Related to micelle formation is the technologically important ability of detergent actives to congregate at oil - water interfaces in such a manner that the polar ( or ionized ) end of the molecule is directed towards the aqueous phase and the hydrocarbon chain towards the oily phase.

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.

There were no other tetrapods on the land and the amphibians were at the top of the food chain, occupying the ecological position currently held by the crocodile.

** Zorn's lemma: Every non-empty partially ordered set in which every chain ( i. e. totally ordered subset ) has an upper bound contains at least one maximal element.

* 2001 – Erwadi fire incident, 28 mentally ill persons tied to chain were burnt to death at a faith based institution at Erwadi, Tamil Nadu.

Since all anchors that embed themselves in the bottom require the strain to be along the seabed, anchors can be broken out of the bottom by shortening the rode until the vessel is directly above the anchor ( at this point the anchor chain is " up and down " in naval parlance ).

It is usually just a large block of concrete or stone at the end of the chain.

It may have been at the top of the food chain in its local ecosystem.

Suppose there is a chain at 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A, along with another chain at 6A and 7A.

However, often it is most advantageous for the player selecting to choose to let the more expensive chains remain on the board ( and trade in their stock of the less expensive chain at the 2-to-1 ratio described below ).

Mergers also give each player who holds any interest at all in a chain a chance to sell his stock or to trade it in for shares of the acquiring chain.

Shares are sold at the same price as the current cost of one share of stock in the acquired chain.

Any player may declare the game over at any time during his turn if either of two conditions is true: one chain has 41 or more tiles, or there is at least one chain on the board and every chain on the board has 11 or more tiles.

He often donned their tribal costumes, such as the one featuring a tall, black sheepskin hat from the top of which dangled a little red bag ornamented by a chain of worsted lace and tassels ; ;

Thus, when more than one distinct form leads to a particular cell in the X-region, a chain of information cells must be created to accommodate the forms, one cell in the chain for each form.

One method of building a mooring is to use three or more conventional anchors laid out with short lengths of chain attached to a swivel, so no matter which direction the vessel moves one or more anchors will be aligned to resist the force.

Anazarbus / Anavarsa was one of a chain of Armenian fortifications stretching through Cilicia.

This explains one definition as the area of a rectangle with sides of length one chain and one furlong.

When a player founds a chain, he receives one free share of stock in that chain.

In this situation, there are a number of strategic reasons why an individual player might select one hotel chain over another to be the one that remains on the board.

Starting with the player who caused the merger to happen, each player may either sell his shares in the acquired chain, trade in two shares of the acquired chain for one share of the acquiring chain, or hold on to his shares of the acquired chain.

A player may trade in as many shares as he owns, but may not trade in one share of the acquired chain for half a share of the acquiring chain.

That is, the rules do not say whether one player may ask another how many shares of stock he or she owns in a particular chain.

Towards the extreme west the Futa Jallon highlands form an important diverging point of rivers, but beyond this, as far as the Atlas chain, the elevated rim of the continent is almost wanting.

The chain rule says that the derivative of their composite at the point is:

If a is a point in R < sup > n </ sup >, then the higher dimensional chain rule says that:

Equations which define the shape of the curve and the tension of the chain at each point may be derived by a careful inspection of the various forces acting on a segment using the fact that these forces must be in balance if the chain is in static equilibrium.

Let c be the lowest point on the chain, called the vertex of the catenary,

These equations can be used as the starting point in the analysis of a flexible chain acting under any external force.

This was done primarily because the blade point frequently had to penetrate or push apart an opponent's steel chain mail or plate armor in order to inflict an injury.

At one point in the earliest 1940s, approximately half of all the pulp sf and fantasy magazines in the U. S. were being edited by Futurians: Frederik Pohl at the Popular Publications offshoot Fictioneers, Inc. ( Astonishing Stories and Super-Science Stories ); Robert Lowndes at Columbia Publications, most notably with Science Fiction and Future Fiction ( though through the decade to come, Lowndes's responsibilities would expand to other types of fiction magazine in the chain ), and Donald Wollheim at the very marginal Albing Publications with the short-lived, micro-budgeted Cosmic Stories and Stirring Science Stories ( Wollheim soon moved on to Avon Books ; Doë " Leslie Perri " Baumgardt also worked on a romance fiction title for Albing ).

Succinate is also oxidized by the electron transport chain, but feeds into the pathway at a different point.

A statistical copolymer in which the probability of finding a particular type of monomer residue at a particular point in the chain is independent of the types of surrounding monomer residue may be referred to as a truly random copolymer ( 3 ).

The average height of this mountain chain is ; the highest point of the chain,, is within Brazilian territory.

A lesser mountain chain, the Serranía de Mbaracayú, also rises at the point where the Cordillera de Amambay and Cordillera de Mbaracayú meet.

This path would utilize the Trans-Iranian Railway, but in order for the supply to be transported to Iran, Britain utitlized the Persian Gulf as the entry point for the supply chain.

Supply chain management spans all movement and storage of raw materials, work-in-process inventory, and finished goods from point of origin to point of consumption.

* A customer focused definition is given by Hines ( 2004: p76 ) " Supply chain strategies require a total systems view of the linkages in the chain that work together efficiently to create customer satisfaction at the end point of delivery to the consumer.

The backbone of the island is the Barisan Mountain chain, with the active volcano Mount Kerinci as the highest point at 3, 805 m ( 12, 467 ft ), located at about the midpoint of the range.

Turkmenistan's average elevation is 100 to 220 meters above sea level, with its highest point being Mount Aýrybaba ( 3, 139 m ) in the Köýtendag Range of the Pamir-Alay chain in the south-east, and its lowest point in the Sarygamysh Lake ( close to 100 meters below sea level ).

At one point Humphrey memorably complained that he " felt like an independent merchant running against a chain store.

In a modern test, a direct hit from a hard steel bodkin point penetrated Damascus chain armour.
