Conventional usage

Magda Staudinger-Woit did not live to see this letter, as it was published shortly before her death in April 1997 at the age of 94. Whereas her claim appealed to an historical justification, the committee gave priority to the present-day conventional usage in the scientific community. After all, the Commission provided a definition that a polymer was a substance composed of macromolecules, a pragmatic solution which, however, blanks the history of strife surrounding the two words.

Since conventional usage has been to avoid identification of moles with species, this is written simply as litcrs/mole-sec. Such abbreviation can, however, lead to occasional confusion, and the nature of the abbreviation should be borne in mind. 

The airline industry imposes a conventional usage here a flight can be "direct" without being "nonstop."... 

It is clear from above that beside the conventional usage of SIMS for elemental depth profiling in semiconductors, it has a potential of becoming a powerful tool to spatially map two cind/or three dimensional distribution of inpurity elements. However, spatial resolution at present is rather limited (>1y m) especially if the technique has to be extended to sub micron geonetries. Transmission Electron Microscopy... 

These fibers also contribute significantly to the world economy not only through their accepted conventional usage in various sectors but also in new applications such as reinforcements in polymer/ceramic matrices. It is reported by many researchers [6-13] in the area of natural fiber-polymer composites that the possible substitutions of automotive parts is of particular interest. In fact, these composites favor the recycling of parts in addition to their low density and the consumption... 

The proper selection and application of elastomers are difficult for design engineers in many instances because engineering terms in conventional usage have different meanings when applied to rubber properties. Elastomers are organic materials and react in a completely different manner from metals. For this reason some of the more common definitions are presented in the following section. 

Some of these symbols represent their conventional usages. R is the bounding radius in the stress field. The surface energy term, 2ysC, is added to obtain the total energy of the system. Differentiating Eq. (8.46), the critical length, Cmi.,. may be found ... 

In line with conventional usage and the above definition, the body of work, as an object, will be called the project, and the manifestation of the purpose of the project will be called the product. We will not be confused by the fact that a project is often named by its product, such as e.g. the Big River Bridge project . Furthermore, we recognise that product must be taken in its widest sense and is not restricted to a physical product, as in a substance, a component, or a piece of equipment. For example, the project might be the design of an organisation, and... 

In SI units the factor (fl2 amounts to 1/753. It is important to note here that the special form of the nonlinear polarization [see Eq. (11.3)], as well as the associated nonlinear coefficient 2(f) or W2( ), is appropriate for describing only a specific class of nonlinear optical phenomena. In the next section we will describe other more general forms of nonlinear polarization. For the present, however, we will continue with this form of polarization in discussing some conventional usage and systems of units.
