Other excellent summaries describing what is known of the formation processes and geological setting of these deposits have also been assembled (30—32). Listings of nodule compositions for these and other areas have been compiled (33,34). Eor many sites these data are available as computer databases (qv) maintained by the NOAA National Geophysical Data Center in Boulder, Colorado. 

Acid used in the formation process is removed from the batteries and reused. The batteries are washed, fresh acid is added, and the batteries are tested, re-washed, and inspected before being shipped to an on-site warehouse. The intermediate and final washes generate process wastewater, as do the battery repair and housekeeping (floor washing) operations. This wastewater Is pretreated on-site and then piped to the local publicly owned treatment works (POTW). 

This result probably suggests that the immobilization of the Ti-FI catalyst onto MgCl2//-BuAl(OR)3 does not suppress the site inversion process. The Tm of 155 °C represents one of the highest known values for sPPs synthesized at room temperature. The formation of high Tm sPPs is remarkable in view of the tremendous technological significance of such sPPs. 

A kinetic study of Cu underpotential deposition was carried out to determine if it is best described by adsorption processes or by nucleation processes. The nucleation growth process is classified into two categories instantaneous nucleation growth and progressive nucleation growth. In the case of instantaneous nucleation growth, where nucleation site formation is so fast that no other following nucleation sites are created, the number of nucleation sites N(t) is expressed as... 

Proteolytically active P-type subunits are synthesized in an inactive precursor form containing N-terminal extensions of variable lengths, the propeptides, which must be removed posttranslationally to allow the formation of active sites. This process is tied in with the assembly of the 20S proteasome in such a manner, that activation is delayed until assembly is complete and the active sites are sequestered from the cellular environment. Cleavage of the propeptide proceeds autocatalytically, reljdng on the active-site threonine, and the invariant glycine at position -1 appears to be the prime determinant of the cleavage site (Schmidtke et al. 1996 Seemiiller et al. 1996 Chen and Hochstrasser 1996). 

Synergistic phenomena similar to those described for etching are expected during film formation processes. In particular, the creation of adsorption and nucleation sites, along with the promotion of chemical reactions and the dissociation of adsorbed species because of particle bombardment,... 

AP sites may be spontaneous or induced, and can block the replication. Instability of the glycosylic site constitutes the principal cause of AP sites formation. Cellular DNA can undergo puric base losses, estimated at between 250 and 500 per hour. AP sites can be regenerated during reparation processes by base excision and free radicals. 

The catalysis is roughly divided into an adsorptive complex formation process and a reaction process. In kinetical treatment it is necessary to adopt an average profile, although the catalytic site in the nucleophile-containing polymer is multiform.
