South, D. W., and R. H. Ewert. 1995. Encyclopedic Dictionary of Gears and Gearing. New Yoric McGraw-Hill. Contains alphabetically arranged, clear, concise definitions for common terms, trade names, and abbreviations. Covers the fundamentals of gearing as well as advanced concepts. Some terms are accompanied by illustrations. 

Air Permeability. Air permeabiUty is an important parameter for certain fabric end uses, eg, parachute fabrics, boat sails, warm clothing, rainwear, and industrial air filters. Air permeabiUty of a fabric is related to its cover, or opacity. Both of these properties are related to the amount of space between yams (or fibers in the case of nonwovens). The most common method for specifying air permeabiUty of a fabric involves measuring the air flow per unit area at a constant pressure differential between the two surfaces of the fabric. This method, suitable for measuring permeabiUty of woven, knitted, and nonwoven fabrics, is described in ASTM D737. Units for air permeabiUty measured by this method are generally abbreviated as CFM, or cubic feet per square foot per minute. 

Polyesters are one of the most versatile classes of polymers ever produced, covering a wide range of properties and applications. Polyesters are present in fibers, engineering thermoplastics, and high-performance polymers as well as in thermosetting resins and elastomers. Table 2.1 lists the chemical structure, abbreviations, and uses of some commercially important thermoplastic polyesters. 

The first two chapters serve as an introduction to quantum theory. It is assumed that the student has already been exposed to elementary quantum mechanics and to the historical events that led to its development in an undergraduate physical chemistry course or in a course on atomic physics. Accordingly, the historical development of quantum theory is not covered. To serve as a rationale for the postulates of quantum theory, Chapter 1 discusses wave motion and wave packets and then relates particle motion to wave motion. In Chapter 2 the time-dependent and time-independent Schrodinger equations are introduced along with a discussion of wave functions for particles in a potential field. Some instructors may wish to omit the first or both of these chapters or to present abbreviated versions. 

This chapter takes you through the principal stages of a Catalysis development, covering the main features. We recommend that if you read a single chapter of this book, this should be the one. For a greatly abbreviated sound-bite version of the tour, see Section 1.15, Summary. 

Many templates exist to define a single family of types, such as the Sorted Lists. It is inconvenient to explicitly invent a new type name every time we want to make a new sorted list of something and then to explicitly substitute that for the placeholder in the template. An abbreviated notation covers these cases. 

The effect of European REACH legislation, which will cover all chemicals used in the European countries, on the paint industry is discussed and proposals made for a possible solution. REACH is the abbreviation for Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals. A case study involving vehicle refinish paints is described. Recommendations made by the industry for an improved REACH are considered. 

The parameter classification after Klug is determined by six stability classes (with the German abbreviation AK for Ausbreitungsklasse), reaching from extreme stable (AK I) to extreme labile TAK V). In the Turner stability scheme AK 5 denotes extreme stable, AK 2 extreme labile, see table 2. An estimate of the stability can be made from synoptical observations of solar radiation, cloud cover and wind velocity /14/. With the parameters after Klug equation (3.4) becomes... 

This book provides an ideal revision guide for those preparing to sit for a multiple choice questions (MCQs) examination in pharmacy. It covers common general pharmacy practice interventions and operations and other topics commonly featured in examinations, such as simple pharmaceutical calculations, doses, strengths, nomenclature, abbreviations, dosage forms, specialities, trade and generic names, biochemical tests, classification, side-effects, and common diseases. Some recent advances in pharmacy practice are also included. 

Cook s discussion (Ref 2,pp 45-6) is translated into Russian in abbreviated form in the book of Andreev Belyaev (Ref 5, pp 146-48). Studies of mixtures of H2-O2-N2 H2-02 A, C2H2-O2 and others covering the range of initial pressure from below atmospheric to 50-l00atm showed that velocity frequently followed... 

Flame AAS (often abbreviated FAAS) was until recently the most widely used method for trace metal analysis. However, it has now largely been superseded by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (see Chapter 4). It is particularly applicable where the sample is in solution or readily solubilized. It is very simple to use and, as we shall see, remarkably free from interferences. Its growth in popularity has been so rapid that on two occasions, the mid-1960s and the early 1970s, the growth in sales of atomic absorption instruments has exceeded that necessary to ensure that the whole face of the globe would be covered by atomic absorption instruments before the end of the century. 

Fig. 9.4.8 Apparatus for the gas flow-cold trap method. One of the gas inlets is abbreviated in the figure. A cover in the figure is used to improve a collection yield. Without this, the particles produced just above a crucible are drifting in the chamber to deposit on the chamber wall. The end of the gas line is evacuated by a rotary pump so as to constantly flow the carrier gas. A solvent feeder is inserted on the gas line for the sublimation of organic liquid to deposit at the trapping apparatus cooled with liquid nitrogen. (From Ref. 10.)...

If we consider three components, the phases will be arranged as in Figure 48a at conditions of initial burial. The solid solution series are somewhat abbreviated for simplicity. The phase relations are dominated by fully expanding and mixed layered minerals which cover a large portion of the compositional surface. Notably two dioctahedral expandable minerals exist as does a large undefined series of trioctahedral phases designated as expanding chlorite, vermiculite and trioctahedral montmorillonite. 

At the end of each numbered section there is a list of Organic Syntheses references (abbreviated OS). With the exception of a few very common reactions (2-3, 2-22, 2-24, and 2-38) the list includes all OS references for each reaction. The volumes of OS that have been covered are Collective Volumes I to VII and individual volumes 66 to 69. Where no OS references are listed at the end of a section, the reaction has not been reported in OS through volume 69. These listings thus constitute a kind of index to OS.6 Certain ground...
