The derrick or mast must also be designed to withstand wind loads. Wind loads are imposed by the wind acting on the outer and inner surfaces of the open structure. When designing for wind loads, the designer must consider that the drill pipe or other tubulars may be out of the hole and stacked in the structure. This means that there will be loads imposed on the structure by the pipe weight (i.e., setback load) in addition to the additional loads imposed by the wind. The horizontal forces due to wind are counteracted by the lattice structure that is firmly secured to the structure s foundation. Additional support to the structure can be accomplished by the guy lines attached to the structure and to a dead man anchor some distance away from it. The dead man anchor is buried in the ground to firmly support the tension loads in the guy line. The guy lines are pretensioned when attached to the dead man anchor.

We have no such pretensions in this book but we do hope to help you to understand how neurotransmitters may be involved in brain function and more particularly how their activity is modified by disease and drugs. As the above quotation implies, this will mean considering the synaptic characteristics of each neurotransmitter, but before we do so, it is important to consider some more general and basic aspects of neurotransmitter function. Thus ... 

Carothers was regarded as Illinois best organic chemistry student, equally good at physical chemistry, mathematics, physics, and laboratory techniques. Moreover, as Adams put it, Carothers was a lovable man. Despite his obvious talents, he was without artifice or pretense. Nevertheless, when Carothers savings ran out after a year, he had to leave Illinois to earn money teaching at the University of South Dakota, where the ever-faithful Pardee had arranged a position. 

Environmental Lead Contamination in December of 1965. More than half of its 32 participants represented the lead industry or federal health and research groups from Ohio and Michigan, strongholds of the automobile industry near Kehoe s laboratory. Attendees abandoned any pretense at neutrality and let their emotions and biases bubble over. Perhaps it s because the trigger, Dr. Patterson s article, is so obviously an emotional article, an observer commented. 

We have given up the pretense that we can cover controller design and still have time to do all the plots manually. We rely on MATLAB to construct the plots. For example, we take a unique approach to root locus plots. We do not ignore it like some texts do, but we also do not go into the hand sketching details. The same can be said with frequency response analysis. On the whole, we use root locus and Bode plots as computational and pedagogical tools in ways that can help to understand the choice of different controller designs. Exercises that may help such thinking are in the MATLAB tutorials and homework problems. 

Fig. 1 The fluorescence spectrum of pollen from plant species Hieracium canadense and Phleum pretense.

Procedure As Phleum pretense produces much more pollen thanElieracium species and previous work, I have focused my limited efforts in this area of research on P. pratense. The author still uses simple ion-exchange chromatography to extract pigments and in P. pratense, most of these are flavonoids. 

At present, it has only been possible to isolate and identify high concentrations of one compound, isorhamnetin, from pollen of Phleum pretense using high-speed counter-current chromatography. This does not reflect the lack of proper technology, but rather the preparation, time and expense of isolating cryptic and perhaps ephemeral compounds via techniques involving more sophisticated HPLC and mass spectrometry. Consistent with the author s earlier hypothesis that an isorhamnetin class... 

One key issue is why Phleum pretense does not exhibit autotoxicity. Its pollen does fluoresce at 520 nm on conspecific stigma but it is possible that this masks more subtle changes in pollen chemistry or metabolism and detoxification of conspecific allelochemicals, in situ. Therefore, it is yet to be elucidated if the specific mechanism prevents autotoxicity though the... 

The Smoluchowski-Levich approach discounts the effect of the hydrodynamic interactions and the London-van der Waals forces. This was done under the pretense that the increase in hydrodynamic drag when a particle approaches a surface, is exactly balanced by the attractive dispersion forces. Smoluchowski also assumed that particles are irreversibly captured when they approach the collector sufficiently close (the primary minimum distance 5m). This assumption leads to the perfect sink boundary condition at the collector surface i.e. cp 0 at h Sm. In the perfect sink model, the surface immobilizing reaction is assumed infinitely fast, and the primary minimum potential well is infinitely deep.

The present article is an attempt to bridge this mathematical gap, and also to present the theory as far as possible in a unified form, including together the cases of achiral and of chiral ligands. It is hoped that it will help to make the theory more easily accessible to readers with only a normal chemist s knowledge of group theory. Up to now, the only exposition of this work addressed to such readers has been the short account by Ruch 8>. While an excellent informal introduction to some of the ideas, however, Ruch s article makes no pretense of developing the full theory in a systematic way. Thus, it is believed that the present article can serve a useful purpose.

We have. . . about thirteen million Negroes,... a rather special and acute problem, possibly destined to be the ultimate and most severe test of our forming culture, of our pretensions to democracy—a test which the country will be able to meet, I feel, only if the white elements soon begin to solve the problems among themselves. 

The balcony on which he sat was common to each of the rooms in front of the motel, although there was a pretense of separation by planter pots and decorative fences. When the occupant of the room next door also came out on to the balcony it was very easy for Dr. Wharton to greet him in a friendly fashion. In fact, it would have been almost rude not to do so. 

In this short discussion we have made no pretense of exhausting all the possibilities, but enough has been said to make it clear that inter-individual differences in needs for specific nutrients can be genetically determined in many different ways. These different factors can, in fact, be superimposed on one another in specific individuals... 

So when this approach is used for carcinogens, it takes into account the no-threshold hypothesis (it predicts a risk at all exposures greater than zero), but there should be no pretense that we have arrived at an accurate prediction of risk. The LNT is the default used for carcinogens for low-dose extrapolation. 

And before all that, Tokyo its outer-planet atmosphere, the pretension of fitting into the work cycle. How inhuman does one become in an inhuman situation for a little while The nights on the trains. The airless rooms of the Akihabara English language schools. Tokyo demanded the spending of money, the saving of which was the only way out.
