Indirect Joining

Brazing of ceramics is not without difficulty. In contrast to glasses, many metals and alloys bead up on ceramic substrates, that is, the molten metal does not wet the ceramic. To promote wetting, the surface must either first be metallized, or a braze containing a chemically reactive or active metal, often titanium, must be used. Titanium reacts with the ceramic and generally facilitates wetting via the formation of a more metallically bonded reaction product at the interface. 

The work of adhesion of a liquid on a solid may be calculated as the sum of work performed in generating one unit area of liquid surface and one unit area of solid surface minus the original solid—hquid interfacial energy. The result is expressed by Dupres equation  

Substituting the Youngs equation into the expression for work of adhesion yields

Stress fibers are parallel bundles of actin filaments that develop in the cytoplasm of fibroblasts from the cortical actin network in response to mechanical tension. These often bind to the plasma membrane at focal contacts and, through transmembrane linker glycoproteins, to the extracellular matrix. Thus, actin filaments of stress fibers indirectly Join to the inner face of the plasma membrane through molecular assemblies of attachment proteins, which include an actin-capping protein, a-actinin, vinculin, and talin (Small, 1988). 

There are three general categories or types of joining processes. In the first, attachment is mechanical and is achieved through the use of mechanical interlocking of components. The second approach is direct joining, in which components are bonded either by a solid-state process or by fusion. The third approach could be referred to as indirect joining in the sense that an intermediate layer of material, such as an adhesive, cement, or braze, is used to bond two components. 

To address the issues of PPCPs in the environment, we need a profound understanding of the process of how they get into the environment and characterize how the ecosystem that receives those emissions is impacted. We have blindly embraced every PPCP that comes on the market without seriously considering its direct and indirect effects on the ecosystem. We need a better understanding of the risks associated with the use of PPCPs and possibly minimize or even substitute the most risky ones with alternative cousins that may have co-equal or even better efficacy but with less potency in the environment. To attain that, the medical/health care community has to join the growing list of multidisciplinary stakeholders to address issues of PPCPs in the environment. The occurrence of PPCPs and their persistence, impacts, and remedial actions are discussed in subsequent chapters. 

The alcohol in this equation can be a simple one such as methanol or it can be any of the -OH groups of another sugar molecule. For example, two molecules of a-D-glucopyranose can be joined, in an indirect synthesis, to form maltose (Eq. 4-6). Maltose is formed by the hydrolysis of starch and is otherwise not found in nature. There are only three abundant naturally occurring disaccharides important to the metabolism of plants and animals.38 They are lactose (milk), sucrose (green plants), and trehalose (fungi and insects). 

Practical applications of surfactants usually involve some manner of surfactant adsorption on a solid surface. This adsorption is always associated with a decrease in free-surface energy, the magnitude of which must be determined indirectly. The force with which the adsorbate is held on the adsorbent may be roughly classified as physical, ionic, or chemical. Physical adsorption is a weak attraction caused primarily by van der Waals forces. Ionic adsorption occurs between charged sites on the substrate and oppositely charged surfactant ions, and is usually a strong attractive force. The term chemisorption is applied when the adsorbate is joined to the adsorbent by covalent bonds or forces of comparable strength. 

A neural network consists of many processing elements joined together. A typical network consists of a sequence of layers with full or random connections between successive layers. A minimum of two layers is required the input buffer where data is presented and the output layer where the results are held. However, most networks also include intermediate layers called hidden layers. An example of such an ANN network is one used for the indirect determination of the Reid vapor pressure (RVP) and the distillate boiling point (BP) on the basis of 9 operating variables and the past history of their relationships to the variables of interest (Figure 2.56). 

This chapter summarizes the sparse data on 1,5-naphthyridines with substituents that are joined directly or indirectly to the nucleus through a sulfur atom. Included are any tautomeric or nontautomeric 1,5-naphthyridinethiones, extranuclear mercapto-1, 5-naphthyridines, alkylthio-1,5-naphthyridines, bis(l,5-naphthyridinyl) sulfides or disulfides, 1,5-naphthyridine sulfoxides or sulfones, and 1,5-naphthyridinesulfonic acids or their derivatives. However, several categories have no known representatives. 

This chapter should summarize data on 1,6-naphthyridines that bear substituents joined directly or indirectly to the nucleus through a sulfur atom for a list of such derivatives, see Chapter 5. In fact, very few thio-1,6-naphthyridines have been reported. Accordingly, available information is simply listed here. 

This chapter covers 1,8-naphthyridines bearing nitrogenous substituents that are joined directly or indirectly to the nucleus through their nitrogen atoms. 

This chapter covers pyrazines bearing nitrogenous substituents that are joined directly or indirectly to the nucleus through their nitrogen atom exceptionally, any isocyanato- or isothiocyanatopyrazines are relegated to Chapter 8 in order to be close to pyrazinecarbonitriles and the like. 

The membrane should be operated far from the limits set by the thermal stability consideration. Moreover, the maximum operable temperature of an inorganic membrane reactor may very well be dictated by the consideration of other materials in direct or indirect contact with the process stream. Some of these materials are used for the end seal and joining of the membrane and the module housing.

After condensation and separation of ozone from the oxygen stream, the condensate is led to an evaporator. As evaporation of ozone by boiling with indirect heat at atmospheric pressure sometimes leads to explosions, the ozone is evaporated by direct contact with a high boiling liquid such as water. The gaseous ozone joins a stream of carrier gas of selected composition and volume. 

I found out about the importance of good luck and serendipity in research quite early in my research career. In fact, it was serendipity that indirectly got me into research in phosphorus chemistry When I joined Professor L. F. Audrieth s research group at the University of Illinois, he was changing direction on one of his research projects. In the late l930 s an important antibacterial was sulfanilamide. 

One of Boerhaave s predecessors at the University of Leyden, a prominent participant in chemical discussions in the later seventeenth century, was Franciscus de le Boe Sylvius (1614-1672). Sylvius had practiced medicine both at Hanau and Amsterdam before joining the medical faculty at Leyden in 1658. From that position he represented both experimental anatomy and medical chemistry, and he made use of chemical explanations to describe both the nature of disease and the functions of the body. Like van Helmont before him, Sylvius gave his attention to fermentation and concluded that the process of fermentation was essential to the physiological process of digestion. Van Helmont had also suggested that the fermentation that accounted for digestion, although due ultimately to a spiritual force, was also affected by the operation of acid in the body and, indirectly, by the presence of alkali. In that muted moment, a new view of the basic components of the chemical operation of the body was born—the acid/alkali theory. What bubbled up from this theoretical mixture continued to interest chemical writers for several decades thereafter. 

For a Gaussian chain, the probability distributions associated with the vectors joining two points on the chain are always Gaussian moreover, if we know the Bjf we can calculate all mean values by direct (or indirect) application of Wick s theorem (see Appendix A). This theorem thus indicates that for a Gaussian chain, in all cases, we have [see eqn (A.25)]... 

The term thiocinnoline includes any cinnoline bearing a sulfur-containing substituent that is joined directly or indirectly to the nucleus through its sulfur atom cinnolinethiones (tautomeric and nontautomeric), alkylthiocinnolines, alkyl-sulfinylcinnolines, alkylsulfonylcinnolines, cinnolinesulfonic acids (and derivatives), dicinnolinyl sulfides and disulfides, and the hke. So little information on thiocinnolines has emerged from the 1972-2004 literature that this chapter is necessarily brief.
