Most of the mention of cholesterol in the popular press positions this molecule as a threat to human health. Many foods are proudly labeled cholesterol-free. People are properly warned to pay attention to their plasma cholesterol level, particnlarly that carried in the low-density lipoproteins, LDLs, commonly known, with pretty good reason, as bad cholesterol. LDLs are lipoprotein particles containing a large protein known as B-100 associated with cholesterol, cholesteryl esters, phospholipids, and some triglycerides.

Excel Tip. To use the the Format Painter button to "paint" a format on a series of non-adjacent cells or ranges, select the cell with the desired format, then double-click on the Format Painter button. This will keep the button in the "pressed" position, allowing you to click on several cells or ranges to paste the format When you re done, click once on the button to return it to the "unpressed" state. 

Initially the objective was simply to control the closing of the press to the point where the desired panel thickness was achieved. The next objective was to reduce the elosing time to maximize the press capacity. This required a more sophisticated approach to control of the press hydraulics. Distance sensors to measure the platen distance provided new opportunities for improved control. For a single opening press, position sensors allowed control of panel thickness at each sensor.

Polyurethane roll covers were introduced to the paper industry at the end of the 1980s. The outstanding mechanical and dynamical properties make polyurethane the most suitable material for soft elastomeric covers in press positions. Depending on paper quahty and press design, high open surfaces up to 45 % with grooves, blind drilled holes or suction holes, as well as combinations thereof are used. An example of surface design is shown in Fig. 5.11. 

For lower demand apphcations composite covers with conventional fiber reinforcements (glass or polyester) are used. These covers are for apphcations such as guide rolls or special press positions. 

All press nips in modern paper machines are single or double felted. Shoe presses are mainly double felted. The pick-up felt is in the first press felt position it has to transfer the wet paper web from the forming wire to the press section. Whilst the loads of the press nips increase from press position to press position of the press section, the diameter of the felt fibers on the paper side surface decreases. Changing from a coarser press felt surface to a finer one enables the transfer of the paper web, due to the increased adhesion by capillary forces and larger contact area. 

After the allotted pressing/heating time, the pressure is released and the press moves to the open position. By this time, the loader is again ready and as each veneer assembly is moved into its respective opening, the pressed panels are pushed out into the unloader on the opposite side of the press. As the press begins the next cycle, the unloader moves to deposit the pressload of panels into a stack. 

A rack and frame press uses heavy nylon cloth positioned in a wooden frame inside a rack. A measured amount of apple or other fmit mash is added from a hopper above the frame. The mash is leveled with a hand trowel and the edges of the nylon cloth are folded over the mash to encase it and create a cheese. The frame is removed, and a second rack is placed on top of the first cheese the process is repeated until a stack of cheeses is prepared. A hydrauhc ram then appHes gradually increa sing pressure on the stack and expresses the juice. A high yield of juice (80%) is obtained and no press aid is required. Because this process is labor intensive (17), it is mostly used for small farm and pilot-plant operations. 

ColorFilm. Most color photographic images reproduced on press are made from positive color transparencies known as sHdes. Transparencies are preferred over color prints for reproduction because of superior sharpness, tonal contrast, and color saturation (see Color photography). 

Hydroxyapatite (HA) coating on the surface of the hip stem and the acetabular cup is the most recent advancement in artificial hip joint implant technology. This substance is a form of calcium phosphate, which is sprayed onto the hip implant. It is a material found in combination with calcium carbonate in bone tissue, and bones can easily adapt to it. When bone tissue does grow into HA, the tissue then fixes the hip joint implant permanently in position. These HA coatings are only used in press-fit, noncemented implants. 

Processes 8 and 9 again employ giUs. The purpose is to shuffle the fibers in the combed sUvet to produce a random positional distribution, and thus the most even sUvet possible. The second finisher gilling wiU also incorporate either a baU winding head, or a press that condenses top that has been deUveted into a can. This latter product is caUed bump top. Both baU and bump facUities ate usuaUy necessary to satisfy customers differing needs. Bumps or baUs wUl then be further pressed into bales for shipment. Combed wool destined for processing on the woolen system may be sucked in short lengths from the comb to form broken top.
