Growth features

Among the wide choice of reactor designs, the biofilm reactor is one of the best suited for azo-dye conversion as it meets two important process requisites. The first is related to the hindered growth feature of bacterial metabolism under anaerobic conditions. The second is related to the necessity to increase cell densities (see previous section) with respect to those commonly harvested in liquid broths [55, 56]. Except for bacteria that forms aggregates spontaneously, immobilization of cells on granular carriers and membrane reactor technology are the two common pathways to achieve high-density confined cell cultures in either discontinuous or flow reactors. 

In many cases, identical insertions were found in more than one animal of the same group (Fig. 2). Since pooled bone marrow was used in each case for transplantation (Fig. 1), those identical insertions reflect the dominant growth features of the identified clone. Overall, a total of 43 different insertion sites from all three groups were identified in the first cohort, 34 in the second cohort. 

In general, cells transfected with DNA that contains transforming genes, derived from oncogenic viruses, lose the growth feature called contact inhibition, which limits their growth and proliferation. These transfectants can be visualized under the microscope and isolated as colonies. 

The Brazil twins just discussed are clearly growth features. However, very narrow ( 10 nm wide) Brazil twin lamellae on (0001) have been produced experimentally by very high shear stresses on (0001) and examined by TEM by McLaren et al. (1967). These lamellae give rise to overlapping a-boundaries (see Section 5.3.4), so the resulting fringe patterns in BF are symmetrical for g = lOTO and asymmetrical for g = lOTl, as shown in Figure 8.6. 

EXCESS results in a normally proportioned giant when overproduction occurs in childhood. Overproduction in an adult results tn acromegaly. Such individuals have abnormally proportioned growth features, especially enlarged hands, feet and jaw. There may be hyperglycemia, as growth hormone is also involved in glucose metabolism.

Rare two-phase fluid inclusions e found in anker-ite and in calcite (Fig. 6H). They occur as isolated inclusions or in groups of a few inclusions with a random distribution. Owing to the scarcity of inclusions and to the lack of visible intracrystalline growth features in the carbonate cements, relationships between fluid inclusions and carbonate growth could not be evaluated. As a result, the primary or secondary origin of the inclusions studied cannot be ascertained. Microthermometric measurements are summarized in Table 2 and Fig. 7.

Pyrolitic carbons can be deposited onto finished implants from hydrocarbon gas in a fluidized bed at a controlled temperature and pressure. The anisotropy, density, crystallite size and structure of the deposited carbon can be controlled by temperature, composition of the fluidized gas, the bed geometry, and the residence time (velocity) of the gas molecules in the bed. The microstructure of deposited carbon should be highly controlled, since the formation of growth features associated with uneven crystallization...
