From these results it can be concluded that a one-dimensional treatment of wind loaded buildings may not provide realistic values of the structural reliability estimates. Additionally, special properties of the structure -e.g. a vahation of the structural stiffness with the height or coupling effects of translatoric and rotational modes - have to be considered in a mechanical model. Otherwise, the reliability estimates may contain errors of several orders of magnitude. 

The exterior form of MDF is used in special appHcations requiring durabiHty and resistance to water or weather exposure. Highway signs would be an example of this use of exterior MDF. It is an extremely expensive product and thus is used only for special appHcations requiring its special properties. Another example of use would be where a customer would be willing to pay the additional cost to use a composite which has the exceptional quaHties of MDF, but also has virtually no formaldehyde emissions. 

The melting points, optical rotations, and uv spectral data for selected prostanoids are provided in Table 1. Additional physical properties for the primary PGs have been summarized in the Hterature and the physical methods have been reviewed (47). The molecular conformations of PGE2 and PGA have been determined in the soHd state by x-ray diffraction, and special H and nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) spectral studies of several PGs have been reported (11,48—53). Mass spectral data have also been compiled (54) (see Mass spectrometry Spectroscopy). 

Most of the resin systems used in commodity composites are slight modifications of the standard commercial mol ding grade material. Usually certain selected properties, such as purity or molecular weight range or distribution, are enhanced or carehiUy selected. In addition, special additives, such as flow controllers, thermal stabilizers, or antioxidants, are often added by the resin manufacturer prior to shipment. Many of the conventional or commodity-type resins used in thermoplastic composites are Hsted in Table 1 and the preparation of each of these is described. AH resins and blends described in the hterature are not Hsted, and the synthesis described is not the only procedure available, but is usually the most common commercial process. 

The meaning of the word aromaticity has evolved as understanding of the special properties of benzene and other aromatic molecules has deepened. Originally, aromaticity was associated with a special chemical reactivity. The aromatic hydrocarbons were considered to be those unsaturated systems that underwent substitution reactions in preference to addition. Later, the idea of special stability became more important. Benzene can be shown to be much lower in enthalpy than predicted by summation of the normal bond energies for the C=C, C—C, and C—H bonds in the Kekule representation of benzene. Aromaticity is now generally associated with this property of special stability of certain completely conjugated cyclic molecules. A major contribution to the stability of aromatic systems results from the delocalization of electrons in these molecules. 

Since these early experiments, a great deal of additional information about the existence and properties of free-radical intermediates has been developed. In this chapter, we will discuss the structure of free radicals and some of the special properties associated with free radicals. We will also discuss some of the key chemical reactions in which free-radical intermediates are involved. 

Resoles are usually those phenolics made under alkaline conditions with an excess of aldehyde. The name denotes a phenol alcohol, which is the dominant species in most resoles. The most common catalyst is sodium hydroxide, though lithium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium hydroxides or oxides are also frequently used. Amine catalysis is also common. Occasionally, a Lewis acid salt, such as zinc acetate or tin chloride will be used to achieve some special property. Due to inclusion of excess aldehyde, resoles are capable of curing without addition of methylene donors. Although cure accelerators are available, it is common to cure resoles by application of heat alone. 

Diesel fuel makeup can represent various combinations of volatility, ignition quality, viscosity, sulfur level, specific gravity, and other characteristics. Various additives are used to impart special properties...

Most commercial uses of aluminum require special properties that the pure metal cannot provide. The addition of alloying elements imparts strength, improves formability characteristics, and influences corrosion resistance properties. The general effect of several alloying elements on the corrosion behavior of aluminum has been reported by Godard et al. (2) as follows ... 

Besides these normal technical products, many other different types of a-sulfo fatty acid esters have been described in the literature. For example, Weil et al. prepared a-sulfopalmitates and stearates with higher alcohols [19] and also monoesters of polyhydric alcohol [39] and of hexitols and sucrose [40] for their special properties. In addition to the sodium salt, Stirton et al. used other cations, such as Li, NH4, K, Mg, and Ca, to study the relationship between the structure and the surfactant properties [30]. 

The formation of ordered two- and three-dimensional microstructuies in dispersions and in liquid systems has an influence on a broad range of products and processes. For example, microcapsules, vesicles, and liposomes can be used for controlled drug dehvery, for the contaimnent of inks and adhesives, and for the isolation of toxic wastes. In addition, surfactants continue to be important for enhanced oil recovery, ore beneficiation, and lubrication. Ceramic processing and sol-gel techniques for the fabrication of amorphous or ordered materials with special properties involve a rich variety of colloidal phenomena, ranging from the production of monodispersed particles with controlled surface chemistry to the thermodynamics and dynamics of formation of aggregates and microciystallites. 

The brittle, silvery, shiny metal was long considered the last stable element of the Periodic Table. In 2003 it was unmasked as an extremely weak alpha emitter (half-life 20 billion years). Like thulium, there is only one isotope. Bismuth alloys have low melting points (fuses, fire sprinklers). As an additive in tiny amounts, it imparts special properties on a range of metals. Applied in electronics and optoelectronics. The oxichloride (BiOCl) gives rise to pearlescent pigments (cosmetics). As bismuth is practically nontoxic, its compounds have medical applications. The basic oxide neutralizes stomach acids. A multitalented element. Crystallizes with an impressive layering effect (see right). 

We may expect that the future will see many additional uses of cationic zirconocenes in organic synthesis, in which their Lewis acidic character, coupled with the special properties of zirconium (oxophilic, fluorophilic) and its d°-electron configuration (leading, for example, to weak back-bonding) will come into play. 

The Mond Index (ICI, 1985) has been developed from the 1973 version of the Dow F E Index. The principal modifications to the Dow method include (Lees, 1996) 1) wider range of processes and storage installations can be studied, 2) covers processing of chemicals having explosive properties, 3) improved hazard consideration for hydrogen, 4) additional special process hazards, 5) toxicity included into the assesment. 

This transportation problem is an example of an important class of LPs called network flow problems Find a set of values for the flow of a single commodity on the arcs of a graph (or network) that satisfies both flow conservation constraints at each node (i.e., flow in equals flow out) and upper and lower limits on each flow, and maximize or minimize a linear objective (say, total cost). There are specified supplies of the commodity at some nodes and demands at others. Such problems have the important special property that, if all supplies, demands, and flow bounds are integers, then an optimal solution exists in which all flows are integers. In addition, special versions of the simplex method have been developed to solve network flow problems with hundreds of thousands of nodes and arcs very quickly, at least ten times faster than a general LP of comparable size. See Glover et al. (1992) for further information. 

RCu BFy Yamamoto22 has reviewed the special properties of RCu combined with BF3 etherate or A1C13 (80 references). In particular, these reagents are generally superior to R2CuLi for conjugate addition to a,(3-enones such as 1. 

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon, containing typically up to 2% carbon. The addition of other metals in alloys can give special properties such as superior strength, hardness, durability or corrosion resistance. 

The second group of citations identifies compilations of numerical data. Additional specialized tables can also be found in some of the references listed in the third and fourth groups. References (13) and (14) are the last two volumes of a four volume compilation of properties of mixtures prepared by J. Timmermans. They contain a large compilation of various properties of aqueous solutions collected from all the previous literature. They are neither complete nor selective, however.
