Especially at low temperatures, the thermal conductivity can often be markedly reduced by even small traces of impurities. This table, for the highest-purity specimens available, should thus be used with caution in apphcations with commercial materials. From Perry, Engineeiing Manual, 3d ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1976. A more detailed table appears as Section 5.5.6 in the Heat Exchanger Design Handbook, Hemisphere Pub. Corp., Washington, DC, 1983. f Parallel to basal plane. 

Each step in dendrimer synthesis occurs independent of the other steps therefore, a dendrimer can take on the characteristics defined by the chemical properties of the monomers used to construct it. Dendrimers thus can have almost limitless properties depending on the methods and materials used for their synthesis. Characteristics can include hydrophilic or hydrophobic regions, the presence of functional groups or reactive groups, metal chelating properties, core/shell dissimilarity, electrical conductivity, hemispherical divergence, biospecific affinity, photoactivity, or the dendrimers can be selectively cleavable at particular points within their structure. 

Another important group of fullerene-related compounds are the carbon nanotubes, the reference compounds of the carbon nano-science. They may be obtained by convenient variations of the preparation procedure mentioned. These are long tubular fullerenes with a concentric shell structure a few nanometres wide and often capped with C60-like hemisphere or faceted tips. They are mechanically very strong and either metallic conducting or semiconducting types have been obtained. 

Phytophthora Rot (Black Pod). Phytophthora rot is prevalent in most of the world s cacao-growing areas and causes losses comparable to those from swollen shoot. Since 1910 (U2) Bordeaux mixture has been used extensively for the control of this disease in several countries of the Western Hemisphere as well as in Africa. Yield increases due to this chemical control of the disease have been put at 200 to 300% in Costa Rica by Fowler (16). Results (UU) from a fungicidal experiment conducted by the Inter-American Cacao Center in Costa Rica showed an increase in production of approximately 50% when Bordeaux mixture was used. 

Among the first BAS discoveries made at Halley Bay was that ozone concentrations above the South Pole fluctuated on a regular basis annually, with concentrations in late spring about 35 percent higher than in winter. "Spring," in this case, refers to austral, or Southern Hemisphere, spring, beginning after about September 15. Further studies conducted over the next two decades consistently confirmed this seasonal variation. 

Storm of Nov. 15-17, 1966. The fission product ratio data by nuclear event for this storm are given in Table VII. The storm occurred 18 days after the reported Chinese fourth nuclear weapon test of about 20 lalotons on Oct. 28, 1966 and 190 days after the Chinese third nuclear explosion of about 200 kilotons on May 9, 1966. Also listed is the series of tests conducted by the French in the Southern Hemisphere (near Tahiti) in the time period between these two Chinese tests. A further possible source of fission products was the vented U.S.S.R. underground nuclear explosion of Oct. 27, 1966 (14). The extent of venting is not reported, and contributions to the storm deposition, if any, would appear as part of the fission products from the China-3 explosion. However, the venting process may result in significant fractionation of the fission products.

Demyelination. The role of myelin in the nervous system is to aid in signal transduction. Myelin acts like an electrical insulator by preventing loss of ion current, and intact myelin is critical for the fast saltatory nerve conduction discussed above. Neurotoxicants that target the synthesis or integrity of PNS myelin may cause muscle weakness, poor coordination, and paralysis. In the brain, white matter tracts that connect neurons within and between hemispheres may be destroyed, in a syndrome known as toxic leukoencephalopathy. A multifocal distribution of brain lesions is reflected in mental deterioration, vision loss, speech disturbances, ataxia (inability to coordinate movements), and paralysis. 

The majority of toxicity test data are generated using species from the northern hemisphere (i.e., Holarctic). For example, 9 of the 12 freshwater fish species used in the ecological risk assessment of atrazine (Solomon et al. 1996) and 27 of the 40 freshwater fish species used in the risk assessment of copper (Brix et al. 2001) are from Holarctic habitats. Relatively few data are available for southern hemisphere species, and consequently risk assessments conducted to protect southern hemisphere ecosystems have to utilize toxicity data obtained using northern hemisphere species (Muschal and Warne 2003). Does this matter Based on the limited data currently available, it would appear not. 

Electrical bulk properties of ionic solids can be rather inhomogeneous (Sec. 3.1). In the following it is shown that microelectrodes are a very useful tool to gain spatially resolved information on the conductivity of such inhomogeneous solids. Let us first consider the case of a spherical microelectrode (radius rme) atop a sample with homogeneous bulk conductivity Ubuik- The bulk resistance R between the microelectrode and a hemispherical counter-electrode of radius rce (Fig. 12a) can be calculated by integrating the infinitesimal resistances of hemispherical shells according to... 

From Eqs. (31) and (32) it can be calculated that 75% of the total resistance between a hemispherical microelectrode and a counter-electrode comes from a hemisphere with a radius of only 2dme and a semi-ellipsoid of a similar size can be defined for a circular microelectrode [49]. For that reason, the measured resistance reflects the electrical properties of a very small sample region. Microelectrodes can therefore serve as local conductivity probes on inhomogeneous solids as long as conductivity gradients occur on a much larger length scale than dme (Va/a dm J)> the conductivity in the 75% hemisphere is almost constant and the local conductivity obtained with circular microelectrodes reads... 

There are three parietal MCA branches anterior, angular and posterior. Anterior parietal or postcentral sulcus artery infarct causes a contralateral sensory loss, with upper limb predominance (pseudo-thalamic syndrome) with involvement of the touch, pain, temperature and vibration senses. Pain and hyperpathia and parietal ataxia can also be present. Conduction aphasia, which is a fluent form of aphasia with disproportionate impairment of repetition, anomia, agraphia and apraxia are present in left hemispheric infarcts while neglect follows in right hemispheric ones.
