The direct relevance of these diffusion-driven aggregation models to /tow-driven aggregation is somewhat questionable, though they serve to highlight the influence of the aggregation process on the structures produced. These models have been used to synthesize structures to investigate how they break (Horwatt et al. 1992a,b).

Lastly, this chapter presents the concept of aggregation as a means of reducing the binary dimension in large-scale problems. In the examples cited, the objective values predicted by the aggregation model were very close to those predicted by the general formulation. However, the aggregation model requires a much smaller number of binary variables which is concomitant with significantly reduced computational effort. 

Equations 27 and 28 present the extension of the Szyszkowski-Langmuir model to the adsorption of one-surfactant systems with aggregation at the interface. For the formation of dimmers on the surface, n = 2 and Eqs. 27 and 28 can be expanded to obtain the Frumkin equation of adsorption state. In general, the surface aggregation model described by Eqs. 27 and 28 contains four free parameters, including coi, n, b and Fc, which can be obtained by regression analysis of the data for surface tension versus surfactant concentration in the solution. 

It is noted that the investigation of a mixed adsorption layer of CioEs and TPeAB (tetrapentyl ammoniiun bromide) [35] shows evidence for attractive forces / > 0), which suggests that the presence of the ionic surfactant can prevent aggregation in the extended S-L adsorption layer. Therefore, the main question of interest concerns how the Frumkin model and the aggregation model are related. One can find from Eq. 29 that the size of the elementary adsorption cell increases with the aggregation munber resulting in a reduction in the munber of cells. Negative has the same effect of de-... 

Blandamer et al. (4) have recently made a half-hearted effort to resurrect the e2 2 species. They state that if a species such as M2 or M contains two ammoniated electrons with sufficient overlap of the electronic wave functions to cause the species to exist in a singlet state, then only by a coincidence could the absorption spectrum be similar to that of the far-separated ammoniated electrons. They suggest that a comparable coincidence could just as well occur in the case of the e2 2 species. Some clarification of the ionic aggregate model is therefore needed. It should be recognized that the optical absorption peak does shift slightly...

Besides the general criticism of additive aggregation models the most criticized aspects about these simple methods are the fact that direct scoring of alternatives and direct estimation of weights often lead to results that lack an argumentative justification and that the resulting preference values lack an economic interpretation. Also, it is not possible to perform consistency checks on the decision maker s inputs.

There are also many similarities and interconnections among most of the 10 studies. The earliest study (Osteen and Kuchler, 1986) and several others (NAPIAP, 1992 Danielson et al., 1993 and Pike et al., 1994) used similar information compiled by similar groups of weed scientists. However, the information for the Osteen and Kuchler study was based on conditions and herbicides available in 1985, while the latter three studies used information from 1992 to 1993. The two Battelle studies (funded by Ciba Crop Protection) and the three CEEPES-based studies (CEEPES, 1993,1994 Ribaudo and Bouzaher, 1994) are more distinct because they used different farm level data and different aggregate models. CEEPES was designed to evaluate various agricultural policy tradeoffs in 15 Midwest states. The three triazine studies based on the CEEPES model were partially financed by USDA and USEPA.
