External stress, locally applied, can have nonlocal static effects in ferroelastics (see Fig. 4 of Ref. [7]). Dynamical evolution of strains under local external stress can show striking time-dependent patterns such as elastic photocopying of the applied deformations, in an expanding texture (see Fig.5 of Ref. [8]). Since charges and spins can couple linearly to strain, they are like internal (unit-cell) local stresses, and one might expect extended strain response in all (compatibility-linked) strain-tensor components. Quadratic coupling is like a local transition temperature. The model we consider is a (scalar) free energy density term... 

In Eq. (141), it is assumed that the diffusing particle and the surrounding medium have been put in contact in an infinitely remote past, as pictured by the lower integration bound —oo in the retarded friction term. Both F(t) and v(t) can be viewed as stationary random processes. Their spectral densities are linked by... 

QTAIM provides a definitive answer to the question of whether two atoms are bonded or not even in ambiguous cases [87, 88] and, as a consequence, the molecular graph, i.e., the chemical structure, is readily defined by this theory. Two atoms are bonded if their nuclei are linked in space by a line of maximal electron density termed the bond path [89, 90] (see Fig. 1). A single bond path links the nuclei of chemically bonded atoms irrespective of the mode of the bonding covalent (single or multiple), hydrogen, van der Waals, ionic, metallic, etc. The properties of the eleetron density determined at the point of lowest density along the bond path, where... 

The Maxwell s equations link the four macroscopic Helds D, E, H and B with the external charge density pe and the external current density Jg. The term (9/9t)D is called displacement current and it is added to the external current density term in Eq. (1.4) to satisfy the charge conservation, i.e. the continuity equation ... 

During the vulcanization, the volatile species formed are by-products of the peroxide. Typical cure cycles are 3—8 min at 115—170°C, depending on the choice of peroxide. With most fluorosihcones (as well as other fluoroelastomers), a postcure of 4—24 h at 150—200°C is recommended to maximize long-term aging properties. This post-cure completes reactions of the side groups and results in an increased tensile strength, a higher cross-link density, and much lower compression set. 

Long-term compression set resistance is described in Figure 4. Lower set values are achievable by use of higher viscosity gumstock at comparable cross-link densities. Compression set resistance is also very dependent on the cure system chosen. The bisphenol cure system offers the best compression set resistance available today, as shown in Table 5. 

The cross-link density obtained in this manner (p() is referenced to the swollen polymer volume at the time of compression. For comparison to theory or to similar polymers swollen to different extents, the cross-link density can be redefined in terms of moles of chains per unit volume of dry polymer (p,). This conversion is simply... 

The multimedia model present in the 2 FUN tool was developed based on an extensive comparison and evaluation of some of the previously discussed multimedia models, such as CalTOX, Simplebox, XtraFOOD, etc. The multimedia model comprises several environmental modules, i.e. air, fresh water, soil/ground water, several crops and animal (cow and milk). It is used to simulate chemical distribution in the environmental modules, taking into account the manifold links between them. The PBPK models were developed to simulate the body burden of toxic chemicals throughout the entire human lifespan, integrating the evolution of the physiology and anatomy from childhood to advanced age. That model is based on a detailed description of the body anatomy and includes a substantial number of tissue compartments to enable detailed analysis of toxicokinetics for diverse chemicals that induce multiple effects in different target tissues. The key input parameters used in both models were given in the form of probability density function (PDF) to allow for the exhaustive probabilistic analysis and sensitivity analysis in terms of simulation outcomes [71]. 

The degree of cross-linking can be expressed in terms of cross-links per gram or per unit volume. If C is the moles of cross-links per unit volume, n the number of network chains per unit volume, d the density of cross-linked polymer, and Me the number-average molecular weight of the polymer segments between cross-links, then... 

If we are interested only in properties that can be expressed in terms of q-electron operators, then it is sufficient to work with the th-order reduced-density matrix rather than the A -electron wavefunction [122-126]. In this section, we consider links between the r- and p-space representations of reduced-density matrices. In particular, we show that if we need the th-order density matrix in p space, then it can be obtained from its counterpart in r space without reference to the /-electron wavefunction in p space. 

The indices k in the Ihs above denote a pair of basis operators, coupled by the element Rk. - The indices n and /i denote individual interactions (dipole-dipole, anisotropic shielding etc) the double sum over /x and /x indicates the possible occurrence of interference terms between different interactions [9]. The spectral density functions are in turn related to the time-correlation functions (TCFs), the fundamental quantities in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. The time-correlation functions depend on the strength of the interactions involved and on their modulation by stochastic processes. The TCFs provide the fundamental link between the spin relaxation and molecular dynamics in condensed matter. In many common cases, the TCFs and the spectral density functions can, to a good approximation, be... 

The electron density is a continuous function that is experimentally observable, hence uniquely defined, at all points in space. Its topology can be described in terms of the distribution of its critical points, i.e. the points at which the electron density has a zero gradient in all directions. There are four kinds of critical point which include maxima (A) usually found near the centres of atoms, and minima (D) found in the cavities or cages that lie between the atoms. In addition there are two types of saddle point. The first (B) represents a saddle point that is a maximum in two directions and a minimum in the third, the second (C) represents a saddle point that is a minimum in two direction and a maximum in the third. One can draw lines of steepest descent connecting the maxima (A) to the minima (D), lines whose direction indicates the direction in which the electron density falls off most rapidly. Of the infinite number of lines of steepest descent that can be drawn there exists a unique set that has the property that, in passing from the maximum to the minimum, each line passes successively through a B and a C critical point. This set forms a network whose nodes are the critical points and whose links are the lines of steepest descent connecting them.
