Impoverishment

In the dry-out mode of concentration, the steam blanket causes the tube to become superheated, so that the temperature rises in proportion. In the second mode of concentration, i.e. at crevices, it arises initially because the confined space impedes coolant ingress so that the liquid component is impoverished, and insoluble species are precipitated. The deposit causes a rise in temperature and steam blanketing follows, as described above. 

Diffusion overpotential. When high current densities j exist at electrodes (at the boundary to the electrolyte), an impoverishment of the reacting substances is possible. In this case the reaction kinetics are determined only by diffusion processes through this zone, the so-called Nernst layer. Without dealing with the derivation in detail, the following formula is obtained for the diffusion overpotential that occurs (with as the maximum current density) ... 

Diffusion control can be particularly important in reactions in which two aromatic substances of differing reactivity are reacting with a deficiency of reagent. The more reactive aromatic will react first and since diffusion is slow compared with the rate of reaction it becomes impoverished in the reaction zone, and ensuing reaction will occur mainly with the less reactive aromatic which is now in large excess. The observed relative reaction rate then comes out to be less than it would otherwise be. It follows that this may also be true even when the aromatics are reacting at considerably less than the encounter rate. 

This paper is dedicated to the hundreds of millions of impoverished and exploited people of the forests in the developing world. Most will have little hope or opportunity to escape the misery of poverty unless the sociopolitical constraints that result in both overexploitation of natural resources and continued human suffering are overcome. This includes an increased awareness, compassion and action from the citizens, governments, and businesses of developed countries. We wish to thank Bev Clark, Dodi Reesman and Sheila Till for assistance with manuscript preparation and Drs. L. F. DeBano, D. A. Perry and one anonymous reviewer for helpful reviews of this manuscript. 

Counterexamples teach a lesson that these exaggerations of aquatic biological activity are highly idiosyncratic and depend on the fluxes of nutrients, the types of phytoplankton ecosystems that are involved, and - most importantly - the local and regional circulations of the aquatic system. For example, the Mediterranean Sea is landlocked and has many large pollution sources, but the large flux of nutrient-poor ("impoverished") water from the Atlantic... 

Abstract In most of the world s watercourses, dramatic modifications have occurred as a consequence of intensive use by human societies. The simplification of the channel network and the alteration of water fluxes have an impact upon the capacity of fluvial systems to recover from disturbances, because of their irreversible consequences. However, human impacts on river hydrology, such as those that derive from regulating their flow or by affecting their channel geomorphology, affect the functional organisation of streams, as well as the ecosystem services that derive from them, and lead to the simplification and impoverishment of these ecosystems. 

Patients requiring detoxification from high or supratherapeutic dosages of benzodiazepines constitute a smaller number of patients, but they are at greater risk for life-threatening discontinuation symptoms, such as seizures, delirium, and psychoses. There has been more experience with inpatient detoxification in this group, but outpatient detoxification is possible if conducted slowly (5% reduction in dose per week), with frequent contact, and in the context of a therapeutic alliance with the patient. Often, such an alliance proves unworkable because the patient s impoverished control results in supplementation from outside sources or early exhaustion of prescribed supplies meant to be tapered. In these cases, as in the cases of patients with a history of seizures, delirium, or psychoses during previous detoxification attempts, inpatient detoxification is indicated. 

The austenitic stainless steels that are not stabilized or that are not of the extra-low-carbon types, when heated in the temperature range of 450 to 843°C (850 to 1,550°F), have chromium-rich compounds (chromium carbides) precipitated in the grain boundaries. This causes grain-boundary impoverishment of chromium and makes the affected metal susceptible to intergranular corrosion in many environments. Hot nitric acid is one environment which causes severe... 

The galena-bearing froth is removed from the top and the impoverished tailing is drawn away from the bottom of the cell. A device in which all these processes take place is called a flotation cell (Figure 2.20). 

In western and northwestern England, Ireland, Scotland, and Norway and in the Hebrides and Orkney Islands, peasants neglected their farms and herds three months of the year to cut seaweed and haul it ashore. Instead of using it to manure their fields or overwinter their cattle, they dried and burned the seaweed, boiled the ashes, evaporated the liquid, and earned pennies for their pains. The result, called kelp, was only 5 to 8 percent sodium and potassium carbonate. Kelp made big landowners wealthy, but it impoverished peasant farmers. 

Electrode reactions are intrinsically surface reactions, and cause changes in the electrolyte composition near the surface. A thin layer, impoverished in the reacting species, develops at the electrode surface, and the ions or molecules move across this layer by diffusion down the concentration gradients. Ions move also under the influence of the applied electric field that is, they migrate.

In semi-arid areas, deflation is less important, except in places where the sparse vegetation is removed by Man. The intensification of deflation processes in these parts of the world can therefore, to a large extent, be attributed to Man. It has been estimated that between 20 and 50% of the soils in Iraq are impoverished in fine elements by wind action. In North China wind deflation has tremendously increased between 1975 and 1985. 

If the reaction mixture is impoverished in oxygen, it may be assumed, in place of (78), that... 

In this case, as is evident from (76), we have the first order for CO and order 0.5 for 02. This result has been obtained by Steinbach on Co304 specimens. Note that in the case of a mixture impoverished in oxygen the same zero order for CO and the first order for 02 can be obtained, as has been observed by Doerfler and Hauffe (57). This result is obtained, as can be shown, in the case where oxygen is adsorbed in the form of 02 molecules that do not dissociate into atoms upon adsorption (this case has not been considered above). 

A large drug manufacturer has decided to study this molecule and formulate it into a drug if it proves to be safe and effective. As an aside, the San Bushmen of the Kalahari desert are currently impoverished and oppressed. If P57 becomes a money-making drug in developed countries, it may mean a better life for people of this tribe, since they will receive royalties (money) when the drug is sold. This drug is very early in the research process and it will be several years before it could be available in the United States. 

In the Fal estuary, England, long-term metal pollution over the past 120 years has resulted in zinc sediment levels between 679 and 1780 mg/kg DW, producing benthic communities that favor zinc-tolerant organisms, such as oysters and nereid polychaetes, and a general impoverishment of mussels, cockles, other polychaetes, and gastropods (Bryan et al. 1987). 

Rare earth elements patterns show differences in Eu anomalies for the samples studied from Boca del Tordo (Fig. 5) that can be attributed to the mix of felsic and mafic sources. This variation can also be explained due to the impoverishment of feldspars due to weathering (Kasper-Zubillaga etal. 2008b). Also Boca del...
