The solutions of these equations are the actions of the periodic orbits J = Jn = JP as well as the prime period Tp, which is the smallest period such that T = T e = rTp (see Fig. 1). Here, r is the repetition number of the prime period that is obtained as the largest integer such that the np = n/r remain integer. In contrast to chaotic systems, the periodic orbits are thus labeled by the F integers n. As a consequence, the periodic orbits proliferate only algebraically,... 

In order to broaden the data base of the limestone DA process and to evaluate the impacts of closed-loop operation, a series of pilot plant tests was conducted under the sponsorship of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency s (EPA) Industrial Environmental Research Laboratory in Research Triangle Park, NC (IERL-RTP). The testing concentrated on evaluating the effects of magnesium and chloride ions since appreciable accumulations of soluble salts containing these two species are expected in a limestone DA system under closed-loop operating conditions. 

Drawbacks of the RTP ports are that they cannot be hooked into the isolator clean in place (CIP) system so, they must always be considered dirty until an adequate cleaning procedure is developed. There are also size limitations to the RTP ports and their corresponding containers. Once a certain size port is selected for the isolator, this is the only diameter container that can be used, unless the isolator port is modified. The port also requires an additional penetration of the isolator wall and serves as another potential point for air leaks. In addition, the RTP containers are not amenable to the transport of flasks into and out of the isolator they require rotation and maneuvering of the RTP container to dock it into the isolator. Unless the port is mounted into the isolator floor, which will take up valuable space, the ability to transport liquids into and out of the isolator is limited to securely closed vials or bottles. The final limitation is the tendency of the seals on the mating surfaces of the RTP ports to become contaminated with potent material during transport operations. Procedures should be put in place to ensure that the mating surfaces of the RTP ports are thoroughly decontaminated as soon as the transport container is undocked from the isolator wall.

FIGURE 2. Three-dimensional structure of conserved residues and the substrate GDP in the active site of E. coli protein R1 (A) (Eriksson et al., 1997), and proposed reaction mechanism for RNR (B), A turnover is initiated by long-range RTF between Tyrl22 in R2 and Cys439 in Rl, and completed by a reversal of this RTP (thin arrows). Oxidised Rl is reduced by the thioredoxin (Trx), or glutaredoxin system. 

Chloride Effect. The effectiveness of adipic acid is not adversely affected by chlorides, as is the effectiveness of MgO in an MgO-enhanced process. Tests at the IERL-RTP pilot plant showed that SO2 removal efficiency obtained with 17,000 ppm chloride in the scrubbing liquor was not significantly different from that obtained without chloride under similar levels of adipic acid concentration. Thus, use of adipic acid is especially attractive for systems with a very tightly closed liquor loop.

As well as continuous development of machine design and especially machine control systems, there has been considerable development of molds. These may be quite simple or very sophisticated, with multiple cavities, moving parts. Since the molding of RTPs is essentially a question of the control of heat transfer, advanced temperature control systems are frequently used, which can repay their additional cost by... 

MS-RTP metal determination mixtures. In this approach, a pulsed radiation source excites the sample and the decay profile is monitored. Thus, it provides a measure of the time dependence of phosphorescence intensity after the excitation pulse, which can also be made as a function of emission wavelength. For a binary system of components, the MS-RTP signal from a rapidly decaying species (e.g., Zn(II)-Ferron chelate in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micelles) and that from a slowly decaying species (e.g., Al(III)-Ferron complex in CTAB micelles) are related through the expressions ... 

Pt- and Pd-coproporphyrin complexes may also be used as labels for antibodies to develop phosphorescence immunoassays. Also, RTP provides a sensitive tool for diagnosis of vascular disorders and image oxygen distribution in cancerous tissues (porphyrins are known to concentrate in tumors). Many other potential uses of RTP in biological systems include the study of processes such as rotational motion, distances, excited state reactions. RTP measurements have an important role in the study of biological systems and areas for future development are apparent.

There is increasing interest in hose forms of construction as a route to manufacturing reinforced thermoplastic pipes (RTP) on a continuous production basis. The most widely used high pressure hoses are composite structures intended to create a flexible, tubular connection within high-pressure fluid systems. The pressure containment is achieved by incorporating textile fibres or steel wires which can carry high stresses whilst the elastomeric or plastic components essentially protect the fibre or wire structures and act as a seal against fluid permeation.
