External coordinates domain

We deal directly with the general case. Consider an open system defined by the domain of external coordinates, with boundary consisting of an inlet domain which admits the particle-fluid mixture into the system, and an outlet domain through which the mixture exits the system. We... 

In this example we consider a cell population in a batch stirred reactor where the cells are distributed according to their age, denoted t, ranging between 0 and 00. The main purpose of this example is to demonstrate the boundary condition that arises. Each cell beyond a certain age has a constant rate of division, say, k. The division of the cell of age t results in the loss of that cell, but also in the gain of two new cells of age zero each. The only particle state variable is the cell age t. No external coordinates are needed because the population is in a well-stirred reactor. The continuous phase is assumed to have no explicit influence on the cells, presumably because the necessary nutrients are present in saturating proportions. We again have the particle state domain = [0, 00). 

It is now of interest to see how this model can be of value to the application for which it was considered. The cancerous cells are spatially distributed among normal cells so that the foregoing density functions are in fact a function of external coordinates. The external coordinates occur only as parameters, since the cells are considered to be fixed at their physical locations in the tumor. Furthermore, such a spatial dependence can also account for the possibility that the cellular constituent under consideration may vary with where the cells are in the tumor. Thus, the rth-order product density must feature a spatial vector r because of the dependence of the initial distribution g on r. Alternatively, we may regard the functions X and g in (7.3.47) as already integrated over the tumor domain so that represents the mean number of cells in the entire tumor at time t = 0. 

The copper center is situated on the surface of domain 2, close to its sevenfold axis. It is surrounded by a multitude of aromatic side-chains, many of which probably participate in the generation or stabilization of the free radical [30]. The copper ion is coordinated by four internal and a single external ligands the O from Tyr 272, N< 2 from His 496, His 581 and an acetate ion almost form a square around the copper ion (Table 8). The O from Tyr 495 is the fifth, axial ligand and is located furthest from the central ion (Fig. 23), indicating a relatively weak coordination of this ligand [159]. 

The notion of a temporal firewall is built on the assumption that the external environment of a system or subsystem cannot induce a failure in the temporal domain. With a state-only interface this is straightforward, although coordinated executions between subsystems requires a global time base. Event ports, however, introduce the possibility that assumptions about the frequency of events may be violated at run-time. If static analysis is not adequate, then the source and/or the destination of events must be monitored and controlled. 

One can assume that the considerable number of molecules connecting parallel lamellae causes a better-coordinated response to the changes of stress and/or strain. The interfibrillar tie molecules holding together the crystalline domains of neighboring microfibrils (Figure 10b) are responsible for the more or less smooth distribution of the external stress in the sample. Taking into... 

The dehydration curve can be divided in three steps that successively correspond to the evolution of 1) the zeolitic and adsorbed water on external surface (T < 7S°C), 2) coordination water linked at the edge magnesium atoms inside of the channels (in two times, domains 75-150°C and 150-370°C, two molecules each and weight losses 10.48% of the final mass), 3) structural (2.61 %), one molecule due to two hydroxyls from the octahedral layer of the talc ribbon) and decomposition of calcite. According to ref. 3, the structure folds when approximately half of the coordination water is removed, i.e. here under 2 Pa residual pressure between 100 and 130 C.
