Intensive factors

Wavenumbers scaled by optimized factors. Intensities for Raman active modes classified by the present authors on the basis of the calculated values. The intensities of two IR active vibrations were calculated to be equal (Ra) = Raman active, (IR) = infrared active [181]...

In addition to the scale factor, intensity scattered by a lattice is also subject to different geometrical effects, G, which are various functions of the diffraction angle, 0. All things considered, the intensity scattered by a lattice may be given by the following equation ...

In general, energy or work is the product of an intensive factor and an extensive factor. Intensive factors are those properties that are independent of the size of the system, such as temperature, pressure, odour and density. An extensive factor on the other hand is one which depends on the size of the system, such as mass, volume and internal energy. 

An aqueous natural system needs to be characterized by both intensity and capacity factors. Intensity factors (e.g., pH) reflect activities of free species capacity factors, on the other hand, reflect the total concentration of relevant species (e.g., total acidity). A capacity factor can be described as a conservative property that is indirectly temperature- and pressure-dependent while an intensity factor is directly dependent on temperature and pressure. Thus for acid-base systems, pH is an intensity factor while alkalinity, or the acid neutralizing capacity, is a capacity factor. An important characteristic of any aqueous system is the total concentrations of the components of interest... 

Let us assume that there are three types of solid phases of phosphorus in wetland soils (Figure 9.31). Under alkaline conditions, these could be dicalcium phosphate (CaHP04) (A), octacalcium phosphate (Ca8(H2P04)g) (B), and hydroxyapatite (Ca5(P04)30H) (C). The stability of these phosphate solid phases can be explained by intensity and capacity factors. Intensity factor refers to the concentration or activity of ions in solution. Capacity factor refers to the amount and type of solid phase in soil. 

For more than a hundred years, quantities that appear in this role have been called intensive factors, intensive quantities, or simply intensive. Unfortunately, this descripticMi does not agree completely with the definition in Sect. 1.6. In order to avoid misunderstandings, we have no choice but to look for a new name. The German physicist and physician Hermann von Helmholtz came up with one that would be helpful to us. Using Joseph Louis De Lagrange s concept of forces in the field of mechanics, he generalized it. We refer to this and call the quantities force-Uke. ... 

A sensor is a device capable of converting a physical or chemical quantity into readable information. In addition to a topological classification (local or distributed, intrinsic or extrinsic), a more basic classification can be made according to the optical parameter affected by the external factor intensity, phase, wavelength, and polarization.
