Total cycle analysis

Life-cycle analysis, in principle, allows an objective and complete view of the impact of processes and products on the environment. For a manufacturer, life-cycle analysis requires an acceptance of responsibility for the impact of manufacturing in total. This means not just the manufacturers operations and the disposal of waste created by those operations but also those of raw materials suppliers and product users. 

Ereduc tion of a product or service must be evaluated over its entire istoiy or life cycle. This life-cycle analysis or total systems approach (Ref. 3) is crucial to identifying opportunities for improvement. As described earher, this type of evaluation identifies energy use, material inputs, and wastes generated during a products hfe from extraction and processing of raw materials to manufacture and transport of a product to the marketplace and finally to use and dispose of the produc t (Ref. 5).

Life-cycle analysis of a filter shows that operation often corresponds to 70% to 80% of the filter s total environmental load and is absolutely decisive as regards environmental effect. Raw material, refining, manufacturing, and transports correspond to about 20% to 30%, while the used filter contributes at most 1%. Filters of plastic or other inflammable material can render 10 kWh to 30 kWh energy when burned, which correspondingly reduces the total environmental load from 0.5% to 1%. On the other hand, if the pressure loss in the filter is reduced by 10 Pa, the environmental load is reduced by 125 kW h per year, or approximately 5% decrease in total environmental load. Filters in industrial applications can have quite different figures.

Fig. 3. Cell cycle analysis of BrdU/DNA profiles. The curve is generated from narrow regions set in mid-S phase. One region is set around the BrdU-labeled cells and the other encompasses all cells in mid-S The y-axis is calculated from the ratio of cells in the BrdU-labeled compartment divided by that in the total mid-S region (R4 in the gated and ungated DNA profiles in Fig 2).

We and others have demonstrated facile synthesis of a number of new anticancer active p-lactams. The p-lactam derivatives described herein are unique, and they demonstrate reasonable in vitro antitumor cytotoxicity. The stereochemical outcome of the Staudinger reaction as reported herein may offer our laboratory and others many additional opportunities to use p-lactams in the synthesis of biologically active compounds. Although the mechanism of action of the lead compounds has not been totally established, our research on cell cycle analysis offers intriguing... 

After 30 min equilibration at room temperature, the measurement run started. An air flow (room air filtered through active carbon) was conveyed over the sensors at a constant rate (lcm3/s) for 10 s to stabilize the baseline. An automatic syringe then suckled Asiago cheese head-space and conveyed it over the sensor surfaces for 60s. The sensors were exposed again to the reference air flow to eventually recover the baseline. The total cycle time for each measurement was 5 min. No sensor drift was experienced during the measurement period. Each sample was evaluated three times and the average of the results was used for subsequent statistical analysis (principal component analysis (PCA)). 

Sleep-wake cycle analysis is based on power spectral analysis. A fast Fourier transform algorithm calculates from the raw EEG signal total power and the power of subfrequency bands for each recorded channel from 512 data points. Single power spectra are then averaged to give a spectral point covering 20 sec of real time EEG. Under visual inspection of the spectral point-time curve, thresholds are placed...
