Characteristics and Features

Fuel cells have many inherent advantages over conventional combustion-based systems, making them one of the strongest candidates to be the energy conversion device of the future (Fig. 2.5). They also have some inherent disadvantages that require further research and development to overcome them.

Sample collection and preparation covers in vitro and in vivo studies, and the later involves humans or model animals. In this field the samples can be materials with very different characteristics and features. From an analytical point of view, samples could be divided into two categories liquid samples and...

A hierarchical succession of steps marks out the wood quality chain, beginning with the intrinsic characteristics and features of the wood cell (Table 5.1). The spatial arrangement hints at the relationships between characteristics, properties and product specifications, but they are less obvious than is usually acknowledged. For furniture one would expect adequate density (revealed in properties such as stiffness, strength and hardness), straight grain, absence of reaction wood and tight knots... 

Dendrimers are a relatively new class of macromolecules different from the conventional linear, crosslinked, or branched polymers. Dendrimers are particularly interesting because of their nanoscopic dimensions and their regular, well-defined, and highly branched three-dimensional architecture. In contrast to polymers, these new types of macromolecules can be viewed as an ordered ensemble of monomeric building blocks. Their tree-like, monodispersed structures lead to a number of interesting characteristics and features globular, void-containing shapes, and unusual physical properties [107-111]. 

Inverters are employed to convert d.c. drawn from battery banks to a.c. The ideal inverter should possess the following performance characteristics and features. 

As stated above, every catalyst prepared in small-scale has to be representative for a commercially produced one and include all basic characteristics and features. Thus, the preparation equipment must reflect the production capabilities as much as possible. All equipment described below was chosen and developed to meet these requirements. 

Abstract This chapter gives an overview of strategies used in the identification and analysis of environmental transformation products of three important groups of synthetic chemicals pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. The characteristics and features of modern mass spectrometric instrumentation coupled to liquid chromatographic separation techniques as well as complementary techniques are presented and examples of their application to the characterization of transformation products of synthetic chemicals are described. Analytical methodologies for the quantitative analysis of the intact parent compounds and their transformation products in the environment are compiled.

During the initial screening of the asset, a variety of data can be collected. By way of example, known information on existing characteristics and features of a particular asset can be obtained. The asset can then be broken down into subsystems, and each subsystem can be analyzed to identify mechanisms that can potentially lead to the loss of asset performance in terms of capacity, injectivity, and containment (process). The mechanisms can then be evaluated and ranked, and appropriate mitigation measures can be determined for some or all of the mechanisms (risk mitigation measures). Uncertainties can also be identified and characterization needs and solutions can be prioritized. 

Quality—Conformance to requirements or fitness for use. Quality can be defined through five principal approaches (1) Transcendent quality is an ideal, a condition of excellence. (2) Product-based quality is based on a product attribute. (3) User-based quality is fitness for use. (4) Manufacturing-based quality is conformance to requirements. (5) Value-based quality is the degree of excellence at an acceptable price. Also, quality has two major components (1) quality of conformance—quality is defined by the absence of defects, and (2) quality of design—quality is measured by the degree of customer satisfaction with a product s characteristics and features.

Here, general characteristics and features of fault tolerant designs are discussed. 

A detailed discussion of performance characteristics and features follows, along with a discussion of typical thermographic display approaches utilized by various imager manufacturers. This is followed by a discussion of currently available thermographic image archiving, processing and report preparation software. 

Finally, a tabulation of currently available instruments by category and manufacturer is appended, including a digest of performance characteristics and features. A current index of manufacturers websites, addresses and phone numbers is also appended. 

Although the many types of battery available may seem to make a proper choice difficult, the problem can be somewhat simplified by first outlining the application requirements and then matching a battery to the job. The preliminary information that must be available before a battery can be specified is set out below. The discussion of the basic characteristics and features of various batteries in the following sections will indicate which one(s) are most suitable for the application. Unfortunately, the ideal characteristics cannot be found in any one battery design nor can the characteristics of one batteiy always be compared directly with those of another. Therefore optimum performance of a battery in an application can usually be achieved best...
