Site flexibility

Overall, protein activity is affected by four major factors a) the ground state, thermodynamic stabilization of the protein, b) active site flexibility response to solvent polarity and adsorbed water content, c) the impact of water stripping from the protein on the active conformation and d) direct solvent induced perturbation of the protein (Dordick, 1992).

Shouldering the function of fuel breeding makes power reactor more complex, less economical and potentially less safe therefore, the functions of fuel breeding and power production could be separated, which would allow power reactors to be more simple, size- and site-flexible ... 

The Flory-Huggins theory uses the lattice model to arrange the polymer chains and solvents. We have looked at the lattice chain model in Section 1.4 for an excluded-volume chain. Figure 2.1 shows a two-dimensional version of the lattice model. The system consists of si,e sites. Each site can be occupied by either a monomer of the polymer or a solvent molecule (the monomer and the solvent molecule occupies the same volume). Double occupancy and vacancy are not allowed. A hnear polymer chain occupies N sites on a string of N-l bonds. There is no preference in the direction the next bond takes when a polymer chain is laid onto the lattice sites (flexible). Polymer chains consisting of N monomers are laid onto empty sites one by one until there are a total tip chains. Then, the unoccupied sites are filled with solvent molecules. The volume fraction of the polymer is related to rip by... 

Where the usage does not justify a complex manifolded distribution system then a combination of cartridges and transfer pump can be employed to advantage. The adhesive is transferred from the 22-5 or 200 litre bulk supply containers into the cartridges at the user s site, thus obtaining the benefits of larger container costs and the on-site flexibility of the cartridge. 

SMRs offer the advantage of lower initial capital investment, scalability, and siting flexibility at locations unable to accommodate larger reactors, hi addition, SMRs have enhanced safety and security through the following attributes ...
