Siace cocoa butter is a natural fat, derived from different varieties of cocoa beans, no single set of specifications or chemical characteristics can apply. Codex has attempted to define the physical and chemical parameters of the various types of cocoa butter (14) (Table 5). 

It should be clearly pointed out that with anodic interference according to the data in Fig. 2-6 in Section 2.2.4.1, the corrosivity of the electrolyte for the particular material has no influence on the current exit corrosion. On the other hand, the conductivity of the electrolyte has an effect according to Eqs. (24-102) and (20-4). Chemical parameters have a further influence that determines the formation of surface films and the polarization resistance. 

Thermo-diffusion calculations analyze the migration of hazardous material from compartment to compartment to release in containment. These calculations use physico-chemical parameters to predict the retention of hazardous materials by filtration, deposition on cold surfaces and other retention processes in the operation. Containment event trees aid in determining the amount, duration and types of hazardous material that leaves the containment.

Finally, a number of studies146"149 have demonstrated that a variety of enzymes purified from tissues of older animals have a decreased specific activity when compared to the enzyme purified from younger animals. These proteins, however, appear to be identical as measured by a variety of physical and chemical parameters. It is possible that one of the differences is due to the accumulation of Met(O) residues in the proteins of the older animals. 

Our investigations agree with arguments in earlier articles by other authors, namely that empirical reactivity indices provide the best correlation with the goal values of the cationic polymerization (lg krel, DPn, molecular weight). On the other hand, the quantum chemical parameters are often based on such simplified models that quantitative correlations with experimental goal values remain unsatisfactory 84,85>. But HMO calculations for vinyl monomers show, that it is possible to determine intervals of values for quantum chemical parameters which reflect the anionic and cationic polymerizability 72,74) (see part 4.1.1) as well as grades of the reactivity (see part 3.2). 

The ability to ionically polymerize apparently correlates in many cases with the capacity of the substituents to act as electron acceptors (anionic polymerizability) or as electron donors (cationic polymerizability) on the rt-bond of the vinyl group. These relationships should be visible in carefully chosen quantum chemical parameters. 

In the case of the anionic polymerizability it is possible to find limits of the quantum chemical parameters which separate those monomers capable of polymerization from those not (see Table 9). 

Records of past environmental change are preserved in a broad range of Earth materials. Past environments are inferred from "proxy" records, meaning measurements of physical and chemical parameters of marine and terrestrial sediment, polar ice, and other materials that were in some way influenced by their environment during accumulation. Examples of proxy records are the distribution of glacial deposits, the isotopic composition of terrestrial and marine sediments and ice, the abundance and species composition of plant and animal fossils, and the width of tree rings. 

Inputs from WWTP effluents can also affect the hydrologic and nutrient concentration regimes of recipient streams at different temporal scales. Daily variations of these parameters may be exacerbated in streams below the WWTP input by the diel patterns of the effluent discharge associated with plant operation [46]. In contrast, at the annual scale, seasonal variations of physical and chemical parameters upstream of the WWTP may be dampened by the constant input of additional water and nutrients from the WWTP. At its extreme, naturally intermittent or ephemeral streams may turn into permanent streams downstream of WWTPs [28, 30]. In these effluent-dominated streams, the relative contribution of WWTP inputs may vary widely on an annual basis, as shown by the 3-100% range measured in a Mediterranean stream [47]. Finally, WWTP inputs also cause shifts in the relative availability of N and P as well as in the relative importance of reduced and oxidized forms of N in the stream [30, 47]. The magnitude of these shifts depends on the level of wastewater treatment (i.e., primary, secondary, or tertiary treatment), the type of WWTP infrastructure (e.g., activated sludge reactor. 

Situation There are two vendors for a particular bulk chemical who meet all written specifications. The products are equally useful for the intended reaction as far as the chemical parameters are concerned both comply in terms of one physical parameter, the size distribution of the crystals, but on the shop floor the feeling prevails that there is a difference. Because the speed of dissolution might become critical under certain combinations of process variables, the chemical engineers would favor a more finely divided raw material. On the other hand, too many fine particles could also cause problems (dust, static charging). 

The carbon dioxide concentration in the film can also be controlled by other physical and chemical parameters, for instance the type of catalyst (influencing the reaction rate constants) or the use of more hydrophobic resin (influencing the water concentration). 

The modeling of steady-state problems in combustion and heat and mass transfer can often be reduced to the solution of a system of ordinary or partial differential equations. In many of these systems the governing equations are highly nonlinear and one must employ numerical methods to obtain approximate solutions. The solutions of these problems can also depend upon one or more physical/chemical parameters. For example, the parameters may include the strain rate or the equivalence ratio in a counterflow premixed laminar flame (1-2). In some cases the combustion scientist is interested in knowing how the system mil behave if one or more of these parameters is varied. This information can be obtained by applying a first-order sensitivity analysis to the physical system (3). In other cases, the researcher may want to know how the system actually behaves as the parameters are adjusted. As an example, in the counterflow premixed laminar flame problem, a solution could be obtained for a specified value of the strain... 

All disinfection and sterilization processes for equipment should be validated, for preference using a microbiological challenge with an organism of appropriate resistance to the disinfectant, sterilant or sterilizing conditions. Once the required log reduction of the challenge organism has been achieved, physical and/or chemical parameters can be set which form the critical control points for the process. 

An understanding ofthe influence ofthe chemical and physico-chemical parameters of an environment on microorganisms might allow for subtle manipulation of a formulation to create conditions which are as unfavourable as possible for growth and spoilage. 

As part of the design proeess, it is neeessary to inelude features in the formulation and delivery system to provide as mueh proteetion as possible against microbial eontaminahon and spoilage. Beeause of potenhal toxicity and irritancy problems, anhmicrobial preservatives should only be considered where there is clear evidence of posihve benefit. Manipulahon of physico-chemical parameters, such as A, the eliminahon of particularly suscephble ingredients, the selection of a preservahve or the choice of container may contribute significantly to overall medicine stability. 

Accordingly, the above-mentioned complex formation was used as a test reaction to gather physico-chemical parameters and to validate quantitatively predictions of the spatial and temporal evolutions of concentrations [17]. 

Most of these studies, mainly in the period 1955 to 1970, have been concerned with cathodic hydrogen evolution. Different parameters characterizing the bulk properties of each metal have been adduced, including physical parameters such as electron work funchon, electrical conductivity, hardness, compressibility, temperature of evaporation, and heat of evaporation, and chemical parameters such as the affinity to hydrogen or oxygen.
