Indonesia is a tropical country with about 144 million Ha of tropical forest, producing a large amount of natural polymers, mainly natural rubber and wood products. In 1991 the total production of natural rubber was about 1.36 million tonnes while the production of log was about 40 million. Such large amount and various kinds of natural polymers were subject to investigation by a number of research centers since before the second WW. Center for the Application of Isotopes and Radiation, using radiation technique as a tool to modify the property of various natural polymers in order to meet the industries. Several Cobalt-60 sources and electron beam machine (EBM) from a small scale to a pilot scale are available. Other polymers such as synthetic fibers also becoming a subject of investigation.

We thank the contributions of many group members, especially Drs. D. Riccardi and P. Koenig, without whom the work discussed here could not have been done. The studies were partially supported from the ACS-PRF-38186-G4, National Science Foundation (MCB-0314327,CHEM-CAREER-0348649) and the National Institutes of Health (R01-GM071428-01). Q.C. also acknowledges a Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship and discussions with Prof. D. M. York on many QM/MM related topics. Computational resources from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois are greatly appreciated. 

In 1993, the Center for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS) published Guidelines for Safe Automation of Chemical Processes (referred to henceforth as Safe Automation). Safe Automation provides guidelines for the application of automation systems used to control and shut down chemical and petrochemical processes. The popularity of one of the hazard and risk analysis methods presented in Safe Automation led to the publication of the 2001 Concept Series book from CCPS, Layer of Protection Analysis A Simplified Risk Assessment Approach. This method builds upon traditional process hazards analysis techniques. It uses a semiquantitative approach to define the required performance for each identified protective system. 

In the previous chapter we have introduced the physical basis of the interpretation of optical spectra of centers in crystals. The main effect of these centers is to introduce new energy levels within the energy gap of the crystal, so that the transitions among these levels produce new optical bands that are not present in the perfect crystal. Due to these absorption and emission bands, centers in crystals are relevant for a variety of applications, such as solid state lasers, amplifiers and phosphors for fluorescent lighting and cathode ray tubes. In this chapter, we will describe the main characteristics of the relevant centers for these applications. 

In principle, all of the elements of the periodic table can be used to iucorporate foreign ions in crystals. Actually, only a number of elements have been used for optically active centres in crystals in other words, only a number of elements can be incorporated in ionic form and give rise to energy levels within the gap separated by optical energies. The most relevant centers for technological applications (although not the unique ones) are based on ions formed from the transition metal and rare earth series of the periodic table, so we will focus our attention on these centers.

Similarily, the 4,14-dicarboxylic acid 56 with C2-symmetry could also be resolved via its 1-phenylethylamine salts and its configuration unambiguously correlated with the monocarboxylic acid 55 through the monobromo derivative 5878). Accordingly 55 and 56 with the same sign of optical rotation have the same chirality. Many racemic and optically active homo- and heterodisubstituted 4,12- and 4,14-disubstituted [2.2]metacyclophanes have been prepared and chemically correlated 78,79) mainly to study their chiroptical properties78). Whereas 4,12-homodisubstituted compounds have a center of inversion ( -symmetry) and are therefore achiral meso-forms , the corresponding 4,14-isomers are chiral with C2-symmetry. All heterodisubstituted products are chiral (Q-symmetry see also Section 2.9.4 for the discussion of their chiroptical properties and their use as models for the application of the theory of chirality functions). 

Facilities, personnel, equipment qualification Review of the information and inspection of the establishment to determine compliance with cGMP requirements is a Field responsibility. Equipment specification or specifications Audit of the data submitted for CDER review in the application is a Field responsibility. CDER scientists are responsible for the review of equipment specifications furnished to the center in the application. 

For the case that no convection stream is applied, the time, which elapses between the start of shear flow and the establishment of the temperature maximum in the center of the gap has been reported to be useful for the measurement. This measurement could be carried out within 10 sec (202). The possibility of such a procedure, however, follows from the theoretical treatment only for relatively wide gaps of d > 2 mms. For metal cylinders (199) as well as for glass cylinders (203) times of establishment can be calculated which are definitely too short for the application of this method, when smaller gap widths are used.
