Types of Bodies

As stoneware and porcelain can be given a glazed finish on both interior and exterior surfaces, articles made from these materials can be very easily cleaned, even after years of use. The glaze also has an effect on the strength of the ware, increasing it by up to 20%, but certain types of body are difficult to glaze satisfactorily. 

Radioactive metal ions that have short half-lives are being intensely studied as pharmaceuticals. The strategy is to attach a well-designed ligand to the metal ion so that the complex very selectively aggregates in one particular type of body tissue. What properties of the ligand are important to... 

The thyroid hormone thyroxine is necessary for the development and function of cells throughout the body. It increases protein synthesis and oxygen consumption in almost all types of body tissue. Excess thyroxine causes hyperthyroidism, with increased heart rate, blood pressure, overactivity, muscular weakness, and loss of weight.

Grenade M26A2 with fuze M217, which is shown in Fig l-20c, has the same type of body as grenade M26. Its diam is 2.25 inches and length with fuze 3.81 in... 

CLINICAL CHEMISTRY. A subdivision of chemistry that deals with the behavior and composition of all types of body fluids, including the blood, urine, perspiration, glandular secretions, etc. It involves analysis and testing of these for content of numerous melabolic constituents, as well as foreign materials thus it also includes toxicological factors. 

In vitro uranium analyses are routinely performed in support of a personnel monitoring program, or in cases where the size of an operation does not justify the cost of whole body counter facilities. These analyses are usually done on urine samples, but other types of body materials may also be used (e.g., feces or blood). Urinalysis is effective for analysis of transportable or soluble uranium. A fraction of insoluble uranium also appears in the urine (DOE 1988). 

Pangolin skin is covered with overlapping scales of keratin, coloured fium yellow to brown. They are attached to the skin in a way that allows great freedom of movement. By sewing the scales onto a fiibric tunic in a fashion that copied the way they are attached to the animal, they could act as a type of body armour. This was used by the Dyaks in Borneo in the 1800s. 

Another type of body that closely resembles a blackbody is a large cavity with a small opening, as sirown in l ig. 12-8. Radiation coming in through the opening of area A undergoes multiple reflections, and thus it has several chances to be absorbed by the interior surfaces of the cavity before any part of... 

Figure 4-4 illustrates the concept of the spectrum of human potential. By the simple fact of being bom human, having a certain type of body and nervous system, existing in the environmental conditions of the planet earth, a large (but certainly not infinite) number of potentials are possible for you. 

Let us analyze the space and time structure of the elastic displacement field in detail. We will demonstrate that equation (13.26) describes the propagation of two types of body waves in an elastic medium, i.e., compressional and shear waves travelling at different velocities and featuring different physical properties. To this end, let us recall the well-known Helmholtz theorem according to which an arbitrary vector field, in particular an elastic displacement field U(r), may be represented as a sum of a potential, Up(r), and a solenoidal, Us(r), field (Zhdanov, 1988) ... 

The left-hand side is just the time rate of change of linear momentum of all the fluid within the specified material control volume. The first term on the right-hand side is the net body force that is due to gravity (other types of body forces are not considered in this book). The second term is the net surface force, with the local surface force per unit area being symbolically represented by the vector t. We call t the stress vector. It is the vector sum of all surface-force contributions per unit area acting at a point on the surface of Vm(t).
