 Substrate
Substrate is the sand or gravel that covers the bottom of the tank.
Substrate can be cosmetic, a place for critters to burrow and dig through and it can also be an important adjunct to the biological ecosystem within the reef tank.
Many tanks are setup with this substrate through lack of knowledge, but it should not be used even though this is sometimes the only substrate sold at the LFS.

 Substrate (biochemistry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The substrate binds with the enzyme's active site, and an enzyme-substrate-complex is formed.
The substrate is broken down into a product and is released from the active site.
The active site is now free to accept another substrate molecule.

 Substrate Preparation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Substrate preparation is becoming more and more important because the volume of renovation and remolding work has drastically increased.
In order to accomplish this, the substrate must be thoroughly cleaned of all contaminates and then properly surfaced and repaired to provide a satisfactory foundation for the floor covering.
The surface of the substrate should be properly primed, smooth, leveled, and patched with Portland cement based underlayment and patching material - Ardex or Mapei.

 New organic substrate
These types of substrates are used in intensive farming that need containers for their development, basically for greenhouse crops.
It is a substrate that can compete with those in the market, especially those used for mushrooms and hydroponic crops, as a single substrate, while for the nursery crops it should be mixed with peat.
Peat is the prime substrate at a worldwide level as it provides great technical performance but, on the other hand, it is mostly imported from colder regions in the North of Europe (Finland, Sweden, Norway, etc.).

 Inexpensive substrate keeps hot chips cooler
Traditionally microchip substrates are made of fiberglass-epoxy-type materials laden with copper interconnects that help conduct heat into the substrate and away from the microchip.
In the new Sandia substrate, the "micro heat pipes" built directly within the substrate material carry heat away from the chip much more efficiently than conduction through solid copper or transport through larger heat pipes on the substrate surface and thus allow for greater heat reduction and improved temperature control.
The substrates are surprisingly durable, they can be stamped into a variety of shapes and sizes (to match compact devices such as cell phones, for instance), and, most important, they are simple and cheap to manufacture in bulk.

 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Substrate (printing)
Substrate is a term used in printing, mainly industrial printing, to describe the base material that images will be printed onto.
Because durability and longevity are not needed, a paper that has a low cost and low quality is chosen to be the substrate - newsprint.
In contrast, a monthly magazine requires bold and sharp graphics and images (for the pictures and illustrations in articles, and for the advertisements).

 Aquarium Substrates - Marine Depot - Marine and Reef Aquarium Super Store
Substrate is often added for cosmetic reason to create a natural-looking tank.
For fish-only tanks, larger grain sizes are often used as you can vacuum the substrate to remove detritus.
In a reef tank, the finer grains are used as the gravel does not need to be vacuumed and it provides more surface area.

 Substrate Prep/Install
These substrates are not suitable for the installation of ARDEX underlayments or toppings, as they do not provide a solid, structural surface which can serve as a substrate.
Smooth, dense and solid substrates such as burnished concrete, ceramic and quarry tile, natural stone, cementitious and epoxy terrazzo, and solidly bonded epoxy coatings can be smoothed with an ARDEX underlayment prior to the installation of new flooring.
The surface of these substrates must be clean and free of all contaminants including oil, grease, wax, etc. Due to the non-porous character of these substrates, sealers, dressing and surface treatments can often be completely removed effectively using professional stripping agents.

 Substrate Concentration   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
It has been shown experimentally that if the amount of the enzyme is kept constant and the substrate concentration is then gradually increased, the reaction velocity will increase until it reaches a maximum.
The Michaelis constant Km is defined as the substrate concentration at 1/2 the maximum velocity.
The substrate with the lowest Km upon which the enzyme acts as a catalyst is frequently assumed to be enzyme's natural substrate, though this is not true for all enzymes.

 Enzyme Kinetics: Km - Substrate
We also learned that this was not true when we varied the amount of substrate or coenzyme in the assay solution.
These are examples of "saturation kinetics" - at higher concentrations of substrate a point is reached wherein "the substrate binding site of every molecule of enzyme has bound a molecule of substrate".
The "down-side" of double reciprocal plots is that low concentrations of substrate contribute unevenly to "errors" with these plots.

 EETimes.com - Substrate noise can tax tools, methodologies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
First, sensitive active and passive devices pick up the noise from the substrate; second, interconnect signal power is lost to the substrate; and finally, sensitive interconnect lines pick up coupling from the substrate.
The impedance model must be global in scope (that is, across the die), minimal in size to avoid simulation bottlenecks and aware of the noise frequency spectrum as the substrate impedance transitions from real to complex to imaginary in nature.
Also, the substrate is in itself only a piece of a larger RLC model including the interconnects, the IC package and some of the printed-circuit-board traces.

 Substrate Prep
If the concrete slab is dry enough to allow the primers to dry, but still has a moisture content exceeding the specifications of a flooring system, the moisture could migrate through an ARDEX underlayment or topping and affect the bond of the flooring adhesive.
Do not use in areas of constant water exposure nor in areas exposed to permanent or intermittent substrate moisture, as this may jeopardize the performance of the underlayment and the floor covering system.
Although the preparation required on the surface of wooden subfloors is the same for any type of wooden substrate, a distinction must be made with regard to the suitability of certain types of wooden substrates depending upon the product being installed.
