Concept defined

Particularly useful is the physical classification of surfactants based on the hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) system [67,68] established by Griffin [69,70]. More than 50 years ago he introduced an empirical scale of HLB values for a variety of nonionic surfactants. Griffin s original concept defined HLB as the percentage (by weight) of the hydrophile divided by 5 to yield more manageable values ...

Comment After you have solved the problem, you should find that ACr° is much smaller for isotopic exchange reactions than for "normal" chemical reactions. Sometimes AC/ for a reaction is called the driving force for the reaction, and the reaction rate is assumed to be proportional to AC/. Because isotopic reactions are not any slower than chemical reactions, you can see that the driving force concept defined this way is not very helpful.)... 

In order to clarify the general concepts defined in the above sections, the following sections will describe an experimental study which followed those principles in order to achieve specified informational goals. 

Let us consider the etching of a surface S of material M with F atoms and the volatile product to be MF. With the concepts defined above one can write the following set of reactions. 

For the specific case of a naphtha of specific gravity = 0.713 and an atmospheric gas oil with specific gravity di s 0.841, a Linde study compares the performance obtained in the same fiimace with these two feedstocks, at different treatment severities, a concept defined in this case by the weight ratio of the propylene to ethylene produced (Fig. ZIO). 

The three-dimensional solubility parameler concept defines the limits of compatibility as a sphere. Values of these parameters for some of the solvents listed earlier in Table 12-3 are given in Table 12-4. More complete lists are available in handbooks and technological encyclopedias. The recommended procedure in conducting a solubility parameter study is to try to dissolve the polymeric solute in a limited number of solvents that are chosen to encompass the range of subsolubility parameters. A three-dimensional plot of solubility then reveals a solubility volume for the particular polymer in 5d, 5p, space. 

A linked grouping of neighbouring atoms (a concept defined more fully in the following Section) as well as individual atoms are bounded by a zero-flux surface. Such a surface may be used to define a Wigner—Seitz cell in a solid, a solute in a solution, or a molecule in a molecular crystal. The zero-flux surface, eqn (2.9), is the natural boundary condition for a system defined in real space and such a surface can always be used to define the physically... 

It is emphasized that the concept defined by equation (7) introduces for the first time a dynamically curved projectile trajectory in the impact-parameter method. Thus the projectile motion is coupled to the motion of the active electron. However, since the projectile interacts with a mean electronic field, there is only approximate conservation of energy and momentum. For small projectile scattering angles this deficiency can be circumvented. In this case conservation of energy and momentum may be forced by applying the Eikonal transformation [34]. 

Process energy and solvent recovery energy are indicators focusing mainly on the level of chemical reaction, while primary energy usage is more industry oriented. The latter may be calculated with respect to the economic value of the product, in line with the Eco-efficiency concept, defined as a ratio of economic and environmental performance. 

CWRT metrics have been developed on the basis of the eco-efficiency concept, defined as a ratio of product (or service) value to its environmental influence, where value is understood to be capital creation, and the main environmental influences are due to consumed energy, materials and water, and released green house and ozone depleting gases. Important aspects of the CWRT metrics are (i) normalization to dollar sales or value added, (ii) consideration for relative environmental impacts of different pollutants and (hi) use of national databases. 

The Screw Elements themselves are split up into two different kinds, the Kneading Blocks and the Conveying Elements. Many different types of these elements can exist, each with different default attribute values (e.g.. Length or Diameter as shown in Fig. 4.7). It was decided to use a Screw Element Type concept, and two specializations, as part of the descriptive area. Instances of these concepts define the possible screw element... 

In terms of the Bronsted-Lowry concept, define an acid, a base and neutralization. 

Relationship of several concepts defining the degree of vacuum [225]. 

The concept of pH often appears to be an abstract, theoretical concept, defined mathematically as log subscript ten of the concentration of hydroxonium ions in an electrically conductive solution, such as must or wine ... 

The GLP principles are a managerial concept defining the organizational processes and conditions under which laboratory and field research is planned, performed, monitored, recorded, and reported. They were designed to ensure that sampling and analytical procedures and results are complete and of known, documented quality. When a study is GLP compliant, an auditor, regulator, or analyst should be able to review the smdy some years after its completion and easily determine what work was done, when, where, by whom, and with what equipment and methods who supervised the study what results were obtained and whether there were any problems encountered and, if so, how they were handled. Considerable effort and dedication in planning, support, and implementation is required to achieve this standard of documentation and attention to detail. Successful implementation of GLP provides reliable data for which the precision, accuracy, comparability, and completeness is known. 

The answer obviously explains nothing and like the rest of the survey leaves us to evaluate an amorphous concept defined by unanswered questions. We may try to examine the way in which some of the obvious questions are dealt with in the cosmological literature ... 

Another concept defined by Zadeh is that of a fuzzy restriction. If a proposition is M is Q, when u is the name of an object or idea and Q is a label of a fuzzy set C S then this is expressed by... 

The method has not been used as a complete, freestanding methodological unit in Czech HRA studies. Of course, the basic new concepts defined and promoted by the method have been retrained into the hybrid methodology developed and used in NRI Rez in the field of HRA currently. 

Casey Hooke, advanced practice nurse and creator of the Safety Action Team (SAT) concept, defines SATs as department- or unit-based interdisciplinary work groups that provide a "think tank" for staff to identify safety concerns, process them, and brainstorm new ways to address them (Hooke, 2002). Group membership varies according to individual needs, but SATs strive to include members who represent the continuum of care for the patients they serve. SATs include registered nurses, physicians, pharmacists, respiratory care practitioners, child-life specialists, unit service coordinators, and members of the management team. The group is chaired by a staff leader, or sometimes by two staff leaders who share the responsibility. 

Obviously the author of Le Rouge et le Noir wouldn t have imagined that the crystallization concept defined by him, will be extended to describe things like polymers. Moreover, in terms of crystallization, the morphology of polymers is even much more complicated—although I am sure artists or writers would dislike this. But here, while writing this, I feel on a safe territory, far from people of art, so I can dare to make such an assertion. 

It is clear that this concept defines critical needs regarding materials and methods. Mostly synthetic polymers were at the core, however, biological polymers and small organic molecules were also considered. The disadvantage of polymers often lies in their pronounced conformational flexibility demanding a high entropy prize upon supramolecular stmcture formation. Shape-persistent macromolecules have helped to overcome this drawback and have therefore defined one focus of the SFB.
