A lot depends upon the development of the many potential application fields. Though, from the chemical point of view, FFC is still a low-resolution NMR technique, it has already proved itself as an excellent research-tool in many application areas such as the study of contrast agents (134-141), dynamics of prosteins (142-153), polymers (154-162) and liquid crystals (163-168), dynamics of water in rocks and cements (169-176), etc. 

Defining the movement of water in rocks of low permeability by chemical methods, such as the use of tracers, age dating of water, and isotope ratios, has met with limited success for the same reasons as have the physical methods. That is, they are incapable of describing the permeability distribution in an adequately large area. 

Specimens were dried at 470 K for about 10 days in order to remove water in rock specimens before conducting DT tests. Then, specimens were kept in a deciccator with silica gel. 

The model described earlier assumed that wd was very large and h c was very small. Relaxation time measurements for water in rocks found that Ti and T2 were almost independent of temperature in the range 25-175 °C. This suggests that diffusion is not playing a significant role, and so supports the fast-exchange assumption. It thus appears that molecules sample only a limited volume of pore space before they are relaxed in the case of water in rocks. However, the diffusion and pore-coupling rates may be important in other systems.

These types of microorganism have the name lithotrophs (from the Greek words lithos, stone, and trophe, nutriment). Lithotrophs are thus stone eaters . They are quite independent of the sun and are adapted to a life of sulfides, well away from the earth s surface, on the ocean floor and in the water in rocks. Investigations have been made to a depth of 1700 m. Even at this depth the water in rocks has 100 million bacteria per Hter. And unquestionably they do not have any access to sunlight for their...
