Möglichkeiten der Laugenklärung in Trommelwaschmaschinen (Forschungsberichte des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen #1795)

Zusammenfassend kann gesagt werden, daß es grundsätzlich möglich ist, Schmutz­ partikel, deren Wichte sich von der Flüssigkeit der Waschlauge unterscheidet, von dieser bis zu einem gewissen Grade zu trennen. In einem Versuchsmodell konnte unter optimalen Bedingungen bei stark ver­ schmutzter Wäsche bis zu 25% des aus der Lauge ausschleuderbaren Schmutzes in einem Laugenbehälter zurückbehalten werden. Trotzdem muß der Nutzeffekt als verhältnismäßig gering angesehen werden, da es sich um grobe Verunreini­ gungen handelt, die nur bei ganz stark verschmutzter Wäsche vorhanden sind. In den meisten Fällen wird der Schmutz in so feiner Verteilung vorliegen, daß eine Klärung der Lauge auf der untersuchten Basis nicht mehr möglich ist. Außerdem liegt der Sinn eines guten Waschmittels u. a. auch darin, Schmutzteilchen in der Waschlauge in der Schwebe zu halten, d. h. also ein Aufziehen zu verhindern und so einem Vergrauen der Wäsche entgegenzuwirken. Natürlich muß eine der Schmutzmenge entsprechende Waschmittelmenge ein­ gesetzt werden, da Unterkonzentrationen in extremen Fällen zu Schmutz­ zusammenballungen (Fettläuse) führen kann. Werden solche »gebrochenen« Laugen durch einen Absetzbehälter geführt, so werden hier natürlich in verstärktem Maße Abscheidungen festgehalten. Sicher wird dieser Fall in der Praxis, besonders bei der Vorwäsche stark verschmutzter Wäsche, schon einmal vorkommen, so daß eine solche Vorrichtung hier auch gewisse praktische Bedeutung und eine Art Sicherheitsfaktor darstellen könnte. Ob auf diese Weise die Gefahr einer Wäschevergrauung merklich geringer ist, wurde bisher noch nicht untersucht. Es muß jedoch bezweifelt werden. Bei einem richtig geführten Waschprozeß darf ein Waschen in gebrochener Lauge nicht vorkommen.

The Mold Survival Guide: For Your Home and for Your Health

The image was shocking: a couple wearing protective suits and masks in their own home! The accompanying USA Weekend story documented the mold-related headaches, fatigue, and respiratory problems that forced Melinda Ballard and Ron Allison to abandon their dream house, leaving all their possessions behind. Another family was so terrified that they had their mold-filled house torn down.Mold growth threatens property managers and builders, as well as home owners and renters. Legal settlements in some mold cases have reached the millions, and home insurance rates are skyrocketing. Some people argue that mold concerns are exaggerated; others are convinced that mold growth is destroying their health.In The Mold Survival Guide, a prominent indoor air quality professional teams up with a writing specialist to describe mold, to explain where and why it flourishes in homes, and to offer advice on how to eradicate mold while minimizing health risks. The book includes a chapter by two physicians who explain how exposure to mold can affect health.With clear scientific explanations and expert advice, The Mold Survival Guide is a valuable resource for anyone worried about a common household problem that can have serious consequences.

Molding of Thermosetting Plastics

During the years 1987 and 1988 we published a series of articles on the molding of thermoplastics materials in the magazine British Plastics and Rubber (B P & R). These articles were very well received and we also received a large number of requests for reprints. In order to cater for what is obviously a need in the thermoplas­ tics molding industry, we therefore brought the information together and produced it in the form of a book. We can only hope that it serves you well and that you find the information useful. We in turn would like to thank the editor of the magazine B P & R for helping us in this matter. Thanks are also due to our many friends and colleagues throughout the molding industry for their useful help and advice, in particular the company Moldflow (Europe) limited deserve a special mention as they allowed us to extract information from their extensive data base.

