Another Story

Spectroscopic detemiination of the HE rotational distribution is another story. In both the chemical laser and infrared chemiluminescence experiments, rotational relaxation due to collisions is faster or at least comparable to the time scale of the measurements, so that accurate detemiination of the nascent rotational distribution was not feasible. However, Nesbitt [40, 41] has recently carried out direct infrared absorption experiments on the HE product under single-collision conditions, thereby obtaining a fiill vibration-rotation distribution for the nascent products. 

Chemical analysis, however, is often another story. Here the limitations are serious enough that absorptiometry with polychromatic beams can generally be used only if the qualitative composition of the sample is known—often only if the matrix (by which is meant all of the sample except the element being determined) changes little from sample to sample. 

Indeed, when new countries like the U K. France or China became nuclear powers, countries which were already members of the club were strongly opposed, but now it is quite well accepted that possession of nuclear weapons by those countries did not provoke a catastrophe. Some even consider that the existence of nuclear weapons in different camps was a stabilizing factor during the Cold War and prevented a major conflict during the past half-century. Why, then, the possession by India should not stabilize the relation between India and China, and by Pakistan the relation between Pakistan and India, preventing major conflicts in these zones At least the question may be asked. In the same way, the possession by Israel of nuclear weapons, in the opinion of some, has stabilized the situation in the Middle East. In any case, when a country has decided that it is worth while to make the effort and take the risks of developing nuclear weapons, it seems that after some initial outcry, the world accepts it without major retaliation That shows some kind of hypocrisy in the initial claim of a fundamental evil connected with the proliferation of nuclear weapons. The real issue is probably to avoid the acquisition of nuclear weapons by unstable, not very democratic countries. May be Pakistan is in that category clearly the West would not like Libya or Iran and Iraq to possess such weapons. A real, major issue is full nuclear disarmament, but this is another story. 

The properties of modern electronic, optoelectronic, photonic, and magnetic devices provide another story of great science that has affected most of humankind. Electronic devices require special materials materials that emit light when struck by a beam of electrons for use in television screens and computer monitors, materials to make the semiconductors that are the heart of electronic and microelectronic circuits, and materials that are used in magnetic memory storage devices for computers. 

In this way the unstable 1,3-dioxacycloalkanes and their oligomers would be converted into stable ethers. This has been proved experimentally, and the reaction offers some exciting synthetic possibilities [17, 18]. In particular, it provides a new route to a variety of new crown ethers, such as the l,4,7,10-tetraoxa-ll,ll-dimethylcyclotridecane (a 13-crown-[4]-ether) from isobutene and the formal of triethylene glycol but that is another story ... 

As a result, the limited ability of unit processes to create a viable niche for themselves within chemical engineering must ultimately be understood in terms which also involve unit operations. Although the historical resilience of unit processes turned out to be less than that of unit operations, it was no different in its essential elements. Studying the uneasy and ultimately unsuccessful career of unit processes can therefore be easily justified as a way to shed light on the far more successful career of unit operations. In particular, the career of unit processes raises a hypothesis about the evolution of unit operations. The staying power of unit operations was not so much because of the structural coherence of its conceptual elements as its essential links with social and, more specifically, professional groups. As a theoretical entity, unit operations appears far less stable and, in fact, appears quickly threatened by notions which rest on fewer and more fundamental scientific concepts. Ultimately, this threat came to be realized with the advent of transport phenomena, but this is another story. In effect, unit processes can be interpreted as both the attempt to extend the reach of unit operations and a symptom of their conceptual fragility. 

The ammoxidacion reaction is carried out at about 800°F and 30 psi. Because it is highly exothermic, heat is removed continuously from the reactor by hear exchangers. The residence time of the reactants is about three seconds. The reaction gases are cooled as they pass by the water-to-steam heat exchanger in the reactor. The effluent is treated for removal of ammonia by scrubbing it with water acidified with sulfuric acid, forming ammonium sulfate, a marketable commodity that can be recovered by crystallization. But that s another story. 

Breakfast was another story. Whatever contribution the beer had made to the evening s conversation it must have been minimal. 

A thorough understanding of systems is necessary if basic changes are to he made. This concept is the foundation of the Rohm and Haas Texas system for process safety management Know what you want to do. But that is another story. ... 

However, this is not the end of the story. Calcnlations carried ont in a spherically symmetric context mnst now be extended to inclnde clearly or subtly anisotropic effects, in order to model jets, rotation and the like. Three-dimensional numerical simulation is required. Astrophysicists should proht from considerable progress made in hydrodynamics with the development of extremely powerful lasers in France and the United States, but that is another Story. ... 

Theophrastus was frail and sickly as an infant and suffered from rickets as a child. The effects of the disease can be seen in an etching that was made of Paracelsus as an adult. According to legend, he was also a eunuch, the result of an encounter with a wild boar. Another story says that he was castrated by some drunken soldiers. No one really knows which story is true or whether Paracelsus was indeed emasculated. Portraits of him as an adult never show him as having a beard, and he never became involved with any woman. Furthermore, he once declared that it was better to be a eunuch than an adulterer. On the other hand, he became bald in his later life and eunuchs almost never go bald. 

Alfred Nobel in Sweden developed this process for manufacturing and selling TNT, became extremely wealthy in the process, and donated some of his wealth to establish prizes for important inventions in science and peace (but that is another story). 

Fillers serve numerous functions but common to all events is their effect brought about by increasing the viscosity of the formulation. There is the strong possibility of a vigorous attack by the operating environment on what is basically the reinforcing mechanism of the elastomer in highly loaded compounds. The function of cross links requires no elaboration. How they are created and how they subsequently perform is another story told in chapter 10. 

