Rotogravure Inks. Since there are no mbber or plastic components in contact with the solvents contained in gravure ink formulations, it is permissible to use solvents such as ketones and aromatic hydrocarbons which cannot be tolerated in flexo inks. This provides the gravure ink formulator with much greater latitude in regard to binder selection. In other respects the compositions generally are similar. [Pg.251]

In the mid-latitude region depicted in Fig. 7-5, the motion is characterized by large-scale eddy transport." Here the "eddies" are recognizable as ordinary high- and low-pressure weather systems, typically about 10 km in horizontal dimension. These eddies actually mix air from the polar regions with air from nearer the equator. At times, air parcels with different water content, different chemical composition and different thermodynamic characteristics are brought into contact. When cold dry air is mixed with warm moist air, clouds and precipitation occur. A frontal system is said to exist. Two such frontal systems are depicted in Fig. 7-5 (heavy lines in the midwest and southeast). [Pg.140]

The global atmospheric circulation acts as an enormous filtration system, which depletes high-latitude precipitation of heavy isotope-bearing water molecules. Because of this system, measurements of the stable isotopic composition of the ice sheets and of ocean-floor sediments reveal very important paleo-environmental information (see Sections 18.2.2,18.3.2, and 18.3.3). Here we examine this filtration system at a physical level. This system was first understood by a great Danish geochemist named Willi Dansgaard (Dansgaard, 1964). [Pg.471]

Equilibrium Compositions for Single Reactions. We turn now to the problem of calculating the equilibrium composition for a single, homogeneous reaction. The most direct way of estimating equilibrium compositions is by simulating the reaction. Set the desired initial conditions and simulate an isothermal, constant-pressure, batch reaction. If the simulation is accurate, a real reaction could follow the same trajectory of composition versus time to approach equilibrium, but an accurate simulation is unnecessary. The solution can use the method of false transients. The rate equation must have a functional form consistent with the functional form of K,i,ermo> e.g., Equation (7.38). The time scale is unimportant and even the functional forms for the forward and reverse reactions have some latitude, as will be illustrated in the following example. [Pg.240]

We have considerable latitude when it comes to choosing the chemical composition of rubber toughened polystyrene. Suitable unsaturated rubbers include styrene-butadiene copolymers, cis 1,4 polybutadiene, and ethylene-propylene-diene copolymers. Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene is a more complex type of block copolymer. It is made by swelling polybutadiene with styrene and acrylonitrile, then initiating copolymerization. This typically takes place in an emulsion polymerization process. [Pg.336]

Heated meteoric waters are a major constituent of ore-forming fluids in many ore deposits and may become dominant during the latest stages of ore deposition. The latter has been documented for many porphyry skam-type deposits. The isotopic variations observed for several Tertiary North American deposits vary systematic with latitude and, hence, palaeo-meteoric water composition (Sheppard et al. 1971). The ore-forming fluid has commonly been shifted in 0-isotope composition from its meteoric 5 0-value to higher 0 contents through water-rock interaction. Meteoric waters may become dominant in epithermal gold deposits and other vein and replacement deposits. [Pg.126]

Although formation waters show a wide range in isotopic composition, waters within a sedimentary basin are usually isotopically distinct. As is the case with surface meteoric waters, there is a general decrease in isotopic composition from low to high latitude settings (Fig. 3.20). Displacements of 5D and 8 0-values from the Meteoric Water Line (MWL) are very often correlated with salinity the most depleted waters in D and O are usually the least saline, fluids most distant from the MWL tend to be the most saline. [Pg.147]

One of the most important groups of all living matter is marine phytoplankton. Natural oceanic phytoplankton populations vary in 8 C-value by about 15%c (Sackett et al. 1973 Wong and Sackett 1978). Rau et al. (1982) demonstrated that different latitudinal trends in the carbon isotope composition of plankton exist between the northern and the southern oceans south of the equator the correlation between latitude and plankton C-content is significant, whereas a much weaker relationship exists in the northern oceans. [Pg.178]

Darwin states that, in the Southern hemisphere, peat does not ocour nearer to the equator than the latitude of 45° that the composition there met with results from the decomposition of the plants and grasses. The circumstenco that no mosses, so far as can he ascertained by strict examination, enter into the species of peat found in South America, favors this view. [Pg.61]

Seasonal Variation and the Influence of Temperature. In temperate latitudes, rather characteristic seasonal variations in milk composition are commonly observed. Both fat and solids-not-fat contents are lower in summer than in winter. In the survey by Overman (1945) of individual cows at the University of Illinois, monthly extremes for fat were 4.24 and 3.81% in January and August and for protein were 3.61 and 3.37% in January and July, respectively. Nickerson (1960) found significant seasonal differences in 18 components of bulk milks from six areas in California. Seasonal differences in fat and protein contents were similar to those observed in Illinois. Seasonal variations in milk composition could conceivably be caused by differences in temper-... [Pg.28]

Abstract. A multi-wavelength, multi-sensor Look-Up-Table (LUT) algorithm has been developed to retrieve information about stratospheric aerosols from satellite-based observations of particulate extinction. Specifically, the LUT algorithm combines extinction measurements from SAGE n with similar measurements from the CLAES instrument, and uses the composite spectra in month-latitude-altitude bins to retrieve values and uncertainties of particle effective radius, surface area, volume and size distribution width. [Pg.349]
