The fundamental steps in CVD, MOCVD and MOMBE processes can be classified as follows [13] ... 

Material properties can be further classified into fundamental properties and derived properties. Fundamental properties are a direct consequence of the molecular structure, such as van der Waals volume, cohesive energy, and heat capacity. Derived properties are not readily identified with a certain aspect of molecular structure. Glass transition temperature, density, solubility, and bulk modulus would be considered derived properties. The way in which fundamental properties are obtained from a simulation is often readily apparent. The way in which derived properties are computed is often an empirically determined combination of fundamental properties. Such empirical methods can give more erratic results, reliable for one class of compounds but not for another. 

Percentage of meteorites seen to fall. Chondrites. Over 90% of meteorites that are observed to fall out of the sky are classified as chondrites, samples that are distinguished from terrestrial rocks in many ways (3). One of the most fundamental is age. Like most meteorites, chondrites have formation ages close to 4.55 Gyr. Elemental composition is also a property that distinguishes chondrites from all other terrestrial and extraterrestrial samples. Chondrites basically have undifferentiated elemental compositions for most nonvolatile elements and match solar abundances except for moderately volatile elements. The most compositionaHy primitive chondrites are members of the type 1 carbonaceous (Cl) class. The analyses of the small number of existing samples of this rare class most closely match estimates of solar compositions (5) and in fact are primary source solar or cosmic abundances data for the elements that cannot be accurately determined by analysis of lines in the solar spectmm (Table 2).

The many methods used in kinetic studies can be classified in two major approaches. The classical study is based on clarification of the reaction mechanism and derivation of the kinetics from the mechanism. This method, if successful, can supply valuable information, by connecting experimental results to basic information about fundamental steps. During the study of reaction mechanisms many considerations are involved. The first of these is thermodynamics, not only for overall reactions, but also on so-called elementary steps. 

Polypeptide chains are folded into one or several discrete units, domains, which are the fundamental functional and three-dimensional structural units. The cores of domains are built up from combinations of small motifs of secondary structure, such as a-loop-a, P-loop-p, or p-a-p motifs. Domains are classified into three main structural groups a structures, where the core is built up exclusively from a helices p structures, which comprise antiparallel p sheets and a/p structures, where combinations of p-a-P motifs form a predominantly parallel p sheet surrounded by a helices. 

The stereochemistry of the most fundamental reaction types such as addition, substitution, and elimination are described by terms which specify the stereochemical relationship between the reactants and products. Addition and elimination reactions are classified as syn or anti, depending on whether the covalent bonds which are made or broken are on the same face or opposite faces of the plane of the double bond. 

It is these differences in in-house boiler plant facility resources and the perceived need to obtain technical support from an external source that led me to consider grouping boiler plant systems in a slightly different way than is typically perceived, which in turn provided a focus for this book. Thus, although commercial, industrial, and utility steam generators can be classified in several different ways (such as by pressure, output, fundamental design type, etc.), their owners and operators can be classified as members of one or other of only two groups. 

The more recent work finds its origin in the developments in theoretical organic chemistry which occurred after 1930. By means of the electronic theory of G. N. Lewis and by the consistent application of the ionic theory and that of equilibria to organic chemistry, C. K. Ingold and others began to classify the many compounds and reactions according to fundamental principles, a process which is well known to have yielded a rich harvest. 

The names come from the fact that spectroscopic lines were once classified as sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental.

Of particular interest is the fundamental science and technology of the solid solutions between II-VI binary compounds. These isovalent alloys may be classified according to the scheme introduced previously (see Sect. 1.2.3) - a convenient matrix diagram comprising their observed structures can be found in a publication of Wei and Zunger [102]. 

A way to classify wastestreams is to consider them intrinsic, extrinsic, or somewhere in-between. Intrinsic wastes are inherent in the fundamental process configuration, whereas extrinsic ones are associated with the auxiliary aspects of the operation. 

The various flow instabilities are classified in Table 6.1. An instability is compound when several elementary mechanisms interact in the process and cannot be studied separately. It is simple (or fundamental) in the opposite sense. A secondary phenomenon is a phenomenon that occurs after the primary one. The term secondary phenomenon is used only in the very important particular case when the occurrence of the primary phenomenon is a necessary condition for the occurrence of the secondary one.
