Unilateral and bilateral depletions of the forebrain dopamine systems produce distinctive patterns of motor impairments in a wide variety of animal models. Irrespective of the individual model, we see considerable overlap in the resulting functional syndrome, reflecting the fact that the behavioral impairments are defined by the lost functions associated with the dopamine neuronal substrate rather than distinctive effects of the individual treatments. These have allowed the evolution of a well-defined range of behavioral tests to characterize different aspects of the functional deficit including  

From these various analyses, it is clear that dopamine regulation of the striatum does not simply control detailed movement, but is involved in the selection and initiation of appropriate goal directed actions (Dunnett and Robbins, 1992 Robbins and Everitt, 1992), as influenced by motor learning (i.e. the acquisition of skills and habits Mishkin et al., 1984 Jog et al., 1999), in the context of motivational information related to needs and rewards (Suri and Schultz, 1999). Theoretical formulations of this process have moved away from the neuropsychological theory, although still conceptually useful, to mathematical and neural network modeling (Houk et al., 1995 Servan-Schreiber et al., 1998), which is beyond the scope of the present review.

1 General conclusions and strategies for the roll-out of a hydrogen infrastructure 

The fossil hydrogen production option dominates during the first two decades while the infrastructure is being developed, and also in later periods if only economic criteria are applied initially on the basis of natural gas, later with increasing gas prices more and more on the basis of coal (where available). Carbon capture and storage will be critical for these pathways, if hydrogen is to contribute to an overall C02 reduction in the transport sector. The production mix between gas and coal is highly sensitive to the ratio of feedstock prices a switch occurs at a gas coal price ratio of about 2.5. 

Until around 2030, steam reforming of natural gas plays a role for central production (with CCS), but in the long term this option becomes less attractive owing to the assumed increase of gas prices. 

18 This calculation is based on hydrogen fuel-cell cars with a hydrogen consumption of 26 kWh/100 km, gasoline or diesel cars with a consumption of 51/100 km and a refinery efficiency of 90%. In addition, - parity is assumed.

We conclude this chapter on spacecraft with a summary of the key points characterizing solutions arrd justifications for their dependability. 

In space systems, traditiorral dependability requirements, outside of safely, are usitally achieved by selective redtrrtdancy architectures, that is to say aichitectrrres where only nomirtal elements provide their outputs. 

The degree of redrmdancy depertds on the criticality and the fallibility of the elements, but more often one degree is enough. It rrray even be the case when several elements are needed to errsrrre the norttirral functiorr, for example, of three gyroscopes (or reaction wheels or thrusters) in three non-coplanar axes a fourth element on a linearly indeperrderrt axis preserves a useable triplet after the loss of any element. 

A redundancy of one degree is the minimum necessary to achieve the objective often reqitired for not losing the mission on a single fault. Experience confirms that it is sufficient to achieve the lifespan objectives, even over periods as long as 15 to 18 years for telecommimications satellites (except of course for some fallible 

In many cases, the cold redimdancy solution is also used, reducing electricity consumption but also promoting lifespan because electronic components have a much lower failure rate when impowered. This solution requires the use of other detection mechanisms than a comparison between two units. 

This thesis focuses on the applicability of in vitro and in vivo bioassays and bioindicators as tools for evaluating the effects of complex chemical sediment contaminants in the process of deciding whether dredged harbour sediments can be safely disposed of at sea. To this end three objectives have been defined  

Analyze the main factors determining success and failure when applying bioassays for hazard, risk and impact assessments of dredged sediments. 

Advice a rational choice of bioassays and biomarkers that will provide added value to the risk management process when considering the disposal of dredged sediments. 

Combining the information obtained in these newly defined bioassays with existing ehemi-cal analyses may faeilitate definition of not only the hazard but also the risk posed by the dredged sediment. 

This paper presents an overview of relevant alkali nitrate and nitrite salt mixtures for TES technology in the field of CSP. This overview includes well-known salt systems in the field (KN03-NaN03, KN03-NaN02-NaN03 - Hitec), as well as a recently published system with a low liquidus temperature. This system is based on the quaternary reciprocal systems K, Li, Na//N02, NO3. Compositions with a liquidus temperature as low as 72 °C have been reported. A phase diagram with a fixed ratio N03 /N02 = 0.5 has also been published. The stability of this mixture in air at 450 °C over 120 days is reported to be poor [33]. 

