High-density

The sonic tool measures the time taken for a sound wave to pass through the formation. Sound waves travel in high density (i.e. low porosity) formation faster than in low density (high porosity) formation. The porosity can be determined by measuring the transit time for the sound wave to travel between a transmitter and receiver, provided the rock matrix and fluid are known. 

Quantitative Radionuclide Tomography for High Density Materials. 

In world practice RCT application is considered to the decision of control of the high density objects. The particular feature of RCT is the possibility of the reception of the quantitative information. Besides, the absence of characteristic to X-ray CT result distortions, which are caused by variation of an average value of polychromatic radiation energy, when it passes through an article, promotes the increase of accuracy characteristics of radionuclide CT... 

The actuality of researches of multi-layer objects with high density of materials for airspace technics is substantiate by several firms. The distribution of the heavier in longerons and elements of the screw of the helicopter was determined with the help of RCT. In the filler made of graphite or rubbers the layers of heavier from leaden alloys and the air stratification 1 up to 5 mm wide are revealed with the ratio signal / noise more than 3, even at presence of an external steel cover. 

In all spent researches the received ratio signal / noise and sensitivity for revealed defects, distribution of material density and the weights of high density components (tungsten, lead, uranium) are well agreed with results of alternate physics-chemical methods of analyses... 

Statistical mechanical theory and computer simulations provide a link between the equation of state and the interatomic potential energy functions. A fluid-solid transition at high density has been inferred from computer simulations of hard spheres. A vapour-liquid phase transition also appears when an attractive component is present hr the interatomic potential (e.g. atoms interacting tlirough a Leimard-Jones potential) provided the temperature lies below T, the critical temperature for this transition. This is illustrated in figure A2.3.2 where the critical point is a point of inflexion of tire critical isothemr in the P - Vplane. 

Although the transition to difhision control is satisfactorily described in such an approach, even for these apparently simple elementary reactions the situation in reality appears to be more complex due to the participation of weakly bonding or repulsive electronic states which may become increasingly coupled as the bath gas density increases. These processes manifest tliemselves in iodine atom and bromine atom recombination in some bath gases at high densities where marked deviations from TronnaF behaviour are observed [3, 4]. In particular, it is found that the transition from Lto is significantly broader than...

Figure B3.3.10. Contour plots of the free energy landscape associated with crystal niicleation for spherical particles with short-range attractions. The axes represent the number of atoms identifiable as belonging to a high-density cluster, and as being in a crystalline environment, respectively, (a) State point significantly below the metastable critical temperature. The niicleation pathway involves simple growth of a crystalline nucleus, (b) State point at the metastable critical temperature. The niicleation pathway is significantly curved, and the initial nucleus is liqiiidlike rather than crystalline. Thanks are due to D Frenkel and P R ten Wolde for this figure. For fiirther details see [189].

Cholesterol is biosynthesized in the liver trans ported throughout the body to be used in a va riety of ways and returned to the liver where it serves as the biosynthetic precursor to other steroids But cholesterol is a lipid and isn t soluble in water How can it move through the blood if it doesn t dis solve in if The answer is that it doesn t dissolve but IS instead carried through the blood and tissues as part of a lipoprotein (lipid + protein = lipoprotein) The proteins that carry cholesterol from the liver are called low density lipoproteins or LDLs those that return it to the liver are the high-density lipoproteins or HDLs If too much cholesterol is being transported by LDL or too little by HDL the extra cholesterol builds up on the walls of the arteries caus mg atherosclerosis A thorough physical examination nowadays measures not only total cholesterol con centration but also the distribution between LDL and HDL cholesterol An elevated level of LDL cholesterol IS a risk factor for heart disease LDL cholesterol is bad cholesterol HDLs on the other hand remove excess cholesterol and are protective HDL cholesterol IS good cholesterol...
