Other possible uses

In this paper, asymmetric carbon atoms are considered only in paraffins and substituted paraffins, and the following definition will be retained (cf. Sec. 36(b)) A carbon atom is called asymmetric if the four bonded radicals arc pairwise structurally different. (Thus, it is not sufficient to require that the four radicals are not stereoisomers in order to declare a carbon atom asymmetric. One could envisage other, possibly useful, definitions.)... 

In this chapter, we wish to present the reader with an introduction to proteolytic enzymes, and some of their current and potential uses in various fields. It is our hope that this chapter will stimulate readers to consider proteolytic enzymes for biomass conversion as well as other possible uses. 

Attempts to utilize sucrose in synthetic resins have had no great success. The position has recently been summarized by Long in an article Sugar and Sugar By-Products in the Plastics Industry. As far as the author is aware the only other possible use of sucrose as such is in solution as a lubricant for certain types of machinery used in the sugar industry, for example in rotary pumps and stirring apparatus. 

G. Other applications Other possible uses of Orthoclone OKT3 are for prophylaxis and treatment of acute graft-versus-host disease (as an adjunct with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation) treatment of rejection after lung transplantation prophylaxis and treatment of rejection... 

Other possible uses, not addressed in this study, are the potential benefit of clonidine as an adjunct to lithium or anticonvulsants, possibly serving as a substitute for anxiolytics or antipsychotics, or its benefit in less severe exacerbations of mania. 

Are there any other possible uses for the construction of complex topological species One possible application is in the mass production of DNA polyhedral catenanes by biological means, such as the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (Saiki et al. 1986) or by production in vivo. Figure 21 illustrates that semi-conservative replication (the mechanism used by DNA polymerases) cannot reproduce a stable branch. The DNA with different sequences in the two arms of the branch (cartooned as dashed and solid lines) leads to two heterologous duplex DNA molecules, rather than a second branched molecule. 

The iodine value is reported as the number of grams of iodine that bind to 100 g of sample. As such, the IV can only be used as an index of unsaturation, especially in a mixed triacyl-glyceride system. This means that it can be compared to the same data from other mixed triacylglyceride systems, i.e., comparing to a competitor oil/fat. The other possible use is to reflect changes in the value based on treatment effects occurring in the system in question, e.g., to monitor hydrogenation. 

PBBs may be used as starting materials in the synthesis of biphenyl esters, in a modified WUrtz synthesis and as color activators in sensitizers also, to control the molecular weights of polymers, e.g., in polybutadienes. Other possible uses include wood preservation and as voltage stabilizers in electrical insulation (ref. 80, p. 438). 

The divalent mineral-binding effect of CPPs can be put in use in applications where one wants to increase the availability for absorption of these minerals in the gut. Drinks with calcium and iron are examples for commercial uses of CPPs examples can be found especially in the Japanese market. Products for children that incorporate calcium or milk minerals and CPPs in sweets or cookies are found in the South Asian market. As mineral accretion is high during early childhood, incorporation of CPPs provides good solubility and availability for absorption of calcium or zinc and thus is worth considering for infant nutrition. Other possible uses are in calcium-enriched dairy products and natural calcium supplements. In addition, dental applications are obvious, since complexes of calcium, CPPs and phosphate may reduce caries in a dose-dependent fashion. 

The system. Including guns, blanks, charges, darts and sedatives, is Intend for use In subduing or medicating both wild and domestic ani nals. Other possible uses are left to your Imagination. 

There are, however, many other possible uses for freeze-drying that include the preservation of microbial cultures, the restoration of books and other objects damaged by water, the concentration and recovery of reaction products, and the preservation of whole animal specimens as a form of taxidermy. 

Use As cross-linking agents in epoxy coatings, imparting high flexibility and adhesion at low temperatures. Other possible uses are in polyamide and polyurethane coatings, adhesives, elastomers and foams, as intermediates for textile and paper treatment, and viscosity-index improvers in lubricating oils. 

