Formalism type definition

As with other types of planning, the initial step of business planning is to define the business or service proposed. After exploring the business concept (see above), Ted likely already will have developed a clear idea of the business proposal. To formalize a definition of the business, he should develop a specific statement of the purpose of the program. This statement is also called a mission statement and was discussed in Chapter 3. The mission will crystallize the aims of the program and help to steer the direction taken in other steps of the planning process. 

Short explanations of a limited number of selected terms, or groups of terms, in the subject area are given below. These are less formal than rigid or legal-type definitions and are presented here as an aid to understanding. 

DTD Document type definition. A file associated with an SGML or XML document, giving a formalized description of the tags used and the structure of the document, as well as special entities that may be present. 

For each entity, class, property, relation, and attribute type in the formal schema definition (HDSL) we will now give an informal description of their meaning. This will be done by describing the individual attributes of the respective data structures. 

Definite Integral The concept and derivation of the definite integral are completely different from those for the indefinite integral. These are by definition different types of operations. However, the formal operation J as it turns out treats the integrand in the same way for both. 

The term mesoionic was suggested originally to describe compounds of the sydnone (129) or sydnone imine (130) type (49JCS307, 50JCS1542). Since then this term has been applied somewhat indiscriminately to a variety of heterocyclic molecules which can be represented formally as zwitterions. The original, rather restrictive definition put forward by Baker and Ollis (55CI(L)910) was later made even more so by Ollis and Ramsden (76AHC(19)1), and it is this most recent definition which now appears to be the most useful. 

Vibrations may be decomposed into three orthogonal components Ta (a = x, y, z) in three directions. These displacements have the same symmetry properties as cartesian coordinates. Likewise, any rotation may be decomposed into components Ra. The i.r. spanned by translations and rotations must clearly follow the appropriate symmetry type of the point-group character table. In quantum formalism, a transition will be allowed only if the symmetry product of the initial and final-state wave functions contains the symmetry species of the operator appropriate to the transition process. Definition of the symmetry product will be explained in terms of a simple example. 

The previous derivation was made under the implicit assumption that the activity coefficients of A and B are both equal to unity. This assumption matches the definition of E° as a standard potential. There are two cases of practical interest, where these conditions are not fulfilled. One is when the activity coefficients differ from unity but do not depend on the relative amounts of A and B in the film. This type of situation may arise when the interactions between the reactants are weak but the presence of the supporting electrolyte decreases the activity coefficients of A and/or B, yA and yB, to below 1 while they remain constant over the entire voltammo-gram. The only change required is thus to replace the standard potential by the formal potential ... 

In those jurisdictions where a formal workers compensation system is in effect, the compensation health records provide the most definitive information available because the medical, social, and work history of each employee who applies for workers compensation is investigated in comprehensive detail and is made available in large part to management. Currently, relatively few illnesses, as compared to injuries, are considered for workers compensation claims. However, if a cluster can be found with the same type of complaint, that information can be invaluable. Similar information can be obtained from private insurance companies who provide employee coverage in place of workers compensation. 

Elementary mechanical work forms were considered in Section 2.8. In the present section, we present a broader overview of the varieties of work that are commonly encountered in thermodynamic investigations. The goal is to introduce experimental techniques and operational terminology that underlie the definition and measurement of each work type. We also draw attention to formal patterns among the different forms of work that anticipate their unification with heat in a generalized energy-conservation principle. 

It is immediately clear that (5.12b) can be subsumed in (5.12a) if one defines p0 = 0. (This is merely a formal device p0 is not the same as the probability p attached to the limbo state.) With this definition we may declare (5.12a) valid for all n 1 with the additional stipulation p0 = 0. If one now approximates (5.12a) by a differential equation the boundary condition for P(x, t) becomes P(0, t) = 0. Although this conclusion was reached for a special type of absorbing boundary it can be shown to be general in the continuous description the different absorbing boundaries encountered in (VI.7) all reduce to the same boundary condition P(0, t) = 0. J... 

Therefore, often main attention in studying chemical oscillations is paid to their formal description on the macroscopic level rather than to an attempt to understand in detail the micromechanism of oscillations. It often results in necessity to make a choice between several alternative models suggested for a particular chemical system. It is difficult to restrict ourselves in theory to a definite universal basic model since it can turn out to be either too complicated for studying a particular kind of the autowave processes or, on the other hand, of a limited use due to its inability to reproduce all types of auto-wave processes.