Our own measurement focused on parts of the liquidus phase diagram of the same system K, Li, Na//N02, NO3 but with a fixed ratio N03 /N02 = 0.56. This phase diagram could confirm the lowest liquidus mixture reported previously in literature with a value of around 80 °C. In addition, stability measurements by thermogravimetry were conducted. These measurements show that the stability of this mixture is similar to NaN03 in nitrogen atmosphere.

The combination of the spatial symmetry of a quantum system and the time-periodic, spatially dependent interaction with laser fields brings about the formation of DSs. 

DS operations form groups and, consequently, DS analysis of Floquet states is analogous to symmetry analysis of stationary states. In particular, one can label QEs and their corresponding Floquet states with appropriate quantum numbers, determine symmetry properties of 

QEBs and analyze whether non-accidental degeneracies can be found in the QEB spectra following the existence of unitary and anti-unitary DSs. 

DS analysis of HHG processes in high-intensity laser fields has been placed on a firm foundation, analogously to that possessed by symmetry analysis in conventional spectroscopy. 

In general, for many-electron, time-periodic Hamiltonians which are invariant under P f only the n = 1,A 1,2N l,3N 1,4A1 1. harmonics are generated. 

The main objectives, important data and essential conclusions of the individual studies are briefly summarized briefly below  

Several xenobiotics identified in both the seepage water and the leakage water on the same concentration level were not only persistent but also specific for the waste deposit-derived emission. Hence, these stable source indicators were quantitatively analysed in groundwater and drainage 

A second study characterizing a huge groundwater contamination caused by chemicals used for wood impregnation revealed mono- and dichlorinated naphthalenes, chlorobenzo(b)thiophene, acenaphthene and methylated naphthalenes as the main pollutants. Anaerobic microbial degradation of the main pollutant 1-chloronaphthalene was evident from identification of 1 -chloro-4-naphthol and 1-chloronaphthoic acid as biotic transformation products. In contrast inorganic and compound specific stable carbon isotope analyses indicated only a minor degree of microbial transformation. Thus, sorption seemed to be the main attenuation process within the aquifer affected by the coal tar based contamination described above. 

Besides the substances related to the impregnation activities, the pesticides atrazine and bromacil were detected and attributed to another contamination source.

Electron microscopy techniques are essential tools needed for the investigation of the local structure and composition of grain boundaries in high-temperature superconductors. While we have emphasized structural aspects here, analytical characterizations (see Chapters 8 and 11) are extremely important and must be part of establishing direct connections to transport properties.

We have described a new type of slurry application system that can be used instead of or in parallel with the standard slurry applicator on most single wafer CMP tools. The system is easily installed, simple, and passive, but can sometimes deliver slurry savings of as much as 50% with no change in removal rate or nonuniformity, possibly with a bonus in the form of defect reduction. While not suitable for every process, it works well for a significant number of common processes that use silica slurries and foamed or porous pads. These include oxide removal processes (including some cerium-based processes), tungsten polishing processes, and some copper and barrier 

Experiments suggest that two main mechanisms are at work in a successful SIS application, dilution mitigation in exposed pores and valleys, and elimination of microhydrodynamic lubrication at contacts. The latter occurs in processes operating with a fast platen and low down force. The same experiments also provide some suggestive new clues about what may be happening in the gap between the pad and the wafer. 

Questions remain about how to extend the number of slurries for which flow reduction is feasible. This includes some types of copper slurries. To do this requires basic understanding of the particular properties of each slurry or class of slurries and how they affect the removal rate. For example, some copper slurries are very temperature sensitive. The SIS designs described here inject fresh slurry at room temperature and remove warm slurry that has passed under the carrier. This lowers the polishing temperature and can lower the removal rate. However, an injector bottom that retains the used slurry can (and has been) designed that can make up for the temperature deflcit and produce a favorable rate. Thus, progress in slurry reduction may be possible for one category of slurry at a time.

