Merck Research Laboratories designed and prepared a class of highly potent 1,4-benzodiazepines with y-secretase inhibitory activity that incorporated a substituted hydrocinnamide unit at C(3) in (35)-l (Scheme 6.5) [21, 22]. 

In a research laboratory designed to evaluate the effect of process and catalyst variables on the structure of the polyethylene produced, it is necessary to utilize an experimental design in which as many as 16 polymerizations may be carried out simultaneously in a high-throughput mode.

Atomic-scale devices already projected pose design challenges at tlie quantum mechanical level. The framework of quantum computing is now being discussed in research laboratories [48, 49]. 

Control laboratories in the canned food industry are usually divorced from the research organization to a lesser degree than is the case in the chemical and allied industries. For this reason, a closer relationship exists between the problems of the control laboratory and the research laboratory. Although from a research standpoint this condition is often considered undesirable, it has considerable merit in the case of the canned food industry, in which production may be seasonal and often of rather short duration. The collection of control data in many instances may also serve for research purposes—for example, in the case of soil analyses, which may be correlated with agricultural research designed to improve crop yields. Because the variables which affect the quality of canned foods must usually be investigated rather extensively, and often over a period of more than one year, the application of statistical methods to data collected for control purposes can conceivably make a substantial contribution to a research program. 

No proposal for a laboratory ventilation system should be requested without a thorough study of the work to be performed. A once-through system may not always be required. The manager of a research laboratory, working closely with a designer, discovered that 50% recirculation would be permissible in their new building. While this is even less than in offices and stores, it proved to be adequate for their type of work. He would not recommend this ratio for other laboratories without a careful study. 

The TPD unit was constructed at the Signal UOP Research Laboratory. It Includes a Carle 111 H gas chromatograph with Pd/Ag hydrogen separator, Leeds Northrup temperature programmer, Bascom-Turner 8000 series recorder with data processing and storage capabilities and a custom designed quartz reactor.

Although w/o-ME-based LLE has many advantages for bioseparations, sueh as a rapid rate and its ability to be sealed-up, further work is needed to improve seleetivity, capacity, versatility, and biocompatibility. In addition, current methods to recover w/o-ME-encapsulated species are insufficient and/or are not adaptable to a wide variety of situations. Furthermore, although large-scale and continuous operation has been demonstrated (Table 3) [15,28,85,89,92-101], the ability to predict operation a priori, i.e., the generation of the necessary theory and equations required to design such equipment, has not yet been achieved. However, work is ongoing in several research laboratories worldwide to solve these problems.

The applied research laboratory has developed a new substance that they feel has great potential as a gasoline additive. It improves the antiknock characteristics of gasoline, and does not noticeably increase the amount of air pollution. The marketing department estimates that within 5 years the market could reach 10,000,000 lb / yr. The process engineer is asked to design a plant to produce 10,000,000 lb / yr (4,500,000 kg / yr). 

As time goes on, more and more people are being involved in these types of plant design. Most chemical companies estimate that 50% of their profits 10 years hence will come from products not currently known to their research laboratories. Since these will compete with other products now on the market, there will be a great need for improving present processes and estimating a rival s financial status. 

WASP/TOXIWASP/WASTOX. The Water Quality Analysis Simulation Program (WASP, 3)is a generalized finite-difference code designed to accept user-specified kinetic models as subroutines. It can be applied to one, two, and three-dimensional descriptions of water bodies, and process models can be structured to include linear and non-linear kinetics. Two versions of WASP designed specifically for synthetic organic chemicals exist at this time. TOXIWASP (54) was developed at the Athens Environmental Research Laboratory of U.S. E.P.A. WASTOX (55) was developed at HydroQual, with participation from the group responsible for WASP. Both codes include process models for hydrolysis, biolysis, oxidations, volatilization, and photolysis. Both treat sorption/desorption as local equilibria. These codes allow the user to specify either constant or time-variable transport and reaction processes. 

Experimental systems are devices designed by research laboratory. Up to now, they are not commercial devices.
