The HILL-SCAN 30XX boards can be used in different PCs. Desktop- and tower-PCs as well suited for laboratory uses. For in-field inspections rugged notebooks and portable PCs are advantageous. A typical portable system is shown in Fig. 2 (USPC 3010), used in MUSE (Mobile Ultrasonic Equipment). This portable PC not only contains the boards for ultrasonic testing but also a controller with power supply for stepper motors, so that a manipulator can be connected directly. The MUSE system is enlarged with a water circulation system which enables a local immersion technique" for in-field inspections. A typical result is shown in Fig. 3, which presents a D-scan of a CFRP- component in RTM-techniques. The defect area caused by an impact is clearly indicated. The manipulator is described in [3]. 

The effective saturation depth,, represents the depth of water under which the total pressure (hydrostatic plus atmospheric) would produce a saturation concentration equal to for water ia contact with air at 100% relative humidity. This can be calculated usiag the above equation, based on a spatial average value of T, measured by a clean water test. For design purposes,, can be estimated from clean water test results on similar systems, and it can range from 5 to 50% of tank Hquid depth. Effective depth values for coarse bubble diffused air, fine bubble diffused air, and low speed surface aerators are 26 to 34%, 21 to 44%, and 5 to 7%, of the Hquid depth, respectively. 

The wettabihty of a fabric is measured by the Gravimetric Absorbency Testing System (GATS). This test is a measure of the abiUty of the fabric to take up hquid spontaneously in the direction perpendicular to its plane (lateral absorbency). The amount of water driven from a reservoir beneath the sample is deterrnined. 

Sodium chlorite is not Hsted by the USEPA or any regulatory authority as a carcinogen. Studies conducted ia mice and rats did not show an increase in tumors in animals exposed to sodium chlorite in thek drinking water. Sodium chlorite has been found to have mutagenic activity in some in vitro test systems such as the Ames Salmonella reverse mutation assay without the presence of metaboHc activators. The significance of these test results in regard to human health is not clear because of the oxidizing effects of the chlorite ion (149). 

The complexes on surface of chelate-functionalized silica often include ligands available in solution in the coordination sphere. Use of a chromophore reagent as a ligand leads to the formation of colored mixed ligand complexes (MLC). The phenomena can be used as a basis for developing test-systems for visual determination of microquantities of inorganic cations in water. 

In the case of a closed water system, once the correct water treatment is provided, the incidence of microbiological fouling or corrosion is virtually eliminated, provided that the addition of fresh water is not a frequent occurrence. It is, however, essential to have water tests carried out at regular intervals by a water laboratory. 

In a continuous model river test system it can be shown that after passage through a sewage treatment plant ester sulfonates have no significant influence on the qualitative and quantitative composition of the biocenosis of a receiving water [113]. All the investigations into the environmental fate of a-sulfo fatty acid esters demonstrate that aquatic toxicity is alleviated by their fast ultimate biodegradability, which allows them to be classified as environmentally compatible.

D-Xylulose 5-phosphate (ii-threo-2-pentulose 5-phosphate, XP) stands as an important metabolite of the pentose phosphate pathway, which plays a key fimction in the cell and provides intermediates for biosynthetic pathways. The starting compound of the pathway is glucose 6-phosphate, but XP can also be formed by direct phosphorylation of D-xylulose with li-xylulokinase. Tritsch et al. [114] developed a radiometric test system for the measurement of D-xylulose kinase (XK) activity in crude cell extracts. Aliquots were spotted onto silica plates and developed in n-propyl alcohol-ethyl acetate-water (6 1 3 (v/v) to separate o-xylose/o-xylulose from XP. Silica was scraped off and determined by liquid scintillation. The conversion rate of [ " C]o-xylose into [ " C]o-xylulose 5-phosphate was calculated. Some of the works devoted to the separation of components necessary while analyzing enzyme activity are presented in Table 9.8. 

For these reasons, it is desirable to perform a series of simple calculations to determine if the field capacity for a given depth of soil is ever exceeded, rather than simply overlaying water inputs over plots of residue data. The following series of calculations addresses the primary issue of whether sufficient water was applied to the test system at appropriate intervals to create leaching opportunities ... 

More sophisticated methods that actually measure volumetric water content can also be used, such as time domain reflectometry (TDR). In Figure 14, an example of TDR results is presented. Both the calculated and measured (i.e., TDR) volumetric water contents provide a similar picture of the profile water status by depth with time. Proper soil characterization data, such as those shown in Table 6, are necessary for these calculations and improve understanding of the test system. The determination of water-holding capacity (WHC) at 0.03 MPa field capacity (FC) and 1.5 MPa... 

The design for the surface water-collector system is determined by an allowable flow rate divided by a required flow rate. Allowable rates for geocomposites are determined experimentally by exactly the same method as for geonets. The specific cross section used in the test procedure should replicate the intended design as closely as possible. For the required flow rate, Darcy s law or HELP36 37 can be used. Then the design-by-function concept is used to determine the DR, or FS. 

Filter layers, frost penetration, and cap-liner connections are other factors to consider in designing the closure system for a hazardous waste landfill. Before using geotextiles for filter layers in closures, one should conduct pressure tests and clogging tests on the material. Freeze-thaw cycles probably have little effect on membranes, but their impact on clay is still not known. Because of this lack of knowledge, membrane and clay layers should be placed below the frost penetration layer. Finally, a cap membrane should not be welded to the primary FML. Differential settlement in the cap can put tension on the cap membrane. In such a situation, the seam could separate and increase the potential for integration of the surface water collection system into the LDS.
