carrier

Examples of carrier in the following topics:

• It's not just photocopiers and carpets

  • The Carrier air-conditioning company in the USA, for example, leases cooling services to its clients rather than air conditioners.
  • (Hawken, Paul, Lovins, Amory, and Lovins, Hunter, Natural Capitalism) As with any leasing arrangement, ownership of Carrier's air-conditioning equipment is maintained by the company, which means that Carrier is highly motivated to keep its products in optimum condition.
  • Carrier is further driven to ensure that the building where it administers its cooling service is energy-efficient because the more efficient the building the better and more cost-effective its product will be, which translates into higher profits for Carrier.
  • Customers love the arrangement because Carrier'scommitment to increasing efficiency, reducing waste and lowering costs ultimately means lower all-around heating and cooling prices for consumers.

• Coral Sea and Midway

  • Now aware of the presence of U.S. carriers in the area, the Japanese fleet carriers entered the Coral Sea with the intention of finding and destroying the Allied naval forces.
  • Beginning on May 7, the carrier forces from the two sides exchanged airstrikes over two consecutive days.
  • The severe losses in carriers at Midway prevented the Japanese from reattempting to invade Port Moresby from the ocean.
  • Four Japanese aircraft carriers-- Akagi, Kaga, Soryu and Hiryu, all part of the six carrier force to launch the attack on Pearl Harbor six months earlier-- were sunk for a cost of one American aircraft carrier and a destroyer.

• Facilitated transport

  • Another type of protein embedded in the plasma membrane is a carrier protein.
  • Carrier proteins are typically specific for a single substance.
  • Channel and carrier proteins transport material at different rates.
  • Channel proteins transport much more quickly than do carrier proteins.
  • Carrier proteins change shape as they move molecules across the membrane.

• Primary Active Transport

  • With the enzyme oriented towards the interior of the cell, the carrier has a high affinity for sodium ions.
  • ATP is hydrolyzed by the protein carrier, and a low-energy phosphate group attaches to it.
  • As a result, the carrier changes shape and re-orients itself towards the exterior of the membrane.
  • The protein's affinity for sodium decreases, and the three sodium ions leave the carrier.
  • Subsequently, the low-energy phosphate group detaches from the carrier.

• Agglutination Reactions

  • Agglutination reactions apply to particulate test antigens that have been conjugated to a carrier.
  • The carrier could be artificial (such as latex or charcoal particles) or biological (such as red blood cells).
  • The quality of the result is determined by the time of incubation with the antibody source, amount and avidity of the antigen conjugated to the carrier, and conditions of the test environment (e.g., pH and protein concentration).
  • Hemagglutination uses erythrocytes as the biological carriers of bacterial antigens, and purified polysaccharides or proteins for determining the presence of corresponding antibodies in a specimen .
  • Red blood cells are used as carriers to detect antibodies from a patient's serum.

• Radio Waves

  • For this reason, the carrier frequencies of two different radio stations cannot be closer than 0.020 MHz.
  • (a) A carrier wave at the station's basic frequency.
  • (c) The frequency of the carrier is modulated by the audio signal without changing its amplitude.
  • (a) A carrier wave at the station's basic frequency.
  • (c) The amplitude of the carrier is modulated by the audio signal without changing its basic frequency.

• Complete Antigens and Haptens

  • They are small molecules that can elicit an immune response only when attached to a large carrier such as a protein; the carrier typically does not illicit an immune response by itself, and many are carriers are normal molecules that circulate through the body.
  • When haptens and carriers combine, the resulting molecule is called an adduct, which the combination of two or more molecules.
  • A complete antigen is essentially a hapten-carrier adduct.
  • Once the body has generated antibodies to a hapten-carrier adduct, the small-molecule hapten may also be able to bind to the antibody, but it will usually not initiate an immune response; usually, only the hapten-carrier adduct, which is the completed antigen, can do this.

• The Hall Effect

  • For a metal containing only one type of charge carrier (electrons), the Hall voltage (VH) can be calculated as a factor of current (I), magnetic field (B), thickness of the conductor plate (t), and charge carrier density (n) of the carrier electrons:
  • Express Hall voltage for a a metal containing only one type of charge carriers

• Group B Streptococcus Colonization

  • Studies indicate that as many as 40% of women can be carriers.
  • If a pregnant woman is a carrier of strep B, the baby can become infected during vaginal delivery.
  • Healthy adults are usually asymptomatic carriers of the bacteria.
  • TreatmentPregnant women who are carriers of GBS are administered penicillin or ampicillin during labor.

• Supply Chain Management

  • ., motor carrier, including truckload, LTL, or parcel); railroad; intermodal transport, including TOFC (trailer on flatcar), and COFC (container on flatcar); ocean freight; airfreight; replenishment strategy (e.g., pull, push or hybrid); and transportation control (e.g., owner-operated, private carrier, common carrier, contract carrier, or 3PL).
