Fuji Peel-Apart Film FP-100. In 1984 Fuji introduced FP-lOO, a peel-apart instant color film rated at ISO 100. The FP-lOO system uses a dye-release process similar to that used in the Fuji integral films. Figure 16b is a schematic cross section of FP-100, and Figure 11b (on the colored plate) is a micrograph of the unprocessed film in cross section. The negative stmcture includes a spacer layer between the red-sensitive layer and the cyan dye-releaser layer that it controls, similar to that shown in the FI-800 stmcture, but there are no spacers between the other emulsions and corresponding dye-releaser layers. 

The induction time is the time involved between the instant where the sample reaches its initial temperature and the instant where the reaction rate reaches its maximum. In practice, two types of induction times must be considered the isothermal and the adiabatic. The isothermal induction time is the time a reaction takes to reach its maximum rate under isothermal conditions. It can typically be measured by DSC or DTA. This assumes that the heat release rate can be removed by an appropriate heat exchange system. Since the induction time is the result of a reaction producing the catalyst, the isothermal induction time is an exponential function of temperature. Thus, a plot of its natural logarithm, as a function of the inverse absolute temperature, delivers a straight line. The adiabatic induction time corresponds to the time to maximum rate under adiabatic conditions (TMRJ). It can be measured by adiabatic calorimetry or calculated from kinetic data. This time is valid if the temperature is left increasing at the instantaneous heat release rate. In general, adiabatic induction time is shorter than isothermal induction time. 

To talk about a change, dq, in heat added to a thermodynamic system and to try and equate it to (measure quantities of heat supplied or released during a process. Addition (or release) of an inftnitesmally small amount of heat is denoted by Sq. 

The gasiflcation process is particularly effective for the treatment of plastics. The reducing atmosphere and the presence of hydrogen leads to an instant breakdown of the molecular structure of the plastic to form CO and H2 while any halogen compounds are released for capture in the gas clean-up system [72]. 

With the final release of 21 CFR Part 11 and its risk assessment interpretation many laboratories have converted to electronic standard operating systems (SOPs), allowing lab workers to have instant access to SOPs while easily controlling revisions and modified versions. At the same time, LIMS that can collect and evaluate data have grown in sophistication and reliability even as they have fallen in price most GLP labs have or are considering LIMS. Increasingly, those LIMS add another level of automation sophistication. 

Reger and Muinov investigated the volatile products released from PMMA, PS, and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a function of load (13). They reported that volatile products were released from the instant that the load was applied with a sharp increase at fracture. The curve of monomer evolution as a function of stress had the same shape as a creep curve an observation they interpret as direct proof that the chain rupture process begins the moment the load is applied. Their system could detect as little as 10 molecules/sec, which according to the authors is several orders of magnitude more sensitive than ESR. In addition to noting that breakdown occurs at the instant the load is applied, they studied the stepwise addition of a load. From both PMMA and PS, they observed an abrupt increase in monomer, measured as the height of the parent molecular ion, which quickly reached a steady-state value (Kt). The volatile concentration was an exponential function of stress, i.e. ... 

The present case study deals with the risk assessment and management due a possible toxic release fiwm a chemical plant, which is expected to cause fatalities in a nearby population (Fig. 1). The accidental scenario considered in this study is the catastrophic rupture of a tank containing a gaseous toxic industrial chemical (TIC), caused by the failure of the pressure control system of the tank. After the rupture, a toxic cloud is formed instantly and dragged by the wind over the local population.
