Transport Transportation

Sample Transport Transport time, the time elapsed between sample withdrawal from the process and its introduction into the analyzer, shoiild be minimized, particiilarly if the analyzer is an automatic analyzer-controller. Any sample-transport time in the analyzer-controller loop must be treated as equivalent to process dead time in determining conventional feedback controller settings or in evaluating controller performance. Reduction in transport time usually means transporting the sample in the vapor state. 

Transport Transport units can be scaled up on the principles of pneumatic conveying. Mass and heat transfer can be predicted on both the shp velocity during acceleration and the shp velocity at full acceleration. The slip velocity is increased as the sohds concentration is increased. 

Facilitated Transport Transport by a reacti -e phase through a membrane is promising but problematic. Way and Noble [in Ho and Sirkar (eds,), op, cit, pp, 833-866] haye a description and a complete bibliography. 

Bulk transport Transport of relatively large quantities of material by forced convection. 

Component Transport Transport through membranes can be considered as mass transfer in series (1) transport through a polarization layer above the membrane that may include static or dynamic cake layers, (2) partitioning between the upstream polarization layer and membrane phases at the membrane surface, (3) transport through the membrane, and (4) partitioning between the membrane and downstream fluid. 

Under certain conditions, the transfer of various molecules across the membrane is relatively easy. The membrane must contain a suitable transport mediator , and the process is then termed facilitated membrane transport . Transport mediators permit the transported hydrophilic substance to overcome the hydrophobic regions in the membrane. For example, the transport of glucose into the red blood cells has an activation energy of only 16 kJ mol-1—close to simple diffusion. 

During the normal course of transportation, transporters may hold waste temporarily (for up to 10 days) at a transfer facility. 

The production of quality specimens is critically dependent upon the initial steps in the process treatment before transport, transport, grossing, and fixation before processing.4 Nothing about this is profound or even new, yet many specimens, perhaps a large majority of them, show evidence that some basic rule has been ignored. The quest for ever-shorter turnaround time has taken us down a very undesirable path. It has become such a hot topic that an acronym for turnaround time, TAT, has been coined for it. Specimen quality has suffered, putting diagnostic conclusions in doubt. This is well-known, but...

ET much faster than transport (transport control). Electrochemical equilibrium is attained at the electrode surface at all times and defined by the electrode potential E. The concentrations Cox and Cred of oxidized and reduced forms of the redox couple, respectively, follow the Nernst equation (1) (reversible ET)... 

Co-transport, also known as symport, is the transport of one compound that is obligatorily linked to that of another. An example is the transport of glucose and Na ions (see below). In counter-transport, also known as antiport, the transporter transports one compound in one direction and... 

Dopamine is removed from the synapse via two mechanisms. First, COMT degrades intrasynaptic DA. Second, the dopamine transporter (DAT) [see (4) in Fig. 2.9], a Na /CD-dependent neurotransmitter transporter, transports DA in either direction, depending on the concentration gradient. The DAT is blocked selectively by drugs such as cocaine, amphetamine, bupropion, and nomifensine. 

Special transport. Transport is aided by a carrier molecule, which act as a ferryboat. ... 

Nucleoside transporters transport both naturally occurring nucleosides and synthetic nucleoside analogs that are used as anticancer dmgs (e.g. cladribine, flu-darabine and gemcitabine) and antiviral dmgs (e.g. cytarabine and zalcitabine). 

Phase 3 metabolism. Transporters transport the drug or metabolites out of the cell in which Phase 1 and Phase 2 metabolism has occurred. 

In the case of inhibitors which adsorb on the metal surface and inhibit the corrosion there are two steps, namely (i) transport of inhibitor to the metal surface and (ii) metal -inhibitor interactions. The process is analogous to drug molecule transport transported in the body to the required site and its interaction with the site to provide relief from the ailments. The most important step involves the interaction of the metal with the inhibitor molecule. These are chemical interactions and will be dealt with later. 

The acid-free product is very stable, but exceedingly sensitive to impact. The transportation of nitroglycerine and similar nitrate esters is permitted only in the form of solutions in non-explosive solvents or as mixtures with fine-powdered inert materials containing not more than 5% nitroglycerine. To avoid dangers, internal transport within the factories is made by water injection (- Water-driven Injector Transport). Transport of pure nitroglycerine and similar products outside factory premises is difficult in the U.S., special vessels have been developed in which the oil is bubble-free covered with water without air bubbles which raise the impact sensitivity considerably. The nitroglycerine produced is ideally processed immediately to the products (e.g., explosives double base powders).
