Book content is otganized in seven chapters and one Appendix. Chapter 1 is devoted to the fnndamental principles of piezoelectricity and its application including related histoiy of phenomenon discoveiy. A brief description of crystallography and tensor analysis needed for the piezoelectricity forms the content of Chap. 2. Covariant and contravariant formulation of tensor analysis is omitted in the new edition with respect to the old one. Chapter 3 is focused on the definition and basic properties of linear elastic properties of solids. Necessary thermodynamic description of piezoelectricity, definition of coupled field material coefficients and linear constitutive equations are discussed in Chap. 4. Piezoelectricity and its properties, tensor coefficients and their difierent possibilities, ferroelectricity, ferroics and physical models of it are given in Chap. 5. Chapter 6. is substantially enlarged in this new edition and it is focused especially on non-linear phenomena in electroelasticity. Chapter 7. has been also enlarged due to mary new materials and their properties which appeared since the last book edition in 1980. This chapter includes lot of helpful tables with the material data for the most today s applied materials. Finally, Appendix contains material tensor tables for the electromechanical coefficients listed in matrix form for reader s easy use and convenience. 

We refer to Rourke and Sanderson (Up (2) for the definition and basic properties of topological block bundles. 

The work of Brpnsted and Pedersen (23) on the catalytic decomposition of nitramide and the kinetic studies of Lowry and Faulkner (24) on the mutarotation of tetramethylglucose led to the formulation of a more general viewpoint on acids and bases which logically showed that the hydrogen ion and hydroxyl ion were not the unique carriers of acid and basic properties. An acid was defined as any substance capable of donating a proton, and a base any substance capable of accepting a proton. In accordance with this definition (Lowry, 25 Brpnsted, 26), the following substances are typical acids and bases ...

The answer is D. This is also a definition-type question. Amphoteric substances can exhibit both acidic and basic properties depending on the environment that they are subjected to. 

Reliability It is rather difficult to use the accuracy and precision concepts as these capital and basic properties are closely related in qualitative analysis. Their combination has produced a new property called reliability, which is defined as the proportion (percentage) of right yes or no answers provided by individual tests carried out on n aliquots of the same sample to identify an analyte or a family of the analytes. This definition represents the positive side of the errors in qualitative analysis false positives and false negatives. The reliability of the binary response is not an independent property as it strongly depends on the basic properties of sensitivity and selectivity. Moreover, it is in contradiction with productivity-related properties. Reliability is equivalent to certainty and, in quantitative analysis, the uncertainty of a result is a parameter associated with reliability. Indeed, the term is included in the definition of traceability as every experimental datum is affected by specific variations or doubts. As it directly affects the quality of an analytical result, it is necessary to find out an equivalent method to express vmcertainty in qualitative analysis. The term unreliabifity can be... 

The elastic and viscoelastic properties of materials are less familiar in chemistry than many other physical properties hence it is necessary to spend a fair amount of time describing the experiments and the observed response of the polymer. There are a large number of possible modes of deformation that might be considered We shall consider only elongation and shear. For each of these we consider the stress associated with a unit strain and the strain associated with a unit stress the former is called the modulus, the latter the compliance. Experiments can be time independent (equilibrium), time dependent (transient), or periodic (dynamic). Just to define and describe these basic combinations takes us into a fair amount of detail and affords some possibilities for confusion. Pay close attention to the definitions of terms and symbols. 

Bismuth trioxide is practically insoluble in water it is definitely a basic oxide and hence dissolves in acids to form salts. Acidic properties are just barely detectable, eg, its solubiUty slightly increases with increasing base concentration, presumably because of the formation of bismuthate(III) ions, such as Bi(OH) g and related species. 

Most compounds in which carbon is the key element are classified as organic. Common examples of organic compounds include degreasing solvents, lubricants, and heating and motor fuels. This subsection highlights some of the more common characteristics of organics as they relate to hazards. Various relevant classes of organics are presented in terms of chemical behavior and physical properties. In order to facilitate the discussion to follow, a few basic definitions will be presented first. 

While solving the operator equations (2) we establish the basic properties of the operator A such as self-adjointness, positive definiteness, the lower bound of the operator and its norm and more. The operator A constructed in Example 1 will be frequently encountered in the sequel. Before stating the main results, will be sensible to list its basic properties. 

Another basic property of solenoids is their twist. This parameter reflects the fact that successive coils are not stacked exactly above one another but with a small angular offset. Twist may be defined in relation to reference points at corresponding positions in consecutive coils (Fig. 1A). When connected, these points form a helix. The sense of the twist is given by the hand of this helix as it winds around the solenoid axis. Note that the definition of protein solenoid twist (Kobe and Kajava, 2000) differs from the usual definition of the twist in /1-sheets which is defined by the twist of /(-strands... 

Many pharmacologically active organic chemicals fonnd in natnre are alkaloids. In general, these componnds contain one or more nitrogen atoms, which in turn impart some basicity to the molecnle. Well-known alkaloid examples are caffeine, cocaine, codeine, ephedrine, morphine, nicotine, qninine, and scopolamine. Heroin is derived from morphine by a chemical modification that increases lipophilicity, making the heroin molecnle inherently more pharmacologically potent than morphine. The exhibition of its basic properties by an alkaloid (Aik) involves (by definition) the acceptance of a proton H+ according to ... 

The most widely studied physical property of carbanions is their basicity, which of course is a direct measure of the acidity of the parent carbon acid. Carbon acidity measurements date back to the early part of the twentieth century and a myriad of techniques have been employed for the measurements. Although early measurements were only able to provide semiquantitative data, more recent ones have resulted in accurate acidity measurements across a vast range of effective acid dissociation constants, Ka values. This section will begin with a brief description of definitions and methodologies followed by representative data as well as applications of those data.
