Some General Characteristics

Porosities of membrane components vary widely and values are reported ranging from 20 to 60%. Commonly, values of 30-40% are used. Pore sizes range from macropores ( 500 nm) via mesopores (20-500 nm) to micropores ( 2 nm). A great problem is the lack of reliable measurement methods to measure the porosity and pore size distribution of supported membranes (see Chapter 4).

Wastewater characteristics vaiy widely from industiy to industry. Obviously, the specific characteristics will affec t the treatment techniques chosen for use in meeting discharge requirements. Some general characteristics that should be considered in planning are given in Table 25-33. Because of the large number of pollutant substances, wastewater characteristics are not usually considered on a substance-...

By a statistical model of a solution we mean a model which does not attempt to describe explicitly the nature of the interaction between solvent and solute species, but simply assumes some general characteristic for the interaction, and presents expressions for the thermodynamic functions of the solution in terms of an assumed interaction parameter. The quasi-chemical theory is of this type, and we have noted that a serious deficiency is its failure to consider the vibrational effects in the solution. It is of interest, therefore, to consider briefly the average-potential model which does include the effect of vibrations. 

The form of the solution of the dispersion equation (11.61) depends on the sign of the determinant D = q + Pl, i.e., on the values of the characteristic parameters g and P. The latter are determined by the physical properties of the liquid and its vapor, as well as the values of the Peclet number. This allows us to use g and P as some general characteristics of the problem considered here.

Waste treatment technologies for incineration and landfill of PVC are present in the ecoinvent database. The material specific burdens for the waste treatment are calculated by a supporting spreadsheet. Necessary data for the calculation of the burden are, e.g. element composition, water content, energy content, degradability in landfill, etc. Note that the Ecoinvent waste management model estimates emissions based on the element composition and some general characteristics of the materials (like degradability). Detailed characteristics, like the mobility of DEHP from PVC, are not taken into account. Therefore additional assumptions have been made for the emission of DEHP from landfill of PVC. 

This technology has already been described. Some general characteristics The gasifier is a two-stage pressure shell lined with refractory material in which coal to be gasified is injected as a preheated slurry. The dry coal concentrations in the slurry range from 50 to 70 wt%, depending on the inherent moisture and quality of the feed. Part of the... 

Within the lanthanides the first ones from La to Eu are the so-called light lanthanides, the other are the heavy ones. Together with the heavy lanthanides it may be useful to consider also yttrium the atomic dimensions of this element and some general characteristics of its alloying behaviour are indeed very similar to those of typical heavy lanthanides, such as Dy or Ho. An important subdivision within the lanthanides, or more generally within the rare earth metals, is that between the divalent ones (europium and ytterbium which have been described together with other divalent metals in 5.4) and the trivalent ones (all the others, scandium and yttrium included). 

There are some general characteristics of diazotizations which should be mentioned at the beginning of this section. They are related to the amounts of acid and of nitrosating reagents to be used, and to the reaction temperature. 

Fig. 1 also may be used to note some general characteristics of C spectra of carbohydrate polymers ( -11) Chemical shifts of anomeric carbons (C-l), in the region of 100-110 p.p.m., are typically well separated from other signals. As compared with C-l of the related monosaccharides (12-15)j the anomeric carbon is strongly deshielded (commonly by 7-10 p.p.m.) through glycoside formation (9)> i.e., by the change from 0-H to an 0-C bond. 

The difficulty lies in the nature of the functional itself. Up to this point, we have indicated that there are mappings from the density onto the Hamiltonian and the wave function, and hence the energy, but we have not suggested any mechanical means by which the density can be used as an argument in some general, characteristic variational equation, e.g., with terms along the lines of Eqs. (8.5) and (8.7), to determine the energy directly without recourse to the wave function. Such an approach first appeared in 1965.

Skin varies greatly from one species to the next, but there are some general characteristics that all skin shares. It has a layered structure of specialized cells, and can contain hair follicles, pigments, scales, blood vessels, nerves, and glands. 

