A pseudorotaxane is the supramolecular product of the self-assembly of two components (i.e., a [2]pseudorotaxane), a molecular ring (macrocycle) and a molecular wire (thread) threaded into it. The occurrence of specific interactions between the two components lowers the free energy of the assembled system with respect to the separate components and drives the self-assembly of the pseudorotaxane (threading process). Threading occurs generally in solution and, upon changes of solvent... 

The relationship between processes, threads, and processors within a node. Each process has its own memory space shared among one or more threads. The threads are mapped to processors by the operating system. 

In EBM, a hollow molten plastic cylinder, called a parison, is clamped in a mold and blown into a bottle that is finally trimmed. In the blowing process, threads for screw caps and handles are produced. The most common bottles using this technique are milk bottles, which are produced from HOPE. An advantage of... 

In addition, embedded sterns are comp>osed of software and hardware components which require that the modeling needs of both domains are well addressed. These needs include the specification of all types of software elements (such as processes, threads, communication among software elements and shared data), hardware elements ( for instance processors, memory and physical communication channels), and most importantly the mapping of software elements to hardware elements. Additionally support is required for describing system dynamics. These dynamics may include system flows, system states and run-time interactions among system components. 

Among other colloidal metals tungsten deserves mention because of its importance in electric light bulbs. A method for making the material for these filaments has been worked out by Kuzel. The colloidal metal is obtained by continued grinding and by alternate treatments with acid and alkafi. By this process the particles become so small that the metal finally forms a hydrosol. On precipitation of the sol a plastic mass is obtained that is next pressed out through fine holes, by which process threads are formed. The lamps are economical and last longer than the old varieties. Molybdenum, silicon, titanium, and thorium may be prepared in a colloidal state by the same method. 

A SLIM model is hierarchically organized into components, distinguished into software (processes, threads, data), hardware (processors, memories, devices, buses), and composite components. Components are defined by their type (specifying the functional interfaces as seen by the environment) and their implemen-tot on(representing the internal structure). The implementation part contains ... 

Periodic Thread. First rule (table 1) in our transformation description concerns AADL thread. Every implementation of thread component is presented with an LNT process . It has a set of gate declarations corresponding to AADL ports with a set of parameters corresponding to AADL temporal properties like execution time, input/output time, period and priority. 

Nucleic acids are acidic substances present m the nuclei of cells and were known long before anyone suspected they were the primary substances involved m the storage transmission and processing of genetic information There are two kinds of nucleic acids ribonucleic acid (RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) Both are complicated biopolymers based on three structural units a carbohydrate a phosphate ester linkage between carbohydrates and a heterocyclic aromatic compound The heterocyclic aro matic compounds are referred to as purine and pyrimidine bases We 11 begin with them and follow the structural thread... 

Fine Powder Resins. Fine powder PTFE resins are extremely sensitive to shear. They must be handled gendy to avoid shear, which prevents processing. However, fine powder is suitable for the manufacture of tubing and wire insulation for which compression molding is not suitable. A paste-extmsion process may be appHed to the fabrication of tubes with diameters from fractions of a millimeter to about a meter, walls from thicknesses of 100—400 )J.m, thin rods with up to 50-mm diameters, and cable sheathing. Calendering unsintered extmded soHd rods produces thread-sealant tape and gaskets. 

Different resins have been developed for use in different reduction—ratio appHcation ranges (111,112). The powders suitable for high reduction—ratio appHcations, such as wire coatings, are not necessarily suitable for the medium reduction—ratio appHcations, such as tubings, or the low reduction—ratio appHcations, such as thread-sealant tapes or pipe liners. AppHcations and processing techniques are being used, which utilize the unique combination of properties offered by PTFE in fine powder form (113—115). 

Small, complex-shaped glass articles such as thread guides for the textile industry and television gun mounts for the electronics industry are made by the multiform process. The dry-milled powder is mixed with an inorganic binder and a fluid vehicle, and then atomi2ed by a spray dryer into small, dried agglomerates of glass powder and binder with good flow characteristics. They are subsequently pressed to the desired shape and fired. 

With a batch process, such as hot isostatic compaction (HIP), heat exchange as used in a continuous reactor is not possible, and it is common practice to provide a furnace within the pressure vessel which is thermally insulated to ensure that the temperature of the vessel does not rise above 300°C. Most HIP operations involve gas pressures in the range 70—200 MPa (10—29,000 psi) and temperatures of 1250—2000°C, occasionally 2250°C (74). The pressure vessel may have a bore diameter from 27 to 1524 mm (75) and is nearly always provided with threaded closures sealed with O-rings made of elastomer provided the temperature is low enough. 

In most spinning processes, the fiber emerging from the spinneret is drawn down to a desired dimension before complete solidification. In some production lines, a laser beam is uti1i2ed to monitor the dimensions of emerging thread any alteration is recorded and if required, the dope deHvery rate, take-up rate, and internal-injection medium deHvery rate are adjusted automaticaUy. 

The injection mol ding process eliminates the restriction of straight-sided components required when parts are ejected from a die, and offers opportunities for external undercuts and threads. A wide variety of alloys can be processed, including alloy steels and stainless steels. Material properties of injection molded parts are available (32). 

Prior to deposition on a moving belt or screen, the molten polymer threads from a spinnerette must be attenuated to orient the molecular chains of the fibers in order to increase fiber strength and decrease extendibiUty. This is accompHshed by hauling the plastic fibers off immediately after they have exited the spinnerette. In practice this is done by accelerating the fibers either mechanically (18) or pneumatically (17,19,20). In most processes, the fibers are pneumatically accelerated in multiple filament bundles however, other arrangements have been described wherein a linearly aligned row(s) of individual filaments is pneumatically accelerated (21,22). 

This process uses coUated signatures that ate sewn on special machines which pass thread through the folds of each signature and ate knotted at the back Glue is appHed to the spine and hard covets ate attached. Finished books ate then dried in special hydraulic presses. 

Commercial and Artificial Processing. Commercially, silkworm cocoons are extracted in hot soapy water to remove the sticky sericin protein. The remaining fibroin or stmctural sdk is reeled onto spools, yielding approximately 300—1200 m of usable thread per cocoon. These threads can be dyed or modified for textile appUcations. Production levels of sdk textiles in 1992 were 67,000 metric tons worldwide. The highest levels were in China, at 30,000 t, foUowed byJapan, at 17,000 t, and other Asian and Oceanian countries, at 14,000 t (24). Less than 3000 metric tons are produced annually in each of eastern Europe, western Europe, and Latin America almost no production exists in North America, the Middle East, or Africa. 1993 projections were for a continued worldwide increase in sdk textile production to 75,000 metric tons by 1997 and 90,000 metric tons by 2002 (24).
