The preceding discussion has been completely based on the Heisenberg representation. The foundations of DFT, on the other hand, are usually formulated within the framework of the Schrodinger picture, so that one might ask in how far this field theoretical procedure can be useful. It is, however, possible to go over to an appropriately chosen Schrodinger representation as long as one does not try to eliminate the quantised photon fields (compare Sections 7d, lOg of Ref. [34]). The Hamiltonian then reads 

Moreover, all corresponding counterterms (being expectation values) are independent of the representation, so that the renormalisation scheme remains unchanged and it is just a matter of convenience which representation is used. While the Heisenberg representation (2.20) is more suitable for the derivation of explicit functionals, the Hamiltonian (2.43) (together with Eq. (2.40)) can be utilised for the proof of a relativistic Hohenberg-Kohn theorem. 

For the inequality between ground state energies, required for the second step, a minimum principle for the ground state energy (2.40) is used. However, while the Ritz variational principle is well established in the non-relativistic 

In summary, one finds that there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the class of external potentials just differing by gauge transformations, the associated class of ground states and the ground state four current, 

Of course, the functional 0[ ] has to reflect an eventual gauge dependence of the operator 6 and may require renormalisation, indicated by the addition of a counterterm AO. Note that, by virtue of the unique correspondence between j and V also all counterterms become functionals of j. For instance, the ground state energy itself, including all counterterms, would be 

The development of convenient and usable forms of the basic conservation principles and the role of the constitutive models and boundary conditions in a continuum mechanics framework occupy the remaining sections of this chapter. In the remainder of this section, we discuss the foundations and consequences of the continuum hypothesis in more detail. 

It is important to remark that we shall never actually calculate macroscopic variables as averages of molecular variables. The purpose of introducing an explicit connection between the macroscopic and molecular (or microscopic) variables is that the conditions for (w) to define a meaningful macroscopic (or continuum) point variable provide sufficient conditions 

In other words, it must be possible to choose an averaging volume that is arbitrarily small compared with the macroscale L while still remaining very much larger than the microscale 8. Although the condition (2 2) will always be sufficient for validity of the continuum hypothesis, it is unnecessarily conservative because of the use of volume averaging in the definition (2-1) rather than the more fundamental ensemble average definition of macroscopic variables. Nevertheless, the preceding discussion is adequate for our present purposes. 

The relativistic Hohenberg-Kohn theorem was first formulated by Rajagopal and Callaway [5,6] and by McDonald and Vosko [7]. As expected for a Lorentz covariant situation it states that the ground-state energy is a rniique functional of the ground-state four-current 

Again counter-terms and subtraction of vacuum expectation values have to be taken care of. 

In practical applications the question arises What is the situation if the external potential is electrostatic ext( ) = The an- 

The question whether these functionals are known is a different story. 

The relativistic Kohn-Sham scheme starts, in complete analogy to the non-relativistic case, with a representation of the four-current and of the non-interacting kinetic energy in terms of auxiliary spinor orbitals [8]. If one calculates the four-current of a system of fermions in an external potential (as indicated above), one obtains 

To optimize this approach the boimdaries of the engineering system are necessary in order to apply the mathematical results and numerical techniques of the optimization theory to engineering problems. For purposes of analjreis, they serve to isolate the system from its surroundings, because all interactions between the sj em and its surroundings are assumed fixed/frozen at selected, representative levels. However, since interactions and complications always exist, the act of defining the system boundaries is required in the process of approximating the real system. It also requires defining the quantitative criterion on the basis of which candidates will be ranked to determine the best approach. Included will be the selection system variables that will be used to characterize or identify candidates, and to define a model that will express the manner in which the variables are related. 

Unfortunately at times this approach may result in that the initial choice of performance boundary/requirements is too restrictive. In order to analyze a given engineering system fiilly it may be necessary to expand the performance boundaries to include other sub-performance systems that strongly affect the operation of the model under study. As an example, a manufacturer finishes products that are mounted on an assembly line and decorate. In an initial study of the secondary decorating operation one may consider it separate from the rest of the assembly line. However, one may find that the optimal batch size and method of attachment sequence are strongly influenced by the operation of the RP fabrication department that produces the fabricated products (as an example problems of contaminated surface and other detriments in the product could interfere with applying the decoration). 

