Lead Interdependencies

Many organizations only concentrate on the product quality dimension, but the three are interrelated and interdependent. Deterioration in one leads to a deterioration in the others, perhaps not immediately but eventually. 

We shall first describe the coagulation pathway leading to the formation of fibrin. Then we shall briefly describe some aspects of the involvement of platelets and blood vessel walls in the overall process. This separation of clotting factors and platelets is artificial, since both play intimate and often mutually interdependent roles in hemostasis and thrombosis, but it facifitates description of the overall processes involved. 

In a fluidized bed reactor, entrained particles leaving in a dilute phase stream are conventionally and desirably either partially or wholly condensed into a bulk stream and returned to the bed via a centrifugally driven cyclone system. At equilibrium, or when steady state operation is attained, any particle loss rate from the cyclones, as well as the remaining bed particle size distribution, are functions of (a) the rate of any particle attrition within the system and (b) the smallest particle size that the cyclone system was designed to completely collect (i.e., with 100% efficiency), or conversely the largest size which the system cannot recover. These two functions result in an interdependency between loss rate and bed particle size distribution, eventually leading to an equilibrium state (Zenz Smith, 1972 Zenz, 1981 Zenz Kelleher, 1980). 

In general, the effects of the process variables on electrocodeposition are often interdependent and therefore, are ill understood. Often a slight change of one variable can sometimes lead to a dramatic change in the amount of particle incorporation. For specific systems, the current density at which maximum incorporation occurs seems to be related to a change in the slope of the current-potential relation-... 

The techniques of destructive analysis may lead to reliable analytical results only if the analytical process is correctly planned, by taking into account the interdependence of all the operational parameters of the process. 

The serendipitous discovery of the antitumor activity of cisplatin opened a huge field of research, leading to significant advances and successes in cancer chemotherapy [181]. Cisplatin and its analogues are reactive complexes that exhibit pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and toxicological behaviors so closely interdependent as to be all but impossible to untangle. Our focus here is and remains metabolism, but some considerations regarding activity and toxicity are also addressed. 

A further problem lies in the combination of the individual extrapolation factors to form a total extrapolation factor. The type of combination results from the dependence or independence of the individual sub-factors. According to current knowledge, multiplicative combination of the individual factors is assumed. Substance-specific knowledge about the interdependencies among the sub-factors may lead to modification, i.e., a reduction of the total extrapolation factor. 

The two factors are seldom completely independent most times they are interdependent. A typical example is the effect of particle size. A decrease in particle size produces an increase in surface area at constant amount of material. At the same time, as the particle size decreases the surface-to-volume ratio increases, which may lead to modifications of the electronic properties of surface atoms. 

The political justification for transition metal cluster chemistry is the assumption that clusters are models in which metallic properties may be more easily studied than in the metals themselves. These properties include electronic phenomena such as color and conductivities as well as surface phenomena, such as atom arrangements and catalytic activities. Thus, there are two main lines of cluster research. The more academic line leads to the search for new types of clusters and their structure and bonding, whereas the more practical line leads to the investigation of reactivities with the hope that clusters may open catalytic pathways that neither plain metals nor mononuclear catalysts can provide. The interdependence of both lines is obvious. 

The presence of electrons in d orbitals, which may be involved in back donation, is not a prerequisite for the stabilisation of an imine by co-ordination some imines are stabilised by co-ordination to lead(n). The many factors involved (charge on metal, charge on ligand, back-donation, configuration of ligand, stabilisation of products, etc.) are interdependent and finely balanced. The formation of a chelated imine complex is an important factor, but once again examples are known in which chelated ligands are either activated or deactivated towards hydrolysis. 

For epoxy networks modified by liquid reactive rubbers, it is not so easy to discuss these parameters separately, because they are interdependent. For example, an increase in the acrylonitrile content of the carboxy-termi-nated butadiene acrylonitrile rubber (CTBN) induces a size reduction of the rubbery domains but also a higher miscibility with the epoxy-rich phase, leading to a higher amount remaining dissolved in the matrix at the end of cure (Chapter 8). It is not possible to separate the influence of these two effects on toughness. 

Does an artist need a chemist Does a chemist need an artist Do they have anything in common Both artists and chemists make careful observations. Then a chemist forms a hypothesis tests the hypothesis using a control and a test subject, taking care to have only one variable and draws a conclusion based on test data results. The chemist then makes interpretations that may lead to new hypotheses and new controlled experiments. The artist makes interpretations also, but these usually come directly from observations. Artists may try many interpretations of observations until a satisfying work is created. The chemist needs the artist s creativity when making interpretations of the experimental data. The artist needs the chemist to test and formulate new and useful materials. The work of the artist and the work of the chemist are interdependent. They need each other. 

In long-term evolutionary scales, humans now have the abilities to intervene rapidly in this interdependent relationship and alter the stability of the rates of metabolism of organic matter. For example, reduction of ozone in the stratosphere and associated increased UV irradiance could lead to accelerated photolytic degradation of macromolecules of DOM by both abiotic and biotic pathways to C02. In addition, the photolytic enhancement of substrates for bacterial metabolism by UV photolysis can result in accelerated rates of biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and stimulated...
