Particle size Sample Clauses

Particle size. The particle size of complexes can be characterized using dynamic light scattering, which is a well-established technique for measurement of particle size over a scale range of nanometers to micrometers. In suspension, particles scatter light, which fluctuates depending on size. Therefore the intensity of fluctuations in scattered light (due to Brownian motion of particles in solution) are analysed by an autocorrelation method to yield a diffusion constant and ultimately a particle size expressed as the mean hydrodynamic diameter (Xxxx, S.T. et al., 1994). Although the polydispersity of cationic lipid/nucleic acid complexes make the analysis of the resulting data difficult, a mean diameter can still be obtained. The particle size (diameter) of a lipid/ nucleic acid complex has been reported to influence the deposition of the complexes after administration as well as their uptake by target cells (Xxxxxxxx, X.X. xx al., 2004, Xxxxxx, X. et al., 2004). Because large molecules are poorly endocytosed, it has been suggested that transfection complexes with small particle size (≤100 nm) are more efficient for transfection and provide better extravasation to target cells. In contrast, more recent reports have shown that larger particles (micron range) are preferred for in vitro transfection (Xxxxxxx, R.I. et al., 2002, Xxxxxxxx, C. et al., 2006, Xxxxxxxx, X.X. et al., 2007). This was associated with quicker sedimentation at the cell surface compared to smaller complexes and a suggestion that large complexes reach the lysosomes relatively slowly compared to smaller particles. Cationic lipid/siRNA complexes are usually smaller than cationic lipid/pDNA complexes (nano range, from ~50 to 800 nm), however, transfection efficiency has not been restricted to small or large particle size as complexes of small size (<200 nm) or larger aggregates (500-800 nm) have both been reported to be efficient in delivering functional siRNA (Spagnou, S. et al., 2004, Xxxxx, Y. et al., 2010).

  • Modification of the Small Generating Facility The Interconnection Customer must receive written authorization from the NYISO and Connecting Transmission Owner before making any change to the Small Generating Facility that may have a material impact on the safety or reliability of the New York State Transmission System or the Distribution System. Such authorization shall not be unreasonably withheld. Modifications shall be done in accordance with Good Utility Practice. If the Interconnection Customer makes such modification without the prior written authorization of the NYISO and Connecting Transmission Owner, the Connecting Transmission Owner shall have the right to temporarily disconnect the Small Generating Facility. If disconnected, the Small Generating Facility will not be reconnected until the unauthorized modifications are authorized or removed.

  • DOES THE SPR NEED TO BE UPDATED IF INFORMATION CHANGES Yes. It remains a continuing obligation of the principal or his/her authorized agent to update the SPR whenever any of the information provided on the initial form changes. WHERE DO THE SPR AND ANY UPDATES NEED TO BE FILED? The SPR needs to be filed with the County Department or County Division processing the application or matter. If and when an additional expenditure is incurred subsequent to the initial filing of the SPR, an amended SPR needs to be filed with the County Department or County Division where the original application, including the initial SPR, was filed. WHEN DO THE SPR AND ANY UPDATES NEED TO BE FILED? In most cases, the initial SPR needs to be filed with the other application forms. The SPR and any update must be filed with the appropriate County Department or County Division not less than seven (7) days prior to the BCC hearing date so that they may be incorporated into the BCC agenda packet. (See Section 2-354(b), Orange County Code.) When the matter is a discussion agenda item or is the subject of a public hearing, and any additional expenditure occurs less than 7 days prior to BCC meeting date or updated information is not included in the BCC agenda packet, the principal or his/her authorized agent is obligated to verbally present the updated information to the BCC when the agenda item is heard or the public hearing is held. When the matter is a consent agenda item and an update has not been made at least 7 days prior to the BCC meeting or the update is not included in the BCC agenda packet, the item will be pulled from the consent agenda to be considered at a future meeting.

Replaced or repaired Product or parts and components of such Product shall be new and shall, if available, be replaced by the original manufacturer’s component or part.

  • Preservative-treated Wood Containing Arsenic Contractor may not purchase preservative-treated wood products containing arsenic in the performance of this Agreement unless an exemption from the requirements of Chapter 13 of the San Francisco Environment Code is obtained from the Department of the Environment under Section 1304 of the Code. The term “preservative-treated wood containing arsenic” shall mean wood treated with a preservative that contains arsenic, elemental arsenic, or an arsenic copper combination, including, but not limited to, chromated copper arsenate preservative, ammoniacal copper zinc arsenate preservative, or ammoniacal copper arsenate preservative. Contractor may purchase preservative-treated wood products on the list of environmentally preferable alternatives prepared and adopted by the Department of the Environment. This provision does not preclude Contractor from purchasing preservative-treated wood containing arsenic for saltwater immersion. The term “saltwater immersion” shall mean a pressure-treated wood that is used for construction purposes or facilities that are partially or totally immersed in saltwater.
