Research focus

A final area of research focuses on how the piU. can best be used by women. Physicians used to recommend pid-free hoHdays, but it is now known that there is no vaUd reason for this practice. Similarly, further research indicated that the U.S. EDA s restrictive guidelines for prescribing the piU. to women over the age of 35 are not justified, and those guidelines have been changed. EinaHy it is clear that cigarette smoking increases the risk of cardiovascular side effects, especially in women over 35 who utilize combination oral contraceptives. 

VPD-TXRF is also a facile technique for interface analysis [4.78, 4.79]. Automated VPD equipment (Fig. 4.16) improves both the detection limit (upper range 10 atoms cm ) and the reliability (by > 50%) of the VPD-TXRF measurement [4.14]. Current research focuses on sample holders [4.80, 4.81] and light-element detection capability [4.82-4.84]. 

Obviously, with the development of the first catalytic reactions in ionic liquids, the general research focus turned away from basic studies of metal complexes dissolved in ionic liquids. Today there is a clear lack of fundamental understanding of many catalytic processes in ionic liquids on a molecular level. Much more fundamental work is undoubtedly needed and should be encouraged in order to speed up the future development of transition metal catalysis in ionic liquids. 

These two research areas share the common characteristic of involving inorganic solids in the combustion process. Catalytic combustion research focuses on using the solid to facilitate the oxidation of well-known fuels such as hydrogen and methane. Materials synthesis research focuses on using combustion as a means to react the solids either with each other or a gas, such as nitrogen (which in this case acts as an oxidizer), to make new solid materials. 

Most of the recent research focuses on proton, lithium, sodium and potassium batteries. This is not only for the reasons discussed above. The availability of a large variety of electrodes also plays an important role. Furthermore, high voltages rather than high currents are favorable from a practical point of view. 

Much research focuses on the structures, properties, and uses of the complexes formed between d-metal ions acting as Lewis acids and a variety of Lewis bases, partly because they participate in many biological reactions. Hemoglobin and vitamin B12, for example, are both complexes—the former of iron and the latter of cobalt (Box 16.1). Complexes of the d-metals are often brightly colored and magnetic and are used in chemistry for analysis, to dissolve ions (Section 11.13), in the...

The main expectations of industrial researchers focused on improving heat management and increasing safety for hazardous process [71]. 

The following are now expected first, in the CO oxidation electrode potential range on Pt/Ru surfaces (i.e., at low potentials), entrapped oxygen should be found second, the entrapped (subsurface) oxygen concentration between the Ru layers should increase with increasing multilayer character (and coverage) of the Ru deposit on Pt. Research focusing on these two issues is planned.

At this level, research focuses on planning, production engineering and management, supply of material resources, transport waste material processing and maintenance. Energy flows are closely related to the running of these activities that may be affected by production plans, scheduling times and parameters. 

Researchers focused on the metabolically competent human hepatoma cell line HepG2 as a model of human liver. HepG2 cells are a well-known hepatoma cell line that retains many of the morphological characteristics of liver parenchymal cells. This model is often used as a useful tool for HRA/ERA-oriented chemical risk assessment due to the expression of antioxidant and xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes (in particular phase I and phase II enzymes responsible for the bioactivation/detoxification of various xenobiotics) that can be induced or inhibited by dietary and non-dietary agents [28-30]. 

It has around 20 staff and research focuses on the following main activities ...