We make no attempt to characterize these chemicals beyond the generalizations that (i) wide ranges of both primary and secondary plant substances act as excitatory stimuli (ii) inhibition of investment behaviors is triggered mainly by secondary substances but sometimes by unfavorable balances of primary nutrients and (iii) because they are relatively non-volatile and effectively compartmentalized, many phytochemicals generating the inhibitory inputs influence insect behavior only during or after the examining phase when direct contact has been established. Readers are referred to Hedin et al. (1974) for analysis of behaviorally active phytochemicals by chemical class.

The supercritical fluid in equilibrium with mineral assemblages has been treated first as a mixture of uncharged gas species and then as an electrolyte solution. Although the procedures are general, most examples have been drawn from metamorphic rocks. 

Pressure and temperature must be evaluated first, by whatever means available. Next simple or complex buffer reactions are searched for to establish as many fugacities as possible. Fuga-city indicators are also valuable, as well as exchange reactions, the latter specifying fugacity ratios. A value for f(02) is usually assigned most readily. The P(gas) equation is importeint for solving the set of simultaneous equations.

Chemical trends with temperature are, for the most part, the same as seen in the hydrothermal end member waters (Table 2.5) Mg + and alkalinity decrease and Ca + increases as temperature increases. The exception is that the concentration of I + decreases with increasing temperature. This is consistent with the assumption that K+ is released from hydrothermal systems and taken up as crustal rocks cool. 

Both examples of the hydrothermal influence on seawater chemistry indicate substantial chemical alterations on the ridge flanks away from the axis. The current challenge for improving the marine mass balance is to devise a way to determine fluxes in enough areas so that some generalizations can be made about the role of the off-axis hydrothermal circulation in the geochemical mass balance. 

The geochemical mass balance for the major ions of seawater (Mackenzie and Garrels, 1966) demonstrated the necessity for reactions that could remove dissolved constituents Mg +, K+, and HCO3 that have insufficient sinks based on sedimentary rock-forming minerals. Until the discovery of hydrothermal vents it was assumed that reverse

This chapter has discussed the modes of damage that can occur with polymer composites. Failure occurs progressively under tension, compression, or shear, and polymer composites are particularly prone to low-velocity impacts that may result in damage that is not obvious to the naked eye. This emphasizes the need to test polymer composite aircraft structures both at the time of manufacture and while in service. The methodologies currently employed for NDT, NDI, and NDE of aircraft structures have been detailed, and examples have been shown. The precise method used for a given application will depend on the economic cost, subject to a sufficient probability of detection of any damage.

The information provided in this Chapter can be divided into four parts 1. Introduction, 2. Thermodynamic theories of polymer blends, 3. Experimental methods, and 4. The characteristic thermodynamic parameters for polymer blends. Introduction presents the basic principles of the classical, equilibrium thermodynamics, describes behavior of the single component materials, then focuses on the two-component systems solutions and polymer blends. 

As the reported values of the thermodynamic parameters indicate, the largest pool of data is based on the Huggins-Flory relation. This is only to be expected since the theory and related to it concept of the binary interaction parameters, either B or was introduced to polymer science more than a half century ago, in 1941 to be precise. Even their well-recognized complexity of functional dependence, viz. B = B(T, P, ( ), MW, MWD, molecular stmcmre, stresses.), does not discourage efforts to continue using this approach against all odds. 

Fourier transform infrared images have been utilized in a large number of applications for complex polymer systems. The future is bright as new instruments will have faster data collection times and higher fidelity. 

The Eastern Mediterranean is also unusual in being the largest body of water in the world in which the primary productivity is phosphorus limited. The annual phytoplankton bloom occurs in winter as soon as deep mixing occurs and ceases when the phosphate is depleted. The nitrate which remains is enriched in heavy 15N-N03. Nutrient enrichment experiments of bacteria show P limitation throughout the year. There is no evidence of Fe limitation in this system, and thus far no evidence of significant N-fixation by phytoplankton has been found. 

