D Projections

Each factor is evaluated on the basis of a score of 0—10. A total score of 80 points or higher statistically has resulted in eight or nine successes out of ten instances. Below 80 points, the success-to-failure ratio for new development drops off sharply. Such analyses can be made not only initially but periodically during an R D project and as the business develops.

TEM is conventionally used as a tool to evaluate the size and shape of the cores by direct imaging. However, the core size cannot be determined with atomic resolution from low contrast and 2-D projection of the 3-D core. There are several subjective factors in the estimation of size e.g., how to select the area from which the core size is derived and how to measure this precisely from the vague projections of cores in the TEM micrographs.

The Greek and Dutch governments have a framework of bilateral collaboration in the field of environmental protection. One result of this has been that clean technology has been applied in a full-scale cooperative R D project between the two countries at the Germanakos tannery. The project was carried out with the support of the Commission of the European Communities. 

It can favour large corporations with many R D projects, providing them with greater possibilities of recovering the costs of products that fail to reach the market or do not achieve a large market share. 

The AIST was created by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) in 1948. Its main activities involve planning industrial S T policies and national R D projects, conducting R D in AIST laboratories, promotion of R D in the private sector, promoting international cooperation and developing national standardization policies. By 1995, AIST had accumulated 10888 patents, from which 1666 were foreign patents. 

In the LB technique, the fluid to be simulated consists of a large set of fictitious particles. Essentially, the LB technique boils down to tracking a collection of these fictitious particles residing on a regular lattice. A typical lattice that is commonly used for the effective simulation of the NS equations (Somers, 1993) is a 3-D projection of a 4-D face-centred hypercube. This projected lattice has 18 velocity directions. Every time step, the particles move synchronously along these directions to neighboring lattice sites where they collide. The collisions at the lattice sites have to conserve mass and momentum and obey the so-called collision operator comprising a set of collision rules. The characteristic features of the LB technique are the distribution of particle densities over the various directions, the lattice velocities, and the collision rules. 

We thank Dr. M. Hirano at Toray Research Center, Kamakura for providing us with the purified PS II. We also thank Dr. H. Minamikawa for the synthesis of Maln(Phyt)2 and Dr. K. Kawasaki for the FFEM experiments. This work was performed as a part of a R D project of AIST (subject Physical properties of membrane protein/lipid assemblies) and of International Joint Research Program FY 2001-2002 supported by NEDO. 

The book has been written as an introductory text, not as an exhaustive review. It is meant for students at the start of their Ph.D. projects and for anyone else who needs a concise introduction to catalyst characterization. Each chapter describes the physical background and principles of a technique, a few recent applications to illustrate the type of information that can be obtained, and an evaluation of possibilities and limitations. A chapter on case studies highlights a few important catalyst systems and illustrates how powerful combinations of techniques are. The appendix on the surface theory of metals and on chemical bonding at surfaces is included to provide better insight in the results of photoemission, vibrational spectroscopy and thermal desorption. 

In addition, she is Scientific Consulting of the Pharmaceutical Company (Laboratories Farmaceuticos Rovi S.A.) and involving in common research R D projects.
