Wounds factors

The wound-induced synthesis and accumulation of proteinase Inhibitors I and II in tomato leaves has provided a model system to study the regulation of proteinase inhibitor genes in plants. The simplicity of the phenomenon has made it possible to Isolate the wound-factor, or hormone, and to study its release, direction and rate of transport in tomato plants. Messenger RNA has been isolated from leaves of wounded plants and contains translatable mRNAs for the two proteinase inhibitors. Studies with these mRNAs have provided a basis for the initiation of a program to clone inhibitor cDNAs for studies of the molecular basis of the wound-Induced process of inhibitor synthesis.

The FBI report Handgun Wounding Factors and Etfectiveness written by Special Agent Urey Patrick is a bit dated - July 14,1989 - but Is still Idea-current and makes for fascinating reading. Access it on line at www.firearmslactical.com/pdf/fbi-hwfe.pdt. 

Congenital deficiency of Factor Xlll is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait and is frequendy recognized at birth because of delayed persistent hemorrhage from the umbiUcus. In Factor Xlll-deficient people wound healing is defective and wound dehiscence is common. 

Modules Eveiy module design used in other membrane operations has been tried in peivaporation. One unique requirement is for low hydraulic resistance on the permeate side, since permeate pressure is veiy low (O.I-I Pa). The rule for near-vacuum operation is the bigger the channel, the better the transport. Another unique need is for neat input. The heat of evaporation comes from the liquid, and intermediate heating is usually necessary. Of course economy is always a factor. Plate-and-frame construc tion was the first to be used in large installations, and it continues to be quite important. Some smaller plants use spiral-wound modules, and some membranes can be made as capiUaiy bundles. The capillaiy device with the feed on... 

This is a resin-rich system. The stator is wound with pre-formed coils on similar lines as noted above. After thorough testing on each coil for the polarization index and dissipation factor (tan S), as discussed in Sections 9.5 and 9.6, and the impulse voltage withstand test, as discussed in Section 11.4.9, the individual coils are completely cured and toughened before inserting them into the slots. The rest of the process is as noted earlier. 

In most applications, a bar primary CT is generally used and a normal CT may be suitable. But for too small ratings, where the use of a wound primary CT is imperative, short-circuit effects must be considered, except the CTs for an LT system, where the fault level for such small ratings may be very low and may not matter (Section 13.4.1(5)). For applications on an HT system, where a wound primary CT is imperative, choice of a CT from standard wound primary CTs may still be possible, meeting the minimum requirements of class of accuracy, VA burden and short-time rating. lEC 60044-1 indicates for measuring and protection CTs the maximum short-time factors (STF) that can be obtained economically for a normal wound primary CT where...

RO membrane performance in the utility industry is a function of two major factors the membrane material and the configuration of the membrane module. Most utility applications use either spiral-wound or hollow-fiber elements. Hollow-fiber elements are particularly prone to fouling and, once fouled, are hard to clean. Thus, applications that employ these fibers require a great deal of pretreatment to remove all suspended and colloidal material in the feed stream. Spiral-wound modules (refer to Figure 50), due to their relative resistance to fouling, have a broader range of applications. A major advantage of the hollow-fiber modules, however, is the fact that they can pack 5000 ft of surface area in a 1 ft volume, while a spiral wound module can only contain 300 ftVff. 

Another factor is the ease with which various membrane materials can be fabricated into a particular module design.1618 Almost all membranes can be formed into plate-and-frame, spiral-wound and tubular modules, but many membrane materials cannot be fabricated into hollow fine fibres or capillary fibres. Finally, the suitability of the module design for high-pressure operation and the relative magnitude of pressure drops on the feed and permeate sides of the membrane can be important factors.4-11 The types of module generally used in some of the major membrane processes are listed in Table 16.2.
