Universal solutions

Common side effects of theophylline therapy include headache, dyspepsia, and nausea. More serious side effects such as lethal seizures or cardiac arrythmias can occur if blood levels are too high. Many derivatives of theophylline have been prepared in an effort to discover an analogue without these limitations (60,61). However, the most universal solution has resulted from the development of reHable sustained release formulations. This technology limits the peaks and valleys in semm blood levels that occur with frequent dosing of immediate release formulations. ControUed release addresses the problems inherent in a dmg which is rapidly metabolized but which is toxic at levels ( >20 7g/mL) that are only slightly higher than the therapeutically efficacious ones (10—20 p.g/mL). Furthermore, such once-a-day formulations taken just before bedtime have proven especially beneficial in the control of nocturnal asthma (27,50,62). 

Wholesale replaeement of such materials in existing plants is impractical, and there is no universal solution. Some lines can be replaced in different grades of steel. Sometimes low temperature trips or alarms can be used. Sometimes the need to watch the temperature closely during startup has to be impressed on operators. 

But alas most of what has been described so far concerning density theory applies in theory rather than in practice. The fact that the Thomas-Fermi method is capable of yielding a universal solution for all atoms in the periodic table is a potentially attractive feature but is generally not realized in practice. The attempts to implement the ideas originally due to Thomas and Fermi have not quite materialized. This has meant a return to the need to solve a number of equations separately for each individual atom as one does in the Hartree-Fock method and other ab initio methods using atomic orbitals. 

As readers of this volume are also aware, the best of both approaches have been blended together with the result that many computations are now performed by a careful mixture of wavefunction and density approaches within the same computations (Hehre et al., 1986). But the unfortunate fact is that, as yet, there is really no such thing as a pure density functional method for performing calculations. The philosophical appeal of a universal solution for all the atoms in the periodic table based on observable electron density, rather than fictional orbitals, has not yet borne fruit.21,22... 

CAS F calculations are not a universal solution to symmetry-breaking of the wave functions, and for such weak resonance problems it is far more reliable to start from state average solutions which treat on an equal footing the two configurations which interact weakly. 

Steam stripping is capable of removing typically 90 to 99% H2S, 90 to 97% NH3 and 75 to 99% organic materials. It should be noted though, that some organic materials are resistant to steam stripping and it is thus not a universal solution to contamination with organic materials.

Abstract Main features of the R D resulting in the new means for primary decontamination of chemical warfare agents based on the chemisorption principle introduced into the Czech Army s individual decontamination mean IPB-80 and into the Czech Civil Protection first aid kit ZPJ-80, and in the upgrading of sets for secondary decontamination PCHB-60-P and PCHP-60-P are presented. First results of R D on universal solutions for detoxification of super-toxic lethal chemical warfare agents on human skin are shown and discussed. 

We started the research on universal solutions already in the late 1970s. Such research implies necessary compromises among some contradictory requirements. During this research work, having learned lessons from previous works, we laid stress on crucial methodical points and requirements ...

The aim of this review is to summarize the difficulties likely to be encountered in the LC separation of basic solutes, which include the majority of pharmaceutical and also many biomedically important compounds. An answer to the problem of the separation of the cinchona alkaloids, fit for purpose, was obtained on the Hypersil column by adding the silanol blocking agent hexylamine to the mobile phase, which allowed the extra separation power of the smaller particle column to be exploited [3]. However, alternative solutions to the problem, which will be explored in this review, are more appropriate in particular circumstances there is no universal solution that is applicable in all cases. The present review will concentrate on the most recent developments in this subject for the past few years. Further background information can be found in earlier reviews by the present author [4,5] and by Snyder [6]. 

Nevertheless the euphoric optimism where these materials were allowed a huge potential in material applications has given way to a more realistic view. Nanocomposites are not a universal solution for reinforced materials. Their full potential can only be realised if every step in the added value chain is taken into account during the whole development process. From todays perspective nanocomposite materials with an improved thermal flammability resistance or improved barrier properties have the best chances to fulfil these requirements. 

With convergent evolution, successful solutions arise independently in different animal lines separated in time and place. The reason for the similarity of solutions is clear Animals encounter similar environmental problems and cope with them in a similar way because that solution is an efficient one. These universal solutions will be found on other planets with life. 

Unfortunately, resolution of the conservation problem requires knowledge of species flux, and hence details of the specific problem and discretization method. Therefore it is not possible in the general setting of the present discussion to give a universal solution. Nevertheless, a software author and users of a simulation code must be aware of the difficulty, and consider its resolution when setting up the difference approximations to the particular system of conservation equations. 

The transition from a macroscopic description to the microscopic level is always a complicated mathematical problem (the so-called many-particle problem) having no universal solution. To illustrate this point, we recommend to consider first the motion of a single particle and then the interaction of two particles, etc. The problem is well summarized in the following remark from a book by Mattuck [18] given here in a shortened form. For the Newtonian mechanics of the 18th century the three-body problem was unsolvable. The general theory of relativity and quantum electrodynamics created unsolvable two-body and single-body problems. Finally, for the modem quantum field... 

Therefore, for large samples it is possible to develop quite large temperature gradients and it is necessary to introduce electronic and mechanical perturbations to even out the field pattern. There are well-determined methods for evening out the field pattern in this way. However, the procedures are complicated because the sample itself perturbs the field pattern and therefore there may not be a universal solution to the problem. 

The problem of defining abnormal performance on tests such as the MWT has no universal solution. The normative MWT sleep latencies form a skewed distribution that is truncated at 40 min (Fig. 2) with most subjects able to maintain wake-... 

The possibility 1 is determined by the fluid and normally not influentual but effective. The use of elastomeric sealings often fails because of their limited chemical stability. Therefore elastic and mass improved valve bodies (combined with optimal springs) are the best and universal solution. 

Due to the low amount of specimen used for hair analysis and the low concentration of drugs and their metabolites in hair, extraction procedures are mostly necessary to concentrate the analytes in the tested solution. Various methods have been used for this step. The variety of described procedures show that there is no universal solution. The choice of an extraction procedure may be influenced by the kind of drug and drug metabolite(s) to be analyzed and the method used for the subsequent analysis. Preceding the real extraction, there are four treatments with more or less intermethodical differences to prepare the hair matrix for the extraction ... 

Occasionally you will encounter the problem of emulsions during extraction. There is no universal solution to this, but a common cause is the presence of very fine particles, which can be removed by filtration through Celite as described above. If this fails, try adding sodium chloride to the aqueous, and try adding another organic solvent. 

Remember that there are two universal solutions to Windows problems rebooting and obtaining an update from the software manufacturer. 

It is important to remember that mass flow is not a universal solution it will not address a top-to-bottom segregation pattern. As an example, consider the situation in a portable bin where fluidization upon filling the bin has caused the fine fraction of a blend to be driven to the top surface. Mass flow discharge of this bin would effectively transfer this segregated material to the downstream process, delivering the coarser blend first, followed by the fines.
