Generic statement

Consequently, it is difficult, and potentially misleading, to make generic statements about which scenarios and human exposure factors are most appropriate. 

If this assumption is reasonable, it is common to use an overall heat transfer coefficient U, combining the individual resistances. Compared with axial interparficular effects, radial heat transfer at the hot spot is more significant. Moreover, axial and radial mass transfer effects are also less important in experimental reactors. A more generic statement of Equation 3.102 is based on the scaling from (3.87) ... 

These statements do not perfectly fit other examples of reduction-talk 1 will later refer to these statements as generic statements - we need a special apparatus to deal with these constructions (see Sect. 5.6.2). 

This gives an idea of how to account for reduction statements about individual types. The thesis that mental types reduces to physical types is best constmed in terms of generic statements, and, hence, in terms of generic reduction. This explication accounts for diversity in terms of conceptual diversity. Sections 6.3 and 6.5 argue that this perfectly matches and vindicates a number of points that have been made in the debate on type-identity theory. The next two sections discuss the connection between conceptual and metaphysical issues in type identity theories, relating them to the explication proposed above. 

Some consideration was given to the first MSDS for a laboratory chemical that students were actually ask to read in detail. One recommendation is to use an older form MSDS. These are usually shorter, are more narrative, and contain less arcane abbreviations than the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) format. The information on physical properties and precautionary labeling is usually found up front. The first MSDS should represent a chemical that has some obvious hazard already known to most of the students, such as ammonium hydroxide. The point is to introduce the MSDS as a useful document and convey some respect for the information it contains. TAs (and faculty) must be instructed not to belittle or ridicule the MSDS as a useless bureaucratic document. Students should appreciate the fact that a MSDS has to address the worst possible industrial scenario. They should be told that MSDSs for dilute solutions are often the same as those for concentrated solutions or pure chemicals. The same generic statements are often used, in particular the disclaimer that usually states something like The user should recognize that this product can cause severe injury and even death, especially if improperly handled or the known dangers are not heeded. This statement was on a MSDS for lump iron. 

The entity header can contain a generic statement. For synthesis, this defines constants that can be accessed by the port statement or the architecture body. A generic list (Chapter 5) is contained inside the generic statement, which has the syntax ... 

Each identifier is the name of a port in the design. It is treated as a signal. The constraint, if any, applied to the type or subtype must be static. It may contain generics defined in a preceding generic statement. The default initial value expression of the port is ignored by the synthesizer. 

The entity describes the top-level structure of a design and acts as the I/O interface between the multiplexer and the external environment. The connections at the top level of the design hierarchy are illustrated in Figure 4.1. The entity dedaration required for this drcuit is shown in Figure 4.2. It does not contain a Generic statement, default port values or a entity statement part, all of which cannot be synthesized. 

Like an entity, a block may declare a header part that contains Port and Generic statements. The port map controls the visibility of signals in the block from the higher level architecture. Neither die Port nor Generic statements are generally supported by synthesizers within a Block statement. 

Equation (4a) is the generic statement of the new elasticity law [59, Chapter 2], It states that elastic modulus is equal to an integral over the force density of a material undergoing elastic chemical bond deformations inside the unit of pattern of the material, in response to an applied stress.
