Complex Situations

This approach, much used by Guggenheim [190], seems elaborate, but in the case of more complex situations than the above, it can be a very powerful one. 

Thus, we have found unexpected complexities and even in this simple system have not yet been unable to accurately extrapolate the results of simulations done over periods varying from 1 to several hundred ps, to the low-friction conditions of extraction experiments performed in times on the oi dc r of ms. The present results indicate that one should not expect agreement between extraction experiments and simulations in more complex situations typically found in experiments, involving also a reverse flow of water molecules to fill the site being evacuated by the ligand, unless the simulation times are prolonged well beyond the scope of current computational resources, and thereby strengthen the conclusion reached in the second theoretical study of extraction of biotin from it.s complex with avidin [19]. 

Gaussian plume models are easy to use and require relatively few input data. Multiple sources are treated by superimposing the calculated contributions of individual sources. It is possible to include the first-order chemical decay of pollutant species within the Gaussian plume framework. For chemically, meteorologically, or geographically complex situations, however, the Gaussian plume model fails to provide an acceptable solution. 

Some more complex situations involving reversible reactions are discussed in Ma.ss Tran.sfer (ibid., pp. 336- 3). 

One of the principal reasons for failure due to reaction with the service environment is the relatively complex nature of the reactions involved. Y"et, in spite of all the complex corrosion jargon, whether a metal corrodes depends on the simple elec trochemical cell set up by the environment. This might give the erroneous impression that it is possible to calculate such things as the corrosion rate of a car fender in the spring mush of salted city streets. Dr. M. Pourbaix has done some excellent work in the application of thermodynamics to corrosion, but this cannot yet be applied direc tly to the average complex situation. 

The reflectivity for this simple case can be extended readily to more complex situations where there are concentration gradients in single films or multilayers comprised of different components. Basically the reflectivity can be calculated from a simple recursion relationship that effectively reduces any gradients in composition to a histogram representing small changes in the concentration as a function of depth. Details on this can be found in the literature cited. ... 

Because of the complex situation on the surface, satisfactory theoretical description of the ionization process leading to secondary ion formation has not yet been possible. Different ionization mechanisms have been proposed ... 

More recently, the application range seems to be extended with increasing demand to even more complex situations, including additional effects such as...

Bearing in mind the importance of the rate determining process and because of the complex situation in corrosion reactions of having two electrode processes, the effect of temperature is best illustrated by reference to specific situations. 

The difficulty of predicting corrosion behaviour in a complex situation, and of determining what changes in conditions are likely during the required life of an item, makes deliberate overdesign a common approach. An alloy or protective system more resistant than is actually required may be used, or thicker sections than needed for mechanical reasons adopted, giving a... 

M. Amon and C. D. Denson [33-34] attempted a theoretical and experimental examination of molding a thin plate from foamed thermoplastic. In the first part of the series [33] the authors examined bubble growth, and in the second [34] — used the obtained data to describe how the thin plate could be molded with reference to the complex situation characterized in our third note. Here, we are primarily interested in the model of bubble growth per se, and, of course, the appropriate simplification proposals [33]. Besides the conditions usual for such situations ideal gets, adherence to Henry s law, negligible mass of gas as compared to mass of liquid, absence of inertia, small Reynolds numbers, incompressibility of liquid, the authors postulated [33] several things that require discussion ... 

The mechanisms of formation of dark resinous materials from these compounds can be studied and subsequently used as models for the understanding of the more complex situations which occur in furan polymers. A brief survey of these topics is given in this chapter. 

More complex situations may also be envisaged and it should always be borne in mind that the tit of experimental data to a simple model provides support for but does not prove that model. The power of the experiment to discriminate between models has to be considered. 

In reality, around an inclusion embedded in a matrix a rather complex situation develops, consisting of areas of imperfect bonding, permanent stresses due to shrinkage, high stress-gradients or even stress-singularities, due to the geometry of the inclusions, voids, microcracks etc. 

Thus, a velocity boundary layer and a thermal boundary layer may develop simultaneously. If the physical properties of the fluid do not change significantly over the temperature range to which the fluid is subjected, the velocity boundary layer will not be affected by die heat transfer process. If physical properties are altered, there will be an interactive effect between the momentum and heat transfer processes, leading to a comparatively complex situation in which numerical methods of solution will be necessary.

Forests in particular must endure the combined stresses imposed by climatic extremes/changes, invasion of insects and diseases, and forest management practices in addition to the added stress of acidic pollutants. All of these stresses modify forest health and productivity. Under this complex situation, it has not been possible to establish the exact role that acidification has had on forest decline nor to develop critical deposition levels at which damages are believed to become important 14), However, the geographical coincidence of forest decline and elevated levels of acidic pollutants offer strong evidence that a linkages exists. 

As class discussions relate textbook topics to the environmental issues, students become aware of the difficulty of applying what they have learned in class to more complex situation. Although frustrate by the absence of simple right answers, students can be taught to appreciate the process by which scientists evaluate data and adjust hypotheses.
