Nonselectivity

There are n types of different ions in solution. A good ISE will have an ionophore that will make it respond selectively only to the ion j. What would happen if you incorporated into the membrane all the ionophores (mobile) for ions k,l, —, n To what would such an electrode respond Could you take advantage of it in designing an electrode for some highly unique situation Would this membrane (with many ionophores) be different from the membrane that has no ionophores

Muns ENDOR mvolves observation of the stimulated echo intensity as a fimction of the frequency of an RE Ti-pulse applied between tlie second and third MW pulse. In contrast to the Davies ENDOR experiment, the Mims-ENDOR sequence does not require selective MW pulses. For a detailed description of the polarization transfer in a Mims-type experiment the reader is referred to the literature [43]. Just as with three-pulse ESEEM, blind spots can occur in ENDOR spectra measured using Muns method. To avoid the possibility of missing lines it is therefore essential to repeat the experiment with different values of the pulse spacing Detection of the echo intensity as a fimction of the RE frequency and x yields a real two-dimensional experiment. An FT of the x-domain will yield cross-peaks in the 2D-FT-ENDOR spectrum which correlate different ENDOR transitions belonging to the same nucleus. One advantage of Mims ENDOR over Davies ENDOR is its larger echo intensity because more spins due to the nonselective excitation are involved in the fomiation of the echo. 

This method uses a short, packed column that generally produces a poor resolution of chromatographic peaks. The liquid-liquid extraction used to extract the trihalomethanes is nonselective. Besides the trihalomethanes, a wide range of nonpolar and polar organic constituents, such as benzene and... 

Historically, formaldehyde has been and continues to be manufactured from methanol. EoUowing World War II, however, as much as 20% of the formaldehyde produced in the United States was made by the vapor-phase, noncatalytic oxidation of propane and butanes (72). This nonselective oxidation process produces a broad spectmm of coproducts (73) which requites a complex cosdy separation system (74). Hence, the methanol process is preferred. The methanol raw material is normally produced from synthesis gas that is produced from methane. 

Herbicide Glasses and Databases. Herbicides can be classified as selective and nonselective. Selective herbicides, like 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid), metolachlor [51218-45-2] and EPTC [759-94 ] are more effective against some types of plants than others, eg, broadleaved plants vs grasses. Glyphosate [1071 -83-6] is representative of the nonselective herbicides used for total vegetable control. 

Bipyridiniums. The bipyridinium herbicides (Table 2), paraquat and diquat, ate nonselective contact herbicides and crop desiccants. Diquat is also used as a general aquatic herbicide (2,296). Bipyridinium herbicides are organic cations and are retained ia the soil complex via cation exchange. They are strongly sorbed to most soils and are not readily desorbed (332). Both paraquat and diquat are not readily leached (293). 

Triazines. Triazine herbicides are one of several herbicide groups that are heterocycHc nitrogen derivatives. Triazine herbicides include the chloro-, methylthio-, and methoxytriazines. They are used for the selective pre-emergence control and early post-emergence control of seedling grass and broadleaved weeds in cropland (299). In addition, some of the triazines, particularly atrazine, prometon [1610-18-0] and simazine [122-34-9] are used for the nonselective control of vegetation in noncropland (2). Simazine may be used for selective control of aquatic weeds (2). 

Other Heterocyclic Nitrogen Derivative Herbicides. The herbicides in this group are heterocycHc nitrogen derivatives that do not readily fall into one of the previously discussed groups. They have a wide range of uses and properties. Most of these herbicides are used for selective, pre-and/or post-emergence weed control. Amitrole is used for post-emergence, nonselective weed control in non-croplands and also as an aquatic herbicide (2,296). 

Metal Organics and Inorganics. The metal organic herbicides are arsenicals used for the selective, post-emergence control of grass and broadleaved weeds in cropland and noncroplands. These herbicides are particularly usehil for weed control in cotton and turf crops (2,296,294). CacodyUc acid is a contact herbicide used for nonselective weed control in cropland and noncropland (299). Ammonium sulfamate [7773-06-0] (AMS) is an inorganic herbicide used for control of woody plants and herbaceous perennials (2). 

Although the ratios have varied from year to year since 1979, the selective herbicides used in com production have accounted for approximately 21% of herbicide use on a per crop basis (24). Herbicide use in soybean and cotton production combined account for ca 23% of the selective herbicide market. Graminicides, which selectively kill grasses, constitute 40% of the total market, leaving a market share of approximately 16% for the nonselective herbicides. 

As a therapeutic class, hypnotics are nonselective CNS depressants that eflcit drowsiness and a natural sleep state from which the individual can be aroused. The effects of hypnotics are generally dose-dependent. 