After the winter bloom, water column stratification occurs in March-April, which results in the formation of the DCM that is characteristic of the system for the remainder of the year. The stratification starts in the offshore area in the Southeast Levantine Basin and spreads from there to the north and west. In summer the DCM is typically greater than 100 m deep with the waters above it depleted in inorganic N and P but containing significant amounts of dissolved organic nitrogen and phosphorus. 

The phytoplankton community in the offshore region is dominated by pico- and nano-plankton, with microplankton and eukaryotes only important in coastal regions and upwelling areas associated with mesoscale features such as the Rhodes Gyre. Heterotrophic bacteria are an important component of this nutrient depleted system. Both depth integrated chlorophyll a and primary productivity levels are extremely low, characteristic of ultra-oligotrophic systems. 

A consistent theory of turbulent flow in horizontally homogeneous canopies has been developed over the last twenty five to thirty years. This theory asserts that the origin of the large energy-containing eddies that dominate canopy TKE and transport is an 

A theory of flow in canopies over low hills has been developed by extending the asymptotic matching approach of Hunt, Liebovich and Richards, 1988 [287] that was developed for hills covered by short roughness. This shows that the flow in the canopy asymptotically splits into two layers an upper canopy layer that can be linearised and a lower canopy layer that must be modeled non-linearly. In the upper canopy layer and in the shear stress layer just above the canopy, the velocity perturbations caused by the hill are closely in phase with (-) the perturbation pressure and a velocity maximum occurs just ahead of the hill crest. In the lower canopy layer, the velocity perturbations are in phase with the perturbation pressure gradient, which for a single Fourier mode is 7r/2 out of phase with the pressure perturbation. 

Two effects result from this. The first is strong modulation of the canopy-top inflection point, which is weakened on the upwind slope and accentuated over the crest. The effect of this on the inflection-point instability that generates turbulent eddies is as yet unknown. The second effect is that in the lower canopy, the negative velocity perturbation on the lee slope can easily exceed the mean velocity, even on gentle hills if the canopy is sufficiently deep and dense. Hence separation can occur within the canopy, even on low hills. As the hill becomes steeper the separation bubble can escape the canopy and global separation may occur on hills covered with tall canopies at much lower angles than if the same hills were covered with short roughness. 

The scalar solution for heat transfer can be used to calculate the intensity of the cool layer that develops in a canopy that is cooling radiatively at night. Over low hills, this cool layer provides a hydrostatic term that modifies the hydrodynamic pressure 

This chapter summarizes the distinct characteristics of children across life stages that contribute to unique differences in their susceptibility to environmental exposures. These include anatomical, physiological, metabolic, functional, toxicokinetic, and toxicody-namic characteristics. The normal development of various organ systems is also addressed. Differences in exposure pathways and behavioural characteristics will be addressed in chapter 5. Different organ systems develop at different rates, and comparison across life stages will allow for identification of specific systems that are at risk during specific stages of development. 

The United States is one of the only countries that has established a formal surveillance system for post-approval monitoring of adverse reactions to food additives.

It provides a means of spotting potential longer-term problems with additives which can then be investigated further.

Neutron activation analysis is an invaluable technique for trace element determinations in biological matrices. Probabiy its most important advantage is its relative freedom from errors due to extraneous additions of exogenous materiai from reagents, equipment, or laboratory environment. Characteristics which contribute further to the popularity of the technique are its outstanding sensitivity, excellent specificity, and multielement capability. In principle, the technique is able to produce relatively unbiased and precise measurements — at least in competent hands. That it is, however, necessary to warn against uncritical expectations is illustrated by the grossly inconsistent results obtained in several laboratories. 

Because of the necessity to have access to a nuclear reactor, the use of neutron activation analysis has been restricted to a few - essentially research - laboratories, the more so because most analyses require considerable time and manpower. The technique has found its main application in solving selected problems or In laying the foundations for more extensive applications using procedures better suited for routine applications. 

To close neutron activation analysis has had a profound influence on trace element research, particularly on its biomedical applications. Without the development of the technique the history of trace element research would, undoubtedly, have to be rewritten. In

A real viscous material in a homogeneous nonhydrostatic stress field changes shape at some rate that enables us to assign the material a viscosity N. 

