Species-dependent

The ability to identify different mass species depends on the energy resolution of the detector which is typically 15 keV fiill width at half maximum (FWFIM). For example, silver has a mass M2 = 108 and tin has a mass A , = 119. The difference between . = 0.862 and = 0.874 is 0.012. For 2 MeV helium ions the... 

Toxicity. The products of combustioa have beea studied for a number of plastic foams (257). As with other organics the primary products of combustion are most often carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide with smaller amounts of many other species depending on product composition and test conditions. 

Psyllium Seed Gum. PsyUium seed gum [8036-16-9] is derived from plants of the genus Plantago several species of which are used as commercial sources. However, most current production is from Plantago ovata grown in India. The gum is located in the coat which is removed by cracking. The gum is then extracted with boiling water and separated from the insoluble residue by filtration. It consists of mixtures of both neutral and acidic polysaccharides, the composition of which is species dependent (66). 

Moreover, receptors also control gastric acid release, although some marked species dependence is noticed (8). However, appHcation of agonists in this area does not seem to be probable the antagonists and the proton pump inhibitors serve quite weU. 

No clear picture of the primary radical intermediate(s) in the HO2 photooxidation of water has appeared. The nature of the observed radical species depends on the origin and pretreatment of the HO2 sample, on the conditions and extent of its reduction, on the extent of surface hydroxylation, and on the presence of adventitious electron acceptors such as molecular oxygen (41). The hole is trapped on the terminal OH group (54). 

Studies have shown that, in marked contrast to carbanionic polymerisation, the reactivity of the free oxonium ion is of the same order of magnitude as that of its ion pair with the counterion (6). On the other hand, in the case of those counterions that can undergo an equiUbrium with the corresponding covalent ester species, the reactivity of the ionic species is so much greater than that of the ester that chain growth by external attack of monomer on covalent ester makes a negligible contribution to the polymerisation process. The relative concentration of the two species depends on the dielectric constant of the polymerisation medium, ie, on the choice of solvent. 

Antimicrobial Activity. The elfamycins antimicrobial specificity and lack of toxicity in animals can be explained in view of species-dependent specificity of elfamycin binding to EE-Tu. Inefficient cellular uptake or the presence of a nonresponding EE-Tu were cited as responsible factors for the natural resistance in Halohacterium cutiruhrum (67), Lactobaci//us brevis (68), and in actinomycetes (5,69). The low activity of elfamycins against S. aureus was also attributed to an elfamycin-resistant EE-Tu system (70). However, cross-resistance with other antibacterial agents has not been observed (71). 

Expect some product contamination if feed components can react with water, eg, ester will be partially hydrolyzed to acid and alcohol fate of reaction product species depends on above rules, eg, methanol from methyl ester hydrolysis probably not stripped out of bottoms stream. 

Chemical Properties. The chemistry of sodium metabisulfite is essentially that of the sulfite—bisulfite—metabisulfite—sulfurous acid system. The relative proportions of each species depend on the pH. The pH of a sodium bisulfite solution obtained by dissolving 10 wt % sodium metabisulfite in water at 20°C is 4.9 at 30 wt %, the pH is 4.4. 

If DNA from two different species are mixed, denatured, and allowed to cool slowly so that reannealing can occur, artificial hybrid duplexes may form, provided the DNA from one species is similar in nucleotide sequence to the DNA of the other. The degree of hybridization is a measure of the sequence similarity or relatedness between the two species. Depending on the conditions of the experiment, about 25% of the DNA from a human forms hybrids with mouse DNA, implying that some of the nucleotide sequences (genes) in humans are very similar to those in mice. Mixed RNA DNA hybrids can be created in vitro if single-stranded DNA is allowed to anneal with RNA copies of itself, such as those formed when genes are transcribed into mRNA molecules. 

This definition is therefore independent of the choice of coordinate origin only when the charges sum to zero. The dipole moment of a charged species depends on the coordinate origin, which must be quoted when reporting such quantities. 

