Since overlapping clones failed to provide evidence of the proposed organization of the A locus (Jim Miller, personal communication), definitive mapping of this locus may have to await linkage analysis using pulsed-field electrophoresis [129].

The definition above is a particularly restrictive description of a nanocrystal, and necessarily limits die focus of diis brief review to studies of nanocrystals which are of relevance to chemical physics. Many nanoparticles, particularly oxides, prepared dirough die sol-gel niediod are not included in diis discussion as dieir internal stmcture is amorjihous and hydrated. Neverdieless, diey are important nanoniaterials several textbooks deal widi dieir syndiesis and properties [4, 5]. The material science community has also contributed to die general area of nanocrystals however, for most of dieir applications it is not necessary to prepare fully isolated nanocrystals widi well defined surface chemistry. A good discussion of die goals and progress can be found in references [6, 7, 8 and 9]. Finally, diere is a rich history in gas-phase chemical physics of die study of clusters and size-dependent evaluations of dieir behaviour. This topic is not addressed here, but covered instead in chapter C1.1, Clusters and nanoscale stmctures, in diis same volume. 

According to the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, food additives may be defined as "substances. .. the intended use of which results or may reasonably be expected to result, directly or indirectly, either in their becoming a component of food or otherwise affecting the characteristics of food" (1). Canada and the European Community have adopted similar definitions. According to this broad definition, a food additive is synonymous to a food ingredient. In practice, however, the word additive is limited to substances that are used in small quantities. 

The flash point of PPS, as measured by ASTM D1929, is greater than 500°C. Combustion products of PPS include carbon, sulfur oxides, and carbonyl sulfide. Specific hazards are defined by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (158). Based on information in 1995, PPS does not meet any of the hazard definitions of this standard. 

Because of the diverse appHcatioas involving Hquid atomizers, a large vocabulary of terms has evolved ia the spray community. The American Society for Testing and Materials, ASTM Subcommittee E29.04 on Liquid Particle Characterization, has attempted to standardize the terminology relating to atomizing devices (1). The definitions adopted by ASTM are used herein. 

What this shows is that, from the definition of off-bottom motion to complete uniformity, the effect of mixer power is much less than from going to on-bottom motion to off-bottom suspension. The initial increase in power causes more and more solids to be in active communication with the liquid and has a much greater mass-transfer rate than that occurring above the power level for off-bottom suspension, in which slip velocity between the particles of fluid is the major contributor (Fig. 18-23). 

The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 reauthorized CERCLA to continue cleanup activities around the country. Several site-specific amendments, definitions, clarifications, and technical requirements were added to the legislation, including additional enforcement authorities. Title HI of SARA also authorized the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). 

Although I have defined terms such as quality control and quality assurance in this chapter, what is important is not the definition but the deeds which it imbues. Whether we call the set of principles I have listed under the heading Quality assurance, Quality Assurance, Quality Improvement or Quality Control makes no difference since it does not change the set of principles. We often seem to invent a term then decide what it means rather than invent or discover a set of principles and think of a suitable name which conveys exactly what we intend without confusing people. Instead of saying Quality control is. .. or TQM is. .. to which there will be many propositions, we should be asking What should we call this group of principles so that we can communicate with each other more efficiently As Shakespeare once said That which we call a rose/By any other name would smell as sweet. ... 

Defining individual responsibilities and authority alone will not define how personnel relate to one another. Interrelation means to place in mutual relationship, so what is needed is a definition of the relationships between all staff with quality responsibilities. The primary reason for defining interrelationships is to establish channels of communication so that work proceeds smoothly without unplanned interruption. Staff need to know from whom they will receive their instructions, to whom they are accountable, to whom they should go to seek information to resolve difficulties, and to whom information or product should be submitted when complete. 

Definition of Responsibilities Facility personnel understand their roles and responsibilities in achieving the desired level of PSM performance. Appropriate checks and balances have been establish to minimize confiicts of interest. Internai coordination and communication mechanisms exist. 

All the early work was concerned with atoms, with Sir William Hartree regarded as the father of the technique. His son, Douglas R. Hartree, published the definitive book, The Calculation of Atomic Structures, in 1957, and in this he derived the atomic HF equations and described numerical algorithms for their solution. Charlotte Froese Fischer was a research student working under the guidance of D. R. Hartree, and she published her own definitive book. The Hartree—Fock Method for Atoms A Numerical Approach in 1977. The Appendix lists a number of freely available atomie structure programs. Most of these can be obtained from the Computer Physics Communications Program Library. 

Many people use the term PRESS to refer to the result of leave-one-out cross-validation. This usage is especially common among the community of statisticians. For this reason, the terms PRESS and cross-validation are sometimes used interchangeably. However, there is nothing inate in the definition of PRESS that need restrict it to a particular set of predictions. As a result, many in the chemometrics community use the term PRESS more generally, applying it to predictions other than just those produced during cross-validation. 

The pharmacophore concept has now been widely accepted and used in the medicinal chemistry community as well as the field of computational molecular modeling. Two closely related definitions of pharmacophore have been employed by both the medicinal chemist and molecular modelers, and the root of this concept can be traced back to more than hundred years ago. 

With all this conditioning principles in mind, the present work tries to describe in a first place the definition and properties of two fundamental symbols Logieal Kronecker Deltas (LKD s) and Nested Sums. The authors hope these symbol forms turn to be as useful to the seientific community as they had been in the development of their quest of a valid computational scheme based on PC machinery, whose main features had been already explained by one of us, see for example reference [3]. 

Considerable effort would be necessary to maintain such a library of emulsion information. Nevertheless, the time and attention already devoted to emulsion experimentation represent an investment from which the science deserves no little dividend. Communication to, through, and from a proposed information center may be the only means of avoiding much expensive and unnecessary duplication of work. It would definitely expedite the interpretation and significance of all accessible emulsion data.
