Take the capital cost and spread it as a series of equal annual payments A made at the end of each year over n years. The first payment gains interest over (n — 1) years, and its future value after (n - 1) years is... 

Photoexcited fluorescence from spread monolayers may be studied [158,159] if the substance has both a strong absorption band and a high emission yield as in the case for chlorophyll [159]. Gaines and co-workers [160] have reported on the emission from monolayers of Ru(bipyridine)3, one of the pyridine ligands having attached C g aliphatic chains. Ruorescence depolarization provides information about the restriction of rotational diffusion of molecules in a monolayer [161], Combining pressure-area... 

Gaines [13] has reported on dimethylsiloxane-containing block copolymers. Interestingly, if the organic block would not in itself spread, the area of the block polymer was simply proportional to the siloxane content, indicating that the organic blocks did not occupy any surface area. If the organic block was separately spreadable, then it contributed, but nonadditively, to the surface area of the block copolymer. 

Density and Ink Film Thickness. Because ink film thickness directly impacts color, it is important to control film thickness on press. The amount of ink transferred to paper, along with a related factor, dot gain, which refers to how the halftone dots spread under the pressure of the printing process, is the tool by which a press operator monitors color on press. 

Coffee was originally consumed as a food in ancient Abyssinia and was presumably first cultivated by the Arabians in about 575 AD (1). By the sixteenth century it had become a popular drink in Egypt, Syria, and Turkey. The name coffee is derived from the Turkish pronunciation, kahveh, of the Arabian word gahweh signifying an infusion of the bean. Coffee was introduced as a beverage in Europe early in the seventeenth century and its use spread quickly. In 1725, the first coffee plant in the western hemisphere was planted on Martinique, West Indies. Its cultivation expanded rapidly and its consumption soon gained wide acceptance. 

Usually there is no opportunity to repeat the measurements to determine the experimental variance or standard deviation. This is the most common situation encountered in field measurements. Each measurement is carried out only once due to restricted resources, and because field-measured quantities are often unstable, repetition to determine the spread is not justified. In such cases prior knowledge gained in a laboratory with the same or a similar meter and measurement approach could be used. The second alternative is to rely on the specifications given by the instrument manufacturer, although instrumenr manufacturers do not normally specify the risk level related to the confidence limits they are giving. 

Example 21.7 The milk-cooling requirement (above) of 700 litre/h is a maximum rate. There is no need to allow for any more than this, but it cannot be any less. Alternatively, this could be cooled using an ice bank, in which case the total load of 2400 litre could be spread over 16 h of running time. With an allowance for water tank insulation heat gains and an ice water pump, the load might be reduced to a refrigeration plant one-third the size. 

When a cell suspension is applied to a surface, the events that occur can be conceptually classified into three stages (1) a cell approaches the surface, (2) the cell attaches to the surface, and (3) the cell adheres, and thus, spreads out on the surface. Most studies of cell adhesion on artificial materials measure the number of adherent cells, the cell morphology, and changes in protein expression. To gain more detailed insight into the biophysical mechanism of cell adhesion requires... 

The monolayer stability limit is defined as the maximum pressure attainable in a film spread from solution before the monolayer collapses (Gaines, 1966). This limit may in some cases correspond directly to the ESP, suggesting that the mechanism of film collapse is a return to the bulk crystalline state, or may be at surface pressures higher than the ESP if the film is metastable with respect to the bulk phase. In either case, the monolayer stability limit must be known before such properties as work of compression, isothermal compressibility, or monolayer viscosity can be determined. 

Some of the pyrolysis volatiles effused out, and could have been perceptible symptoms of the deterioration and an imminent disaster, but in open yards, unattended warehouses, or on trucks nobody was present to smell the odors. The cavities grew in all directions, approaching a pack surface one or two weeks after stacking. At that point air gained access to the hot charred material and triggered ignition. The combustion spread rapidly along the pack surface, possibly also into the opened cavity as air rushed in.
