The reader is advised to start with this book and to then delve further into the computational literature pertaining to his or her specific work. It is impossible to reference all relevant works in a book such as this. The bibliography included at the end of each chapter primarily lists textbooks and review articles. These are some of the best sources from which to begin a serious search of the literature. It is always advisable to run several tests to determine which techniques work best for a given project. 

This book was designed to aid in research, rather than as a primary text on the subject. However, students may find some sections helpful. Advanced undergraduate students and graduate students will find the basic topics and applications useful. Beginners are advised to first become familiar with the use of computational chemistry software before delving into the advanced topics section. It may even be best to come back to this book when problems arise during computations. Some of the information in the advanced topics section is not expected to be needed until postgraduate work. 

Classical and Quantum Mechanics. At the beginning of the twentieth century, a revolution was brewing in the world of physics. For hundreds of years, the Newtonian laws of mechanics had satisfactorily provided explanations and supported experimental observations in the physical sciences. However, the experimentaUsts of the nineteenth century had begun delving into the world of matter at an atomic level. This led to unsatisfactory explanations of the observed patterns of behavior of electricity, light, and matter, and it was these inconsistencies which led Bohr, Compton, deBroghe, Einstein, Planck, and Schrn dinger to seek a new order, another level of theory, ie, quantum theory. 

There will be comparatively little interest in the imderlying causes of errors leading to accidents. This is because the TSE view assigns virtually all errors to unsafe acts that are preventable by the individual workers concerned. There is therefore little incentive to delve into other causes. 

Although it is not the intent of this chapter to delve into pipe stress and vibration analysis, a few alerting comments appear to he in order. From this, the design engineer should he ahle to seek the proper qualified technical help to analyze the stresses associated with the piping layout. 

Amongst other devices used to produce the required atoms in the vapour state are the Delves cup which enables the determination of lead in blood samples the sample is placed in a small nickel cup which is inserted directly into an acetylene-air flame. The tantalum boat is a similar device to the Delves cup in this case the sample is placed into a small tantalum dish which is then inserted into an acetylene-air flame. The use of these devices, especially for small sample volumes, has now been largely superseded by the graphite furnace.

Invariance Properties.—Before delving into the mathematical formulation of the invariance properties of quantum electrodynamics, let us briefly state what is meant by an invariance principle in general. As we shall be primarily concerned with the formulation of invariance principles in the Heisenberg picture, it is useful to introduce the concept of the complete description of a physical system. By this is meant at the classical level a specification of the trajectories of all particles together with a full description of all fields at all points of space for all time. The equations of motion then allow one to determine whether the system could, in fact, have evolved in the way... 

Concluding Remarks.—We have come to the end of our exposition of some aspects of quantum electrodynamics. We have not delved in some of the more technical and difficult facets of the subject matter. Mention should, however, be made of what some of the difficulties are. Foremost at the technical level is perhaps the role played by the infrared divergences. The fact that the photon has zero mass not only gives rise to divergences in various matrix elements,20 but also implies... 

These two books delve much more deeply, and at a much more mathematical level, into this subject. 

Before exploring the individual stages of a needs analysis, we would like clarify that not all companies conduct such research in order to establish their mentoring needs. Some of them will simply determine their needs organically, i.e. by observation and consultation with top management. Even if organizations do carry out a needs analysis, there will be variations in the extent to which this is done. The following factors will typically direct your decision as to how deeply you wish to delve into this activity ... 

In the solid, electrons reside in the valence band but can be excited into the conduction band by absorption of energy. The energy gap of various solids depends upon the nature of the atoms comprising the solid. Semiconductors have a rather narrow energy gap (forbidden zone) whereas that of insulators is wide (metals have little or no gap). Note that energy levels of the atoms "A" are shown in the valence band. These will vary depending upon the nature atoms present. We will not delve further into this aspect here since it is the subject of more advanced studies of electronic and optical materieds. 

The result is that Factor III of 2.2.6. given above imposes further symmetry restrictions on the 32 point groups and we obtain a total of 231 space groups. We do not intend to delve further into this aspect of lattice contributions to crystal structure of solids, and the factors which cause them to vary in form. It is sufficient to know that they exist. Having covered the essential parts of lattice structure, we will elucidate how one goes about determining the structure for a given solid. 

Note also that we have just introduced the concepts of nuclei and nucleation in our study of solid state reaction processes. Our next step will be to examine some of the mathematics used to define rate processes in solid state reactions. We will not delve into the precise equations here but present them in Appendices at the end of this chapter. But first, we need to examine reaction rate equations as adapted for the solid state. 

It should be clear that a number of mechanisms exist. Which of these dominates wiU, as we stated before, will depend upon the nature of both A and B . However, it has been observed throughout many investigations that one mechanism seems to dominate. We will not delve through these works. 

We have delved into the methods used by previous investigators in an effort to quanticize color measurement and used the same methods that they did. Once this was done, color specifications became standardized and were not subject to vagaries of the color-method used or the deviations caused by the human eye. 

The process for actually measuring emissive color is somewhat different and more challenging. First, we must obtain an emission spectrum by means of a spectrofluorimeter. We cam now integrate I d> to obtain the energy and then specify this in terms of x and y. There are special methods which have been developed to do so wherein seleeted wavelengths are used, depending upon the nature of the emission spectrum. We will not delve further into this method other than to state that it does exist. 

Much of the early work with certified reference materials was linked to the derivation of reference methods and there was a period in which primary or definitive (i.e. very accurate but usually very complex) and secondary (or usable) methods were reported e.g. steroid hormones (Siekmann 1979), creatinine (Siekmann 1985), urea (Welch et al. 1984) and nickel (Brown et al. 1981). Although there are some application areas, such as checking the concentrations of preparations listed in a pharmacopoeia, where a prescribed, defined method has to be used, in practice such work is limited. However, this approach to chemical analysis is no longer widely used and will not be further discussed. The emphasis now is placed on using RMs to demonstrate that a method in use meets analytical criteria or targets deemed to be appropriate for the application and to develop figures of merit (Delves 1984).
