Germany divided

Fig. 5.3 Statistical distribution of measured poplar yields in Germany divided into subspecies. Result of a survey of a total of n = 357 yield data of various poplar stands of 2-18 years on 25 different sites in Germany. The high frequency of the lower yields is caused by the high share of young stands, as the yield of poplar grows up to an age of 5-10 years...

Slurry processes, in which a finely divided catalyst is suspended in a liquid medium which is cooled either by means of heat-transfer surfaces in the reactor or by recirculation of the liquid through external heat exchangers, have been under investigation for this purpose in Germany, the United States, and the United Kingdom (C12, F3, HI, K5, K7, K8, K12). 

In the other method, particularly popular in Germany, the ammonium nitrate is replaced by an equimolar mixture of ammonium chloride and potassium or sodium nitrate. The reaction between the salts, which gives potassium or sodium chloride and ammonium nitrate or its decomposition products, is relatively slow and does not occur to a marked extent when the explosive is fired in an unconfined condition. This method of working is particularly effective in reducing the power of an explosive in the unconfined condition. Used alone it has not proved popular in Britain, because of the low power which tends to be developed under practical firing conditions. Moreover, the finely divided sodium chloride smoke which is produced by the explosive tends to be unpleasant for the miners. 

Between visits to friends around the city, I had plenty of time to ponder what General Clay s reception would be. My thoughts went back to July of 1946 when I had joined Pauley in Paris on his third mission. We had been directed to look over conditions in Germany, but President Truman had also instructed us to attend the Paris Conference. Pauley had divided his staff. Luther Gulick (one of Truman s advisors on reorganizing the executive branch), Pauley, and I checked in at the Prince de Galles Hotel in Paris. The rest of the staff, under Martin Bennett, went on to Berlin. 

Another important aspect from a practical point of view is the entire installation process. During an installation many different working groups come together and have contact via more or less specified interfaces. In Germany, the installation activities are usually divided into three sectors ... 

Prior to 1990, Germany was divided into West Germany (FRG) and East Germany (GDR). 

Ever since Lavoisier had published his list of thirty-three elements in 1789, chemists had been seeking for ways to order and classify them. Lavoisier divided the elements into gases, non-metals, metals, and earths (which included the compounds lime and magnesia). In 1829, by which time the list had expanded somewhat, Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner in Germany noticed that many elements could be grouped into threes ( triads ) whose members... 

At present, permitted explosives in Germany are divided into 3 classes with regard to their safety in the presence of methane and coal-dust [80, 81].

In research at the Institute of Radiochemistry, Karlsruhe. West Germany during the early 1970s, investigators prepared alloys of americium with platinum, palladium, and indium. These alloys were prepared by hydrogen reduction of the americium oxide in the presence of finely divided noble metals according to ... 

In a follow-up to the Zober et al. (1990) study, the cohort of workers exposed at the BASF AG facility in Germany, was followed through 1992 (Ott and Zober 1996). The workers were divided into 3 subcohorts based on half-life extrapolated 2,3,7,8-TCDD body burdens of <0.01 g/kg body weight, 0.1-0.99 g/kg, and 1 g/kg. 2,3,7,8-TCDD half-lives were estimated from repeated blood samples from 29 people with initial serum lipid 2,3,7,8-TCDD levels of 29-553 pg/g. The mean half-life was 5.8 years, but the half-life... 

Another method of acid amelioration, used to avoid water amelioration, is the addition of calcium salts for the purpose of substituting calcium for potassium ions. The resulting calcium bitartrate salts, being less soluble, increase the precipitation of bitartrate. This raises technical problems, one being that if the malo-lactic fermentation should take place subsequently, the wine may contain insufficient acidity of any kind. Another is that calcium tartrate precipitates slowly and in more finely divided form, often causing persistent hazes that are hard to remove. Often, too, this precipitation is delayed, leading to the presumption that the wine is tartrate stable. Only after it is bottled, the brilliant and supposedly stable wine may develop a delayed calcium tartrate haze and even a deposit. The calcium salt method in a refined form is used considerably in Germany but rarely here. 

The primary sources of human exposure to PCDD/Fs were outlined in the introduction. For North America and Western Europe, uptake of these compounds is about equally divided between dairy, meat and fish products (see Table 1). The levels in the diet are decreasing in some countries. The most recent estimates for Germany suggest an intake of 55-70 pg TEQ d 1 for adults.76...
