Restricted volume

Every method, with the exception of imaging technologies, provides the measurement of an equivalent spherical diameter in one form or another. The spherical diameter information can be deduced indirectiy from the behavior of the particles passing through restricted volumes or channels under the influence of gravity or centrifugal force fields, and from interaction with many forms of radiation. 

The surface culture technique is undoubtedly easier to perform and cheaper to install. The restricted volumes of die system are, however, a disadvantage. 

Complications arise, mainly because of secondary flows in cells of restricted volume. Such steady secondary flows occur also by the action of vibrating electrodes, leading to the mass transfer rates correlated in the previous subsection. 

It is well known that liposomes are good candidates for controlled reactions. As lipid-based colloids, they have been used to mimic biomineralization processes [99,100], while as restricted volumes, they have been used as microreactors to synthesize... 

Since microgels are intramolecularly crosslinked macromolecules of colloidal dimensions, it is necessary for their synthesis to control the size of the growing crosslinked molecules. This can be achieved by carrying out polymerization and crosslinking in a restricted volume, i.e. that of a micelle or of a polymer coil. Thus, two general methods of microgel synthesis are available (1) emulsion polymerization, and (2) solution polymerization. 

The Vd data suggest a restricted volume of distribution, but this value was higher than the strict intravascular plasma volume (30 mL kg in the rabbit) and the value measured in the rat for P749. 

The methods used to control NHS medicines expenditure have been on both the supply side by attempting to reduce costs and the demand side by attempting to restrict volume. The 10 distinct measures taken by successive UK governments since 1948 to attempt to do this will be reviewed in chronological order. 

A comparison of the entropies of hydration of Na +, Mg2+ and Al3+ shows that they become much more negative as the positive charge on the cation increases. The increasing charge would be expected to be more and more effective in restricting the movement of water molecules, and there would be more water molecules participating in the restricted volume of the hydration spheres of the ions. The decreasing ionic radius in the series amplifies the trend. 

Mg2+. They are attracted to the negative charges on the polynucleotide backbone and, although they remain mobile, they tend to occupy a restricted volume.175 177 Some may bind in well-defined locations as in Fig. 5-8. Because of the presence of these positive ions the interactions of nucleic acids with cationic groups of proteins are strongly affected by the salt concentration. 

The results of PM3-computations were used to calculate the density of one-electron states (DOS) for all considered vacancies and defect. The shapes of all calculated DOS are very similar each one to other, and small distinctions can be revealed only by the using of some kind of differential method based on comparison of the shape of given DOS with any etalon DOS. We can t discuss here the results of similar analysis because the restricted volume of the paper. 

Because non-bonded atoms do not penetrate, a geometric model has much more effective space than the real molecules have. This important restricted volume limitation makes an elegant mathematical formulation impossible and was taken into account by Tuinstra in his final calculations. 

Decomposition of (3), which might be formed from (1) or (2), can result in the formation of styrene or may lead to chain end unsaturation and neighboring ring protonation. Hydride abstraction by (3) would result in a saturated chain end. The lack of significant styrene production from any of the PS-catalyst samples suggests that P-scission of (3) to form styrene is not a dominant decomposition pathway at low temperatures. Chain end unsaturation derived from (3) may result in formation of indenes, which were detected in substantial amounts only when HZSM-5 catalyst was present. The restricted volume... 

No material would fit the above capillary model, but most solids have regions where the surface-arca-to-volume ratio inside the solid is greater than other regions. The water will migrate from regions of low area to regions of high area-to-volume ratios. This model can be approximated by equivalent capillaries of radius and the water will be held in a restricted volume or cell. 

The intricate network of biochemical reactions occurring within the restricted volume of the liver cell requires subtly controlled metabolic regulatory mechanisms. (28) These occur on four levels (7.) at the molecular level, (2.) within the organelles, (3.) at the cellular level, and (4.) at the organ level. 

Low molecular weight antioxidants react with ROS in cell compartments which for some reasons are lack of antioxidant enzymes. Thus, suppression of bifurcate chain reactions of lipid peroxidation in hydrophobic core of cell membrane is mostly effectively performed by vitamin E (a-tocopherol). Interaction of lipid molecules with hydroxyl radical in the absence of vitamin E results in bifurcation of oxidative processes and formation of peroxyl and alcoxyl radicals. They are quickly accumulated in the restricted volume of the membrane and reaction began to be uncontrolled. a-Tocopherol interacts with peroxyl radicals with high affinity, reduces them and is then oxidized itself into relatively nonactive phenoxyl radical [8]. The latter can be accumulated within the bilayer until it will be returned to initial state by reduction by ascorbate [9]. Pair Vitamin E - Vitamin C is a good example of a mutual interaction between hydrophobic and hydrophilic low molecular weight antioxidants. Recently, tight relations were demonstrated for several natural antioxidants which interaction balances the red/ox state of the cell [3.5.10-12]. Figure 4 demonstrates such interaction between some of them. 

Mg +. They are attracted to the negative charges on the polynucleohde backbone and, although they remain mobile, they tend to occupy a restricted volume. 

A major difference may exist between HA in vivo and HA chains that are extricated from the in situ situation. Very little is known about the properties of the HA within the narrow confines of the ECM or the restricted volume of the intercellular space. However, when HA undergoes aqueous extraction from major sources, such as from the mucoid layer of the rooster comb, from joint fluid, the perivascular space of the umbilical cord (Wharton s jelly), or from bacterial capsules, the extraction fluid has very high viscoelasticity. Such HA is in a random coil conformation. However, HA is unlikely to be in such a conformation in vivo, and little is known about the state of the HA within tight tissue spaces. It is probably much more structured, and probably has many additional functions that are unknown and lost when examined in vitro [15].