A rather typical boiler is shown in Fig. 15.2. This is the sort of boiler one might rent to generate 50,000 lb/h of 150-psig steam. Incidentally, rented process equipment does not have to be returned to the owner if the plant files for bankruptcy. But that is another story. 

In the case of meat and most vegetables, phase changes induced by freezing temperatures are easily reversed with melting or thawing. The liquids and solids in meat freeze and melt without much noticeable affect on taste. Likewise, the liquids and solids in most vegetables can freeze and melt without trouble. But fruit is another story. 

P. W. Fowler (University of Exeter, UJ .). The only closed shells in fullerenes are those that obey the 6k + 60 rule, and another series that obeys the 30 + 70 rule. If you want closed shells you will not get one, electronically, below C60. So the question of whether C60 is aromatic is another story. I think the chemistry is showing that C60 is anything but aromatic, and the serendipity was trying to think of an aromatic system, finding one, and then realizing that it wasn t. 

It is not appropriate here to comment on these new rules except that they are consistent with the competitive global marketplace which must be considered in planning industrial activities. My guess is that by the end of the decade we shall be seeing a return to longer term fundamental research in industry but in areas different from those that are now popular. But that is another story. 

An effective QSAR parameter should correlate only to its specific property, be it electronics, lipophilicity, sterics, or something else, a- Values for R-groups in the meta and para positions have been found to account for only electronic effects. Substitution at the ortho position, however, is another story. Because ortho substituents are physically so close to the carboxylic acid, ortho R-groups affect the acid-base equilibrium through both electronic and steric effects. Therefore, the ortho tr-value (electronic parameter for QSAR studies. Despite their limitations, Hammett constants are by far the most commonly encountered electronic parameter in Hansch analysis. 

In one of the alchemical legends, the Father swallows the Son, and then sweats him out, whereupon he becomes a more glorious Son. In another more ancient legend, Saraswati lies in the bosom of Brahmn, who breathes her out. Minerva springing from the brow of Jupiter is another story illustrating the same truth. 

What moves me most is when I hear yet another story of a child who has developed MCS and must deal with such huge limitations, problems and incomprehension at such a young age. A child is j ust starting his life, has to go to school, make a career, find a partner, start a family and so on. These normal life events are in some cases very difficult or even impossible for young MCS patients, which breaks my heart. When I learn of a new case of MCS my reaction is usually very emotional. I cry for these young canaries and how early they lost their freedom. 

The expression for k2 is another story. Figure 6 shows plots of the values of k2 against reciprocal temperature. Warnatz developed and used his own expression and we have employed Hamp-son s (9). To use them in our codes we both have assumed that the respective expressions are valid for temperatures greater than 1000K, the upper limit of applicability of each. 

One report stated thickness measurement a short distance away from the rupture showed the line was a nearly full design thickness. Investigators concluded the line failure was the result of the thinning of the Schedule 120 carbon steel 90-degree elbow due to long-term erosion/corrosion. [21] Another story stated the piping was originally or nominally 0.625 inches thick, but had worn down to 0.085 inches. [27] That represents an 86-percent wall loss. 

NB On the negative- axis, it is another story. Because of the infinite values that e(i ) takes on for < 0, the heuristic derivation (Level 3, Subsection L3.3) of the van der Waals force loses rigor. The derivation requires assuming symmetry about the real-frequency axis [Eqs. (L3.46) and (L3.47)]. In practice, because the eigenfrequencies used in summing the forces are far from the = where e(/ ) misbehaves by taking... 

In another story, a young woman went to an institution where she joined an all-male laboratory group soon after the departure of another woman who had become pregnant and left the laboratory under emotional conditions. It appears that the men in her group felt that women achieved their ends by means that were inappropriate in the workplace. The narrator of this story was determined not to behave that way, but finally, after months of unsupportive treatment she asked, What do you think you are doing anyhow and the answer was, We are just treating you like one of the guys. ... 

We can be thankful, in this case, to Mr Leroy Moody, a terminal fruit-loop who thought he could redirect American society by sending federal judges bombs in the mail. He would have been better advised just to try bribing judges, but that s another story unrelated to explosives. 

Approximately 80 % of modern drugs came initially from natural sources. There are more different species of plants in the rain forests than in any other area on Earth. Many of these species are yet to be discovered and studied in detail. Every year, thousands of plant samples are collected by drug companies to find out whether they have any anti-disease activity. Many of them do. In the mean time, we continue to destroy the rain forests just to obtain teak furniture or some extra peanuts, but that is another story. This area of research is considered in more detail in Chapter 14. 

Manned space flight in Earth orbit is inefficient, and somewhat dangerous, but not overwhelmingly expensive. Mars space flight is another story. The cost of getting people there and back would be one trillion dollars Biology is the reason to go there. If we were to find a live bacterium in the sedimentary rock of Mars, that would be a monumental discovery. But humans are loaded inside and outside with bacteria that would surely contaminate the Martian environment and defeat the scientific purpose of the mission. Furthermore, the remote-controlled Mars rovers have successfully discovered tan-...

Although Nova Scotia doesn t share a land border with New England, water passage is another story. The province shares many connections through tourism, particularly through cruise ships and ferries, which run regularly from Bar Harbor and Portland, Maine, to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Cruise ships, which travel up the eastern seaboard, often dock in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and it is through these visits that infectious disease can spread most readily. 

What is the explanation for this Another story illustrates the more serious effects that can result from exposure to this solvent.
