Connectivity, determination

Transport of stable isotopes in a moving fluid phase is called advection. Here infiltrating fluids move the isotopic species of interest. Fluid flow is restricted to connected pore spaces. The amount of connected pore space and the manner of connection determines the permeability of a rock. Mixing of stable isotope ratios by a flowing fluid on grain boundary intersections, micro crack intersections, and fracture intersections results in dispersion. Dispersion is similar to diffusion (at least mathematically), since this is a mixing process. 

Model topology, that is, the interconnections between various components in the model as a whole, and the kinetic parameters associated with each connection determine the dynamies of the model. Interactions between components in the model can be either stimulatory or inhibitory. Series of interactions arranged in the form of loops can function as either positive or negative feedback. These feedback loops, depending on the parameter values, can display nonlinear dynamic behaviors such as oscillation and bistability (Bhalla etal., 2002 Hoffmann etal., 2002). These various features ean in turn modulate the response of the system to input signals, making complex dose responses such as switchlike or nonmonotonic ones possible. 

In its substance it shows how much energy of the component i under the solution conditions differs from the energy of its formation imder standard conditions. The concept of thermodynamic concentration was introduced by Gilbert Newton Lewis (1875-1946) in 1907 for diluted gas solutions and later expanded for other solutions. In this connection, determination of the activity values depends on the nature and state of the component. In this respect gas, non-polar hydrophobic and polar hydrophilic components should be distinguished. 

The scheme outlined above (Sjpvoll et al. 1997) has been implemented in the program LUCIA. The program also exploits both double-group symmetry and time-reversal symmetry. The main computational costs over a nonrelativistic Cl arise from the presence of vector operators, from the need to use complex arithmetic, and from the extended interaction space due to the fact that the spin-orbit operators connect determinants of different spin multiplicity. 

Multiphase materials inich as polymeTcombine properties of component phases and have useful parameters that cannot be obtained in homogeneous materials. Not only are the properties of separate phases included in a composite, but also the means of their connectivity determines these properties, since they determine charge transport, charge storage, and the distribution of eleciric field and mechanical stress 14.130-132).

The concept of semicrystallinity is important because polyethylene can be considered to be a composite of ciystalline and nonciystalline regions. Polyethylene that consisted solely of ciystalline matrices would be a fiiable material, and a totally amorphous sample would be a highly viscous fluid. In practice, of course, polyethylene is a tough, resilient material. The arrangement of the three phases with respect to each other, their relative proportions, and their degree of connectivity determine the properties of a polyethylene sample. Neither pure ciystalline nor pure amorphous polyethylene samples are available, so the properties of each phase must be extrapolated from those of partially crystalline samples.
