External interactions, internal

Process Systems. Because of the large number of variables required to characterize the state, a process is often conceptually broken down into a number of subsystems which may or may not be based on the physical boundaries of equipment. Generally, the definition of a system requires both definition of the system s boundaries, ie, what is part of the system and what is part of the system s surroundings and knowledge of the interactions between the system and its environment, including other systems and subsystems. The system s state is governed by a set of appHcable laws supplemented by empirical relationships. These laws and relationships characterize how the system s state is affected by external and internal conditions. Because conditions vary with time, the control of a process system involves the consideration of the system s transient behavior. 

An excellent, accessible overview of what surface scientists do, the problems they address and how they link to technological needs is in a published lecture by a chemist, Somorjai (1998). He concisely sets out the function of numerous advanced instruments and techniques used by the surface scientist, all combined with UHV (LEED was merely the first), and exemplifies the kinds of physical chemical issues addressed - to pick just one example, the interactions of co-adsorbed species on a surface. He also introduces the concept of surface materials , ones in which the external or internal surfaces are the key to function. In this sense, a surface material is rather like a nanostructured material in the one case the material consists predominantly of surfaces, in the other case, of interfaces. 

Solvent effects also play an important role in the theory separating enthalpy and entropy into external and internal parts (134-136) or, in other terms, into reaction and hydration contributions (79). This treatment has been widely used (71, 73, 78, 137-141). The most general thermodynamic treatment of intermolecular interaction was given by Rudakov (6) for various states of matter and for solution enthalpy and entropy as well as for kinetics. A particular case is hydrophobic interaction (6, 89, 90). 

The elastic stress may be external or internal. External stresses are exerted on the chromatin during the cell cycle when the mitotic spindle separates chromosome pairs. The 30-nm fiber should be both highly flexible and extensible to survive these stresses. The in vitro experiments by Cui and Bustamante demonstrated that the 30-nm fiber is indeed very soft [66]. The 30-nm fiber is also exposed to internal stresses. Attractive or repulsive forces between the nucleosomes will deform the linkers connecting the nucleosomes. For instance, electrostatic interactions, either repulsive (due to the net charge of the nucleosome core particles) or attractive (bridging via the lysine-rich core histone tails [49]) could lead to considerable structural rearrangements. 

Fig.3 A migrating zone of solute molecules (spots) interacting with lipid bilayers (rings) in a chromatographic or electrophoretic separation system. The free solute molecules move (arrows) relative to the liposomes or vesicles in a flow of eluent or in an electric field. The solute molecules may either partition into the membranes and diffuse between the external and internal aqueous compartments of the structures as depicted, or interact with the external surface of the membranes and stay outside.

The interaction between the manager s external and internal worlds as the source of effectiveness is a recurrent theme of this book. Through understanding how these two worlds interact in your particular case, you will learn to understand more clearly what is the best way for you to manage. 

It has to be kept in mind that particulate materials are dispersions. In fact, the classical powder is a concentrated dispersion of solid particles in air. At a very low concentration, very Lne particles (micron, submicron size) can form an aerosol. In such a case-ewing to the large interparticulate distance-fhe particle-particle interactions can be neglected. In general, a particle can exhibit a substructure, that is, a particle may have external and internal pores. An external pore can be related to the roughness of the surface of a particle. 

The properties of interaction with external and internal Na+ and H+ have been extensively analyzed and reviewed (Aronson, 1985 Montrose and Miirer, 1988). They can be summarized as follows ... 

One concludes from this analysis that the rigid IDM provide an adequate reference frame for describing both external and internal CT processes in a reasonably compact form. However, carrying no information whatever about the reactant interaction, they are - by definition - one-reactant concepts, and therefore may not constitute the optimum collective charge displacement coordinates for reactive systems. In Sections 5.2 and 5.3 we extend this search into... 

Two types of reference are used in NMR—Internal and external. An internal reference is a compound giving a sharp NMR line that is dissolved directly in the sample solution under study. The reference substance is then dispersed uniformly at a molecular level through the sample. The magnetic field acts equally on the sample and reference molecules, so that Eq. 4.6 and the other relations derived before are completely valid. Provided the reference compound does not react chemically with the sample, the only serious drawback of an internal reference is the possibility that intermolecular interactions might influence the resonance frequency of the reference. Usually, by careful choice of relatively inert... 

Taking into account that there are no interaction between the external and internal rotation, the switch subgroup corresponding to external rotation may be completely factorized, so that ... 

Neglecting the interactions between the external an internal rotations, the local full NRG may be written taking into account (76) as ...
