On-target

K = Constant (depends on target material, particle abrasiveness and size distribution)... 

The dependence on target mass makes ion scattering techniques ideal for the study of multielement systems. By increasing the incident ion mass, the energy separation between different elements becomes larger. On the other hand, radiation-induced damage becomes a more important consideration. 

Select acceptable systems based on target levels. 

There are two different tasks in system selection acceptance of systems based on target levels, and comparison of acceptable systems in order to choose the most desirable one. 

The distribution given in the table should be used only as a guide, not for designing. There are many cases where low demands on target level for some ventilation parameter have a great influence on the building system.

Iridium and osmium are rarely deposited. A new osmium bath is based on the hexachloroosmate ion . Procedures were outlined for depositing osmium on targets for nuclear reactions . 

Compound optimization, to screen a series of therapeutic diug candidates to find the compounds that are most specific for the target protein and those that cause unintended effects, i.e. improved understanding of the molecular mode of action including structure-activity relationships for on-target versus off-target effects... 

Cytokines are small, short-lived proteins and important mediators of local intercellular communication. They play a key role in integrating responses to a variety of stimuli in immune and inflammatory processes. By binding their cognate receptors on target cells in their immediate vicinity, these molecules participate in many important biological activities including cell proliferation, activation, death and differentiation. In... 

Ubiquitin tags proteins for protein degradation. The ubiquitination requires three different enzymatic activities, a ubiquitin-activating enzyme (El), a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2 or Ubc) and a ubiquitin ligase (E3). The action of all three enzymes leads to the establishment of a poly-ubiquitin chain on target proteins which are then recognized and proteolyzed by the 26S proteasome. 

Some of the best evidence of links between effects at different organizational levels comes from studies with OPs, where levels of AChE inhibition have been compared with associated neurophysiological and behavioral effects. In adopting this approach, however, the picture is complicated by mounting evidence for these compounds acting on target sites other than AChE, as discussed in Section 16.3. Thus, behavioral disturbances caused by an OP may be the outcome of interaction with both AChE and one or more other sites of action. The following account, however, will be concerned with situations where effects of OPs are closely related to levels of AChE inhibition. More complex scenarios will be discussed in the next section.
