Surface Sizing. Surface sizing is generally used for modification of other properties of paper or paperboard such as printabiHty, smoothness, porosity, coefficient of friction, opacity, surface strength, anti-linting or coating holdout. Anionic starch is perhaps the most common additive or co-additive used for surface sizing. 

Population balances and crystallization kinetics may be used to relate process variables to the crystal size distribution produced by the crystallizer. Such balances are coupled to the more familiar balances on mass and energy. It is assumed that the population distribution is a continuous function and that crystal size, surface area, and volume can be described by a characteristic dimension T. Area and volume shape factors are assumed to be constant, which is to say that the morphology of the crystal does not change with size. 

The choice of a suitable immobilization method for a given enzyme and appHcation is based on a number of considerations including previous experience, new experiments, enzyme cost and productivity, process demands, chemical and physical stabiHty of the support, approval and safety issues regarding support, and chemicals used. Enzyme characteristics that greatly influence the approach include intra- or extraceUular location size surface properties, eg, charge/pl, lysine content, polarity, and carbohydrate and active site, eg, amino acids or cofactors. The size, charge, and polarity of the substrate should also be considered.

A series of experiments was presented by Ou et al. (2004), which demonstrate significant drag reduction for the laminar flow of water through micro-channels using hydrophobic surfaces with well-defined micron-sized surface roughness.

Fabrication processing of these materials is highly complex, particularly for materials created to have interfaces in morphology or a microstructure [4—5], for example in co-fired multi-layer ceramics. In addition, there is both a scientific and a practical interest in studying the influence of a particular pore microstructure on the motional behavior of fluids imbibed into these materials [6-9]. This is due to the fact that the actual use of functionalized ceramics in industrial and biomedical applications often involves the movement of one or more fluids through the material. Research in this area is therefore bi-directional one must characterize both how the spatial microstructure (e.g., pore size, surface chemistry, surface area, connectivity) of the material evolves during processing, and how this microstructure affects the motional properties (e.g., molecular diffusion, adsorption coefficients, thermodynamic constants) of fluids contained within it. 

The study of how fluids interact with porous solids is itself an important area of research [6], The introduction of wall forces and the competition between fluid-fluid and fluid-wall forces, leads to interesting surface-driven phase changes, and the departure of the physical behavior of a fluid from the normal equation of state is often profound [6-9]. Studies of gas-liquid phase equilibria in restricted geometries provide information on finite-size effects and surface forces, as well as the thermodynamic behavior of constrained fluids (i.e., shifts in phase coexistence curves). Furthermore, improved understanding of changes in phase transitions and associated critical points in confined systems allow for material science studies of pore structure variables, such as pore size, surface area/chemistry and connectivity [6, 23-25],... 

Various finishes can be achieved — gloss, satin (or egg-shell) or matt. This is accomplished by the addition of particles of size 1-5 pm of, for example, silica, china clay or the white pigment, TiCK The degree of mattness depends on various factors, such as particle size, surface treatment of the particles, rate of film formation, and the polymer composition, e.g., urethane/acrylate compared with epoxy/acrylate. The former requires smaller particles larger particles cannot be used as they create a rough surface. 

Particles may be trapped on the biofilm surface or in voids of the biofilm where any organics may be hydrolyzed and further take part in the transformation processes. A number of factors influence adsorption and desorption of particles, such as particle size, surface charge, pH, etc., as well as biofilm surface properties and bulk water flow pattern. Studies of model biofilms have shown that water flows into the biofilm in small channels, making the prediction of transport of particles as well as soluble compounds complex (Norsker et al., 1995).

Attractive for the use of QDs are their long lifetimes (typically 5 ns to hundreds of nanoseconds), compared to organic dyes, that are typically insensitive to the presence of oxygen. In conjunction with time-gated measurements, this provides the basis for enhanced sensitivity [69]. This property can be also favorable for time-resolved applications of FRET. The complicated size-, surface-, and wavelength-dependent, bi- or multi-exponential QD decay behavior (Fig. 2) can complicate... 

Toxicity of DDSNs is a critical concern for their applications in biological samples. The toxicity of DDSNs depends on size, surface modification, and dye molecule... 

The effects of size surface area, shape, purity method of synthesis, charge, surface coating, functionalized groups, and aggregation need to be carefully considered when assessing potential risks of CNT toxicity. Toxicology studies on CNTs should be accompanied by improved control in manufacturing and improved analysis before CNTs can be successfully used for pharmaceutical applications. 

The first subgroup best describes global molecular properties such as size, surface, volume, while the second subgroup describes more and more (as the order of index increases) local structural properties and possibly long-range interactions. 

Besides the packings mentioned above, a range of other stationary phases exists as well, bnt they are rarely used in pharmaceutical analysis. Even with this more limited selection of ligands, packings with quite different selectivities can be created, as in shown in Section III. F. The diversity stems from the choices in the properties of the silica, such as pore volume, pore size, surface area and purity as well as differences in ligand density. Nevertheless, general statements about different phases can be derived, and these are covered in the next section.
