Goals and Concept

Although chemistry has been important for millennia in its practical application to the needs and luxuries of human life, the discipline has not always been called chemistry. It has existed in very different forms, and in very different relations to neighboring sciences and crafts, in a flux that only accelerated as the years passed. The goals and concepts of a Chinese or Arabic alchemist of antiquity or the Middle Ages differed greatly from those of a chemist of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment, just as the aims and ideas of nineteenth-century research chemists were different from those of their predecessors and successors. 

The stated goal and concept of practical elimination (Dudour and Carluec, 2011 with italic emphasis added). 

Over the past decade, the day-to-day tools underlying LEED have been a simple paper scorecard and, at the end of the process, a glass plaque displayed in a building lobby. It is remarkable to consider the impact that these simple elements have had on the industry. Today, we have the opportunity to build on these fundamental goals and concepts with information technologies that can vastly accelerate and scale up their impact. This paper describes one vision for this new phase of information-powered, analytically driven market transformation. 

The Reheat Cycle The regenerative cycle improves the efficiency of a gas turbine but does not provide any added work per pound of air flow. To achieve this latter goal, the concept of the reheat cycle must be utilized. The reheat cycle utihzed in the 1990s has pressure ratios of as high as 30 1 with turbine inlet temperatures of out 2100° F (1150° C). The reheat is done between the power turbine and the compressor trains. The reheat cycle, as shown in Fig. 29-35, con-... 

Announcement of decision to implement PTPM. A formal presentation must be made by top management introducing the concepts, goals, and benefits of PTPM. Management commitment must be made clear to all levels of the organization. 

Theories of molecular stracture attempt to describe the nature of chemical bonding both qualitatively and quantitatively. To be useful to chemists, the bonding theories must provide insight into the properties and reactivity of molecules. The stractural theories and concepts that are most useful in organic chemistry are the subject of this chapter. Our goal is to be able to relate molecular stracture, as depicted by stractural formulas and other types of stractural information, such as bond lengths and electronic distributions, to the chemical reactivity and physical properties of molecules.

To achieve their goal, the regulations rely on a number of core principles and concepts ... 

Draft move 2 of your Goals and Importance section. In the first sentence, Identify the research area In general terms. (Do not Introduce your specific research project.) Develop the research story In the next few paragraphs. Explain fundamental concepts and provide essential background Information, using the notes that you prepared In Writing on Your Own task 12A. Share what you learned from your literature review, and Its Importance, with your readers. 

Modularity. Economic competitiveness requires that the construction time be shortened dramatically. Modular construction techniques arc a key contiibntoi to achieving this goal and are a proven approach to cost control in major construction projects. Modularization provides for a larger percentage of factory construction, rather than field construction. New innovative concepts will rely heavily on modularization and will be centered around lower unit power outputs, factory assembly, and transportation of modules to the plant site. The overall plant size target is 600 MWe net electrical output. 

Quantum mechanics provides a collect description of phenomena on the atomic or subatomic scale, where the ideas of classical mechanics are not generally applicable. As we describe nuclear phenomena, we will use many results and concepts from quantum mechanics. Although it is our goal not to have the reader, in general, perform detailed quantum mechanical calculation, it is important that the reader understand the basis for many of the descriptive statements made in the text. Therefore, we present, in this Appendix, a brief summary of the essential features of quantum mechanics that we shall use. For more detailed discussion of these features, we refer the reader to the references at the end of this Appendix.
