  Primary cell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A primary cell is any kind of electrolytic cell in which the electrochemical reaction of interest is not reversible.
The most common primary cells today are found in alkaline batteries; earlier carbon-zinc cells, with a carbon post as cathode and a zinc shell as anode were prevalent.
A related difference is that primary batteries use up the materials in one or both of their electrodes, while, ideally, the reversibility of the reactions in a secondary cell allows them to be restored to almost the same fully charged condition on each recharging.

 NREL: Measurements and Characterization - Primary Reference Cell Calibration   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Most of the cells we select for calibration are obtained from organizations that have established reputations for making cells for reference and whose cells have a history of high quality and stability.
Because the measurement of spectral irradiance does not encompass the limits of the reference spectrum, we use a computerized atmospheric transmission model and extra-terrestrial spectra to extend the measured spectrum to cover the range of the reference spectrum (300-4000 nm).
Those cells that do not meet the stability requirements (±1% change per year in short-circuit current) are discarded as reference cells.

 Plant Cell Wall Basics
In addtion we are studying the role of the cell wall as a source of biological active molecules and as a barrier to plant pathogens.
Thus, cell wall structure and organization is of interest to the plant scientist, the food processing industry and the nutritionist.
Primary walls isolated form higher plant tissues and cells are composed predominantly of polysaccharides together with lesser amounts of structural glycoproteins (hydroxyproline-rich extensins), phenolic esters (ferulic and coumaric acids), ionically and covalently bound minerals (e.g.

 Primary Large B-cell Lymphoma of the Skin
Although primary cutaneous diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) except for those of the leg are grouped together with primary cutaneous follicle center cell lymphoma in the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer classification of primary cutaneous lymphomas, they typically lack the usual phenotypic profile of follicular lymphoma.
Primary cases were frequently found in the head/neck region, whereas secondary cases were more common on the trunk and extremities.
Of the 4 patients with primary cutaneous DLBCL of the lower extremity (thigh, knee, leg), 2 (50%) experienced a recurrence and 1 patient died of disease.

 Primary Cell
A primary cell is one in which the chemical action eats away one of the electrodes, usually the negative electrode.
In the primary cell the carbon anode was not chemically acted upon by the sulfuric acid.
The negative terminal of the voltage source is connected to the cathode of the cell and the positive terminal of the voltage source is connected to the anode of the cell.

 Cell Biology Lab- Tissue Culture Methods
Primary cell cultures are derived from rat, mouse and human in the Lab.
The advantages of primary cultures are that the cells have not been "modified" in any way (other than enzymatic or physical dissociation).
The disadvantages of primary cultures are the mixed nature of each preparation, limited lifespan of the culture and the potential contamination problems.

 The Plant Cell
The rigid cell wall of plants is made of fibrils of cellulose embedded in a matrix of several other kinds of polymers such as pectin and lignin.
The cell walls of parenchyma and meristems are uniform in thickness.
Although each cell appears encased within a box, in fact primary cell walls are perforated permitting plasmodesmata to connect adjacent cells.

 The Primary Mirror Cell   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
There seems to be a pretty standard design recommended for the mirror cell in simple dobsonians: cut a disk of particle-board the same diameter as the mirror; hold it off of a backing board with three bolts and springs; add wingnuts for adjustment.
The mirror is glued to the disk with 3 silicone blobs, 120 degrees apart and at ~70% of the mirror radius.
My primary cell actually got more complicated than this, because I used the router to cut a deep "3-leaf clover" recess behind the mirror to allow air to circulate behind it.
