Shorting stick

Salts of Pt-ammine cations with three different anions, i.e. [Pt(NH3)4](HC03)2, [Pt(NH3)4](Cl)2, [Pt(NH3)4](OH)2 have been used as templates. Although the cationic complex remained unchanged, the morphologies of the templating salt fibers are quite different. The salt with the anion (HC03) exhibits mainly pm-long needles, with diameters around 120 nm. In contrast, with the OH anion predominately short sticks with... 

For this method of strangling an opponent to death, you need a piece of flexible wire or a piece of cord about three feet in length. Approach the enemy from his rear, holding an end of the wire or cord in eadi hand. Toss the wire or cord over his neck from his left and place the heel of your left hand, still holding the end of the wire or cord, on his shoulder near his nape. At the same time, place your knee in the small of the man s back and pull back on the cord or wire forcefully with your right hand while pushing with the left hand (fig. 48). If this is done quickly, your opponent cannot cry out. You can tie the ends of the rope or wire around two short sticks for a better hold. 

Short sticks or lengths of bamboo laid parallel to a road or trail usually mean the road or trail Is free of mines or boobytraps. 

As in the case of many systems, the moiphology of the oxide or oxohydroxide particles is strongly dependent on the experimental conditions. However, it seems that small spherical crystalline particles (about 20 A in diameter) are always formed initially [37,35]. Aggregation and di,ssolution-crystallization equilibria eventually lead to a change in morphology (from spheres to short sticks), as well as to higher crystallinity. 

Reflux a mixture of 68 g. of anhydrous zinc chloride (e.g., sticks), 40 ml. (47 -5 g.) of concentrated hydrochloric acid and 18-5 g. (23 ml.) of sec.-butyl alcohol (b.p. 99-100°) in the apparatus of Fig. 777, 25, 1 for 2 hours. Distil oflF the crude chloride untU the temperature rises to 100°. Separate the upper layer of the distillate, wash it successively with water, 5 per cent, sodium hydroxide solution and water dry with anhydrous calcium chloride. Distil through a short column or from a Claisen flask with fractionating side arm, and collect the fraction of b.p. 67-70° some high boiling point material remains in the flask. Redistil and collect the pure cc. butyl chloride at 67-69°. The yield is 15 g. 

These short times are significant when considering that a standard FCCU slide valve will probably move at 1 in./sec—if it doesn t stick. 

Where a valve is closed by the action of a falling weight, a short free fall should be allowed before the weight begins to close the valve. This assists in overcoming any tendency for the valve to stick in the open position.

A common problem in Anglo Saxon England, as well as much of contemporary Europe, was the way cloth merchants could so easily cheat the common people. At a market, it was all too easy to ask for a yard of cloth, to see it measured against the merchant s yardstick, and pay for the cloth only to get home to learn just how short the merchant s stick was. Paying for 10 yards and coming home with only 9 yards was common, it seems and the problem was not restricted to just cloth, but also to leather and timber. 

As you can see from Fig. 18, that single number is the width of the stopper at its top. There is no mention of the length, and you can see that it is too short. The T19 stopper does not fit theT19/22 joint. Only the T19/22 stopper can fit the T19/22 joint. Single-number stoppers are commonly used with volumetric flasks. Again, they will leak or stick if you put them in a double-number joint. 

If you want to measure the pressure in your vacuum distillation setup, you ll need a closed-end manometer. There are a few different types, but they all work essentially the same way. I ve chosen a stick type (Fig. 75). This particular model needs help from a short length of rubber tubing and a glass T to get connected to the vacuum distillation setup. 

Fig. 4. The molecular structure, determined by solution NMR (James et al., 1997), of Syrian hamster 90-231 (SHa90-231) prion with ball-and-stick representation of the HI domain (SHal09-122 MKHMAGAAAAGAW). Note that two short /(-chains (SI, S2) nearly stack in the hydrogen-bonding direction. If the palindromic polyalanine region was also in a /(-conformation, there would be a three-stranded /(-sheet. The structural difference between PrPc and PrPSc is in the 90-145 domain. [Model drawn using MOLSCRIPT (Kraulis, 1991)].
