For adsorbates out of local equilibrium, an analytic approach to the kinetic lattice gas model is a powerful theoretical tool by which, in addition to numerical results, explicit formulas can be obtained to elucidate the underlying physics. This allows one to extract simplified pictures of and approximations to complicated processes, as shown above with precursor-mediated adsorption as an example. This task of theory is increasingly overlooked with the trend to using cheaper computer power for numerical simulations. Unfortunately, many of the simulations of adsorbate kinetics are based on unnecessarily oversimplified assumptions (for example, constant sticking coefficients, constant prefactors etc.) which rarely are spelled out because the physics has been introduced in terms of a set of computational instructions rather than formulating the theory rigorously, e.g., based on a master equation. 

This tutorial assumes that Gaussian 94 is already installed on your computer. Instructions for doing so are included with your program package. 

Just before the computer instructs the printer to eject a bubble of ink, the heater is activated, causing the air pocket to increase in temperature T at quite a rapid rate. The temperature increase causes the air to expand to a greater volume V. This greater volume increases the pressure p within the air pocket. The enhanced air pressure p is sufficient to eject the ink bubble from the pore and onto the page. This pressure-activated ejection is similar to spitting. 

Application A group of computer instructions that is used to accomplish a business function, control a process, or facilitate decision-making. Refer to Application Software in Glossary of Computerized System and Software Development Terminology, August 1995. 

Scattered light collected by the FI.5 lens (f = 30 cm) is relayed to the photomultiplier tube via 1 mm slits, a 1 nm bandwidth interference filter and a polarization filter, to reduce background from flame luminescence. The PDP-11/34 computer instructs the A/D convertor to make a conversion every 100 vsec. The resulting digital data are stored sequentially in core memory. The memory is saturated at 16,000 temperature measurements, at which time the data are transferred to a hard disk memory. The data in this transfer constitute one time... 

In this instrument, the assay programs are "calibrated" by injection of pure reference standards. The relative intensities of the mass lines selected for specific identification of each individual cannabinoid (7), as well as the quantity scale factor and nominal retention time for each compound, are thereby entered into the computer memory. In automatic operation, the computer instructs the spectrometer to search for the characteristic fragment ions only during a time window near the nominal GC retention time for the compound. 

Firmware FDA (1995) The combination of a hardware device, e.g., an Integrated Circuit, and computer instructions and data that reside as read-only software on that device. Such software cannot be modified by the computer during processing. 

AIHS perform reagent additions in proper sequence as dictated by computer instructions, eliminating the possibility of skipping reagents. 

In computer terminology, speed has two chief varieties clock speed and bandwidth. Clock speeds, which give an indication of how fast a processor runs, have units of Hertz (Hz), or cycles per second. In this case, standard prefix meanings are used, so one megaHertz is 10 cycles per second. The simplest computer instructions require one dock cycle to be executed, so a processor with a clock speed of one megaHertz would be able to execute one instruction in one microsecond, and a gigaHertz processor could execute one instruc-... 

The NWW schedule was a busy one for the staff and for the participants. Not only were the days filled with lectures, labs, and computer instruction, but the evenings were often filled as well. To assure that the material presented was available for future reference, an experienced notetaker took notes in all the lectures, and edited, professional copies were distributed to all participants. Moreover, the teachers had photocopying privileges and were encouraged to use this facility to increase their supply of demonstrations, lab procedures, and public domain computer programs. All made good use of the opportunities. 

The schematic shown in Figure 6.9 illustrates the use of this approach. To the left of the sketch is a sequence of computer instructions— the flow of the program is from top to bottom. One of the steps requires that two numbers, X and Y, be added to one another to give the answer Z. To do... 

Fig. 4.3 The DMC meta-modeling architecture with platforms for computation (instruction set), object-orientation, and service-orientation. Each platform is shown as the instance of DMC triplet with corresponding executable item (exec code, object, service provider). The top layer of the architecture shows elements of service-oriented modeling. That complements exertion-oriented programming. The service platform manages the service providers (virtualization of service cloud —V3/V4 that are autonomically provisioned by the SOS on virtualized computation/object platforms (yHV2)...

Mainframe Large, stand-alone computer that completes batch processing (groups of computer instructions completed at once). 

Memory is an essential part of any computation system, ft is used to store both the computation instructions and the data. Logically, memory can be viewed as a collection of sequential locations, each with a unique address as its label and capable of storing information. Accessing memory is accomphshed by supplying the address of the desired data to the device. 

Most synthesis techniques presented in this book have their roots, in one way or another, in metaphorical models seeking inspiration from the acoustic world. The great majority of systems for software s)mthesis actually bias the design of instruments towards this type of inspiration. The binary instruction technique diverges from this approach. It departs from the idiomatic use of low-level computer instructions, with no attempt to model anything acoustic.
