Following intramuscular (IM) administration, drugs must cross one or more biological membranes in order to enter the systemic circulation. Intramuscular injection is used mainly for drugs and vaccines that are not absorbed orally, for example, aminoglycosides, insulin, and hepatitis vaccine. The IM route is often used for sustained medication and specialized vehicles, such as aqueous suspensions, oily vehicles, complexes and microencapsulation, which has been developed for slow delivery of drugs by this route. ... 

Kreuer et al. have proposed a proton conduction mechanism, where the proton is attached to a vehicle (water, ammonia, hydrazine etc.), and the complex moves as a whole. If, in a d.c. experiment the vehicle is not supplied together with protons at the anode, migration of the proton-vehicle complex will generate a vehicle deficit close to the anode. This will cause the conductivity to decrease, if no comparable alternative conduction path exists. The decline will be observed in both the d.c. and the a.c. conductivities. 

Each vehicle generates 500—800 pounds of residue. The aimual U.S. total is about 3.5 million tons or about 1.3% of the municipal soHd waste generated aimuaHy (3). The mixture is too complex to separate and recycle. Depending on the amount of glass, water, metal, and dirt present, the residue... 

Small, complex-shaped glass articles such as thread guides for the textile industry and television gun mounts for the electronics industry are made by the multiform process. The dry-milled powder is mixed with an inorganic binder and a fluid vehicle, and then atomi2ed by a spray dryer into small, dried agglomerates of glass powder and binder with good flow characteristics. They are subsequently pressed to the desired shape and fired. 

SAMs provide the needed design flexibUity, both at the individual molecular and at the material levels, and offer a vehicle for investigation of specific interactions at interfaces, and of the effect of increasing molecular complexity on the stmcture and stabUity of two-dimensional assembHes. These studies may eventuaUy produce the design capabUities needed for assembHes of three-dimensional stmctures (109). 

Water-emulsifiable vehicles contain emulsifiers that may act as plasticizers after film formation, affecting the hardness. Water-soluble vehicles usually contain a neutralizing amine, the primary purpose of which is to solubihze the resin. These amines can influence the drying properties as they tend to complex the metal drier, thus affecting the catalytic activity. Acceptable results are usually obtained with trialkylamines such as dim ethyl eth a n o1 amine, trimethyl amine, and aminomethylpropan o1 (7). 

Mobile sources therefore consist of many different types of vehicles, powered by engines using different cycles, fueled by a variety of products, and emitting varying amounts of both simple and complex pollutants. Table 6-4 includes the more common mobile sources. 

Evaporative emissions from vehicle fuel systems have been found to be a complex mixture of aliphatic, olefinic, and aromatic hydrocarbons [20,24,33]. However, the fuel vapor has been shown to consist primarily of five light paraffins with normal boiling points below 50 °C propane, isobutane, n-butane, isopentane, and n-pentane [33]. These five hydrocarbons represent the more volatile components of gasoline, and they constitute from 70 to 80 per cent mass of the total fuel vapor [24,33]. 

The aerospace field is a broad one and has a complex history. A comprehensive review of structural adhesive applications on currently flying aerospace vehicles alone could fill its own book. Hence this chapter will concentrate on the aerospace commercial transport industry and its use of adhesives in structural applications, both metallic and composite. Both primary structure, that is structure which carries primary flight loads and failure of which could result in loss of vehicle, and secondary structure will be considered. Structural adhesives use and practice in the military aircraft and launch vehicle/spacecraft fields as well as non-structural adhesives used on commercial aircraft will be touched on briefly as well. 

With the Industrial Revolution, life became more complex but it was not until World War II that reliability engineering was needed to keep the complex airplanes, tanks, vehicles and ships operating. Of particular concern was the reliability of radar. Prior to this time equipment was known qualitatively to be reliable or unreliable. To quantify reliability requires collecting statistics on part failures in order to calculate the mean time to failure and the mean time to repair. Since then, NASA and the military has included reliability specifications in procurements thereby sustaining the collection and evaluation of data build statistical accuracy although it adds to the cost. 

Design can be as simple as replacing the motor in an existing vehicle with one of a different specification, or as complex as the design of a new automobile or any of its subsystems. Design can be of hardware, software (or a mixture of both). 

Wave propagation in an inhomogeneous anisotropic material such as a fiber-reinforced composite material is a very complex subject. However, its study is motivated by many important applications such as the use of fiber-reinforced composites in reentry vehicle nosetips, heatshields, and other protective systems. Chou [6-56] gives an introduction to analysis of wave propagation in composite materials. Others have applied wave propagation theory to shell stress problems. 

The purpose of this subsection is to familiarize the reader with some of the basic characteristics and problems of composite laminate joints. The specific design of a joint is much too complex for an introductory textbook such as this. The published state-of-the-art of laminate joint design is summarized in the Structural Design Guide for Advanced Composite Applications [7-5] and Military Handbook 17A, Plastics for Aerospace Vehicles, Part 1, Reinforced Plastics [7-6]. Further developments can be found in the technical literature and revisions of the two preceding references. 

The energy costs of building vehicles must also be considered. For ICE vehicles, more energy is usually used in construction of the vehicle than -will be consumed in fuel for driving 100,000 miles. For the EV, the dynamics are even worse since the material and energy costs of batteries are considerable. Batteries are expensive since they entail a substantial amount of material (added weight) and often involve multiple complex construction. For example, the thirty-two advanced lead-acid batteries for the 1995 GM Impact weighed over 850 pounds. 

When enrichment episodes occur in the real world, but not in the laboratory under federal certification tests, real-world emissions are significantly higher than predicted. Further complicating emissions prediction is that aggressive driver behavior and complex traffic flow characteristics play a large role in enrichment occurrence. Current vehicle activity simulation models can predict average speeds and traffic volumes very well, but poorly predict the hard-accel-eration events that lead to enrichment.
