Unfortunately, consumers are reluctant to accept obvious trade-offs even when the private system can justify investments in AFVs and alternative fuel refueling infrastructure. Most vehicle consumers want it all. They want a low emissions vehicle, but insist that it be powerful as well. They want their large, heavy vehicle to be fuel efficient. They won t give up trunk space for a large gaseous fuel tank. They don t want to refuel on the opposite side of town, or even the opposite side of the street, even if that s where the alternative fuel is located. They want the reduced emissions and low noise of alternative fuel transit buses, but they also want low fares. 

The spectral curves of longitudinal pulsations at the same vertical (9,1) have been shown in Figs. 3.40,(D)-(F). The levels, at which the measurements were taken, have also been shown in Fig. 3.40,(C). There are no additional features in the spectral curve 1 just z = 2 mm above the surface, nor in any of the other curves within the trunk space up to z = 40 mm this means that the single trunk influences the flow very weakly. However, at the elevation z = 80 mm and higher within the crown wake (curves 3, 4, 5, and 6), the spectral curves behave differently from those in the smooth wall... 

Vertical profiles of wind, temperature and scalar concentration within the canopy differ markedly from those found above the canopy. If above-canopy flow can be approximated as logarithmic, flow within the canopy is to be characterized as exponential (see upper left portion of Figure 4.1). The rate of depletion of wind with depth into the vegetation is directly related to the density of the canopy, which is usually expressed as the leaf surface area plus the cross-sectional area of cylindrical plant parts, such as branches and trunks, per unit volume that the material occupies. The curvature of the profile reverses in sign and creates an inflection point, which occurs close to the top of the stand when the canopy is sufficiently dense. If the stand is relatively open in its lowest levels, as is often the case in the trunk space of a forest, the wind profile can exhibit a secondary maximum before diminishing to zero at the ground surface. 

The one difficulty in this system is that, when you look at the spine alone, there are logistical problems as to how can you develop adequate power to run the system There is limited space because there are abdominal contents situated at the front of the spine, and the muscles around the spine are relatively small compared to the size of the trunk. Thus, with a small power source, this would limit velocity. The legs are 50% of the height of a human, making them a large external power source. They do not take up any available trunk space, and this larger, longer power source...

A conduction block is a type of regional anesthesia produced by injection of a local anesthetic drug into or near a nerve trunk. Examples of a conduction block include an epidural block (injection of a local anesthetic into the space surrounding the dura of the spinal cord) a trails sacral (caudal) block (injection of a local anesthetic into the epidural space at the level of the sacrococcygeal notch) and brachial plexus block (injection of a local anesdietic into the brachial plexus). Epidural, especially, and trailssacral blocks are often used in obstetrics. A brachial plexus block may be used for surgery of the arm or hand. 

The architecture of macromolecules is another important synthetic variable. New materials with controlled branching sequences or stereoregularity provide tremendous opportunity for development. New polymerization catalysts and initiators for controlled free-radical polymerization are driving many new materials design, synthesis, and production capabilities. Combined with state-of-the-art characterization by probe microscopy, radiation scattering, and spectroscopy, the field of polymer science is poised for explosive development of novel and important materials. New classes of nonlinear structured polymeric materials have been invented, such as dendrimers. These structures have regularly spaced branch points beginning from a central point—like branches from a tree trunk. New struc-... 

If there are no leaks, the evacuated traps are immersed slowly in a Dewar vessel full of liquid nitrogen and then the diffusion pump is switched on with and open, 7, and closed. The residual glow from the Tesla discharge should disappear rapidly from the space between the diffusion pump and T. Then 7 is opened and the traps pumped down, then 7 is opened and the space bounded by 7, 7, Tjj and Tjj, and finally the main trunk line and the subsidiary trunk line T -T are connected for hard pumping. 

Figure 13.8 Illustration of the application of a foam blanket to protect a small tree. A tube (20) is clamped (34) to the trunk and positioned so that foam can be pumped through a nozzle (26) over the top of the tree. From this point the foam provides a blanket covering branches (30) and the spaces between branches (12). Note that the blanket also drapes all the way down to ground level. From Cole and Beattie [874].

In the case of 5,000 to 10,000 psi cylinders, the principal issues are concern for public acceptance of their safety, the cost to manufacture such containers (which today are made as multishelled structures that use fiber-wound composite technologies), the time and complexity of the filling operations, and the space that such tanks with the needed capacity would occupy on board the vehicle (see Table 4-2). For example, for more than a 200-mile driving range, today s natural gas vehicles usually require two tanks, which use up much of the trunk. A hydrogen-fueled vehicle with 5,000 psi tanks would probably require two tanks, or, if the tank was 10,000 psi, a small vehicle might need one tank. Several companies are trying to develop these tanks, but none has... 

Symptoms Tree trunks and limbs are covered with even rows of closely spaced holes. 

One of the features of the forest fire problem making rigorous analysis difficult is the presence of individual trees, shrubs, bushes, trunks, branches, leaves and occasional human structure. To simulate these elements in detail with sufficient accuracy to replicate individual vortical motions would be intractable. Over a region of even a few acres there must be thousands of individual unequally sized and spaced objects. 

He crosses to pry it open, and finds a long low dark space that runs the length of the room. He strikes a match, and in its flicker, we glimpse an old-fashioned seaman s trunk behind several ancient electric heaters. He hauls it out into the bedroom and lifts the heavy lid. 

It is well-known that fluid tends to leak from the arterial and to be reabsorbed at the venous end of capillaries (Staub, 1974). Fluid not absorbed at the venous end of the capillaries is drained from the tissue spaces by the lymphatic system and returned to the vascular system via the lymphatic trunks which join the venous system at the root of the neck. Oedema is the accumulation of excess fluid in the tissues and may be produced by a number of causes. These include ... 

Brief description This species of plume-like seafans differs in having more spaced branching off the main trunks, and the branches are stiff, not floppy. Both the primary and secondary branches all have branchlets emerging off their sides. These branchlets emerge mostly in matched pairs, on opposite sides of the stems. This species has a more open and sea fan appearance than other species of this genus. The color is usually violet, occasionally yellow or whitish spicules clear violet, colorless, or pale yellow anthocodial rods colorless.
