The primary application of lumps is the description of segments. Figure 3-19 shows two typical examples of the creation of lumps by the intersection of two solids. In Figure 3-19a, a cylinder is cut by a prism. When the diameter of the cylinder is larger than the dimension of the base rectangle of the prism, the result is four separated solids. In Figure 3-19b, lumps are created by the intersection of two prisms the body topological entity includes four lumps. 

The parameters of equivalent planar OSD are then obtained by iterative minimization of a specifie dissimilarity eriterion measuring the degree of matching between the parametric descriptions of the observed segmented Bscan image Y° = s" = n = 1,..,jV and... 

The logic that leads us to this last result also limits the applicability of the ensuing derivation. Applying the fraction of total lattice sites vacant to the immediate vicinity of the first segment makes the model descriptive of a relatively concentrated solution. This is somewhat novel in itself, since theories of solutions more commonly assume dilute conditions. More to the point, the model is unrealistic for dilute solutions where the site occupancy within the domain of a dissolved polymer coil is greater than that for the solution as a whole. We shall return to a model more appropriate for dilute solutions below. For now we continue with the case of the more concentrated solution, realizing... 

Consider an approximate description of the nonpenetration condition between the crack faces which can be obtained by putting c = 0 in (3.45). Similar to the case c > 0, we can analyse the equilibrium problem of the plates and prove the solution existence of the optimal control problem of the plates with the same cost functional. We aim at the convergence proof of solutions of the optimal control problem as —> 0. In this subsection we assume that T, is a segment of a straight line parallel to the axis x. 

The most popular theoretical description of the potentiometric behavior of ion-selective membranes makes use of the three-segmented membrane model introduced by Sollner53), Teorell 30,54), and Meyer and Sievers 31-5S). In this model the two phase boundaries and the interior of the membrane are treated separately. Here, the... 

The proposed scenario is mainly based on the molecular approach, which considers conjugated polymer films as an ensemble of short (molecular) segments. The main point in the model is that the nature of the electronic state is molecular, i.e. described by localized wavefunctions and discrete energy levels. In spite of the success of this model, in which disorder plays a fundamental role, the description of the basic intrachain properties remains unsatisfactory. The nature of the lowest excited state in m-LPPP is still elusive. Extrinsic dissociation mechanisms (such as charge transfer at accepting impurities) are not clearly distinguished from intrinsic ones, and the question of intrachain versus interchain charge separation is not yet answered. 

Several methods have been developed for the quantitative description of such systems. The partition function of the polymer is computed with the help of statistical thermodynamics which finally permits the computation of the degree of conversion 0. In the simplest case, it corresponds to the linear Ising model according to which only the nearest segments interact cooperatively149. The second possibility is to start from already known equilibrium relations and thus to compute the relevant degree of conversion 0. 

The specification of the initial state may be partial and lead to incomplete descriptions of various segments of the plant. The modeling facilities of MODEL.LA. contain a complete set of the balance equations, phase and chemical equilibrium, and rate relationships. These relationships are used to propagate the user-supplied specifications and thus complete the description of the initial state throughout the plant. 

A systematic analysis of a process signal over (1) different segments of its time record and (2) various ranges of frequency (or scale) can provide a local (in time) and multiscale hierarchical description of the signal. Such description is needed if an intelligent computer-aided tool is to be con--structed in order to (1) localize in time the step and spike from the equipment faults (Fig. 1), or the onset of change in sensor noise characteristics, and (2) extract the slow drift and the periodic load disturbance.
