Frequently wall thicknesses are increased to meet the planned service life, resulting in a considerable increase in the materials used. This not only raises installation and transport costs but also the weight, which makes construction more difficult. 

In general, arterial thrombi are platelet-rich ( white clots ) and form at ruptured atherosclerotic plaques, leading to intraluminal occlusion of arteries that can result in end-organ injury (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke). In contrast, venous thrombi consist mainly of fibrin and red blood cells ( red clots ), and usually form in low-flow veins of the limbs, producing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) the major threat to life results when lower extremity (and, occasionally, upper extremity) venous thrombi embolize via the right heart chambers into the pulmonary arteries, i.e., pulmonary embolism (PE). 

Another characteristic of first-order reactions is that the time it takes for half the reactant to disappear is the same, no matter what the concentration. This time is called the half-life ( 1/2). Applying Equation to a time interval equal to the half-life results in an equation for / i 2 When half the original concentration has been consumed,... 

Chronopotentiometry at a dme appeared to be impossible until Kies828 recently developed polarography with controlled current density, i.e., with a current density sweep. He explained the method as follows. The high current density during the first stage of the drop life results in the initiation of a secondary electrolysis process at a more negative electrode potential followed by a reverse reaction with rapid (reversible) systems because of the increase in the electrode potential.

The problem of Paralytic Shellfish Poison as a hazard to human health and life resulting from the consumption of bivalve marine molluscs that have ingested certain toxic dinoflagellates is well known. 

Thyroid hormone is critical for the development and functioning of nervous, skeletal, and reproductive tissues. Its effects depend on protein synthesis as well as potentiation of the secretion and action of growth hormone. Thyroid deprivation in early life results in irreversible mental retardation and dwarfism—typical of congenital cretinism. 

Storage Stability. The formation of limonene oxide at 37 C was measured as a function of time to determine shelf-life of the encapsulated orange peel oil samples. Figure 6 shows the shelf-life results. A value of 2mg limonene oxide/g limonene was used as the end of shelf-life for oxidized encapsulated oil samples ( 3) The sample dried at 160 C and 105 C inlet and exit air temperatures respectively and the smallest temperature differential (55 C). This sample formed limonene oxide much faster than the other five samples. By 23 days, this powder had reached a value of 2mg limonene oxide/g limonene. The sample dried at 280 C and 105 C inlet and exit temperatures respectively did not reach 2 mg limonene oxide/g limonene until after 34 days of storage at 37 C. This sample also had the largest inlet and exit air temperature differential (175 C). The remaining four samples had reached 2mg limonene oxide/g limonene after about 30 days of storage at 37 C. 

Fig. 5. Half-life results for 40 substrates in children relative to adults. A ratio of 1 indicates that the half-lives in adults and children are the same. Half-lives for the first three age groups are significantly different from those of adults. [Reprinted from Ginsberg et al. (2002), with permission from Oxford University Press.]...

Highly reactive adhesives are more difficult to mix and apply because of their short working life, resulting in inaccuracies and material waste. Automated metering, mixing, and dispensing equipment may be required. 

Adhesive exceeded its shelf life, resulting in increased viscosity Adhesive residue has Excess air stirred into adhesive... 

Alan Debus has traced the seventeenth century emphasis on the study of motion to the chemistry of Van Helmont and contemporaries, who believed that the principles of motion and life resulted from the divine will. So the study of motion essentially was seen as the study of God and His providence. In... 

Radiochemical yield tracers, Po or Po, are almost universally employed to allow correction for losses. The former has historically been the most widely used tracer, however Po has advantages due to greater energy separation of the peaks, and a longer half-life resulting in a greater effective lifetime of the tracer solution.