There are two types of convection, free and forced (Holman, 2009 Incropera et al., 2007 Kreith and Bohn, 2007). Free (natural) convection occurs when the heat transferred from a leaf causes the air outside the unstirred layer to warm, expand, and thus to decrease in density this more buoyant warmer air then moves upward and thereby moves heat away from the leaf. Forced convection, caused by wind, can also remove the heated air outside the boundary layer. As the wind speed increases, more and more heat is dissipated by forced convection relative to free convection. However, even at a very low wind speed of 0.10 m s-1, forced convection dominates free convection as a means of heat loss from most leaves (0.10 m s-1 = 0.36 km hour-1 = 0.22 mile hour-1). We can therefore generally assume that heat is conducted across the boundary layer adjacent to a leaf and then is removed by forced convection in the surrounding turbulent air. In this section, we examine some general characteristics of wind, paying particular attention to the air boundary layers adjacent to plant parts, and introduce certain dimensionless numbers that can help indicate whether forced or free convection should dominate. We conclude with an estimate of the heat conduction/convection for a leaf.

The purpose of this chapter is to present overviews of a selection of the major endothelial and epithelial barriers to drug delivery for which there are either primary culture or cell line systems that recapitulate the characteristics of the in vivo barrier. Our objective is to define some general characteristics of cell culture models and highlight the more commonly applied primary cell cultures and cell lines in use today. Specifically, we focus on cell culture models for the intestinal epithelium, blood-brain barrier, pulmonary and nasal epithelium, ocular epithelium, placental barrier, and renal epithelium. Renal epithelium was included here primarily because some cell lines derived from this tissue [e.g., Madin-Darby canine kidney cells (MDCK)] are often used as surrogates for other barriers by pharmaceutical scientists. We have arbitrarily chosen to exclude the skin and liver from the scope of this overview. However, it should be noted that hepatocyte cell culture models, for example, are becoming more widely available and have been the subject of recent reviews.1,2... 

Elemental composition is an important chemical property which can be used to establish the nature and source of humic substances. When the percent composition data are displayed as the atom ratios H C, 01C, and NIC, some general characteristics become visible. Soil, coal, marine, and aquatic humates may be distinguished, one from the other. Structural trends may be identified in specific environments, such as lake sediments and soil profiles. Nonhumate contaminants can be detected. Atom ratios may also aid the investigator in proposing hypothetical structures for humic and fulvic acids and serve as a guide in the synthesis of artificial humates. 

Se chemical shifts span a wide range of ca. 3300 ppm the extremes are marked by selenoaldehydes, some molybdenum selenides, and cationic heterocycles (up to S = 2434) at the high-frequency end and bridging selenium (p) in tungsten complexes (3 = —900) at the low-frequency end. A detailed discussion of electronic influences on Se chemical shifts and its variation in different classes of compounds has been published. In the following, some general characteristic tendencies are collected.

The present author has investigated the photochemistry of alkyl ketones adsorbed on porous Vycor glass to examine how the reactivity of the excited states or of the radical species themselves varies when they are formed on the solid surfaces. In those studies, we have found that the photochemical reactivities of adsorbed alkyl ketones are markedly different from those in the gas phase, leading to some general characteristics of the photochemistry in the adsorbed layer (5-13). 

There is no need to give a thorough description of the chemistry of hindered nitroxyl radicals as it has been fully discussed in a number of summaries including the papers written by the authors of the present communication (18,19,29-37). This paper is aimed at giving some general characteristics of the chemical properties of nitroxyl radicals and the methods for their synthesis. 

Tables 4.9-4.14 show some general characteristics of polyether polyol PO-EO block copolymers, such as MW, hydroxyl number, functionality, viscosity and colour, but also some other characteristics such as unsaturation, EO content, and potassium and sodium content which are specific for polyether polyols.

As stated previously, the functional performance of food proteins as ingredients is dictated by surface characteristics, including hydropho-bicity, electrostatic, and steric parameters [100]. All of these properties can be modified by the processing utilized to provide a concentrated food protein ingredient. Although the process modification that influences the functionality of a food protein will be specific to the type of protein processed, there are some general characteristics that apply equally to all common food proteins. These include...
