Particulates can either cross into the lymphatics at the spaces in the tracheobronchial wall where epithelial cells directly overlay lymphoid tissue or pass through the endothelium of thin capillary walls in the air spaces. The transfer is a portion of a clearance mechanism that assists the lung in maintaining its normal function of gas exchange. Absorbtion and transport mechanisms of a variety of materials that enter the lymphatics continue to be studied. It was shown early in this century that water, dyes, proteins, bacteria, lipids, and particulates enter the lymphatic system relatively easily. The rates of transport and quantity vary with the size and chemistry of the material. Classic studies by Kihara (1924 1950) and Nishikawa (1941) dem-... 

In recent years, computer simulation see Solids Computer Modeling) methods have been used successfidly to examine the relationship between structural properties and transport mechanism in crystalline amorphous and polymeric materials. ... 

The study of the frequency dependence of the AC conductivity obtain information about electronic states and transport mechanism of disordered solids. In numerous disordered solids (amorphous and doped semiconductors, semiconductor glasses, polymers, granular materials, etc.), the AC conductivity in a wide frequency range (up to GHz range) can be described by a fractional power dependence a(m ) = AcT, where A is a constant and the parameter 5 lies in the range 0 < 5 < I (universality, see reviews [1, 2]). 

All material corroded is immediately available to the environment, and is regarded as released for the purposes of the lASAP models. Making this assumption negates the need for analyses of solubility and transport mechanisms through the containment, and immediately demonstrates that the lASAP release rates must be pessimistic. In practice, of course, much of the corroded material will be both heavy and insoluble and will remain within the containment, reducing the true release rates. This fact has been discussed in die context of reactor criticality, where it was...

The removal methodology, required recovery equipment, and transport mechanisms for dealing with such waste must be determined in relationship to the quantity of radioactive material involved, its activity levels, and the avaUability of either interim or long-term storage facilities within the jurisdiction in which the waste is generated. In some instances, such as low-level spills, it may be possible to coUect aU or most contaminated waste relatively easily. In others, however, it may be impossible to remove any material quickly due to the volume of contaminated waste involved or high activity levels. There also may not be an avaUable repository for the material. 

Available DNS approaches are summarized in Fig. 2. The important question here is to choose the appropriate method for a given problem. The creation of a material surface for example may be studied in cold flows using three dimensional constant density DNS. Even if the flow field is quite different from real flames useful information can be obtained for a reasonable price (typically Ihour Cray2 per run). On the other hand three dimensional variable density DNS with simple chemistry and transport mechanisms provide more realistic flames for low Reynolds... 

The model is an indirect multiparadigm approach a continuum model describing electrochemical and transport mechanisms with parameters extracted from ab initio databases (for the reactions kinetic parameters as function of the catalyst chemistry and morphology) and CGMD calculations (for the materials structural properties as function of their chemistry). 

Franco has designed this model to coimect within a nonequilibrium thermodynamics framework atomistic phenomena (elementary kinetic processes) with macroscopic electrochemical observables (e.g., I-V curves, EIS, Uceii(t)) with reasonable computational efforts. The model is a transient, multiscale, and multiphysics single electrochemical cell model accounting for the coupling between physical mechanistic descriptions of the phenomena taking place in the different component and material scales. For the case of PEMFCs, the modeling approach can account for detailed descriptions of the electrochemical and transport mechanisms in the electrodes, the membrane, the gas diffusion layers and the channels H2, O2, N2, and vapor... 

Advances in the understanding of ion desolvation and transport mechanisms have furthered the utility of these materials. However, environmental toxicity and safety issues associated with organic electrolytes coupled with their still limited operational potential windows shifted the focus to the development of ionic liquids as electrolytes for new ESs. With ionic liquid electrolytes, operating voltages can be increased to 3.5 V or more without instability issues arising. Moreover, ionic liquids have well defined ion sizes and do not have ion salvation and desolvation mechanisms that plague aqueous and organic electrolyte systems.

Variants of these techniques are the Photothermal Deflection Spectroscopy (PDS or Mirage effect) and Photothermal Displacement Spectroscopy (102). These techniques are based on deflection of a light beam due to refractive index gradients either In a fluid (or air) in contact with a light absorbing solid or in the solid itself. If the fluid is inert the technique can be used to measure absorption spectra of solid materials and transport properties. A version of these techniques was applied to electrochemical and photoelectrochemical systems (103). The authors describe the experimental conditions needed to separate the contributions from the temperature and concentration gradients. Once this is done the results can be correlated with the kinetics and mechanism of the electrochemical reactions.