Molds, Molecules, and Metazoa: Growing Points in Evolutionary Biology

Through an integration of systematics, genetics, and related disciplines, the Modern Synthesis of Evolutionary Biology came into being over fifty years ago. Knowledge of evolution has since been transformed by several revolutions: the way we interpret the fossil record has been radically affected by theories of continental drift and asteroid impacts; the way we classify organisms has been influenced by the development of cladistics. Perhaps the most dramatic revolution has been the explosion in molecular biology of information about the genome. Aiming to capture the excitement of modern evolutionary biology, six prominent scientists here explore important issues and problems in their areas of specialization and identify the most promising directions of future research.The scope of this volume ranges from macroevolutionary patterns in the Precambrian to molecular evolution of the genome. Major themes include the origin and maintenance of variation and the causes of evolutionary change. Chapters on paleontology, ecology, behavior, development, and cell and molecular biology are contributed by Jim Valentine, Graham Bell, Mary Jane West Eberhard, Leo Buss, Marc Kirschner, and Marty Kreitman. The book contains an introductory chapter by John Bonner, whose seminal work is honored here.Originally published in 1992.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Molecular Adhesion and Its Applications: The Sticky Universe

At the beginning of the twentieth century, engineers and technologists would have recognized the importance of adhesion in two main aspects: First, in the display of friction between surfaces — at the time a topic of growing importance to engineers; the second in crafts requiring the joining of materials — principally wood—to form engineering structures. While physical scientists would have admitted the adhesive properties of glues, gels, and certain pastes, they regarded them as materials of uncertain formulation, too impure to be amenable to precise experiment. Biological scientists were aware also of adhesive phenomena, but the science was supported by documentation rather than understanding. By the end of the century, adhesion and adhesives were playing a crucial and deliberate role in the formulation of materials, in the design and manufacture of engineering structures without weakening rivets or pins, and in the use of thin sections and intricate shapes. Miniaturization down to the micro- and now to the nano-level of mechanical, electrical, electronic, and optical devices relied heavily on the understanding and the technology of adhesion. For most of the century, physical scientists were aware that the states of matter, whether gas, liquid, or solid, were determined by the competition between thermal energy and int- molecular binding forces. Then the solid state had to be differentiated into crystals, amorphous glasses, metals, etc. , so the importance of the molecular attractions in determining stiffness and strength became clearer.

Molecular Analysis of DNA Rearrangements in the Immune System (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology #217)

The vertebrate immune system is distinctive among defense systems of multicellular organisms. In addition to nonspecific immunity, it generates a randomized array of millions of antigen receptors (immunoglobulins and T-cell receptors). A subset of these receptors are critical for binding to invading microbes or biochemicals from them to tag the microbes for elimination. Three site-directed DNA modification processes are critical to this process in vertebrates. V(D)J recombination generates the array of exons that encode the antigen binding pockets. Recent work summarized in this volume describes the dissection of this process at the biochemical level. The mechanism of the reaction is now understood in considerable detail. The proteins that catalyze many steps of the process have now been identified by biochemical and genetic recon­ stitution and by analysis of genetic mutants defective in V(D)J recombination. Class switch recombination is the process by which the variable domain exon of the heavy chain is changed from IgM to IgG, IgA. or IgE. Recent progress is described in the de­ velopment of an extrachromosomal substrate assay system. Molecular genetic analysis of the process in transgenics is defining some of the cis sequence requirements. Biochemical assays for defining enzymatic components are also described. In addition to exciting progress in V(D)J recombination and class switch recombination, one chapter describes recent pro­ gress in somatic hypermutation.

Molecular Analysis of Plant Adaptation to the Environment (Plant Ecophysiology #1)

Adverse environmental factors can impose stress on plants and influence the expression of the full genetic potential for growth and reproduction. The capability of plants to develop plastic response reactions, to adapt to environmental stress situations, is unique in the biological world. A goal of the research described in this volume is to increase crop productivity, particular in regions where the environment imposes stress. An understanding of the principles involved in plant adaptation to environmental stress will enable optimisation of practices to improve agronomic production and minimise damaging environmental impact. The aim of this volume is to link the rapidly advancing and increasingly specialist field of molecular biology with plant physiology at the ecosystem level. The book includes chapters focused on some principle methods and a series of up-to-date review chapters on plant adaptation to a variety of specific stresses. The utilisation of newly available genome information is emphasised. Of particular importance is the desire to highlight the current potential of such approaches, and how diverse disciplines can interact and complement one another. The book is aimed at both the specialist and the advanced student.
