Confusion caused

A boiler house enclosed eight large boilers attended by two men. Failure of the combustion air supply shut down one of the boilers. This boiler shutdown created conditions beyond the control of just two men and lack of proper combustion control equipment finally caused seven of the eight boilers to shut down. Amid the confusion caused by low instrument air... 

The third problem is like the confusion caused in MT by maintaining the concept of the Ether. Most practitioners of QM think about microscopic systems in terms of the principles of QM probability distributions, superposition principle, uncertainty relations, complementarity principle, correspondence principle, wave function collapse. These principles are an approximate summary of what QM really is, and following them without checking whether the Schrddinger equation actually confirms them does lead to error. 

To avoid the confusion caused by the above problems, a three-step process is proposed ... 

The first satisfactory definition of entropy, which is quite recent, is that of Kittel (1989) entropy is the natural logarithm of the quantum states accessible to a system. As we will see, this definition is easily understood in light of Boltzmann s relation between configurational entropy and permutability. The definition is clearly nonoperative (because the number of quantum states accessible to a system cannot be calculated). Nevertheless, the entropy of a phase may be experimentally measured with good precision (with a calorimeter, for instance), and we do not need any operative definition. Kittel s definition has the merit to having put an end to all sorts of nebulous definitions that confused causes with effects. The fundamental P-V-T relation between state functions in a closed system is represented by the exact differential (cf appendix 2)... 

However, confusion caused by contradictory advice by computer experts , an enormous amount of analogous software, almost illegible and incoherent instruction manuals, software that does not react as it should, frequent changes of versions of old familiar products, etc., may convince the chemist that in spite of the promised benefits the obtained results are not worth the effort required to master the PC. Consequently, the whole PC-project ends up on the spare desk in the office, in the expectation of better times or the attentions of an enthusiastic undergraduate. 

There are several pronouns without clear antecedents, which must be clarified. Choice b misplaces the confusion caused by teachers. Choices a and d are unnecessarily wordy, as is choice e. Only choice c expresses the author s intention clearly and concisely. 

Some adverse effects are more marked with single large doses, particularly in vulnerable patients. One study showed an increased frequency of frightening dreams when tricyclic antidepressants were given in a single bedtime dose (10). Elderly patients who take large single doses at bedtime may be at risk of dizziness, ataxia, and confusion caused by postural hypotension when they attempt to get out of bed in the dark (8). 

Most of the above can be resolved by use of the appropriate conversion tables. A common problem arises, however, in the confusion caused where we use the... 

In order to avoid the growing tension and confusion caused by naming rights, the Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), an international body made up of representatives from almost every country in the world, declared that no new names for elements would be officially recognized after lawrencium (103). Instead, they set up a naming system based on a numerical code plus the ending ium. ... 

In actuallity, both factors occur together and it is difficult to separate them. As shown later, this separation is possible by calculations based on the theory introduced here. However, it is not so simple and adds an extra factor to the analysis of the failure mechanism. In order to avoid confusion caused by the combined factors, it is advantageous to cariy out the failure experiment under a simple stress state such as constant stress and so on. 

Lastly, the word fermentation needs to be discussed due to the confusion caused by different definitions of the word. Traditionally, fermentation was defined as the process for the production of alcohol or lactic acid from glucose. A broader definition of fermentation, which has been adopted in this handbook, is an enzymatically controlled transformation of an organic compound. 

The aim of the more popular of the colom scales is to represent colours in a three-dimensional colom space, such that similar visual colom difieiences are represented by approximately similar distances in the colom space. Such colour scales are known as uniform scales. The original CIE scales, represented diagrammatically in Fig. 5.3, were not intended for identifying the colours of objects and are certainly not uniform in spacing colours according to their visual differences. Over the last forty years the Commission Internationale de I Eclairage (CIE) in particular have worked to try to stem the confusion caused by the presence of the many formulae in use and standardise colom space. They managed to combine the opponent chromatic attributes used by Hunter and Schofield, with the MacAdam cube-root simplification of the earlier Judd polynomial. The result was the publication of CIELAB (or ClEL a b ) in 1976 (Smith 1997). At this point, the asterisk snperscript was introduced in order to differentiate the CIELAB parameters from other similar ones still in use. 

Some isomers of the toxin named T514 by Dryer were obtained from semipolar extracts of the Karwinskia parvifolia fruit. In order to avoid the confusion caused by compounds being called by their MW, T514 was renamed peroxisomicine. The name refers to the selective damage that this substance produces on peroxisomes, as will be explained later on. It is well known that these substances may exhibit hindered rotation around the... 

In this adsorption system there is no confusion caused by possible alloying between sodium and nickel, yet adsorption of sodium at room temperature causes such a remarkable structure to form at low coverage that it warrants special attention. In a particular limited range of eover-age between 0.25 and 0.31 monolayer it is found that Na atoms are bound in alternate troughs of the Ni(llO) surface (Fig. 32). The LEED... 

In the above equation the (dummy) summation indices have been changed from i, j,fc (used during the overlap integral evaluation) to i,m,n since the danger of confusion between (e g ) t and is less than the confusion caused by using...
