Mixing static system

Gastropods (snails), echinoderms (sea urchins and sea stars) and annelids (lugworms) were exposed to oil saturated sediments and assayed for AHH activity (17). Sediment was mixed with Venezuelan crude at a concentration of 0.2-0.5% and exposures were for one week (4°C) in a static system with water renewal at 2-3 day intervals. The aim was to determine if oil soaked sediments could induce AHH activity in some representative intertidal benthic organisms common to the subarctic waters of the North West Atlantic. Digestive gland homogenates from snails, sea urchins, and sea stars and a combination of intestinal and gill tissues from annelids were used in the enzyme assays. 

In the Licari and Bailey Model [102] and also in the latest Hu and Bentley Model [105] it is proposed that the infection process be described by the Poisson distribution with mean and variance equal to a.MOI. The a-value has been proposed to be dependent on the physical system and a value of a = 0.04 was proposed for static systems [102]. For agitated systems suspension cultures Hu and Bentley proposed a value of a = 0.08 because they state that agitation systems enable higher efficiency of contact between viruses and cells [105]. This is not absolutely true, at least the true reason is not the higher mixing level but the fact that in static cultures, less cell surface is exposed to the virus, since to the cells are attached to a surface. This gives an overall constant of attachment 3-4 fold lower than in suspension systems [61]. 

Let us now consider some actual numerical data for specific mixed biopolymer systems. Table 5.1 shows a set of examples comparing the values of the cross second virial coefficients obtained experimentally by static laser light scattering with those calculated theoretically on the basis of various simple excluded volume models using equations (5.32) to (5.35). For the purposes of this comparison, the experimental data were obtained under conditions of relatively high ionic strength (/ > 0.1 mol dm- ), i.e., under conditions where the contribution of the electrostatic term (A if1) is expected to be relatively insignificant.

Fast Reactions. Where reactions are essentially completed in times of seconds or much less, ingenious methods have been devised to give measurements of the rate. Such methods may involve static systems in which mixing is performed very rapidly. Also useful is excitation of the system by light for a specified period. A variant method involves a flow system in which reactants are rapidly mixed and flowed through a tube in which recording equipment can be employed to measure optical absorption, heat evolution (temperature), or electrical conductivity. The...

To improve the overall amount of analyte that is extracted, a flowing donor is often used i.e., the sample is pumped past the donor side of the membrane in a dynamic flow system. Also static systems with a stagnant donor are common, often with convective mixing by stirring. 

Add the present generation of living organisms viruses, bacteria, fungi, tree roots, insects, burrowing rodents, etc., and you have the mix of living and inanimate materials that we call "soil". It is not a static system, but continually adjusting in response to natural and man-made forces. 

Emulsions are defined as dispersed systems for which the phases are immiscible or partially miscible liquids. The emulsions are dispersions of one liquid (oil) in another, often water (w), and are thus typically classified as oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions. They are relatively static systems with rather large droplets (diameter of about 1 pm). The word emulsion comes from Latin and means to milk . Emulsions are t5q)i-caUy highly unstable liquid-liquid systems which wUl eventually phase separate and require emulsifiers, most often mixed surfactants (or other substances, e.g. synthetic polymers or proteins). In milk , the emulsifier is the protein casein (Figure 12.1). 

Abe et al. [124] have studied mixed-surfactant systems consisting of a nonionic hydrocarbon surfactant [Ci6H330(C2H40)2oH] and an anionic fluori-nated surfactant (ammonium perfluorooctanoate or ammonium perfluorode-canoate). Dynamic and static light-scattering and fluorescence probe measurements revealed mixed-micelle formation. Penetration of the anionic fluorinated...
