Answer to Question 1

The drawdown can be increased by speeding up the puller with respect to the speed of the extruder.

Answer to Question 2

Short, low molecular weight polymers will melt sooner than long polymers and will therefore act as lubricants for the longer, higher molecular weight polymers in the same resin. The longer polymers, however, give melt strength to the resin. Therefore, extrusion resins would generally have a wide molecular weight distribution so that the resin would flow easily but still have good melt strength.

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome. This endocrine disease causes continued and abnormal growth of the bones, muscles, skin, and so on and can become completely debilitating with severe deformities occurring anywhere on the body.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

Patients should never assume they are being given the appropriate drugs. They should make sure they know which drugs are being prescribed, and always double-check that the drugs received match the prescription.