A computer-controlled bandpass filter system controls the size of the acquired spectral window. Typically, this is set to about 120% of the desired sweep width. Only frequencies within these limits are allowed to reach the ADC. Those frequencies outside the limits would only contribute to the noise in the final spectmm. The need for this system is dictated by the nonselective nature of the excitation rf pulse. 

Promoters are sometimes added to the vanadium phosphoms oxide (VPO) catalyst during synthesis (129,130) to increase its overall activity and/or selectivity. Promoters may be added during formation of the catalyst precursor (VOHPO O.5H2O), or impregnated onto the surface of the precursor before transformation into its activated phase. They ate thought to play a twofold stmctural role in the catalyst (130). First, promoters facilitate transformation of the catalyst precursor into the desired vanadium phosphoms oxide active phase, while decreasing the amount of nonselective VPO phases in the catalyst. The second role of promoters is to participate in formation of a soHd solution which controls the activity of the catalyst. 

Classification of P2 purinoceptors has been limited by a lack of potent, selective, and bioavailable antagonists. Nonetheless a rational scheme for P2 purinoceptor nomenclature divides P2 receptors into two superfamilies P2Y5 LGIC family having four subclasses and P2Y) a GPCR family having seven subclasses. A third receptor type, designated the P22) is a nonselective ion pore. 

Phenylephrine (90) is a selective receptor agonist (+)-niguldipine (91) is a selective antagonist for the receptor. Pra2osin (92) and 5-methylurapidil (93) are nonselective a -receptor antagonists. CEC can differentiate receptors from the other receptors. Pra2osin has low and high affinity for and receptors, respectively. 

In an economic comparison of these three common abatement systems, a 1991 EPA study (58) indicates extended absorption to be the most cost-effective method for NO removal, with selective reduction only matching its performance for small-capacity plants of about 200—250 t/d. Nonselective abatement systems were indicated to be the least cost-effective method of abatement. The results of any comparison depend on the cost of capital versus variable operating costs. A low capital cost for SCR is offset by the ammonia required to remove the NO. Higher tail gas NO... 

Plants can also be pests that need to be controlled, particulady noxious weeds infesting food crops. Prior to 1900, inorganic compounds such as sulfuric acid, copper nitrate, sodium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, and potassium salts were used to selectively control mustards and other broadleaved weeds in cereal grains. By the early 1900s, Kainite and calcium cyanamid were also used in monocotyledenous crops, as well as iron sulfate, copper sulfate, and sodium arsenate. Prom 1915 to 1925, acid arsenical sprays, carbon bisulfate, sodium chlorate, and others were introduced for weed control use. Total or nonselective herbicides kill all vegetation, whereas selective compounds control weeds without adversely affecting the growth of the crop (see Herbicides). 

Uses. The largest usage of PCl is to produce phosphonic acid, H PO, which in reaction with iminodiacetic acid and formaldehyde forms a glyphosate intermediate that is decarboxymethylated to glyphosate, an effective nonselective herbicide (see Herbicides). Phosphoms trichloride is also a convenient chlorinating reagent for producing various acyl and alkyl chlorides. 

Because of the widespread nature of adrenoceptors, nonselective P-agonists can produce many undesirable side effects. Therefore, before adrenergic agonists could become widely used in the treatment of asthma, some selectivity in action was needed. Whereas epinephrine and ephedrine have significant agonist activity at both a and P adrenoceptors, isoproterenol is a selective agonist at the P receptor (39). However, isoproterenol does not distinguish between the P and receptors and it is not active orally. 

SSRIs are well tolerated. Adverse effects for compounds in this class include nervousness, tremor, dizziness, headache, insomnia, sexual dysfunction, nausea, and diarrhea. In addition, the tricycHc antidepressant clomipramine (33), which is a potent nonselective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, is approved for treatment of obsessive—compulsive disorder. 

Treatment of Major Depression. Dmgs commonly used for the treatment of depressive disorders can be classified heuristicaHy iato two main categories first-generation antidepressants with the tricycHc antidepressants (TCAs) and the irreversible, nonselective monoamine—oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, and second-generation antidepressants with the atypical antidepressants, the reversible inhibitors of monoamine—oxidase A (RIMAs), and the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Table 4 fists the available antidepressants. 

Chronic use of these irreversible MAO inhibitors has been associated with life-threatening toxicity, ie, hepatotoxicity and hypertensive crisis. Interactions with tyramine contained in food and other drugs have severely limited use of irreversible MAO inhibitors. These MAO inhibitors are also nonselective, inhibiting both MAO-A and MAO-B isoenzymes. Furthermore, they interfere with the hepatic metabolism of many dmgs.