Energy production from agricultural waste by gasification competes with several other possible uses. 

Some side-effects are not particularly serious. Some, in fact, can be advantageous. Euphoria, for example, is a useful side-effect when treating pain in terminally ill patients. Other side-effects, such as constipation, are uncomfortable but can give clues as to other possible uses for opiate-like structures. For example, opiate structures are widely used in cough medicines and the treatment of diarrhoea. 

Besides the synthetic materials, there are a variety of hydrophilic polymers obtained from natural sources. Some examples include collagen, alginate, and carrageen, all of which are obtained from natural sources. Collagen is widely used in implants and many other possible uses and applications have been studied for this material. 

Many other options are available within an MTO-MOGD plant in addition to changing the distillate-to-gasoline ratio, and the splits between the various distillate cuts. Some of the light olefins can be separated before the MOGD unit and used as alkylate feed if iso—butane is available, or as a feed to a petrochemical plant. Other possible uses may include alcohols and ethers for gasoline additive production, since methanol, water and olefins are readily available. The exceptional flexibility of both MTO... 

Besides the application of their field emission characteristics in display technology, other possible uses of carbon nanotube have been published, too. For example, the development of so-called cold cathodes containing nanotubes will become at least one element in advanced tube technology. Nanotube-based materials for field emission may further be employed in X-ray generation or as a microwave amplifier (Figure 3.108). 

The impact of dyes in natural waters needs to be considered firom 3 standpoints, namely, visual pollution due to color, possible effects on aquatic organisms and possible effects on the suitability of the water for drinking (animals or humans), or other possible uses. 

The incorporation of enzymes into detergents is the most recent of a series of applications, and has aroused a great deal of interest in other possible uses. A relatively large number of earlier applications of enzymes did not have the benefit of modem day advertising and as a result did not capture the interest of the general population. Yet many of these applications retain their place in industry because of their unique nature. 

Several sintered glass and glass-ceramic matrix composites obtained from recycled silicate waste have been reported in the literature [100-106]. These are dense or porous products with potential application as building, decoration or architectural materials, such as wall partition blocks, pavements, wall and floor tiles, thermal insulation, fire protection elements, roofing granules and acoustic tiles. Other possible uses include abrasive media for blasting and polishing applications. 

Recent years have seen vast experimentation with many different process designs for the liquefaction of coals. The degree of coal conversion and composition of the product oil vary with both the coal rank, maceral composition, mineral matter content, and conversion process. Whereas much attention has been focused on the separation and characterization of the product oil by chromatographic and spectroscopic means, less work has been done on the unconverted or process altered residues from liquefaction processes. Although many of the processes do incorporate some sort of bottoms processing , other possible uses of these residues include road materials, carbon electrodes, coal gasification feedstocks, and as direct combustion fuels. Recently, coal conversion by-products have been used as raw materials in the synthesis of thermosetting polyesters. ... 

Other possible uses that have been suggested for the material in the United States are in sports equipment and also in patterns for molding. Weight problems are likely to be important as far as sports goods are concerned, since the density of the wood plastics material is appreciably greater than wood itself, but undoubtedly possibilities exist for replacement of expensive and often scarce timbers by polymer-loaded woods. 

The waste also contains approximately 40% cotton (the remainder is spandex), which is a hygroscopic. Samples of waste fibers, as above, were placed in 100 ml of tap water plus a drop of surfactant. The time for the fibers to sink below the surface of the water was about 45 seconds. This means that the fibers are a candidate for a product which requires some ability to absorb water. Perhaps the fiber could be used in diapers if additional highly hygroscopic materials are added. Other possible uses for the waste include stuffing for pillows or mattresses (the presence of spandex gives the material some spring ) or the material could be chopped onto flock. 

The outer face of an impounding dam should be planted with trees. Deep roots help to stabilize the soil. The silted-up settling pond areas should likewise be planted with trees or otherwise be used as pasture or arable land. Other possible uses are as sports fields or recreational facilities, as such areas are usually very flat.
