteins, impairing the functions of critical enzyme and receptor systems ... 

Oxidative stress is now widely believed to be the major mechanism of athero-genesis. Interestingly, it was demonstrated 47 years ago that atheromatous plaques contain abundant lipoperoxides and other lipid peroxidation products (G9). More recently, our understanding of this process was advanced when evidence was provided for significant free radical activity and the lipid oxidative modification hypothesis was presented (P10). A subsequent study provided further evidence that oxidatively modified low-density lipoproteins (LDL) play a major role in the formation of the fatty streak, the earliest visible atherosclerotic lesion, and the subsequent production of the atheroscelrotic plaque (S27). The proposed sequence, which involves arterial endothelial and smooth muscle cells, as well as mono-cytes/macrophages, is as follows (Ql, S25). 

For longer treatment times (> 0.7 s) it has been shown (2) with the help of complementary surface techniques such as ISS (outermost layer sensitivity), Static SIMS (0.1-1 nm of information depth) and XPS (5 nm information depth), that the topmost surface layer is highly oxidized and that further chemical modifications occur beneath. The incorporation of both nitrogen and oxygen after a N2 plasma treatment have been evidenced by XPS whereas ISS did not reveal any trace of nitrogen (2). 

In those catalysts, the metal species were deposited in the form of salts or carbonyl clusters. Further, the modifications of the oxide surface with the multinuclear cobalt carbonyl cluster Co3(CO)9—CR (R = CH3 or Ph) have been reported (68).
