Growth studies

The resistance to nucleation is associated with the surface energy of forming small clusters. Once beyond a critical size, the growth proceeds with the considerable driving force due to the supersaturation or subcooling. It is the definition of this critical nucleus size that has consumed much theoretical and experimental research. We present a brief description of the classic nucleation theory along with some examples of crystal nucleation and growth studies. 

Other auxin-like herbicides (2,48) include the chlorobenzoic acids, eg, dicamba and chloramben, and miscellaneous compounds such as picloram, a substituted picolinic acid, and naptalam (see Table 1). Naptalam is not halogenated and is reported to function as an antiauxin, competitively blocking lAA action (199). TIBA is an antiauxin used in receptor site and other plant growth studies at the molecular level (201). Diclofop-methyl and diclofop are also potent, rapid inhibitors of auxin-stimulated response in monocots (93,94). Diclofop is reported to act as a proton ionophore, dissipating cell membrane potential and perturbing membrane functions. 

Physical Factors. Unsatuiated elastomers must be stretched for ozone cracking to occur. Elongations of 3—5% are generally sufficient. Crack growth studies (10—18) have shown that some minimum force, called the critical stress, rather than a minimum elongation is required for cracking to occur. Critical stress values are neady the same for most unsaturated mbbers. However, polychloroprene has a higher critical stress value than other diene mbbers, consistent with its better ozone resistance. It has been found that temperature, plasticization, and ozone concentration have httie effect on critical stress values. 

The principal applications of REELS are thin-film growth studies and gas-surface reactions in the few-monolayer regime when chemical state information is required. In its high spatial resolution mode it has been used to detect submicron metal hydride phases and to characterize surface segregation and difRision as a function of grain boundary orientation. REELS is not nearly as commonly used as AES orXPS.

Calcium phosphate precipitation may also be involved in the fixation of phosphate fertilizer in soils. Studies of the uptake of phosphate on calcium carbonate surfaces at low phosphate concentrations typical of those in soils, reveal that the threshold concentration for the precipitation of the calcium phosphate phases from solution is considerably increased in the pH range 8.5 -9.0 (3). It was concluded that the presence of carbonate ion from the calcite inhibits the nucleation of calcium phosphate phases under these conditions. A recent study of the seeded crystal growth of calcite from metastable supersaturated solutions of calcium carbonate, has shown that the presence of orthophosphate ion at a concentration as low as 10-6 mol L" and a pH of 8.5 has a remarkable inhibiting influence on the rate of crystallization (4). A seeded growth study of the influence of carbonate on hydroxyapatite crystallization has also shown an appreciable inhibiting influence of carbonate ion.(5). 

Microbial growth studies also gave an important clue to the intracellular role of vitamin B12 when it was observed that the presence of thymidine overcame the need for B12 in the culture medium of Lactobacillus lactis dorner, suggesting B12 was required for the biosynthesis of thymidine.

Zang et al. developed a peptide-based polyurethane scaffold for tissue engineering. LDI was reacted with glycerol and upon reaction with water produced a porous sponge due to liberation of CO2. Initial cell growth studies with rabbit bone marrow stromal cells showed that the polymer supported cell growth.

The reader should be warned that the above conceptual picture has little supporting evidence from hydrate growth experiments, other than the few single crystal growth studies in Section 3.2.2.1. Nevertheless, it is hoped that such a conceptual picture can promote some understanding of the phenomena involved, if only to serve as a basis for improvement. 

From such single crystal growth studies it is hypothesized that the (111) plane in sll grows slowest because it contains a predominance of hexagonal faces relative...
