Network-Example

As an example the authors local NMR network (Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Berne, Switzerland) is outlined below (Fig. 2.10). It represents a network situation, typical for universities, but probably not representative for industry, with other standards and additional demands. 

Two Bruker DRX-spectrometers, each connected to a INDY-workstation (INDY WS) use FTP to communicate and exchange data files via a thin-wire Ethernet with a SUN workstation, acting as a bridge to the central network (thick-wire Ethernet). FTP is used to send data from both DRX spectrometers via the bridge to the central server workstation (SERVER WS). 

Two Bruker AC spectrometers are connected to a Bridge-PC using NMRLINK. These two PCs are also connected to the central network (thick-wire Ethernet) and exchange data with the central Server Workstation using FTP. A series of PCs, located in laboratories and serving as remote NMR processing stations, are connected via the central network to the central Server Workstation. Most of these remote PCs use NFS for transferring NMR data. Since this communication is restricted to the transfer of NMR data from the central Server to the PC no passwords are required. 

The PCs of the system administrator and a few special users have direct access to the DRX-spectrometer.s via the central Server using the FTP protocol. This special group have direct access to any files in the spectrometer s data system, i.e. data files, variou.s lists, pulse programs. and may transfer files to and from the spectrometers. In addition, they also have the option to create or delete directories, to modify pulse programs and to do other jobs on the spectrometer s data system. As is usual in security sensitive situations, this special group require a password to acces.s the spectrometer.

This example supplements and extends what was illustrated in Example 5.3 related to the variability of DO in sewer networks. Example 5.3 was based on the simple DO mass balance expressed in Equation (5.10). This example will make use of the sewer process model that integrates the reaeration and the DO consuming processes (Table 5.3). 

Freshly isolated or subcultured brain microvascular endothelial cells offer a notable in vitro tool to study drug transport across the blood-brain barrier. Cells can be grown to monolayers on culture plates or permeable membrane supports. The cells retain the major characteristics of brain endothelial cells in vivo, such as the morphology, specific biochemical markers of the blood-brain barrier, and the intercellular tight junctional network. Examples of these markers are y-glutamyl transpeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, von-Willebrandt factor-related antigen, and ZO-1 tight junctional protein. The methods of... 

Models which also describe the molecular weight between crosslinks for neutral polymer networks but use a non-Gaussian chain distribution have also been derived. These models would be useful in cases of highly crosslinked polymer networks. Examples of these types of models include those of Peppas and Lucht [7], Kovac [8], and Galli and Brummage [9]. 

Si three-dimensional networks Examples are SrSi2, a-USi2, in which [Si ] constitutes a network with metal cations occupying the interstitial sites.

Organic polymers or macromolecules contain only carbon in the main chain or network. Examples are polyolefines, polystju-ene (linear cross-linked), polyacetylenes, etc.

Many systems in nature and technology exhibit typical structures which can be used for modeling considerations via analogy. One of those structures are networks. Examples include the vascular system of animals, rivers or streets in a given region, or electrical networks. The features and related scientific questions are... 

Other homogeneous immunoassays Several further homogenous assay formats have been developed that capitalize on the ability of antigen-antibody complexes to form detectable clusters or networks. Examples include the latex particle agglutination assay and the latex particle agglutination inhibition assay, in which the analyte or the antibody is conjugated to latex beads, and the analyte is quantified by virtue of its ability to promote or disrupt agglutination. Another example is the liposome immunoassay, in which analyte molecules are coupled to lipids,... 

Although the dynamically vulcanized blends such as EPDM/PP (Santoprene ) and NBR/PP (Geolast ) have sometimes been referred to in the literature as semi-lPNs, we considered them as blends of cross-linked elastomer dispersions in a thermoplastic matrix and as such treated them under the elastomer blends. There is yet another class of thermoplastic/thermoset blend system in which a minor amount of the cross-linkable monomer(s) is allowed to polymerize in the thermoplastic matrix forming a loose network. Examples of such systems are silicone semi-IPNs in thermoplastics that have been recently commercialized (Rimplast , Petrarch, div. of Hiils) (Anonymous 1983). 

Hybrid networks combine the features of two or more types of ANN, the idea being to highlight the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of the different networks. Examples are the Hamming network, which has a perceptron-like and a Hopfield-like layei and the counterpropagation network, which has a Kohonen layer and a Grossberg outstar layer.
