Limiting distributions

At higher flow rates the dispersion of the tracer and the lower limit for time resolution of the concentration versus time distribution limits the accuracy to better than dt2%. 

Radical polymerization is often the preferred mechanism for forming polymers and most commercial polymer materials involve radical chemistry at some stage of their production cycle. From both economic and practical viewpoints, the advantages of radical over other forms of polymerization arc many (Chapter 1). However, one of the often-cited "problems" with radical polymerization is a perceived lack of control over the process the inability to precisely control molecular weight and distribution, limited capacity to make complex architectures and the range of undefined defect structures and other forms of "structure irregularity" that may be present in polymers prepared by this mechanism. Much research has been directed at providing answers for problems of this nature. In this, and in the subsequent chapter, we detail the current status of the efforts to redress these issues. In this chapter, wc focus on how to achieve control by appropriate selection of the reaction conditions in conventional radical polymerization. 

Smoluchowski s equation, like the fragmentation equation, can be written in terms of the scaling distribution. Furthermore, general forms may be determined for the tails of the scaling distribution—limits of small mass, xls(t) < 1, and large mass, x/s(t) > 1. The details can be found in van Dongen and Ernst (1988).

The information available on UV-susceptibility of different developmental stages in kelps indicate the unicellular zoospores as being most sensitive (Wiencke et al. 2000, 2004). However, zoospore UV-sensitivity varies species-specifically as a function of depth distribution of the sporophyte, i.e. kelps from shallow water are more tolerant than plants from deeper vertical positions. Consequently, any increase in UVB-induced spore mortality will result in impaired reproductive success and finally reduce fitness of the population. In addition, elevated UVB will penetrate deeper into the water column, which may result in a shift of the upper distribution limit of seaweed communities to deeper waters (Wiencke et al. 2006).

Highly exothermic chemical reactions can give ions as products. Such reactions are called chemi-ionization reactions. When one or more of the reactants are formed by pulsed photolysis, and the ion product(s) are time-resolved with a mass spectrometer, this comprises a FPTRMS experiment. The ions can be extracted by a biased pair of electrodes, one of which has an aperture through which ions pass to enter a quadrupole mass spectrometer. The time resolution of this experiment is superior to FPTRMS experiments between neutrals, since the ion velocities are set by the electrode bias voltage, and the thermal molecular velocity distribution limitation is no longer a factor. With modest electrode bias voltages, the detection time can be as short as 2 /is. 

Although our analyses are still in progress, two possible explanations for the isotopic data seem likely at this point. The first is that the majority, if not all, of these beads were in foct produced from shells collected in southern California. If true, this would imply that F2/F3 and M1/M2 beads, which have a geographical distribution limited to central and northern California, were either produced by southern California bead makers exclusively for northern...

A single coin is an example of a Bernoulli" distribution. This probability distribution limits values of the random variable to exactly two discrete values, one with probability p, and the other with the probability (1-p). For the coin, the two values are heads p, and tails (1-p), where p = 0.5 for a fair coin. 

Random noise on the correlation function broadens the calculated distribution, limiting resolution.
