Container round-square

Clemenger [42] has studied the effect of ellipsoidal deformations in alkali clusters with N less than 100, using a modified three-dimensional harmonic oscillator model. The model considers different oscillator frequencies along the z axis (taken as symmetry axis) and perpendicular to the z axis. The model Hamiltonian used by Clemenger also contains an anharmonic term. Its purpose is to flatten the bottom of the potential well and to make it to resemble a rounded square-well potential. 

Many types of filter are supplied for this sort of operation. In chlor-alkali brine treatment, the two most frequently encountered are the pressure leaf filter and the candle filter. Both types are capable of removing submicron particles and producing a filtrate with less than 1 ppm of suspended solids. A leaf filter, as the name implies, contains a number of thin, flat elements that are active on both sides. In chlor-alkali brine plants, the leaves normally are suspended vertically in a tank. The tank may be horizontal, in which case the leaves are circles or rounded squares, or vertical, in which case the leaves are approximately rectangular and of different widths. 

For consumer items, such as food storage containers and sport/exercise water bottles, which take many shapes and can be round, square, flat, or tall, injection molding seems to predominate. In items like stadium cups and hotel and bathroom cups, both the injection molding and thermoforming techniques are well represented. 

A 10-m-diameter round tank sits on the ground within a 20-m-square diked area. The tank contains a hazardous material dissolved in mostly water. The tank is vented to the atmosphere. 

Let us dwell on Figure 6.4 for a moment. The standards and sample solutions are introduced to the instrument in a variety of ways. In the case of a pH meter and other electroanalytical instruments, the tips of one or two probes are immersed in the solution. In the case of an automatic digital Abbe refractometer (Chapter 15), a small quantity of the solution is placed on a prism at the bottom of a sample well inside the instrument. In an ordinary spectrophotometer (Chapters 7 and 8), the solution is held in a round (like a test tube) or square container called a cuvette, which fits in a holder inside the instrument. In an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Chapter 9), or in instruments utilizing an autosampler, the solution is sucked or aspirated into the instrument from an external container. In a chromatograph (Chapters 12 and 13), the solution is injected into the instrument with the use of a small-volume syringe. Once inside, or otherwise in contact with the instrument, the instrument is designed to act on the solution. We now address the processes that occur inside the instrument in order to produce the electrical signal that is seen at the readout. 

When the bung is inserted in the bottle containing 70 ml of liquid, the constricted end of the tube is kept above the surface of the liquid, and the hole in the side is below the bottom of the bung. The upper end of the tube is cut off square, and is either slightly rounded or ground smooth. 

After solidification, the ingots are shaped using diamond-coated band saws or wires in an abrasive medium in order to have square multicrystalline or pseudosquare rounded angle monocrystalline blocks. This process removes the outer parts of the ingots, generally out of specification for dimensions and with some contamination from the containers or the furnaces. 

An alternative form of non-carbonated beverage comes in form-fill-seal plastic containers, which are typically square or round section cups with foil or plastic laminate lidding. Such products are difficult to produce to a quality that will satisfactorily compete with the shelf fife of aseptic foil/laminate packs. Fonn-fill-seal containers leave their contents vulnerable to oxidative degradation and are especially at risk of mould spoilage. The packs can be produced in aseptic conditions but the products are typically chemically preserved. 

Some representative examples are given of plant sources of the cited compounds (further plant sources can be readily accessed via the Web). ICjo (concentration for 50% inhibition) values are given in round brackets. Ka (dissociation constant) or K (enzyme-inhibitor dissociation constant) values are given in square brackets. For convenience compounds are grouped into alkaloids (also encompassing N-containing aromatic pseudoalkaloids), phenolics, terpenes and other compounds and are listed alphabetically within these four groupings. 

The operating conditions were arrived at empirically by adjusting temperature, wind speed and illumination on a diurnal cycle until conditions were found which generated the same residual pheromone curve from a standard formulation in the tunnel as that formulation experienced in the field. For this standardization, one-eighth inch square Hereon flakes containing an average 13.3% TDAL by weight were used. This, as well as all other formulations, were tested, as nearly as possible, in the same form which they would have upon aerial application. They were either coated or mixed with a recommended sticker and measured aliquots were applied to rounds of filter paper. These were then mounted on racks in the test section of the tunnel. 

Furthermore it is the rate of kink motion that controls the process. In Fig. 5 the steps around a pit are square at a certain concentration of Fe+, so they are composed almost entirely of stqps lying in < 001 > directions. When the concentration of Fe is increased the corners of the pits become rounded and the overall rate of motion of the steps is reduced. Since the rounded steps do not lie parallel to a low index direction in the surface, they necessarily contain high concentrations of kinks. The rate of kink nucleation is therefore not limiting the motion of the steps rather it is the rate of kink motion that does so.

One significant vibratory effect is associated with abrasion or rub, particularly where printed or decorated surfaces are involved. This effect is likely to be more severe on round containers which will revolve (clockwise and anti-clockwise), and move side to side and up and down in either a carton or a divisioned outer. Rectangular or square containers under the same circumstances will usually show less movement. Thus unless the label is recessed, superior rub resistance is usually required for a label on a cylindrical pack. 

Note that the way a printed or decorated component moves, vibrates, rubs, etc. will relate both to the shape of the article and to the type and configuration of the packaging materials which surround it. For example, a cylindrical bottle in a carton or a divisioned outer will move from side to side, up and down and rotate in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. A rectangular, square or oblong container is unlikely to rotate. Since the rotational movement with the round container is likely to be predominant and more damaging to the surface decoration, this may require a higher level of rub resistance. 

This example, with its impracticality, contains the seed for the best solution to the problem. We somehow want to put all the frequencies into the amplifier at once and detect all the frequencies which come out. We state here without proof that a short square pulse contains a continuous distribution of frequencies up to frequencies of the order of the reciprocal of the pulse length in order to shape the sharp corners of the pulse. Thus, for such a pulse, the amplifier sees many frequencies coming into it and will amplify them according to its characteristics. For example, if the amplifier does not respond to the high frequencies needed to shape the sharp corners, the corners will be rounded off in the pulse coming out of the amplifier. If some method were available to decompose the output pulse into its frequency components so they can be plotted out as a spectrum and this is compared with the spectrum of the input pulse, we will have accomplished our goal. The Fourier transform performs the desired decomposition.
