Complexity in the physical and the operational domains is represented by models that capture the three elements of complexity absolute quantity of information, diversity of information, and information content (effort). Figure 4 shows the classification of the various types of complexity in the physical domain (ElMaraghy et al. 2012). [Pg.236]

Despite numerous efforts using various techniques, precise knowledge of olefin content remains an unresolved problem. That is why it is worthwhile to mention two methods commonly employed which provide an answer to the problem. [Pg.83]

Quantum mechanics is cast in a language that is not familiar to most students of chemistry who are examining the subject for the first time. Its mathematical content and how it relates to experimental measurements both require a great deal of effort to master. With these thoughts in mind, the authors have organized this introductory section in a manner that first provides the student with a brief introduction to the two primary constructs of quantum mechanics, operators and wavefunctions that obey a Schrodinger equation, then demonstrates the application of these constructs to several chemically relevant model problems, and finally returns to examine in more detail the conceptual structure of quantum mechanics. [Pg.7]

Under the pressure of progressively more stringent government regulations with regard to permissible levels of residual NH and urea content in wastewaters, the fertilizer industry made an effort to improve wastewater treatment (see also Water, sewage). [Pg.308]

Considerable effort is being made (ca 1993) to develop satisfactory flame retardants for blended fabrics. It has been feasible for a number of years to produce flame-resistant blended fabrics provided that they contain about 65% or more ceUulosic fibers. It appears probable that blends of even greater synthetic fiber content can be effectively made flame resistant. An alternative approach may be to first produce flame-resistant thermoplastic fibers by altering the chemical stmcture of the polymers. These flame-resistant fibers could then be blended with cotton or rayon and the blend treated with an appropriate flame retardant for the ceUulose, thereby producing a flame-resistant fabric. Several noteworthy finishes have been reported since the early 1970s. [Pg.491]

Dilute glycerol Hquors, after purification, are concentrated to cmde glycerol by evaporation. This process is carried out in conventional evaporation (qv) under vacuum heated by low pressure steam. In the case of soap—lye glycerol, means are suppHed for recovery of the salt that forms as the spent lye is concentrated. Multiple effort evaporators are typically used to conserve energy while concentrating to a glycerol content of 85—90%. [Pg.348]

Moisture and Water Content. Resins are thoroughly washed with water upon completion of manufacture and conversion (if necessary) to another ionic form. Excess water is removed by vacuum draining or filtration. Nevertheless, a significant quantity of water associated with the functional groups and adhering to the outer surface of the resin particles remains with the resin as it is discharged into shipping containers. No effort is made to dry the resin, except in a few appHcation areas, since the resins are used in aqueous processes in most installations. [Pg.379]

Precipitator dust often contains concentrated amounts of minor ore components that make it attractive. The potassium, phosphate, and 2inc content have resulted in its use in ferti1i2er, and the sdver and gallium content have been the subject of some recovery efforts (see Recycling). [Pg.353]

The principal reactions are reversible and a mixture of products and reactants is found in the cmde sulfate. High propylene pressure, high sulfuric acid concentration, and low temperature shift the reaction toward diisopropyl sulfate. However, the reaction rate slows as products are formed, and practical reactors operate by using excess sulfuric acid. As the water content in the sulfuric acid feed is increased, more of the hydrolysis reaction (Step 2) occurs in the main reactor. At water concentrations near 20%, diisopropyl sulfate is not found in the reaction mixture. However, efforts to separate the isopropyl alcohol from the sulfuric acid suggest that it may be partially present in an ionic form (56,57). [Pg.107]

As a result of this oversupply, scrap values for many recyclable materials have fallen noticeably over the past few years. Further complicating matters are new efforts from regulators and environmental activists to mandate the reuse of certain materials (rates and dates) and that products be made with specified amounts of recycled material (product content laws). Such demand-side measures distort market forces and do not appear to be justified on either economic or environmental grounds. [Pg.541]

Much effort has been made by catalyst manufacturers to improve catalyst atttition resistance and thus reduce the formation of fines (see Catalysts, supported). In the 10-year petiod from 1980 to 1990, most catalyst manufacturers improved the atttition resistance of their catalyst by a factor of at least 3—4. This improvement was achieved even though the catalyst zeoHte content duting this petiod was continually increasing, a factor that makes achieving catalyst hardness more difficult. As an example of the type of atttition improvement that has been achieved, the catalyst atttition index, which is directiy related to catalyst loss rate in a laboratory attrition test, decreased from 1.0 to 0.35 for one constant catalyst grade during 1989—1990 (37). [Pg.214]

Although a minimum content of 12wt% Cr is required to impart the stainless characteristic to steels, much effort has been appHed to develop new grades of stainless steel having significantly reduced chromium contents without unacceptable degradation of corrosion resistance and other properties. There has been some modest success in this endeavor (34,53—56). [Pg.127]

The pyritic sulfur in coal can undergo reaction with sulfate solutions to release elemental sulfur (see Sulfurremoval and recovery). Processes to reduce the sulfur content of coal have been sought (75). The reaction of coal and sulfuric acid has been used to produce cation exchangers, but it was not very efficient and is no longer employed. Efforts have turned to the use of hot concentrated alkaH in a process called Gravimelt. [Pg.224]

Gloss Enamels. In contrast to exterior and flat wall paint, about half of the gloss paint or enamels sold are based on alkyd resins. Professional painters particularly favor the continued use of alkyd gloss paints. The need for reduction of VOC emission levels, especially in California, has led to efforts to increase the soflds content of alkyd paints or overcome the disadvantages of latex gloss paints. [Pg.352]

Zinc—Nickel. Steel has the best salt spray resistance when the nickel is 12—13% of the alloy. At increasing nickel contents, the deposit becomes more difficult to chromate and more noble, eventually becoming cathodic to steel. At those levels and above, corrosion resistance usually decreases and is dependent on a complete lack of porosity for protection of the steel. In efforts to replace cadmium and nickel—ca dmium diffused coatings in the aircraft industry, 2inc—nickel has insufficient wear properties for some appHcation, but is under study as an undercoat to various electroless nickel top coats (153). [Pg.165]

In combination, the book should serve as a useful reference for both theoreticians and experimentalists in all areas of biophysical and biochemical research. Its content represents progress made over the last decade in the area of computational biochemistry and biophysics. Books by Brooks et al. [24] and McCammon and Harvey [25] are recommended for an overview of earlier developments in the field. Although efforts have been made to include the most recent advances in the field along with the underlying fundamental concepts, it is to be expected that further advances will be made even as this book is being published. To help the reader keep abreast of these advances, we present a list of useful WWW sites in the Appendix. [Pg.5]

There has been extensive recent rethinking of the role of fees and fines as means of influencing industrial decision making with regard to investment in pollution control equipment and pollution-free processes. In their new roles, fees and fines take the form of tax write-offs and credits for polluhon control investment taxes on the sulfur and lead content of fuels continuing fines based on the pollution emission rate and effluent fees on the same basis. Tax write-offs and credits tend to be resisted by treasury officials because they diminish tax income. Air pollution control agencies tend to look with favor on such write-offs and credits because they result in air pollution control with minimal effort on the part of their staffs and with minimal effect on their budget. [Pg.434]
