In a subsequent work [182], it was shown that the photoelectrochemical performance of InSe can be considerably improved by means of selective (photo)electrochemical etching. Interestingly, whereas the cleavage vdW plane showed little improvement, the photocurrent in the face parallel to the c-axis was doubled. Note that, in contrast to InSe crystals cleaved in the plane perpendicular to the c-axis that are almost defect free, the crystals cut in the plane parallel to the c-axis contain a high density of defects on their surface which leads to a high rate of electron-hole recombinations and inferior quantum efficiency. The asymmetry in the role of electrons and holes, as manifested, e.g., in the fact that surface holes carry out the selective corrosion of the semiconductor surface in both cleavage orientations, was discussed. 

When the compositional asymmetry is further increased, the minority component assembles in hexagonally packed cylinders (C). Finally, it is organized in an array of spheres, cf. Table 1. A body-centred cubic lattice arrangement (S or bee) is mostly observed however, other symmetries like the face-centred (fee) or A15 cubic were also reported and will be reviewed in Sects. 8.3 and 7.4 respectively. 

The unit cell considered here is a primitive (P) unit cell that is, each unit cell has one lattice point. Nonprimitive cells contain two or more lattice points per unit cell. If the unit cell is centered in the (010) planes, this cell becomes a B unit cell for the (100) planes, an A cell for the (001) planes a C cell. Body-centered unit cells are designated I, and face-centered cells are called F. Regular packing of molecules into a crystal lattice often leads to symmetry relationships between the molecules. Common symmetry operations are two- or three-fold screw (rotation) axes, mirror planes, inversion centers (centers of symmetry), and rotation followed by inversion. There are 230 different ways to combine allowed symmetry operations in a crystal leading to 230 space groups.12 Not all of these are allowed for protein crystals because of amino acid asymmetry (only L-amino acids are found in proteins). Only those space groups without symmetry (triclinic) or with rotation or screw axes are allowed. However, mirror lines and inversion centers may occur in protein structures along an axis. 

Here, it can bee seen that system modules are not directly matched to process structures defined in the Supply Chain Planning Matrix. Also, the asymmetry between market facing parts of procurement and sales are not intuitive. However, APS extend the perspective on business applications extending the classical tasks of ERP and transactional systems to a management and planning level. With APS implemented in multiple industries and validated specifically in the process industry (Schaub/Zeier 2003) or also for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) (Friedrich 2000), importance will further grow. 

One consequence of the molecular asymmetry is that the core particle presents two distinct faces, arbitrarily labeled ventral and dorsal in our images. These two faces have subtle yet distinct dilferences in the electrostatic surface potentials they present. 

Fig. 12. Asymmetry of the DNA phosphodiester backbone trace as seen in the Oak Ridge NCP structural model (PDB access code lEQZ). No attempt has been made to regularize the geometry of the DNA positions of phosphates are based solely on the experimental electron density. Here the two DNA gyres are overlaid, with the 72 bp ventral gyre in red and the 73 bp dorsal gyre in blue. The minor groove positions facing the histone core are numbered sequentially from the dyad axis. The most pronounced asymmetry is seen in position 2 (10 o clock).

Asymmetry of cell membranes. The luminal faces of the ER and other organelles correspond to the extracellular face of the plasma membrane. 

First, let us recall the shortcomings of the sales concept in face of information asymmetries. As stated in section 2, the traditional selling of chemicals, firstly, does not prevent over-consumption. In a competitive market it is rather the aim of the sales concept to sell as much commodities as possible to increase the profits of the sellers. A sales contract consequently provides no incentives to reduce such adverse effects of chemicals on human health and the environment that are related to the quantity of chemicals in use. Secondly, the sales concept provides no incentives for transferring accurate knowledge on the efficient application of the chemical, as this lowers the profits of the sellers. In contrast, Chemical Leasing business models are capable to effectively deal with problems of information asymmetries. Based on the findings of Ohl and Moser (2007), both models introduced above (A and B) show comparative advantages as follows ... 

Consequently, when faced with a consumption choice of the same type as Becker and Murphy s rational consumer, hyperbolic discounters with willpower will act in a similar way. In particular, the asymmetry between stopping and starting, which is the defining characteristic of Becker and Murphy s rational addict, is reproduced in the hyperbolic case.
