Permitivity free space

Mitochondria are surrounded by a simple outer membrane and a more complex inner membrane (Figure 21.1). The space between the inner and outer membranes is referred to as the intermembrane space. Several enzymes that utilize ATP (such as creatine kinase and adenylate kinase) are found in the intermembrane space. The smooth outer membrane is about 30 to 40% lipid and 60 to 70% protein, and has a relatively high concentration of phos-phatidylinositol. The outer membrane contains significant amounts of porin —a transmembrane protein, rich in /3-sheets, that forms large channels across the membrane, permitting free diffusion of molecules with molecular weights of about 10,000 or less. Apparently, the outer membrane functions mainly to...

The Equation assumes that all dipoles are independent. It relates the values of Er and eu measured at temperature T to the concentrations N and dipole moments Pi of the polar species (k is Boltzmann s constant and Eq is the permitivity of free space). 

Here, e and Er are the permitivities of free-space and the sample, respectively, and... 

No foreign gases are permitted in the free space of all such apparatus or the recondensation of NHg (or SOg) will be appreciably hindered. Thus, the free space is evacuated from time to time. 

K " and n can be extracted from the intercept and the slope of Avrami plot, lg[-ln(l-.A0] versus lg(f-f ), respectively. The prime requirement of Avrami model is the ability of spherulites of a polymer to grow in a free space. Besides, Avrami equation is usually only valid at low degree of conversion, where impingement of polymer spherulites is yet to take place. The rate of crystallization of polymer can also be characterized by reciprocal half-time (/ 5). The use of Avrami model permits the understanding on the kinetics of isothermal crystallization as well as non-isothermal crystallizatioa However, in this chapter the discussion of the kinetics of crystallization is limited to isothermal conditions. 

Semi-permeable membranes, such as those used in ultrafiltration, have many potential applications in the food industry. Ishikawa and Nara (1992) pointed out, however that the main problem with these systems was the permeation of the solute used in osmosis into the foodstuff. This could be controlled by the use of a semi-permeable membrane placed in intimate contact with the food, that is, with no free space between the membrane and the food. They investigated the use of a membrane made from a chitosan gel. Chitosan is prepared from chitin, a glycan separated commercially from the shells of crustaceans. Chitosan is both semi-permeable and edible. They postulated that food could, therefore, be coated with a chitosan membrane, thereby eliminating any free space. As yet, chitosan is not permitted as an additive in foods, but this technique may find wide applications in the food industry if chitosan were to be accepted as a processing aid for foodstuffs. 

Here a is the bulk ionic or dc conductivity is the angular frequency (27rf) r is the dipole relaxation time is the relaxed dielectric constant or low frequency/high temperature dielectric constant (relative permittivity due to induced plus static dipoles) is the unrelaxed dielectric constant or high frequency/low temperature dielectric constant (relative permittivity due to induced dipoles only) o is the permitivity of free space E p is the electrode polarization term for permittivity and E"-p is the electrode polarization term for loss factor. The value of E p and E"p is usually unity, except when ionic conduction is very high (75).
