Frank index

This energy clearly diverges as ro 0, that is, the energy becomes unbounded as the disclination is approached. Another observation is that all solutions sharing the same absolute value for their Frank index also have the same energy. The region occupying the volume with 0 < r < ro is often called the core and the inner radius ro is called the core radius. The core radius is usually estimated to be of the order of molecular dimensions [110, p.l71]. 

The energy of a disclination at one of the cusp points must also be added to Fsurf [107]. This can be estimated by treating the disclination as an axial disclination of strength s = 1 (see Fig. 3.20 on p.ll4), which is limited to a half-space, since we are examining a disclination at a surface. The integration in 0 in the energy equation (3.352) therefore only takes place over the interval 0 < 0 < tt with Frank index n = 2. The relevant energy per unit area around the disclination is then...

Whole blood total thiamin below 150 nmol per L is considered to indicate deficiency. However, the changes observed in depletion studies are small. Even in patients with frank beriberi, the total thiamin concentration in erythrocytes is only 20% lower than normal whole blood thiamin is not a sensitive index of status. 

Dr. Frank P. Lees, Loss Prevention in the Process Industries Hazard Identification, Assessment and Control, 2d ed., ISBN 0-8169-1547-8. This is a three-volume set published by Butterworth-Heinemann, Oxford. U.K., 1996. Dr. Frank Lees s epic three-volume masterpiece is without a doubt the premier source of practical and statistical pnKess safety reference material. Within the. 1,962 pages of valuable facts, nearly every aspect of process safety is covered. Should you wish additional description of the b(K)k. try Butterworth-Heinemann s web site at www.butterworth.heinemann.co.uk/register/ us/index.htm. Since this is a British text, there is little specific information on compliance with the OSHA Process Safety Management standard. A large index makes it easy to find specific subject material. List price 599, and worth every penny. I have seen discounted prices.

Simulations of marine-meteoric mixing (e.g. Plummer, 1975 Wigley Plummer, 1976) predicted calcite oversaturation in waters with 20-70% sea water. However, the saturation degree of the mixed waters varies depending on the initial calcite saturation index, C02 and temperature. Nevertheless, predictive models constructed by Frank Lohmann(1995) for low-Mg calcite precipitation in... 

We must perforce devote some time and attention to the concept known as the vlscoilty Index, which has become embedded in the terminology of technological lubrication with some unfortunate connotations. Whereas the Walther equation and the ASTM viscosity-temperature charts are frankly empirical devices used to linearize the viscosity-temperature relations for convenience and utility, the viscosity index is an attempt to impart the mystique of quality by assigning an evaluative aspect to the... 

QM theory has been applied to studies of several other oxide surfaces in recent years. The structure of the low index surfaces of AI2O3 has been computed within PW-LDA theory (Manassidis and Gillan, 1994), which predicts a very large relaxation of the basal plane surface (0001). Studies of this surface have been extended to the adsorption of niobium atoms (Kruse et al., 1994) and of complex organic molecules (Frank et al., 1995).
