For any given system there is a particular value of the dilution rate at which the unit cost of product will not change with fermentation time. At dilution rates higher than the critical one the unit cost of growth-linked products (e.g. biomass) will decrease with time, while that of non-growth-linked products (e.g. penicillin) will increase with time. The converse will happen at lower dilution rates. In all cases the unit cost will tend towards a finite, fixed value.

Except in the region of high sucrose concentrations, the line of two-fold saturation bounding this field also was determined. Non-equilibrium glassy phases were formed throughout the system. The degree of metastability of these phases increases with sucrose concentration. At high sucrose levels, the metastability was such that detection of the line of two-fold saturation was precluded. In general, it was found that sucrose was less effective on a weight percent basis than dimethyl sulphoxide and glycerol in depressing the melting point of primary ice and, consequently, less effective in suppressing salt concentration effects at low temperatures in the liquid phase which is residual to primary ice formation.","PeriodicalId":15255,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biochemical toxicology","volume":"1 1","pages":"599-607"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90623175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rothbaum","doi":"10.1002/JBT.2570270609","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/JBT.2570270609","url":null,"abstract":"The rate of evaporation from a slightly heated pond of sea water, over and above the rate from an unheated control pond, has been found to be about 5.6 m of depth per year, for each kW/m2 of heat density applied. In winter about 40%, and in summer about 55%, of the added heat goes to increasing evaporation. In conjunction with local data on rainfall and natural evaporation, this value can be used to predict the net evaporation from a heated pond at a chosen site. If a power station in the Auckland area had sea water cooling ponds of the usual size, the combination of natural evaporation, rainfall, and evaporation due to heating would result in a net evaporation of 1.02 m per year and production of a concentrated brine containing at least 200 000 tonnes per year of salt, for a 1400 MWe power station. The degree of concentration allowed in the cooling pond is limited by the formation of scale in the condensers. By adding trisodium phosphate (obtainable cheaply in New Zealand from a low quality phosphate ore) and ammonium chloride to the brine, the scale-forming calcium and magnesium can be precipitated as a mixture of metal phosphates and metal ammonium phosphates. The precipitate has potential value as a high-analysis fertiliser or a cattle feed supplement. At the same time a non-scaling brine is produced, which can safely be concentrated five-fold in a power station cooling pond. The brine is then suitable as feed for a caustic/chlorine electrolysis plant. A portion of the caustic soda product must be recycled to the preparation of the trisodium phosphate.","PeriodicalId":15255,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biochemical toxicology","volume":"172 1","pages":"685-695"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76766277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thornhill","doi":"10.1002/JBT.2570270308","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/JBT.2570270308","url":null,"abstract":"There is a need in many fields such as chemical engineering, process chemistry and pharmacology for reliable data on the solubility, entropy of solution and partial molar volume of gases in liquids. Experimental data are not available for many systems of practical and academic importance and consequently a reliable theory to predict values for these properties would be of great use. Recent refinements of solubility parameter theory have been successful in predicting such values for several systems and in this paper results obtained from this theory are compared with experimental measurements on a large range of gas-liquid systems. The agreement found is satisfactory in the most part, but for helium, neon, xenon, hydrogen and deuterium, the predicted results deviate consistently from the experimental values. This is to be expected on the basis of some of the earlier results of solubility parameter theory and an empirical modification is proposed that yields significant improvements in the predicted values. This has also been used to predict values for carbon dioxide, tetrafluoromethane and sulphur hexafluoride to which the theory is not directly applicable. Values predicted by solubility parameter theory are compared with those obtained by Battino and co-workers from scaled particle theory. In general, the two theories are equally successful in predicting solubilities, but refined solubility parameter theory yields better values of entropy of solution. It is concluded that the theory provides a useful means of predicting solubility and entropy of solution but that prediction of partial molar volume results is limited because of the paucity of data for the thermal pressure coefficients of the solvents. Attention is drawn to apparent inaccuracies in certain experimental measurements. The interrelationship between the various forms of the entropy of solution used by different workers is clarified. A value of the energy of vaporisation of carbon dioxide, δE2v=2.64±0.15 kcal/mol is calculated.","PeriodicalId":15255,"journal":{"name":"Journal of biochemical toxicology","volume":"45 1","pages":"479-497"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72746061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
