In the new process impurities present in the solvent ( benzene ), the monomer, and in the reaction system which would cause deactivation of propagation centers, are rendered inactive prior to polymerization by gradual addition of initiator, a mixture of butyl-lithium and telomeric styryl-lithium, at a temperature low enough to suppress chain growth.

* Although the Markov chain eventually converges to the desired distribution, the initial samples may follow a very different distribution, especially if the starting point is in a region of low density.

if is too large the acceptance rate will be very low because the proposals are likely to land in regions of much lower probability density, so will be very small and again the chain will converge very slowly.

People do not get sick from eating large amounts of such products, as ricin A is of extremely low toxicity as long as the B chain is not present.

Few species were originally considered to feed directly on seagrass leaves ( partly because of their low nutritional content ), but scientific reviews and improved working methods have shown that seagrass herbivory is a highly important link in the food chain, with hundreds of species feeding on seagrasses worldwide, including green turtles, dugongs, manatees, fish, geese, swans, sea urchins and crabs.

The exponential amplification via reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction provides for a highly sensitive technique in which a very low copy number of RNA molecules can be detected.

If left too high they will cause very slow cutting, if filed too low the chain will become more prone to kick back.

This ensures transparency, low entry barriers and competition along the value chain, with the goal of attracting private investors and benefiting the users, contributing to a faster expansion of the system.

The recent introduction of a commercial immunoassay for measurement of free light chains potentially offers an improvement in monitoring disease progression and response to treatment, particularly where the paraprotein is difficult to measure accurately by electrophoresis ( for example in light chain myeloma, or where the paraprotein level is very low ).

The side chain conformations with low energy are usually determined on the rigid polypeptide backbone and using a set of discrete side chain conformations known as " rotamers.

The result is that the polymer chains grow at a more constant rate than seen in traditional chain polymerization and their lengths remain very similar ( i. e. they have a very low polydispersity index ).

An archipelago ( ), sometimes called an island group or island chain, is a chain or cluster of islands.

Most survivors fled as refugees to the islands of their trading partners, in particular Keffing and Guli Guli in the Seram Laut chain and Kei Besar.

The Outer Hebrides are a chain of more than 100 islands and small skerries located about west of mainland Scotland.

A hotspot is more or less stationary relative to the moving tectonic plate above it, so a chain of islands results as the plate drifts.

The inner arc of Nusa Tenggara is a continuation of the chain of mountains and volcanoes extending from Sumatra through Java, Bali, and Flores, and trailing off in the volcanic Banda Islands, which along with the Kai Islands and the Tanimbar Islands and other small islands in the Banda Sea are typical examples of the Wallacea mixture of Asian and Australasian plant and animal life.