Required is selecting an approach to determine a criterion on the basis of which the performance requirements or design of the system can be evaluated resulting in the most appropriate design or set of operating conditions can be identified. In many engineering applications this criterion concerns economics. In turn one has to define economics such 

This review shows what the veteran plastic designer knows that plastic products are often stiffness critical, whereas metal products are usually strength critical. Consequently, metal products are often made stiffer than required by their service conditions, to avoid failure, whereas plastic products are often made stronger than necessary, for adequate stiffness. 

To design successful RP products meeting factors such as quality requirements, consistency, designated life, and profitability what is needed is understanding and applying the behavior of plastics such as the important factors of service load, temperature, and time at temperature load in optimizing the design. 

These are complex systems consisting of a suspension-emulsion system (sometimes referred to as suspoemulsions). Pigment particles are usually dispersed in the continuous phase of an O/W or W/0 emulsion. Volatile oils such as cyclome-thicone are usually used. The system should be thixotropic to ensure uniformity of the film and good levelling. 

a summary, which is by no means exhaustive, is given of the various classes of surfactants commonly used in cosmetics, and personal care, formula- 

As noted above, surfactants used in cosmetic formulations must be completely free of allergences, sensitisers and irritants. To minimise medical risks, cosmetic formulators tend to use polymeric surfactants, which are less likely to penetrate beyond the stratum comeum and, hence, they are less likely to cause damage. 

Conventional anionic, cationic, amphoteric and nonionic surfactants are also used in cosmetic systems. Besides the synthetic surfactants that are used in preparing cosmetic systems such as emulsions, creams, suspensions, etc., several other naturally occurring materials have been introduced and there has been a trend in recent years to use such natural products more widely, in the belief that they are safer for application. 

Macromolecular surfactants possess considerable advantages for use in cosmetic ingredients. The most commonly used materials are the ABA block copolymers. 

To do that, we need to develop a much more detailed understanding of the functional domain. That is the purpose of this chapter, and to that end we provide a rigorous foundation by formalising some of our earlier concepts. As a starting point, we provide a formal definition of a functional element. 

Note that this definition does not limit the interactions to intended interactions. So, while the functionality of a plant is described by a functional element, there may be other functional elements associated with a plant, representing unintended interactions. As a result, we extend the definition of the functional domain  

The types of variables associated with a functional element were discussed briefly in Sec. C3.2 this can be formalised by the following definitions  

The functional parameters associated with a functional element are the variables that describe a subset of the stakeholder requirements.

The factors fp and fj have not been applied to installation costs because installation costs are not a simple function of purchase cost. Although process piping and fittings made for the same unusual conditions are proportionally more expensive, labor, foundations, insulation, etc. are not. Furthermore, only about 70 percent of piping is directly exposed to process fluid. The balance is auxiliary or utility piping made of conventional materials. 

In 1990, at the request of the Director of the Center for Refining, Petrochemistry and Engineering at the Ecole Nationale Superieure du Petrole et des Moteurs, the late Jean Durandet initiated the conceptual foundations for the new series that he was unable to complete.

The classic nucleation theory is an excellent qualitative foundation for the understanding of nucleation. It is not, however, appropriate to treat small clusters as bulk materials and to ignore the sometimes significant and diffuse interface region. This was pointed out some years ago by Cahn and Hilliard [16] and is reflected in their model for interfacial tension (see Section III-2B).

Most of the Langmuir films we have discussed are made up of charged amphiphiles such as the fatty acids in Chapter IV and the lipids in Sections XV-4 and 5. Depending on the pH and ionic strength of the subphase, electrostatic effects can become quite important. Here we develop the theoretical foundation for charged films with the Donnan relationship. Then we mention the influence of subphase pH on film behavior. 

