The plant engineer and his maintenance manager will establish whoever carries out the work, basic strategy, programming and procedures. Inspection checklists and record sheets are necessary for systematic location of critical elements/potential defects and setting out frequencies of inspection. Computers and work processors are an obvious aid to effective maintenance management. Inspection-based preventive methods are demonstrably cost effective. 

The flame temperature calculation is essentially the solution to a chemical equilibrium problem. Reynolds [8] has developed a more versatile approach to the solution. This method uses theory to relate mole fractions of each species to quantities called element potentials ... 

There is one element potential for each independent atom in the system, and these element potentials, plus the number of moles in each phase, are the only variables that must be adjusted for the solution. In large problems there is a much smaller number than the number of species, and hence far fewer variables need to be adjusted. [8]... 

STANJAN The Element Potential Method for Chemical Equilibrium Analysis Implementation in the Interactive Program STANJAN, W.C. Reynolds, Thermosciences Division, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, 1986. A computer program for IBM PC and compatibles for making chemical equilibrium calculations in an interactive environment. The equilibrium calculations use a version of the method of element potentials in which exact equations for the gas-phase mole fractions are derived in terms of Lagrange multipliers associated with the atomic constraints. The Lagrange multipliers (the element potentials ) and the total number of moles are adjusted to meet the constraints and to render the sum of mole fractions unity. If condensed phases are present, their populations also are adjusted to achieve phase equilibrium. However, the condensed-phase species need not be present in the gas-phase, and this enables the method to deal with problems in which the gas-phase mole fraction of a condensed-phase species is extremely low, as with the formation of carbon particulates.

Hereafter, we will assume uniaxial anisotropy, of easy-axis type, given by Eq. (3.4) (if not otherwise indicated), since it is the simplest symmetry that contains the basic elements (potential minima, barriers) responsible for the important role of magnetic anisotropy in superparamagnets. Experimental evidence for uniaxial anisotropy is given in Refs. 15 and 16. 

The results of the discussion on the phenomenological thermodynamics of crystals can be summarized as follows. One can define chemical potentials, /jk, for components k (Eqn. (2.4)), for building units (Eqn. (2.11)), and for structure elements (Eqn, (2.31)). The lattice construction requires the introduction of structural units , which are the vacancies V,. Electroneutrality in a crystal composed of charged SE s requires the introduction of the electrical unit, e. The composition of an n component crystal is fixed by n- 1) independent mole fractions, Nk, of chemical components. (n-1) is also the number of conditions for the definition of the component potentials juk, as seen from Eqn. (2.4). For building units, we have (n — 1) independent composition variables and n-(K- 1) equilibria between sublattices x, so that the number of conditions is n-K-1, as required by the definition of the building element potential uk(Xy For structure elements, the actual number of constraints is larger than the number of constraints required by Eqn. (2.18), which defines nk(x.y This circumstance is responsible for the introduction of the concept of virtual chemical potentials of SE s.

Since the discovery of widespread hydrothermal activity on the seafloor and plumes of altered water in the water column, it has become obvious that circulation of seawater through both high-temperature and low-temperature rocks can add or remove elements, potentially affecting global balances of some elements. For example, dissolved manganese concentrations in open-ocean seawater are as low as 0.2 nanomole per kilogram, but concentrations...

According to the latest estimates of Skinner [18], elements potentially recoverable from seawater are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, chlorine, bromine, boron, and phosphorus because of their practically unlimited presence in the ocean. After improving respective technologies, recovery of the following elements is expected to become profitable as well lithium, rubidium, uranium, vanadium, and molybdenum. Additional profit can be gained since desalinated water will probably be obtained as a by-product. This could be important for countries with a very limited number of freshwater sources (e.g., Israel, Saudi Arabia). 

S-100 protein is not diffuse in MCS. It is limited to the chondroblastic islands of that tumor and is lacking in the small cell component. All elements potentially label for CD57, and most cases are also reactive for NSE. Factor Xnia has been documented in MCS as well, but that marker is non-specific.Tumors of this type arising in the central nervous system are alleged to show cytokeratin and GFAP reactivity in 25% of cases,but we are dubious of that contention based on our experience.

In the process of hazard recognition and control, one must identify the complexities of contributing elements. The hazards must be considered in their use environment. A number of conceptual models help one think of the many elements that contribute to incidents. Individually, people, machines, enviromnents, matmals and other factors may not create hazardous conditions, but when put together in certain situations, they may create a danger or increase the likelihood of an incident. The selection of controls must consider the complex array of elements potentially present.

Some lanthanides, such as gadolinium (48,800 b), europium (4,570 b), or samarium (5,600 b), have neutron absorption cross sections that are higher than boron (760 b) or even (3,800 b), which makes materials containing lanthanide elements potentially attractive neutron absorbers. Additionally, whereas isotopic separation increases the cost of 6 to several 1000/kg, the increased industrial usage of these rare-earth elements has reduced their cost to the 25 to 40/kg range.
