Subject field(s)
  • Pharmacology
CONT

As the name suggests, a multiple-compartment PK [pharmacokinetic] model consists of a central compartment and one or several peripheral compartments, though the compartments do not represent specific anatomical or physiological structures. In general, the central compartment represents plasma(or blood) with or without richly perfused tissues, such as heart, liver, brain, etc.,... and the peripheral compartments represent slowly or less perfused tissues, such as skin, muscle, bone and fat.... In a two-compartment model... upon administration, a substance is introduced into the central compartment that is followed by its distribution between the central and a peripheral compartment; however, equilibration of the concentration of the substance between the two compartments is not anticipated to be achieved instantaneously. Once equilibration is reached, the elimination of the substance is assumed to occur from the central compartment.

L'équilibration. L'analyse occlusale est aussi un examen prospectif dans la mesure où il est possible de rectifier, sur les modèles en plâtre, les dents établissant des contacts non stabilisants ou aberrants. La première étape consiste à rétablir des contacts antérieurs équilibrés en fermeture, à la dimension verticale qui aura été cliniquement retenue.

The Intelligent Gravimetric Analyser(IGA) was initially developed for the accurate determination of hydrogen and deuterium absorption(desorption) characteristics in various storage alloys and intermetallics.... The intelligent nature of the IGA method is a pre-requisite to performing such experiments where equilibration time scales can increase by orders of magnitude during a hydride phase transition.... Semi-automatic features allow for pressure ramp and pressure cycle operations to be performed. In summary the IGA can measure capacity,..., operating pressures and can determine lifetimes using cycling studies.

An important corollary of the silicate-sulphide equilibration... is that the resulting silicate mass should be depleted of some of its original metal content. This depletion has been identified in a number of komatiitic hosts containing nickel deposits...

Un corollaire important de l'atteinte d'un état d'équilibre entre un magma silicaté et un bain sulfuré [...] est qu'il devrait s'ensuivre un appauvrissement en certains métaux (par comparaison avec les concentrations de départ) dans la roche intrusive résultant de la cristallisation du magma silicaté. Un tel appauvrissement a été relevé dans un certain nombre de roches hôtes homatiitiques contenant des gisements de nickel [...]

CONT

The(Peltier) thermocouple psychrometer is less suitable for fieldwork. The tissue sample is sealed in a small chamber containing a thermocouple. After an equilibration period a cooling current is applied to the thermocouple in order to condense water on the junction. The amount of condensed water is proportional to the water potential of the tissue. That water is allowed to evaporate causing a change in the thermocouple output. That output is calibrated for water potential, using salt solutions.

CONT

Leaf water potential was measured with a pressure-chamber psychrometer and a Peltier-effect psychrometer. Several measurement techniques were used to assess the reliability of the stomatal resistance model.

OBS

psychrometer. A device consisting of two thermometers, one of which is covered with a water saturated wick, used for determining relative humidity; for a given set of wet bulb and dry bulb temperature readings, relative humidity is read from a chart.

Atmospheric constituents fall into two groups, those that are slowly accumulating and those that cycle between source and sink.... Whether a cycle is in equilibrium depends on how rapidly it equilibrates and on how rapidly the balance between source and sink is perturbed.
