As described above, protein domains that provide discrete biological cues (e.g., cell binding) or mechanical properties (e.g., expansion or contraction with temperature changes) can be borrowed from nature and designed into synthetic polypeptides or joined with other polymers to provide bio-inspired function in new... 

Measurement of the effect of heat on the mechanical properties of a sample, e.g. expansion, compression, penetration, extension and resonant frequency of oscillation. 

Equipment should tolerate maloperation, poor installation or maintenance without failure. E.g. expansion loops in pipework are more tolerant to poor installation than bellows. The construction materials should be resistant to corrosion and physical conditions. For most applications metal is safer than glass or plastic. 

If some work is done, e.g. expansion of a gas, q is less than AH. 

Obviously, in systems with more than one order parameter, when the different ordering modes are coupled in one way or the other, the ordering kinetics are appreciably more complicated. In order to produce mismatched periodic patterns in a crystal (incommensurate structures), Landau and Lifshitz [L.D. Landau, E. M. Lifshitz (1980)] proposed a G expansion of the form... 

While it may be reasonable (at least to a first approximation) to distinguish between resonant atoms in a surface shell and those in the bulk, the application of this model to particle size determination is also complicated by the possible presence of lattice modifications (e.g., expansions or contractions) for small particles. This point has been emphasized by Schroeer (752) and interpreted in terms of an internal pressure. For example, Ktindig et al. (143) found a nearly linear dependence with dispersion of the quadrupole splitting e for a-Fe203 microcrystals. As noted above, this was explained in terms of the shell model. However, if the lattice parameter a of a 5-nm particle is increased over the bulk value by 2% (755), then the increase in the quadrupole splitting Ae with decrease in particle size may be related to a corresponding increase in the lattice parameter A a by (Ae/e)/(Aa/a) 65... 

In binary solutions similar problems occur for correlation functions evaluated at large momenta. From field theory it is known that correlation functions in the regime q e 1 can be expanded in a series of anomalous powers (qCe) Only the leading term of that series is reproduced correctly by our method. It is found, however, that the subleading terms of the large-g expansion are not important quantitatively, which justifies our approach at least on the level of a one-loop calculation.

Expansion of gas-filled beads by application of heat or expansion of these beads in a polymer mass by the heat of reaction, e.g. expansion of polystyrene beads in a polyurethane or epoxy resin system. 

In order to avoid the possibility of misunderstanding, it may be pointed out here that many changes which occur spontaneously in nature, e g., expansion of a gas, evaporation of a liquid and even chemical reactions, can be carried out reversibly, at l t in principle, as described in 8a However, when they do occur spontaneously, without external intervention, they are thermodynamically irreversible. 

Many changes which are naturally spontaneous, e.g., expansion of a gas, solution of zinc in copper sulfate, etc., can be carried out, actually or in principle, in a reversible manner. It should be clearly understood that in the latter event the total entropy of the system and its surroundings remains unchanged. There is an increase of entropy only when the change occurs spontaneously and hence irreversibly. 

The matured oocytes were visually judged on the basis of their external characteristics (e.g. expansion of the cumulus cells and presence of smaller and darker oocytes), as indicators of degree of maturity. The selected oocytes were then placed in a culture Petri-dish containing TALP-hepes medium, washed two times in TALP-hepes and one time in Fert-Talp medium. 15-20 oocytes were transferred into the 50p.l droplet of Fert-Talp media that was supplemented with caffeine and Heparin. Then a final volume of the prepared semen, containing 1-2 x 10 sperm cells/ml, was added to the 50pl droplet containing the matured oocytes. The in-vitro fertilization was performed in media supplemented with 20 pg of heparin/mL and 6 mg/mL of fatty Iree-acid BSA fraction, covered with mineral oil for 18 h in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 and at 39 C in air. 

Most manufacturers demand a higher rate of return on so-called "discretionary" investments (e.g., conservation) relative to main-stream investments (e.g., expansion of capacity), because investments critical to maintaining market share must be given high priority.

Competitions do not lead per se to a lack of land areas or biomass. There are various compensation possibilities e.g. expansion of the cultivated land areas, import, substitution, higher yields). Additionally there will be increasing price, which can be coimected with appropriate feedback effects and therefore do not have to be assessed negatively a priori. 

Phase transition hysteresis takes place within T range depends on the G expansion coefficients (Equation 27)... 

Thus, the presence of the cubic term in the G expansion ziccounts for the presence of a first-order phase transition in the system. 

At small c values (with the cubic term of the G expansion), the temperature range of hysteresis is narrow, and the order parameter value Qn is small, in accordance with Equations 29 aind 24. Such trauisitions aire referred to as first-order continuous-like transitions (Figure 1.27). 

Let us consider a variant of the G expansion (Equation 1) with even powers of Q up to (Landau, 1937a Strukov and Levanyuk, 1983)...

The dimensions are typically d = 100 p.m and d2 and d3 both 250-300 p.m. The two tubes leading to the MS and from the GC, and drawn down to small apertures, must be accurately aligned. Such devices are normally fabricated of an inert material such as borosilicate glass.

First, consider a macroscopic process, e.g., expansion of A molecules in an ideal-gas phase from volume ViolV. In this process AG < 0 and we say that there is a thermodynamic force driving the system from the initial state i to the final state /.
