MS, however, also has certain advantages over other spectroscopic methods that in some ways makes it an ideal technique to combine with LC. Mass spectra can be obtained rapidly, only sub->ig amounts of material are required to provide satisfactory spectra and the data produced is highly informative with respect to molecular structure. There are two well established methods that can be used to interface a liquid chromatograph with a mass spectrometer. Firstly, the direct inlet system developed by McLafferty and co-workers (9-11) and secondly, the wire transport system developed by Scott et al. (12,13). The former takes a proportion of the column eluent and passes it directly into a conventional mass spectrometer volatilizing both solvent and solute into the ion source. The latter employs the wire transport system in the normal way and the solvent is evaporated from the wire after passage through the column eluent stream. The wire, coated with the residual solute. 

Milk has been a source for food for humans since the beginning of recorded history. Although the use of fresh milk has increased with economic development, the majority of consumption occurs after milk has been heated, processed, or made into butter. The milk industry became a commercial enterprise when methods for preservation of fluid milk were introduced. The successful evolution of the dairy industry from small to large units of production, ie, the farm to the dairy plant, depended on sanitation of animals, products, and equipment cooling faciUties health standards for animals and workers transportation systems constmction materials for process machinery and product containers pasteurization and sterilization methods containers for distribution and refrigeration for products in stores and homes. 

The atmosphere of the world cannot continue to accept greater and greater amounts of emissions from mobile sources as our transportation systems expand. The present emissions from all transportation sources in the United States exceed 50 biUion kg of carbon monoxide per year, 20 billion kg per year of unbumed hydrocarbons, and 20 billion kg of oxides of nitrogen. If presently used power sources cannot be modified to bring their emissions to acceptable levels, we must develop alternative power sources or alternative transportation systems. All alternatives should be considered simultaneously to achieve the desired result, an acceptable transportation system with a minimum of air pollution. 

As crude oil reserves dwindle, the marketplace will either transition to the electrifying of the transportation system (electric and fuel-cell vehicles and electric railways), with the electricity being produced by coal, natural gas, nuclear and renewables, or see the development of an industry to produce liquid fuel substitutes from coal, oil shale, and tar sands. It might also turn out to be a combination of both. The transition will vary by nation and will be dictated strongly by the fuels available, the economic and technological efficiencies of competitive systems, the relative environmental impacts of each technology, and the role government takes in the marketplace. 

Carboxylic ionophores selectively transport cations by using intramolecular complexation in the uptake process of cations (basic region). A new ion transport system has been developed which incorporates a structural device which assists in the release process by using intramolecular complexation of an [18]crown-6 ring and a primary ammonium ion 48>. The experimental conditions are shown in Fig. 7. All these com-... 

The carrier used in this transport system is only required to possess the nitrogen atom as a structural unit, which participates in the complexation. From the viewpoint of the simplicity in the structure, the development of new ionophores are expected. 

A certain crown ether having additional coordination sites for a trasition metal cation (71) changes the transport property for alkali metal cations when it complexes with the transition metal cation 76) (Fig. 13). The fact that a carrier can be developed which has a reversible complexation property for a transition metal cation strongly suggests that this type of ionophore can be applied to the active transport system. 

Anyway, it is clear that the fmdings obtained in these artificial transport systems do contribute to the understanding of biological phenomena and point the way to possible practical applications, such as the separation of ions. Accordingly, the development of synthetic ionophores which possess high selectivity for specific cations is expected to gain importance in the future. 

To achieve the transport of ions against their concentration gradients, the reversible change in the nature of ionophores at the both interfaces of a membrane is necessary, and for this object, many ingenious devices in the structure of ionophores and the transport systems have recently been developed. 

In relationship to their living conditions, yeasts like Saccharomyces cerevisiae have developed a large number of transport systems which take up nitrogenous substances present in the external medium, and accumulate them in unmodified form (for... 

The separation between food consumers and producers in America has been ascribed to several factors. With the development of an urban industrial society, people became dependent on unknown producers for much of their food supply. As transport systems improved (railways, roads and canals) it became easier to produce food in regions whose climates allowed year-round production. 

While potential attacks on all modes of transportation are of concern, the Committee on Assessment of Security Technologies for Transportation believes that the U.S. air transportation system continues to have a high priority for counterterrorism resources, both because of its economic importance and because of the intensified public perception of risk following the September 11, 2001, attacks. The air transportation system can also serve as a testbed for the development of defensive technologies and strategies that can subsequently be applied to other transportation modes. 

Finding 2 No specific strategies, approaches, or procedures have been developed to defend the U.S. air transportation system against chemical/biological attacks.
