Although a uniform nomenclature for Na /H exchanger isoforms has not yet been adopted, we will refer to the amiloride-sensitive type of Na" /H exchanger that is present in the basolateral membrane of epithelia (apical membrane of placental syncytiotrophoblast) and also widely distributed in non-epithelial cells as the sensitive-type. The relatively amiloride-resistant isoform present in apical mem-... 

The chemical bonding and the possible existence of non-nuclear maxima (NNM) in the EDDs of simple metals has recently been much debated [13,27-31]. The question of NNM in simple metals is a diverse topic, and the research on the topic has basically addressed three issues. First, what are the topological features of simple metals This question is interesting from a purely mathematical point of view because the number and types of critical points in the EDD have to satisfy the constraints of the crystal symmetry [32], In the case of the hexagonal-close-packed (hep) structure, a critical point network has not yet been theoretically established [28]. The second topic of interest is that if NNM exist in metals what do they mean, and are they important for the physical properties of the material The third and most heavily debated issue is about numerical methods used in the experimental determination of EDDs from Bragg X-ray diffraction data. It is in this respect that the presence of NNM in metals has been intimately tied to the reliability of MEM densities. 

Figure 3. Contour plots of the bias corrected MEM densities in the (110) plane of metallic beryllium (a) uniform prior, (b) non-uniform prior. The plots are on a linear scale with 0.05 el A1 intervals. Truncation at 1.0e/A3. Maximum values in e/A3 are given at the Be position and in the bipyramidal space of the hep structure.

The MEM is a powerful new method which is especially useful in cases with limited data sets (powder diffraction). Monte Carlo simulations have shown that the MEM introduces systematic features into the reconstructed density and caution should be exercised when interpreting fine details of an MEM density. It must be emphasized that because the present MEM algorithms do not contain any models, they cannot filter out inconsistencies in the data stemming from systematic errors. The MEM densities may therefore contain non-physical features not only because of systematic bias in the calculation but also because of systematic errors in the data. 

An unusual class of heterocydes are polyketide-derived macrodiolide natural produds. The groups of Porco and Panek have recently shown that stereochemically well-defined macrodiolides of this type can be obtained by cyclodimerization (transesterification) of non-racemic chiral hydroxy esters (Scheme 6.154) [301]. Preliminary experiments involving microwave irradiation demonstrated that exposing dilute solutions of the hydroxy ester (0.02 m) in chlorobenzene to sealed-vessel microwave irradiation conditions (200 °C, 7 min) in the presence of 10 mol% of a distannoxane transesterification catalyst led to a 60% isolated yield of the 16-mem-bered macrodiolide heterocycle. Conventional reflux conditions in the same solvent (0.01 m in the hydroxy ester) provided a 75% yield after 48 h at ca. 135 °C. 

The availability of non-racemic oxepins through tandem catalytic RCM and Zr-catalyzed kinetic resolution has additional important implications. Optically pure heterocycles that carry a heteroatom within their side chain (cf. (S)-14 in Scheme 3) can be used in stereoselective uncatalyzed alkylations. The alcohol, benzyl ether or MEM-ethers derived from (S)-14 readily undergo directed [10] and diastereoselective alkylations when treated with a variety of Grignard reagents [11]. 

The alternative approach is based on a non-iterative procedure using the maximum entropy model (MEM) to extract the complex dielectric susceptibility from the intensity measurements. This technique was first proposed 15 years ago (Vartiainen 1992), and recently was used for multiplexed CARS measurements (Petrov et al. 2007, Vartiainen et al. 2006).

Media frequently employed in the culture of continuous mammalian cell lines include Eagle s medium, MEM (Eagle, 1959) Eagle s medium modified by Dulbecco, DMEM (Dulbecco and Freeman, 1959) RPMI 1640 medium (Moore et ah, 1967) CMRL 1066 medium (Parker et al., 1957) and Ham s F12 medium (Ham, 1965). For the cultivation of adherent continuous cell lines the following basal media are suitable CMRL 1066, MCDB 411, DMEM. F12, MCDB 301, and IMDM. For non-transformed cells, the media DMEM, IMDM, MCDB 104, 105, 202, 401, and 501 are suitable (Freshney, 1992). Each of these basal formulations may be supplemented with serum or other specific proteins. 

It is common practice when culturing certain cells, e.g. BSC1 and CV1 monkey cells, to supplement Eagles MEM with certain non-essential amino acids (Appendix 1). 

Growth media, i.e. media suitable for the continued culture of established cell lines, are prepared by dilution of the 10 X stock solutions. If the 10 X stock is made with salts present (i.e. if it is obtained commercially or if it is made from powder — see below) then it must be diluted with water. If, however, it is made as described in Appendix 1, Table 13 or 14, it must be diluted with BSS as indicated in Table 15. The latter table gives methods of preparing various minimal essential media supplemented with calf or foetal calf serum and in one case also with non-essential amino acids . The various media are all based on Eagle s MEM and have been developed to improve the growth of certain cell lines or strains as indicated. 

Screen-printing, bonding and injection moulding are well adapted to the fabrication of thick films for MEMS. Most often, isotropic ribbons are used, and the dilution of the powders in the non magnetic binder limits further the value of the remanent magnetisation.