In an equivalent imaginary continuum, the change of shape involves removal of infinitesimal wafers of material from sites normal to a principal direction of shortening, and insertion of wafers of material at sites normal to the principal direction of elongation. 

Behavior of the continuum is as if the wafers slid sideways in their own plane along cylindrical slots. 

If the material responds to a gradational sequence of normal-stress states, it is not reasonable to suppose that the response will be different according as the normal-stress components act on elements that form a cylindrical surface or a planar surface. Thus the shortening rate across a plane subject to 7 ax will be (ffmax by diffusivc mass transfer, for some small 

If the wavelength A could be determined experimentally, it would be a direct indicator of the arc-length of an imaginary quarter-cylinder then, whatever the mechanism is by which change of shape occurs in a homogeneous constrictive stress field, the actual mechanism and the imagined quarter-cylinder migration would be equivalent. In other words. 

The mid-1990s have seen the emergence of ES/MS as the method of choice for the efficient ionization of complex lipids. Since ES/MS yields the molecular ion with minimal fragmentation, ES/MS/MS with CID is essential for structural characterization of the molecular ions. MS/MS is less important in 

The introduction of ES/MS and LC/ES/MS, however, has not solved the problem of quantification since the yields of these entities vary with experimental conditions, lipid class and frequently with the type of molecular species present. Quantification within certain lipid classes over limited ranges of concentration has been claimed by several laboratories, but systematic quantitative studies have yet to be reported. In view of the obvious advantages of ES/MS for the sensitive detection and identification of complex lipid molecules it would appear that further efforts directed at improving the quantification capability of this method would be well justified. 

The information on chemical bonding which can be deduced from the Mossbauer parameters may be summarised as follows. 

When the Mossbauer atom is the central atom of the molecule or 

The interpretation of the Mossbauer spectrum obtained from a molecular solid is highly dependent on the particular situation. For example, in some cases two inequivalent Mossbauer atoms may be involved in the molecular complex and this can provide a means by which the Mossbauer data may be more comprehensively interpreted. However, in the majority of compounds studied by Mossbauer spectroscopy only one Mdssbauer atom is present and, while acknowledging the advantages of having such a sensitive probe of the immediate local environment, there are often problems in making conclusions concerning the number or disposition of the atoms or groups around the Mossbauer atom. For this reason, Mossbauer studies of a structural nature have been most successful when the Mossbauer data have been complemented by the results from another technique such as X-ray diffraction. 

Most of the examples cited in this chapter will be drawn from studies of iron-containing compounds. This is a direct manifestation of the fact that 

Mossbauer spectroscopy has been a particularly valuable technique for the study of the structural properties of organometallic compounds and useful data has been obtained from compounds containing a variety of Mossbauer atoms. The Mossbauer results have been especially informative when the compounds under examination have contained the Mossbauer atom in more than one site. Several examples of this are provided by studies of iron carbonyls and their derivatives. 

Thin films that are difficult to apply by the dry-film process are readily produced by electrodeposition. Three-dimensional substrates can also be coated. 

ED resists are relative newcomers to the printed circuit board and photochemical machining industries, and as yet have not been accepted as widely as the well-established techniques. However, as these techniques are increasingly pushed to their limits and ED resist technology continues to improve, the utilization of ED resists is expected to grow dramatically over the next few years.

The use of full-encirclement steel sleeves for pipeline repair is a relatively mature technology. As a result, relatively little is written about the use of steel sleeves compared to the use of composites where new products are continually introduced. 

The applicability of Type A sleeves is nearly identical to that for composite repairs and their installation involves no welding to an in-service pipeline. Type B sleeves can be used where composite repairs cannot, such as for repair of defects that are 80% deep or greater, circumferentially oriented defects, leaking defects or for defects that will eventually leak (e.g., internal corrosion), and cracks. For both types of full-encirclement steel sleeve, the raw materials are relatively inexpensive, and the stiffness and long-term performance are equivalent to that of line pipe steel. 

The installation of Type B sleeves does involve the need to weld to an in-service pipeline. Adherence to the simple guidance summarized here will minimize the potential concerns associated with welding to an in-service pipeline.
