In principle, a de novo protein structure determination requires one round of 7 Candid cycles. This is realistic for projects where an essentially complete chemical shift list is available and much effort was made to prepare a complete high-quality input of NOESY peak lists. In practice, it turned out to be more efficient to start a first round of Candid analysis without excessive work for the preparation of the input peak list, using an slightly incomplete list of safely identifiable NOESY cross peaks, and then to use the result of the first round of Candid assignment and structure determination as additional information from which to prepare an improved, more complete NOESY peak list as input for a second round of 7 Candid cycles. 

Next, Cornelissen extended the LCA study to include the effect of depletion of natural resources making use of ELCA, the exergetic life cycle assessment. In this analysis a full mass and energy balance was made, that is, a first law analysis. Exergy values for all mass and energy streams were included in accordance with the Tables 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 in Chapters 6 and 7. This analysis clearly showed where work was available in inputs and outputs and where it was lost. He could show that the cup scored less favorable than the mug in terms of depletion of natural resources (817 MJ vs. 442 MJ). 

The models in the R D stage can first be simple, and then become more detailed as work proceeds. At this stage, attention has to be focused on the phenomena of phase equilibrium, on the physical properties of the materials, on chemical kinetics as well as on the kinetics of mass and heat transfer. As previously shown (see Figs 1.2 and 1.3), the decomposition ofthe process into different elementary units is one of the first activities. This action requires careful attention especially because, at this life-cycle stage, the process could be nothing but an idea. The work starts with the physical properties, as they act as an input to all other components. The guidelines to choose physical properties, phase equilibrium data, characteristic state equations etc. can be found in the usual literature. For each studied... 

Following the first part of Carnot s theorem the efficiencies of all reversible Carnot cycles with the working temperatures Tw and Tq, Ty Tq > 0, are ecjual we must conclude that in the opposite case we would be able to couple two Carnot machines with different efficiencies j/i, 72/ 7l 7 72 in such a way that the resulting machine would be the perpetuum mobile cf the II. order (machine changing cyclically, permanently the whole input heat AQw in the output work AA) AQw = AA). So it must be valid that rj = tj2.
