From 1994 to 1999, the L125 project was in the Capability Definition Phase (Phase 1), with DSTO providing predominantly Operations Research (OR) support to define the scope and the feasibility of the project in order to demonstrate that L125 was both needed and viable. As mnch SCS-relevant technology was still considered too immature, the S T effort focused on developing a methodology to assess the effect on dismounted individnal soldier and team performance. This comprised the analytical tools of field assessment, the science of how to do the...

An acid was once defined simply as a substance which produces hydrogen ions, or protons. However, the simple proton, H , is never found under ordinary conditions, and this definition required amendment. Bronsted and, independently, Lowry, therefore redefined an acid as a susbstance able to donate protons to other molecules or ions, and a base as a substance capable of accepting such protons. If we consider hydrogen chloride, HCl, as an example, the HCl molecule is essentially covalent, and hydrogen chloride (gas or liquid) contains no protons. But anhydrous hydrogen chloride in benzene will react with anhydrous ammonia ... 

Description of the Method. The operational definition of water hardness is the total concentration of cations in a sample capable of forming insoluble complexes with soap. Although most divalent and trivalent metal ions contribute to hardness, the most important are Ca + and Mg +. Hardness is determined by titrating with EDTA at a buffered pH of 10. Eriochrome Black T or calmagite is used as a visual indicator. Hardness is reported in parts per million CaCOs. 

A modified definition of resonance energy has been introduced by Dewar (66T(S8)75, 69JA6321) in which the reference point is the corresponding open-chain polyene. In principle this overcomes the difficulties inherent in comparing observed stability with that of an idealized molecule with pure single and double bonds, as thermochemical data for the reference acyclic polyenes are capable of direct experimental determination. In practice, as the required data were not available, recourse was made to theoretical calculations using a semiempirical SCF-MO method. The pertinent Dewar Resonance Energies are listed in Table 30. 

As microprocessor-based controls displaced hardwired electronic and pneumatic controls, the impac t on plant safety has definitely been positive. When automated procedures replace manual procedures for routine operations, the probability of human errors leading to hazardous situations is lowered. The enhanced capability for presenting information to the process operators in a timely manner and in the most meaningful form increases the operator s awareness of the current conditions in the process. Process operators are expected to exercise due diligence in the supervision of the process, and timely recognition of an abnormal situation reduces the likelihood that the situation will progress to the hazardous state. Figure 8-88 depicts the layers of safety protection in a typical chemical jdant.

While 30 ppm may be acceptable as a maximum probability of occurrence for a failure of low severity, it is not acceptable as severity increases. An example table of FMEA Severity Ratings was shown in Figure 2.20. In the definite return to manufacturer (a warranty return) or violation of statutory requirement region (S = 5 or S = 6), the designer would seek ways to enhance the process capability or else utilize some inspection or test process. Reducing d will reduce occurrence, as indicated by equation 2.11, but inspection or test is of limited efficiency. 

A mobile source of air pollution can be defined as one capable of moving from one place to another under its own power. According to this definition, an automobile is a mobile source and a portable asphalt batching plant is not. Generally, mobile sources imply transportation, but sources such as construction equipment, gasoUne-powered lawn mowers, and gasoline-powered tools are included in this category. 

The title of the book requires that a definition of plastics materials be given. This is however very difficult. For the purpose of this book I eventually used as a working definition Those materials which are considered to be plastics materials by common acceptance . Not a positive definition but one which is probably less capable of being criticised than any other definition I have seen. Perhaps a rather more useful definition but one which requires clarification is... 

If we now transfer our two interacting particles from the vacuum (whose dielectric constant is unity by definition) to a hypothetical continuous isotropic medium of dielectric constant e > 1, the electrostatic attractive forces will be attenuated because of the medium s capability of separating charge. Quantitative theories of this effect tend to be approximate, in part because the medium is not a structureless continuum and also because the bulk dielectric constant may be an inappropriate measure on the molecular scale. Eurther discussion of the influence of dielectric constant is given in Section 8.3. 

Electron correlation studies demand basis sets that are capable of very high accuracy, and the 6-31IG set I used for the examples above is not truly adequate. A number of basis sets have been carefully designed for correlation studies, for example the correlation consistent basis sets of Dunning. These go by the acronyms cc-pVDZ, cc-pVTZ, cc-pVQZ, cc-pV5Z and cc-pV6Z (double, triple, quadruple, quintuple and sextuple-zeta respectively). They include polarization functions by definition, and (for example) the cc-pV6Z set consists of 8. 6p, 4d, 3f, 2g and Ih basis functions. 

Interconversion between two tautomeric structures can occur via discrete cationic or anionic intermediates (scheme 24, where T is an anion capable of reacting with a proton at a minimum of two distinct sites). Alternatively, interconversion can occur by simultaneous loss and gain of different protons (scheme 25, w here T has the same definition as in scheme 24). These mechanisms are well established for acyclic compounds, but they have been much less thoroughly investigated for heteroaromatic systems. The rate of interconversion of two tautomers is greatest when both of the alternative atoms to which the mobile proton can be attached arc hetero atoms, and isolation of the separate isomers is usually impossible in this case. If one of the alternative atoms involved in the tautomerization is carbon, the rate of interconversion is somewhat slower, but still fast. When both of the atoms in question are carbon, however, interconversion is... 

Often, an important consideration in the definition of a missile s mission is the ability to stop the rocket motor upon demand. Such capability provides the opportunity to exercise control over the flight path and to make corrections where necessary. Solid propellants do not readily lend themselves to start-stop applications because the oxidizer and fuel are already mixed, and... 

Changes in the composition of gaseous products as reaction proceeds may make definition of the fractional decomposition, a, difficult. For example, product CO and residual carbon may be capable of reducing a metallic oxide, particularly at high a and the catalytic properties of an accumulating solid product may result in promotion of secondary gas reactions.