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an introduction to tlie basic framework of quantum mechanics, with an emphasis on aspects that are most relevant for the study of atoms and molecules. After siumnarizing the basic principles of the subject that represent required knowledge for all students of physical chemistry, the independent-particle approximation so important in molecular quantum mechanics is introduced. A significant effort is made to describe this approach in detail and to coimnunicate how it is used as a foundation for qualitative understanding and as a basis for more accurate treatments. Following this, the basic teclmiques used in accurate calculations that go beyond the independent-particle picture (variational method and perturbation theory) are described, with some attention given to how they are actually used in practical calculations. 

Although a separation of electronic and nuclear motion provides an important simplification and appealing qualitative model for chemistry, the electronic Sclirodinger equation is still fomiidable. Efforts to solve it approximately and apply these solutions to the study of spectroscopy, stmcture and chemical reactions fonn the subject of what is usually called electronic structure theory or quantum chemistry. The starting point for most calculations and the foundation of molecular orbital theory is the independent-particle approximation. 

At its foundation level, statistical mechanics mvolves some profound and difficult questions which are not fiilly understood, even for systems in equilibrium. At the level of its applications, however, the rules of calculation tliat have been developed over more than a century have been very successfLil. 

In this chapter, the foundations of equilibrium statistical mechanics are introduced and applied to ideal and weakly interacting systems. The coimection between statistical mechanics and thennodynamics is made by introducing ensemble methods. The role of mechanics, both quantum and classical, is described. In particular, the concept and use of the density of states is utilized. Applications are made to ideal quantum and classical gases, ideal gas of diatomic molecules, photons and the black body radiation, phonons in a hannonic solid, conduction electrons in metals and the Bose—Einstein condensation. Introductory aspects of the density... 

In 1872, Boltzmaim introduced the basic equation of transport theory for dilute gases. His equation detemiines the time-dependent position and velocity distribution fiinction for the molecules in a dilute gas, which we have denoted by /(r,v,0- Here we present his derivation and some of its major consequences, particularly the so-called //-tlieorem, which shows the consistency of the Boltzmann equation with the irreversible fomi of the second law of themiodynamics. We also briefly discuss some of the famous debates surrounding the mechanical foundations of this equation. 

Wlien H has reached its minimum value this is the well known Maxwell-Boltzmaim distribution for a gas in themial equilibrium with a unifomi motion u. So, argues Boltzmaim, solutions of his equation for an isolated system approach an equilibrium state, just as real gases seem to do. Up to a negative factor (-/fg, in fact), differences in H are the same as differences in the themiodynamic entropy between initial and final equilibrium states. Boltzmaim thought that his //-tiieorem gave a foundation of the increase in entropy as a result of the collision integral, whose derivation was based on the Stosszahlansatz. 

Linear response theory is an example of a microscopic approach to the foundations of non-equilibrium thennodynamics. It requires knowledge of tire Hamiltonian for the underlying microscopic description. In principle, it produces explicit fomuilae for the relaxation parameters that make up the Onsager coefficients. In reality, these expressions are extremely difficult to evaluate and approximation methods are necessary. Nevertheless, they provide a deeper insight into the physics. 

In the case of bunolecular gas-phase reactions, encounters are simply collisions between two molecules in the framework of the general collision theory of gas-phase reactions (section A3,4,5,2 ). For a random thennal distribution of positions and momenta in an ideal gas reaction, the probabilistic reasoning has an exact foundation. Flowever, as noted in the case of unimolecular reactions, in principle one must allow for deviations from this ideal behaviour and, thus, from the simple rate law, although in practice such deviations are rarely taken into account theoretically or established empirically. 

The foundations of the modem tireory of elementary gas-phase reactions lie in the time-dependent molecular quantum dynamics and molecular scattering theory, which provides the link between time-dependent quantum dynamics and chemical kinetics (see also chapter A3.11). A brief outline of the steps hr the development is as follows [27],... 

Flere, we shall concentrate on basic approaches which lie at the foundations of the most widely used models. Simplified collision theories for bimolecular reactions are frequently used for the interpretation of experimental gas-phase kinetic data. The general transition state theory of elementary reactions fomis the starting point of many more elaborate versions of quasi-equilibrium theories of chemical reaction kinetics [27, M, 37 and 38].
