Storage compartments

The Magic Carpet system (AstroTurf Industries) (13) is a novel installation technique in which turf and adherent underpad are unwound from a core and floated onto the subbase of a playing field by air pressure suppHed from ducts in the base. To expose the subbase for other sports uses, the turf—pad combination is roUed up and stored at the edge of the field or in a recessed storage compartment. 

The mist mixture strikes a baffle plate that separates water, steam, and other gases. Hot, gas-free water then falls to a lower storage compartment while the steam and noncondensable gases rise and are vented. 

NOTE Where samples for DO analysis are taken from a deaerator storage compartment, it should be remembered that a chemical oxygen scavenger is typically added to this compartment (usually via an injector quill located below the water line). It may take several hours for this chemical to be diluted out of the tank. 

Parathyroid hormone also exists in storage vesicles. As much as 80-90% of the proPTH synthesized is degraded before it enters this final storage compartment, especially when Ca + levels are high in the parathyroid cell (see above). PTH is secreted when Ca is low in the parathyroid cells, which contain a several-hour supply of the hormone. 

Operations that involve transfers of toxics between containment cabinets can be conducted most safely if the cabinets are located adjacent to one another and feature interconnecting passageways. Cabinet floors can be equipped with steam baths or storage compartments to minimize the frequency with which toxic materials must be packaged up for transfer to another safe area. 

While unicellular fungi do not require metal transport systems, multi-cellular fungi and plants most certainly do, and we consider their transport in plants, and then consider how metal ions are sequestered in storage compartments before addressing their homeostasis. Once again, we consider in turn these processes for iron, copper and zinc. Since iron metabolism has been most intensively studied in S. cerevisiae, of all the fungi, we will focus our attention on iron homeostatic mechanisms, however, as the reader will see shortly, copper and zinc homeostasis have many similarities. 

The third important storage compartment for intracellular Ca2+ is the mitochondria (Figure 11.6). The original observations in the 1950s and 1960s (reviewed in Carafoli, 2003) that mitochondria could actively accumulate Ca2+ led both to the clarification of the... 

Density skimmers are a special type of bailer that are designed to remove LNAPL from the water surface in wells (Figure 7.4). Most of these circular skimmers are constructed with a hydrophobic (water-repelling) membrane around the intake area. When installed in a well (or other structure), such that the membrane is at or slightly below the water surface, the LNAPL seeps into the storage compartment. Periodically, the bailer is manually retrieved and LNAPL is recovered. Density skimmers are very useful at locations that have slow recovery and are in remote locations. A properly designed skimmer unit can remove LNAPL down to a thickness of /x in. (0.01 ft or 3 mm).

Numerous applications of organic zeolites have been proposed. In the future they could serve as catalytic sites and miniature reaction chambers as well as storage compartments and stationary chromatographic phases to be used for the... 

A particularly large dataset has come from the study of cuticle-water partition coefficients determined using batch experiments with isolated cuticles (Kerler and Schonherr, 1988). The cuticle, a lipophilic membrane covering all leaves, is an important storage compartment for lipophilic organic compounds in vegetation. 

Once formed, hormones are either stored or secreted. Amounts of protein hormones sufficient to maintain normal secretory rates for hours to a day, are stored in the secretory granules. The limited capacity of the synthesizing tissues to store hormones is a chemical consequence of their unsuitability for incorporation into any of the three main storage compartments of the body (lipids, glycogen or protein). As a consequence of these factors the body pools of most hormones tend to be small. 

The functions of PolyPs associated with their anionic nature were also retained. P transported into the lysosomes of human fibroblasts incorporates high-polymer PolyPs synthesized in these organelles (Pisoni and Lindley, 1992). Lysosomes are a storage compartment for bioactive amines, and PolyPs might be able to form complexes with these compounds. A similar process of PolyP synthesis was also observed in granulocytes (Cowling and Birnboim, 1994). 

Liver and adipose tissue are the major storage compartments for CACs. Ratios between liver and adipose tissue distribution are species dependent and follow the order rodents > birds > humans > fish.30 In marine mammals this ratio is determined by their relatively large adipose tissue compartment, with large storage capacities. CAC metabolites may bind to specific target proteins, e.g. in blood, kidney or lung.
