Shindo et al. [66] treated 19 healthy volunteers with omeprazole 20 mg, cultured gastric and jejunal aspirate, and determined gastric pH and bile acid metabolism. Although motility studies were not performed, it can be assumed that intestinal migrating motor complexes were normal [21] (fig. 4). Bacterial colonization was defined by species density exceeding 105 CFU/0.5 ml, and only reported for those exceeding this limit. 

Since we are mainly interested in combustion in the gas phase, we must be able to describe reacting gas mixtures. For a thermodynamic mixture, each species fills the complete volume (V) of the mixture. For a mixture of N species, the mixture density (p) is related to the individual species densities (pi) by... 

To consider the control volume form of the conservation of mass for a species in a reacting mixture volume, we apply Equation (2.14) for the system and make the conversion from Equation (3.12). Here we select/ = pt, the species density. In applying Equation (3.13), v must be the velocity of the species. However, in a mixture, species can move by the process of diffusion even though the bulk of the mixture might be at rest. This requires a more careful distinction between the velocity of the bulk mixture and its individual components. Indeed, the velocity v given in Equation (3.13) is for the bulk mixture. Diffusion velocities, Vi, are defined as relative to this bulk mixture velocity v. Then, the absolute velocity of species i is given as...

In the study of biscarbenes and related species, density functional theory (DFT) [52,53] and so-called multiconfigurational (MC) [54] methods have been widely used. 

For example, the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane and propane was examined via UV-visible and Raman spectra. The study investigated the catalytic properties vanadia formulations that possessed a range of VO surface species density (1.4—34.2 V/nm ) on an AI2O3 support. The observations showed increased surface densities, greater than 2.3 V/nm , favored two-dimensional polyvanadates. At lower surface densities, ca. 2.3 V/nm , predominately isolated monovanadate species were observed. Further increasing surface densities to more than 7.0 V/nm yielded V2O5 crystallites. ...

The inelastic processes - spontaneous Raman scattering (usually simply called Raman scattering), nonlinear Raman processes, and fluorescence - permit determination of species densities as well as temperature, and also allow one, in principle, to determine the temperature for particular species whether or not in thermal equilibrium. In Table II, we categorize these inelastic processes by the type of the information that they yield, and indicate the types of combustion sources that can be probed as well as an estimate of the status of the method. The work that we concentrate upon here is that indicated in these first two categories, viz., temperature and major species densities determined from vibrational Raman scattering data. The other methods - fluorescence and nonlinear processes such as coherent anti-Stokes Raman spectroscopy - are discussed in detail elsewhere (5).

In Table IV, we see that established techniques for velocity measurement allow us to determine the average momentum flux, average velocity, turbulent intensities, and shear stress. Next on the list, to complete the flow field description, is the fluctuation mass flux, and first on the combustion field list is the temperature and major species densities of the flame gases. 

Time- and space-resolved fluctuation data for flame gas temperature and major species densities have been obtained from Raman scattering and from stronger inelastic scattering processes. When combined with information about velocity from laser velocimetry, these data and their correlations provide key new information for flow field and combustion field modeling. 

Gedanken Flame Experiment. In order to illustrate how the problems caused by the requirements of temporal and spatial resolution and geometric and physical complexity are translated into computational cost, we have chosen to analyze a gedanken flame experiment. Consider a closed tube one meter long which contains a combustible gas mixture. We wish to calculate how the physical properties such as temperature, species densities, and position of the flame front change after the mixture is ignited at one end. The burning gas can be described, we assume, by a chemical kinetics reaction rate scheme which involves some tens of species and hundreds of chemical reactions, some of which are "stiff."... 

Treatment of wood with polyethylene glycol (PEG) is the most commonly used method to impart dimensional stability to wood. PEG in a water solution can be used to permeate the lumens and penetrate the cell wall. A 30-50 percent solution of PEG in water generally is used on green wood no pressure is required. Treatment times are adjusted so that a uniform uptake of 25-30 percent of PEG is achieved, based on the dry weight of the wood temperatures range from 21 to 60°C. The wood may require weeks of soaking, depending on species, density, and thickness. After treatment, the wood is dried in a well-ventilated space, preferably heated.
