Tailored factors affecting

Another likely outcome of the continued development of this class of inhibitors is that their applications will expand. It would be expected that these compounds could be used as inhibitors for a wide range of engineering alloys and metals, such as zinc and magnesium. As a greater understanding is achieved of what factors affect their properties and performance, these compounds will be able to be tailored for use in widely varying enviromnents. 

In terms of printing of biomolecules, there are several important factors that have to be considered. The affinity of the biomolecule to the stamp and to the substrate must be tailored so that it is higher for the substrate than for the stamp. The binding of the biomolecule should not cause denaturation (if applied, e.g., in case of proteins) and therefore should not affect the secondary or tertiary structure that can cause the unfolding of the molecule. The biomolecule should be attached to the substrate in a way that will expose all the active sites to the target molecules. 

Note that expressing the catalyst activity in terms of TOF allows tailoring the catalyst activity to the requirements of process design. Because the activation energy remains constant, the only affected parameter is the pre-exponential factor A, which in turn is proportional to the weight fraction of the active center, in this case the metal. Table 10.2 shows two situations. In the first case the preexponential factor is taken from the original TOF data, which corresponds to a fast... 

Quantified values for human exposure factors are best determined on a case-by-case basis, with site-specific and source-specific circumstances driving choices about appropriate values for intake rates, exposure duration and frequency, body weight, averaging time and other related variables affecting calculation of the ADD. Each exposure assessment is unique and the assessor must construct a scenario and tailor related human exposure factors to fit the conditions at hand. 

The porosity of the film can be tailored during initial stages and other processing conditions. The initial factors include pH (acid- or base-catalyzed), temperature of reaction, reagent concentrations, and H20/Si molar ratio. The processing conditions that affect the porosity are aging, temperature, and time... 

Fig. 1 Nanofiber modification strategies. In step 1, many polymer and solution properties will affect the size, stability, and reactivity of nanofihers in the final mat, including multipolymer blending strategies, incorporation of soluble factors/drugs/spheres, and/or loading concentrations. In step 2, during spinning, the ambient conditions and voltage applied must be tailored for each polymer source and can be dictated by the nature of the collector or the number of jets employed simultaneously. In step 5, the as-spun mat can be modified by various crosslinking techniques to stabilize the polymers or, in the case of soluble or carrier polymers, these can be leached out by subsequent liquid washes...

There is no established pattern or one best way for organizing and implementing market development. Because of this, each market development effort has to be tailored to a mix of factors. Company size and organizational structure, the nature of the markets, type of product—e.g., commodity or specialty, specification-type or performance-type, etc.—and the capability and availability of people are important factors which affect the role of market development. 

Blending offers an interesting means of tailoring product properties to specific applications. However, in the case of immiscible polymer pairs, the desired properties are not achieved readily without a compatibilizer, which enhances the phase dispersion and stability, as well as a good adhesion between the phases. This can be effectuated by physical or reactive methods [Folkes and Hope, 1993]. Compatibilization strongly affects the blend phase morphology and as such, it also may influence the crystallization behavior of the blend [Flaris et al., 1993]. Because both factors are related to the final properties of the blend, it is worth paying attention to these phenomena.
