In contrast to the van der Waals surface, the Connolly surface [183, 184] has a smoother surface structure. The spiky and hard transition between the spheres of neighboring atoms is avoided. The Connolly surface can be obtained by rolling... 

Natural titanium is reported to become very radioactive after bombardment with deuterons. The emitted radiations are mostly positrons and hard gamma rays. The metal is dimorphic. The hexagonal alpha form changes to the cubic beta form very slowly at about 88O0C. The metal combines with oxygen at red heat, and with chlorine at 550oC. 

The element is a steel-white metal, it does not tarnish in air, and it is the least dense and lowest melting of the platinum group of metals. When annealed, it is soft and ductile cold-working greatly increases its strength and hardness. Palladium is attacked by nitric and sulfuric acid. 

Tellurium improves the machinability of copper and stainless steel, and its addition to lead decreases the corrosive action of sulfuric acid on lead and improves its strength and hardness. Tellurium is used as a basic ingredient in blasting caps, and is added to cast iron for chill control. Tellurium is used in ceramics. Bismuth telluride has been used in thermoelectric devices. 

The theory predicts high stabilities for hard acid - hard base complexes, mainly resulting from electrostatic interactions and for soft acid - soft base complexes, where covalent bonding is also important Hard acid - soft base and hard base - soft acid complexes usually have low stability. Unfortunately, in a quantitative sense, the predictive value of the HSAB theory is limited. Thermodynamic analysis clearly shows a difference between hard-hard interactions and soft-soft interactions. In water hard-hard interactions are usually endothermic and occur only as a result of a gain in entropy, originating from a liberation of water molecules from the hydration shells of the... 

Many computational chemistry techniques are extremely computer-intensive. Depending on the type of calculation desired, it could take anywhere from seconds to weeks to do a single calculation. There are many calculations, such as ah initio analysis of biomolecules, that cannot be done on the largest computers in existence. Likewise, calculations can take very large amounts of computer memory and hard disk space. In order to complete work in a reasonable amount of time, it is necessary to understand what factors contribute to the computer resource requirements. Ideally, the user should be able to predict in advance how much computing power will be needed. 

The next day comes and the hung-over chemist wakens to see a dark red solution stirring away. In some cases where the chemist had made an enormous batch of this stuff, there may be seen a small mass of crystalline precipitate at the bottom of the flask. This is no big deal and will go away in the next step. If the chemist had made this in a flat-bottomed flask (which she really should have for convenience) then the ice tray is removed, the flask returned to the stir plate, a distillation setup attached, and the acetone is vacuum distilled from the flask. After all the acetone has come over the chemist can proceed in two different ways. One way is to just keep on distilling the solution until all of the formic acid has been removed. The chemist knows that just about all the formic has been removed when there is about 300mL of thick black liquid remaining in the reaction flask and hardly any clear formic acid is dripping over into the collection flask. If one were to swirl the reaction flask, the liquid will appear syrupy and kind of coat the sides of the flask. This is more evident when the flask cools. A quick sniff of the flask may indicate that some formic is still in there, but it should be too minimal to be of any concern. 

Crushing and grinding uses mechanical force to break larger particles into smaller ones. A variety of tools are used depending on the particle s size and hardness. Large particles are crushed using jaw crushers capable of reducing particles to diameters of a few millimeters. Ball mills, disk mills, and mortars and pestles are used to further reduce particle size. 

Approximately 300 students have joined me in thinking and learning about analytical chemistry their questions and comments helped guide the development of this textbook. I realize that working without a formal textbook has been frustrating and awkward all the more reason why I appreciate their effort and hard work. 

Fertilization of ponds to increase productivity is the next level of intensity with respect to fish culture, followed by provision of supplemental feeds. Supplemental feeds are those that provide some additional nutrition but caimot be depended upon to supply all the required nutrients. Provision of complete feeds, those that do provide all of the nutrients required by the fish, translates to another increase in intensity. Associated with one or more of the stages described might be the appHcation of techniques that lead to the maintenance of good water quaUty. Examples are continuous water exchange, mechanical aeration, and the use of various chemicals used to adjust such factors as pH, alkalinity, and hardness. 

The properties of SAN resins depend on their acrylonittile content. Both melt viscosity and hardness increase with increasing acrylonittile level. Unnotched impact and flexural strengths depict dramatic maxima at ca 87.5 mol % (78 wt %) acrylonitrile (8). With increasing acrylonitrile content, copolymers show continuous improvements in barrier properties and chemical and uv resistance, but thermal stabiUty deteriorates (9). The glass-transition... 

Initial attempts to synthesize the compounds (22) were hampered by the failure to obtain the correct stereochemical configuration about the vindoline—catharanthine linkage, a most difficult problem eventually solved by insight and hard work (83). 

A number of chemical products are derived from Sasol s synthetic fuel operations based on the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis including paraffin waxes from the Arge process and several polar and nonpolar hydrocarbon mixtures from the Synthol process. Products suitable for use as hot melt adhesives, PVC lubricants, cormgated cardboard coating emulsions, and poHshes have been developed from Arge waxes. Wax blends containing medium and hard wax fractions are useful for making candles, and over 20,000 t/yr of wax are sold for this appHcation. 

More information on noncommercially available ferrites can be found in the Hterature (4,24). Extended reviews on soft (4,24—29) and hard (4,29—32) ferrites are also available. Explanations of magnetic concepts used in this article, such as permeabiHty and coercivity, may be found in magnetism textbooks. 

The physical characteristics of current commercial mbber and spandex fibers are summarized ia Table 1. Typical stress—straia curves for elastomeric fibers, hard fibers, and hard fibers with mechanical stretch properties ate compared ia Eigute 1. 

Filament. Eully drawn flat yams and partially oriented (POY) continuous filament yams are available in yam sizes ranging from about 3.3—33.0 tex (30—300 den) with individual filament linear densities of about 0.055 to 0.55 tex per filament (0.5—5 dpf). The fully drawn hard yams are used directly in fabric manufacturing operations, whereas POY yams are primarily used as feedstock for draw texturing. In the draw texturing process, fibers are drawn and bulked by heat-setting twisted yam or by entangling filaments with an air jet. Both textured and hard yams are used in apparel, sleepwear, outerwear, sportswear, draperies and curtains, and automotive upholstery. 

Caraway Seed. This spice is the dried ripe fmit of Carum carvi L. (UmbeUiferae). It is a biennial plant cultivated extensively in the Netherlands and Hungary, Denmark, Egypt, and North Africa. The seed is brown and hard, about 0.48 cm long, and is curved and tapered at the ends. It is perhaps the oldest condiment cultivated in Europe. The odor is pleasant and the flavor is aromatic, warm, and somewhat sharp (carvone). Caraway is used in dark bread, potatoes, sauerkraut, kuemmel Hqueurs, cheese, applesauce, and cookies. 

The ratio of fluorspar to sulfuric acid fed depends on the relative cost of each raw material. As of this writing, fluorspar is more expensive than sulfuric acid thus, most often a slight excess of sulfuric acid is desirable. Too much sulfuric acid, however, yields a reaction mixture which becomes wet, sticky, corrosive, and hard to handle. 

Chemical Applications. The chemical processing industry uses large amounts of granular and fine powder PTFE. Soft packing appHcations are manufactured from dispersions, and hard packings are molded or machined from stocks and shapes made from granular resin.
