The demand-related exposure is the historical number of demands for change of state experienced by the equipment population. In theory, the evaluation of this demand exposure is rather simple. In practice, the number of demands on a piece of equipment can originate from four different sources testing, automatic and manual initiation, failure related maintenance, and interfacing maintenance. The contribution each of these categories makes to demand related exposures is summarized below ... 

Among the theories of limited applicability, those of heterogeneous catalysis processes have been most developed (4, 5, 48). They are based on the assumption of many active sites with different activity, the distribution of which may be either random (23) or thermodynamic (27, 28, 48). Multiple adsorption (46, 47) and tunnel effects (4, 46) also are considered. It seems, however, that there is in principle no specific feature of isokinetic behavior in heterogeneous catalysis. It is true only that the phenomenon has been discovered in this category and that it can be followed easily because of large possible changes of temperature. 

Fluorescent probes are divided in two categories, i.e., intrinsic and extrinsic probes. Tryptophan is the most widely used intrinsic probe. The absorption spectrum, centered at 280 nm, displays two overlapping absorbance transitions. In contrast, the fluorescence emission spectrum is broad and is characterized by a large Stokes shift, which varies with the polarity of the environment. The fluorescence emission peak is at about 350 nm in water but the peak shifts to about 315 nm in nonpolar media, such as within the hydrophobic core of folded proteins. Vitamin A, located in milk fat globules, may be used as an intrinsic probe to follow, for example, the changes of triglyceride physical state as a function of temperature [20]. Extrinsic probes are used to characterize molecular events when intrinsic fluorophores are absent or are so numerous that the interpretation of the data becomes ambiguous. Extrinsic probes may also be used to obtain additional or complementary information from a specific macromolecular domain or from an oil water interface. 

The second step and the focus of this chapter was to evaluate the emission load of individual foods from the list of most common foods. There was used the simplified Life Cycle Assessment method in which only the Climate change Impact category was assessed. Detailed description of the LCA methodology is shown in the literature review, the following text describes practical method implementation.Food emission load evaluation using the LCA method... 

The results were calculated using the SIMA Pro software. To obtain the necessary results, the Recipe Midpoint (H) Europe method has been chosen as a characterization model. Results come from the climate change impact category and they are expressed in kg of a carbon dioxide equivalent (C02e). 

Most thermochemical calorimetric methods are used to determine enthalpy changes of chemical reactions. The reaction may give the enthalpy of interest directly or may represent a step in a thermodynamic cycle needed to obtain an enthalpy of interest. These techniques are also very suitable for direct determination of enthalpy of mixing in the liquid state or indirect determination of enthalpy of mixing in the solid state. Calorimetric methods for studies of chemical reactions involving solids can be divided into three main categories ... 

Examples of Category 3 applications include changes to the specifications of the active ingredient, change of shelf life or storage conditions, and change of trade name. 

Indeed, these categorizations are produced by the demands of the market, and by legislative and national needs. The chemometrician must check whether the measured data justify and make possible the categorization, because there are usually variables that are not always identified or measurable that cause changes of sample composition. The distribution of the samples in the space of these variables is not homogeneous but is in narrow ranges that define the related categories. 

A wider comparative use of these bayesian methods (PD-BA, MD-BA, BACLASS) seems useful, because the relative performances would probably change acxiording to the skewness and correlation of variables, and the overlap of categories. 

Quite a number of interesting solid-state reactions have been observed that do not quite fit into the categories of earlier sections. These include reactions of coordinated ligands, changes of coordination number or geometry and polymerization reactions. Limitations of space do not permit detailed discussions of these reactions.