The irradiation is usually carried out with light of the near UV region, in order to activate only ihc n n transition of the carbonyl function," thus generating excited carbonyl species. Depending on the substrate, it can be a singlet or triplet excited state. With aromatic carbonyl compounds, the reactive species are usually in a Ti-state, while with aliphatic carbonyl compounds the reactive species are in a Si-state. An excited carbonyl species reacts with a ground state alkene molecule to form an exciplex, from which in turn diradical species can be formed—e.g. 4 and 5 in the following example ... 

Insects have demonstrated a remarkable ability to become resistant to insecticides. The use of an attractant upon which a species depends for survival, such as a sex lure emitted by the female, will probably be a permanent tool whether or not it is used with a toxicant since the insect s ability to reproduce will be seriously impaired if the male becomes less responsive to the scent that helps it find a mate (12). 

Air, soil, and water are vital to life on this planet. We mnst protect these resonrces and nse them wisely— onr snrvival as a species depends on them. Despite recent impressive strides in improving the environment, evidence is overwhelming that more effective action mnst be taken to address snch critical issnes as acid rain, hazardons waste disposal, hazardous waste landfills, and groundwater contamination. It is also vital that we assess realistically the potential health and enviromnental impacts of emerging chemical products and technologies. The problems are clearly complex and demand a broad array of new research initiatives. 

Considerable work has been done on the behavior of pollutant species at air-water and air-soil interfaces. For example, wet and diy deposition measurements of various gaseous and particulate species have been made over a wide range of atmospheric and land-cover conditions. Still, the problem is of such complexity that species-dependent and particle-size-dependent rates of transfer from the atmosphere to water and soil surfaces are not completely understood. There is much to be learned about pollutant transfer at water-soil interfaces. Concern about groundwater contamination by mineral... 

The use of inert tracer experiments to measure residence time distributions can be extended to systems with multiple inlets and outlets, multiple phases within the reactor, and species-dependent residence times. This discussion ignores these complications, but see Suggestions for Further Reading. ... 

While all species lost body weight following treatment with 2,3,7,8-TCDD, other signs of toxicity were species dependent. Ascites was seen in mice. Anorexia, dehydration, depression, emaciation, intestinal hemorrhage, and alopecia were seen in dogs. Certain rabbits treated intra-peritoneally with 2,3,7,8-TCDD developed skin lesions typical of those associated with acnegens. 

Selective oxidation of p-xylene to terephthaldehyde (TPAL) on W-Sb oxide catalysts was studied. While WO3 was active in p-xylene conversion but non-selective for TPAL formation, addition of Sb decreased the activity in p-xylene conversion but increased TPAL selectivity significantly. Structure change was also induced by Sb addition. Evidences from various characterization techniques and theoretical calculation suggest that Sb may exist as various forms, which have different p-xylene adsorption property, reactivity toward p-xylene and TPAL selectivity. Relative population of each species depends on Sb content. 

A qualitatively different approach to probing multiple pathways is to interrogate the reaction intermediates directly, while they are following different pathways on the PES, using femtosecond time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy [19]. In this case, the pump laser initiates the reaction, while the probe laser measures absorption, excites fluorescence, induces ionization, or creates some other observable that selectively probes each reaction pathway. For example, the ion states produced upon photoionization of a neutral species depend on the Franck-Condon overlap between the nuclear configuration of the neutral and the various ion states available. Photoelectron spectroscopy is a sensitive probe of the structural differences between neutrals and cations. If the structure and energetics of the ion states are well determined and sufficiently diverse in... 

The oxidation of Cr(Il) by Fe(ril) in perchloric acid is markedly catalysed by chloride ion. Taube and Myers found that Cr(H20)5Cl is formed along with Cr(Fl20)5 as products of the oxidation, the relative proportions of the two species depending on concentrations of H and Cl . The suggestion was made that Cr(H20)5Cl is produced by reaction of Cr(H20)g with a chloro complex of Fe(III), viz. 

The lipid in muscle is composed primarily of triglycerides (depot fats) and of phospholipids (membrane components), and is a constituent which varies enormously not only in amount present, but also in properties such as degree of saturation (species dependent). The ash of lean meat is comprised of various minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc Carbohydrate was not noted in the proximate composition because while some may be present, it is normally there in low concentration compared to the other constituents. Glycogen is the carbohydrate occurring in greatest concentration in muscle but is normally degraded soon after the animal is sacrificed.
