Trailing face

Using the accumulated data obtained from in-situ and high resolution electron microscopy studies, Baker and co-workers (ref. 22) developed a model to account for the growth of filamentous carbon resulting from metal catalyzed decomposition of selected hydrocarbons. The main steps in the mechanism are adsorption and decomposition of hydrocarbons at the leading face of catalyst particle, followed by dissolution of carbon in the metal and diffusion to the trailing faces where carbon is precipitated from solution to form the filament. Deactivation of the catalyst occurs... 

A mechanism has been postulated to account for the growth of filamentous carbon produced from metal catalyzed decomposition of acetylene ( 5, 6). This mechanism, which is outlined in the schematic diagram, Figure 2, involves the diffusion of carbon through the catalyst particle from the hotter leading face, on which exothermic decomposition of the hydrocarbon occurs, to the cooler trailing faces, at which carbon is deposited from solution. Excess carbon buildup occurs at the exposed particle face and is transported by surface diffusion around the peripheral surfaces of the particle to form an outer skin on the filament.

It was a town of red brick, or of brick that would have been red if the smoke and ashes had allowed it but as matters stood it was a town of unnatural red and black like the painted face of a savage. It was a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which interminable serpents of smoke trailed themselves for ever and ever, and never got uncoiled. It had a black canal in it, and a river that ran purple with ill-smelling dye. 

Contamination of the world s crops by aflatoxin is estimated to cost 10 billion annually, due not only to the direct loss of crops and animals, but also to the maintenance of toxin monitoring services and the indirect cost of human and animal health care (Trail et ah, 1995). Strict legislation will protect the public health in developed countries however, many countries do not have such legislation or testing capacity. Even if such legislation and testing could be implemented, they would reduce the health risk but could not eliminate large-scale economic losses similar to those currently faced by the U.S., the European Union, and other developed countries. 

Because the addition of bromine is stereospecifically trails or anti, one bromine atom adds to each face of the olefin and can go to either carbon. If traw.v-2-pcntcnc is used as the substrate, then only the 2R,3S and 2S,3R pair is produced (they are also enantiomers.). However, the pair from cw-2-pentene is diastereomeric with die pair from fraws-2-pentene. 

The Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT) was developed as an alternative, physiologically based test of sleepiness (1). The test was designed for use with patients whose sleepiness during the day might adversely affect performance or safety. Reasoning on the basis of face validity, a person who has little difficulty with falling asleep inappropriately should be able to stay awake in a quiet, sedentary situation such as during MWT trails. Beyond the procedure s face validity, there are other rationales for the use of the MWT, as discussed below. 

Fig. 1. A schematic diagram of the orbital positions of the moons of Jupiter discovered by Galileo. Their positions are scaled to Jupiter s radius (Rj) with properties given in Table 1. Note these satellites, like our moon, are all phase locked to the parent planet, hence the same side faces Jupiter throughout each moon s orbit. Since the magnetic field is attached to Jupiter, it rotates faster, therefore, in addition to ions and electrons moving up and down the field lines and impacting the satellites, there is a net preferential flow onto the hemisphere trailing the satellite s motion.
