Partial currents, definition

By definition the partial current density ij is the number of charges that in unit time cross the unit cross-sectional area due to the migration of ions j that is,... 

The functional dependence of the activation energy of the anodic electrode reaction can be derived as follows. According to the definition of the rate of the electrode reaction, the partial current density... 

Thus, in terms of partial current densities, let the reaction be proceeding in the forward direction under equilibrium conditions and let its velocity be represented by j. The arrow represents direction. If you like, you can say, From left to right. Now we choose to use electrochemical terminology, and then the full definition of j would be the partial current density in one direction. (The density refers to the standardization with respect to the area one is considering, a square centimeter [cm2] or square meter [m2].) If we were talking about a chemical reaction, then we should use the symbol v and the definition then would be the rate of reaction in one direction. In a chemical reaction, v would be the number of gram moles per square centimeter per second (g mol cm-2 s-1) (or per square meter per second [m-2 s-1]). 

The quantity used to compare the contributions of the various charge carriers to the overall current is the transport number of a given type of charge carrier, defined as the ratio between the overall current and the partial current attributable to the charge carrier. In any geometric situation, the different current density vectors are not necessarily collinear and the general definition of a transport number is as follows ... 

Consider an infinite medium in which there is a spatially constant neutron flux introduce a spherical cavity of radius 72 and use the theorem stated above, along wdth the definition of neutron flux (i.e., the flux is the neutron track length per unit volume per unit lime), to show that the first term in the expression for the partial current in terms of the flux is 0/4. 

It may be that the safety requirements specification has already been developed for a similar system or for another safety assessment on this system. In these cases the assessor should carefully check to ensure that the current application matches the application for which a safety requirements specification already exists. If there is a close correspondence then the existing analysis may be used. Where there are differences, a new (full or partial) re-definition of the safety requirements specification will be necessary. 

Gracey et al. reported the outcomes in 206 consecutive patients admitted to the Mayo Clinic Ventilator-Dependent Unit during a five-year study period (27). Two hundred and six patients who met the current definition of PMV were admitted 92% (190) were discharged of which 77% returned to their homes, and 153 of the patients were weaned totally from mechanical ventilation, whereas 37 remained completely or partially ventilator dependent. Of the patients receiving mechanical ventilation at the time of discharge, 73% received it only noctumally. The four-year survival rate of the patients was 53%. However, a significant number (60%) of patients received prolonged ventilation as a result of postoperative conditions, which may have skewed the results to a more optimistic report. 

In these cases there is no well defined notion of a looser constraint, the choice is then either to force those variables to be equal in x and y, or to find some path from their value to a constraint on another inter- or intrasituational variable and thus be able to show that their values in jc, y should obey some ordering based on these other constraints. This topic is the subject of current research, but is not limiting in the flowshop example, since no such constraints exist. Lastly, it is not enough to assert conditions on the state variables in x and y, since we have made no reference to the discrete space of alternatives that the two solutions admit. Our definition of equivalence and dominance constrains us to have the same set of possible completions. For equivalence relationships the previous statement requires that the partial solutions, x and y, contain the same set of alphabet symbols, and for dominance relations the symbols of JC have to be equal to, or a subset of those of y. Thus our sufficient theory can be informally stated as follows ... 

The number of ions i" produced from a gas in the ion source is proportional to the emission current i, to the specific ionization Sggj, to a geometry factor f representing the ionization path inside the ionization source, to the relative ionization probability RlPgaj. and to the partial pressure Pggj. This number of ions produced is, by definition, made equal to the sensitivity Egas times the partial pressure Pg ... 

In retrospect, it seems unfortunate that in 1971 Morrison and Mosher8 generalized the definition, while keeping the term, an asymmetric synthesis is a reaction in which an achiral unit in an ensemble of substrate molecules is converted by a reactant into a chiral unit in such a manner that the stereoisomeric products arc produced in unequal amounts ( Footnote The substrate molecule must have either enantiotopic or diastereotopic groups or faces) . Obviously the phrase "an achiral unit in an ensemble of substrate molecules is too inexact and requires a great deal of additional explanation, which was partially given by the footnote (note that molecule, i.e., singular, was used ). Currently, the Morrison-Mosher term appears to be equivalent to stereoselective reaction. Unfortunately, this term was only defined in the modem sense by Izumi in 1971, i.e., in the same year the Morrison-Mosher definition was published.

Wilson ((>85) has pointed out that if a Brillouin zone is full, the electrons occupying the states of this zone can make no contribution to the electric current. This fact follows from the definition of the zone as a region enclosing all reduced wave vectors. Imagine all electrons of Figure 6 shifted Akx by an external field. The electrons in states within Akx of the zone boundary are reflected to the opposite zone boundary, so that the zone remains filled and there is no transfer of charge. This observation permits a sharp distinction between metallic conductors, semiconductors, and insulators. Because of the high density of states in a band, a crystal with partially filled bands is a metallic conductor. If all occupied zones (or bands) are filled, the crystal is a semiconductor if Ef kT, is an insulator if kT. 

The value of cultured stem cells to toxicology is in their promise as a continuous source of cells that can be induced to express a chosen cell-type-specific mature phenotype. This achievement would address two current limitations in safety testing scarcity of metabolically competent human systems and use of experimental animals. Numerous culture additives and conditions have been identified that cause commitment and partial differentiation along specific lineages, such as retinoic-acid-induced neuronal commitment of mouse embryonic stem cells. However, definition of conditions that produce fully differentiated cells with cell-type-specific function quantitatively similar to that of intact tissue remains problematic and is a high-priority research area in toxicology.
