Many research opportunities exist for the controlled manipulation of structures of nm dimensions. Advances made in the characterization and manipulation of carbon nanotubes should therefore have a substantial general impact on the science and technology of nanostructures. The exceptionally high modulus and strength of thin multi-wall carbon nanotubes can be used in the manipulation of carbon nanotubes and other nanostructures [212, 213].

Research Opportunities. The presence of a long-lived fluorescing state following either 532 nm or 1064 nm excitation of PuF6(g) provides a valuable opportunity to study the extent to which electronic energy in a 5f electron state is available in photochemical and energy transfer reactions. Such gas phase bimolecular reactions would occur in a weak interaction limit governed by van der Waals forces. Seen from the perspective of potential photochemical separations in fluoride volatility... 

Many technologies have been proposed for detoxifying waste by processes that destroy chemical bonds pyrolytic biological and catalyzed and imcatalyzed reactions with oxygen, hydrogen, and ozone. The following sections deal only with research opportunities in the areas of thermal destmction, biodegradation, separation processes, and wet oxidation.

The structure-activity project at M,I T was originated in collaboration with Dr. Michael C Archer, and has been carried out with Mr. Andrew Edelman, Dr William M Rand, Dr Patricia Kraft, and Ms Vicki Woolworth. We are grateful to the M.I.T Health Sciences Fund, The Marjorie Merriwether Post Foundation, The M.I.T Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program, and the National Institutes of Health (Grants//R01-CA21951, 2-P01-ES00597, and 1-T32-ES-0702), for support ... 

This is not the place to propose topics for future research. The richness of economic reality and its extremely strong dynamics of change in this area, together with the progress made in economic research, provide an almost infinite field of possibilities. Therefore, in this section we merely make a few proposals in an attempt to ensure that these research opportunities are not wasted. 

Research Opportunities with the Caco-2 Ceil Model... 

As with all new techniques that are rapidly embraced by the scientific community, the initial enthusiasm and in some cases uncritical use of Caco-2 cells unravelled the limitations of this in vitro model [7] and other, similar models e.g. [9]. A period of critical evaluation followed and today the majority of researchers using these models are aware not only of their advantages, but also of their limitations. In the following, we will briefly discuss the research opportunities that Caco-2 cells offer and also give a few examples of the successful application of these cell cultures in drug discovery. We will also discuss the limitations of Caco-2 cells and discuss new research that addresses these limitations.
