Variable-ratio cell

Measurements of photoinhibition of PS2 The ratio of variable to maximal fluorescence, Fv/Fm, was determined using a modulated fluorimeter. Leaves were dark-adapted for 15 min before being exposed to the weak, yellow modulated beam (PPFD 2 pmol m" -1) that produced Fq. White actinic light (PPFD 2500 jjmol m -l), which was saturating for Fv, was used to determine Fm. The atrazine-binding capacity of isolated thylakoids was determined using a previously described method (9). Thylakoids were isolated from mesophyll cells as described previously (10). 

This paper presents a brief review of the literature of nickel-based cermet electrodes for application in solid oxide cells at temperature from 500 to 1000 °C. The applications may be fuel cells or electrolyser cells. Variables that are used for controlling the properties of Ni-cermet-electrodes are (1) Ni/electrolyte volume ratio, (2) additives, e.g. alloying of the Ni or infiltration of the composite with nanoparticles of other elements or compounds, (3) the chemical composition of the electrolyte component and (4) porosity and particle size distribution, which is mainly affected by raw materials morphology, application methods and production parameters such as milling and sintering possibly followed by infiltration of nanosized electrocatalytic active particles. The various electrode properties are deeply related to these parameters, but also much related to the atomic scale structure of the Ni-electrolyte interface, which in turn is affected by segregation of electrolyte components and impurities as well as poisons in the gas phase. 

As with the quadmpole ion trap, ions with a particular m/z ratio can be selected and stored in tlie FT-ICR cell by the resonant ejection of all other ions. Once isolated, the ions can be stored for variable periods of time (even hours) and allowed to react with neutral reagents that are introduced into the trapping cell. In this maimer, the products of bi-molecular reactions can be monitored and, if done as a fiinction of trapping time, it is possible to derive rate constants for the reactions [47]. Collision-induced dissociation can also be perfomied in the FT-ICR cell by tlie isolation and subsequent excitation of the cyclotron frequency of the ions. The extra translational kinetic energy of the ion packet results in energetic collisions between the ions and background... 

Thiamine is present in cells as the free form 1, as the diphosphate 2, and as the diphosphate of the hydroxyethyl derivative 3 (Scheme 1) in variable ratio. The component heterocyclic moieties, 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine (4) and 4-methyl-5-(2-hydroxyethyl)thiazole (5) are also presented in Scheme 1, with the atom numbering. This numbering follows the rules of nomenclature of heterocyclic compounds for the ring atoms, and is arbitrary for the substituents. To avoid the use of acronyms, compound 5 is termed as the thiazole of thiamine or more simply the thiazole. This does not raise any ambiguity because unsubstituted thiazole is encountered in this chapter. Other thiazoles are named after the rules of heterocyclic nomenclature. Pyrimidine 4 is called pyramine, a well established name in the field. A detailed account of the present status of knowledge on the biosynthesis of thiamine diphosphate from its heterocyclic moieties can be found in a review by the authors.1 This report provides only the minimal information necessary for understanding the main part of this chapter (Scheme 2). 

The water-oil ratio is a complex time-dependent function of the state variables since a well can produce oil from several grid cells at the same time. In this case the relationship of the output vector and the state variables is nonlinear of the form y(t,)=h(x(t,)).

The rather time- and cost-expensive preparation of primary brain microvessel endothelial cells, as well as the limited number of experiments which can be performed with intact brain capillaries, has led to an attempt to predict the blood-brain barrier permeability of new chemical entities in silico. Artificial neural networks have been developed to predict the ratios of the steady-state concentrations of drugs in the brain to those of the blood from their structural parameters [117, 118]. A summary of the current efforts is given in Chap. 25. Quantitative structure-property relationship models based on in vivo blood-brain permeation data and systematic variable selection methods led to success rates of prediction of over 80% for barrier permeant and nonper-meant compounds, thus offering a tool for virtual screening of substances of interest [119].
