Calm, calming

I 0-1 Calm Calm smoke rises vertically. Sea like a minor. 

Drilling Jackets are small steel platform structures which are used in areas of shallow and calm water. A number of wells may be drilled from one jacket. If a jacket is too small to accommodate a drilling operation, a jack-up rig (see below) is usually cantilevered over the jacket and the operation carried out from there. Once a viable development has been proven It is extremely cost effective to build and operate jackets in a shallow... 

Steel piled jackets are the most common type of platform and are employed in a wide range of sea conditions, from the comparative calm of the South China Sea to the hostile Northern North Sea. Steel jackets are used in water depths of up to 150 metres and may support production facilities a further 50 metres above mean sea level. In deep water all the process and support facilities are normally supported on a single jacket, but in shallow seas it may be cheaper and safer to support drilling, production... 

With the fomi of free energy fiinctional prescribed in equation (A3.3.52). equation (A3.3.43) and equation (A3.3.48) respectively define the problem of kinetics in models A and B. The Langevin equation for model A is also referred to as the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation (if the noise temi is ignored) the model B equation is often referred to as the Calm-Flilliard-Cook equation, and as the Calm-Flilliard equation in the absence of the noise temi. 

In two classic papers [18, 46], Calm and Flilliard developed a field theoretic extension of early theories of micleation by considering a spatially inliomogeneous system. Their free energy fiinctional, equations (A3.3.52). has already been discussed at length in section A3.3.3. They considered a two-component incompressible fluid. The square gradient approximation implied a slow variation of the concentration on the... 

Within this contimiiim approach Calm and Flilliard [48] have studied the universal properties of interfaces. While their elegant scheme is applicable to arbitrary free-energy fiinctionals with a square gradient fomi we illustrate it here for the important special case of the Ginzburg-Landau fomi. For an ideally planar mterface the profile depends only on the distance z from the interfacial plane. In mean field approximation, the profile m(z) minimizes the free-energy fiinctional (B3.6.11). This yields the Euler-Lagrange equation... 

Selected for clinical trials as a compound to calm agitated patients, imipramine was relatively ineffective. However, it was observed to be effective in the treatment of certain depressed patients (38). Early studies on the mechanism of action showed that imipramine potentiates the effects of the catecholamines, primarily norepinephrine. This finding, along with other evidence, led to the hypothesis that the compound exerts its antidepressant effects by elevating norepinephrine levels at central adrenergic synapses. Subsequent studies have shown that the compound is a potent inhibitor of norepinephrine reuptake and, to a lesser extent, the uptake of serotonin, thus fitting the hypothesis that had been developed to explain the antidepressant actions ofMAOIs. 

Other studies indicate that sucrose does not cause hyperactivity. Carbohydrate ingestion increases levels of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine), a brain neurotransmitter that promotes relaxation and sleep. Dietary sucrose should theoretically have a calming effect and reduce activity, manifestations which have been observed in case studies (63). To date, clinical investigations have failed to show a significant connection between sucrose consumption and aggressive or dismptive behavior (66). 

Disturbances upstream of the probe can cause large errors, in part because of the turbulence generated and its effect on the static-pressure measurement. A calming section of at least 50 pipe diameters is desirable. If this is not possible, the use of straightening vanes or a honeycomb is advisable. 

As noted, the weir crest is calculated on an equivalent clear-liquid basis. A more realistic approach is to recognize that in general a froth or spray flows over the outlet weir (settling can occur upstream of the weir if a large calming zone with no dispersers is used). Bennett et al. [AIChE J., 29, 434 (1983)] allowed for froth overflow in a comprehensive study of pressure drop across sieve plates their correlation for residual pressure drop /jf in Eq. (14-87) is represented by Eqs. (14-115) through (14-120) ...

Additional tables are furnished for the other stability classes. Note that calms have been distributed among the directions. Such joint frequency data can be used directly in climatological models such as the Climatological Dispersion Model (CDM) (1). The CDM calculates seasonal or annual concentrations at each receptor by considering sources in each wind sector...

Step 6 Calculate the location of the flame center, which is treated as the source of all radiation from the flame. Only flames bent over by the wind are considered, since for nearly vertical flames (calm air) the effective center of flame radiation is higher off the ground and therefore not limiting for spacing purposes.

Nevertheless, in many cases, mean wind velocities can be assumed. In ventilation-system reliability studies, e.g., where minimum ventilation rates are to be determined, a calm situation with little wind must be assumed anyhow, and the need for accurate wind pressure coefficient data is not so obvious.
