Key words inferior vena cava (IVC), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, retrievable filter, permanent filter, clot trapping, self-centering, migration. 

Intrinsic defects (or native or simply defects ) are imperfections in tire crystal itself, such as a vacancy (a missing host atom), a self-interstitial (an extra host atom in an otherwise perfect crystalline environment), an anti-site defect (in an AB compound, tliis means an atom of type A at a B site or vice versa) or any combination of such defects. Extrinsic defects (or impurities) are atoms different from host atoms, trapped in tire crystal. Some impurities are intentionally introduced because tliey provide charge carriers, reduce tlieir lifetime, prevent tire propagation of dislocations or are otlierwise needed or useful, but most impurities and defects are not desired and must be eliminated or at least controlled. 

Such renormalization can be obtained in the framework of the small polaron theory [3]. Scoq is the energy gain of exciton localization. Let us note that the condition (20) and, therefore, Eq.(26) is correct for S 5/wo and arbitrary B/ujq for the lowest energy of the exciton polaron. So Eq.(26) can be used to evaluate the energy of a self-trapped exciton when the energy of the vibrational or lattice relaxation is much larger then the exciton bandwidth. 

Whirl from fluid trapped in the rotor. This type of whirl oeeurs when liquids are inadvertently trapped in an internal rotor eavity. The meehanism of this instability is shown in Figure 5-24. The fluid does not flow in a radial direetion but flows in a tangential direetion. The onset of instability oeeurs between the first and seeond eritieal speeds. Table 5-4 is a handy summary for both avoidanee and diagnosis of self-exeitation and instabilities in rotating shafts.

Undrainable traps that accumulate liquids and absorbent solid wastes should be avoided. Structures should be designed to be self-draining. 

Unlike reactive diatomic chalcogen-nitrogen species NE (E = S, Se) (Section 5.2.1), the prototypical chalcogenonitrosyls HNE (E = S, Se) have not been characterized spectroscopically, although HNS has been trapped as a bridging ligand in the complex (HNS)Fc2(CO)6 (Section 7.4). Ab initio molecular orbital calculations at the self-consistent field level, with inclusion of electron correlation, reveal that HNS is ca. 23 kcal mof more stable than the isomer NSH. There is no low-lying barrier that would allow thermal isomerization of HNS to occur in preference to dissociation into H -1- NS. The most common form of HNS is the cyclic tetramer (HNS)4 (Section 6.2.1).

An alternative way to use flash steam is to provide several, small self-contained FSHR systems, keeping the system pipework to a minimum and lagging the pipes to avoid unnecessary heat losses. Flash steam forms at the point where the pressure drops, which is at the BD valve or the valve seat of the steam trap. From this point the flash steam and condensate travel together until the flash vessel is reached. The vessel then acts as a steam-water separator.

It is now fairly well established that atomic and few-atom cluster arrays can be generated and trapped in weakly interacting matrices 91), and subsequently scrutinized by various forms of spectroscopy. Up to this time, IR-Raman-UV-visible absorption and emission-esr-MCD-EXAFS-Mossbauer methods have been successfully applied to matrix-cluster samples. It is self-evident that an understanding of the methods of generating and identifying these species is a prerequisite for... 

The catalyst for the in situ FTIR-transmission measurements was pressed into a self-supporting wafer (diameter 3 cm, weight 10 mg). The wafer was placed at the center of the quartz-made IR cell which was equipped with two NaCl windows. The NaCI window s were cooled with water flow, thus the catalyst could be heated to 1000 K in the cell. A thermocouple was set close to the sample wafer to detect the temperature of the catalyst. The cell was connected to a closed-gas-circulation system which was linked to a vacuum line. The gases used for adsorption and reaction experiments were O, (99.95%), 0, (isotope purity, 97.5%), H2 (99.999%), CH4 (99.99%) and CD4 (isotope purity, 99.9%). For the reaction, the gases were circulated by a circulation pump and the products w ere removed by using an appropriate cold trap (e.g. dry-ice ethanol trap). The IR measurements were carried out with a JASCO FT/IR-7000 sprectrometer. Most of the spectra were recorded w ith 4 cm resolution and 50 scans. 

Emission spectra at these points are shown in Figure 8.2d. The band shapes were independent of the excitation intensity from 0.1 to 2.0 nJ pulse . The spectrum of the anthracene crystal with vibronic structures is ascribed to the fluorescence originating from the free exdton in the crystalline phase [1, 2], while the broad emission spectra of the pyrene microcrystal centered at 470 nm and that of the perylene microcrystal centered at 605 nm are, respectively, ascribed to the self-trapped exciton in the crystalline phase of pyrene and that of the a-type perylene crystal. These spectra clearly show that the femtosecond NIR pulse can produce excited singlet states in these microcrystals.

SCHEME 9.22 Intramolecular trapping produces a self-adduct of the quinone methide conjugate. 

Similar incubations of the self-adduct in the presence of excess noncomple-mentary DNA had no effect after eight days on subsequent target alkylation. The self-adduct (1.1 pM) was even resistant to quenching by 0.5 mM 2-mercaptoethanol during a six day incubation under ambient conditions. Once again, intrastrand trapping of the transient QM seems to be extremely efficient, yet remains sufficiently dynamic for subsequently transfer of its QM to a complementary sequence (Scheme 9.22). These results are also consistent with those observed with QMP11 (Section 9.3.2).
