Homogeneous properties

To discuss the development of CRMs for the emerging use of microanalytical techniques, one has to be concerned chiefly with the degree of homogeneity of the components in the material at the designated sample size. Basic indications for the homogeneity properties of a CRM for microanalytical methods and the assessment of these properties can be derived from the general requirements ... 

Other natural materials with expected intrinsic homogeneity properties that could be produced as CRMs include fractionated aerosols, conifer pollen, egg yolk or albumen, plankton of defined origin and size, and certain sediments. However, there are particular problems related to the collection and preparation, of large enough quantities of such matrices for their preparation as RMs. RM producers might initiate research and development to provide technical solutions to handle some of these problems. 

In order to understand the observed shift in oxidation potentials and the stabilization mechanism two possible explanations were forwarded by Kotz and Stucki [83], Either a direct electronic interaction of the two oxide components via formation of a common 4-band, involving possible charge transfer, gives rise to an electrode with new homogeneous properties or an indirect interaction between Ru and Ir sites and the electrolyte phase via surface dipoles creates improved surface properties. These two models will certainly be difficult to distinguish. As is demonstrated in Fig. 25, XPS valence band spectroscopy could give some evidence for the formation of a common 4-band in the mixed oxides prepared by reactive sputtering [83],... 

The results of the above mentioned study on mixed oxides prepared by thermal decomposition [84] are not in contradiction to the results obtained on reactively sputtered electrodes. A premise for common d-band formation is the formation of a solid solution with homogeneous properties which is probably not obtained during thermal decomposition. Indeed the authors find a trend towards the behaviour of the sputtered electrodes when homogeneity is improved by changing the solvent for the starting compounds. 

Reinforced concrete is a complex material to model due to the brittle nature of concrete and non-homogenous properties. Although sophisticated methods are available to model crack propagation and other responses, simplified methods are normally used in blast design of facilities. These methods are based on a flexural response and rely on elimination of brittle modes of failure. To achieve a ductile response for concrete, proper proportioning and detailing of the reinforcing is necessary. 

This approach has been used in the well-known model HELP (Hydrological Evaluation of Landfill Performance, Schroeder et al. 1994) and a number of complementary models (Nixon et al. 1997). These models mostly assume the landfilled material to be idealized layers with homogenous properties. One such model, HYDRUS, has been used to model flow through Landfill Lostorf, but it was found that it could not fully catch the dynamics of flow, particularly after rain events (Johnson et al. 2001). Water passes through the... 

Homogenization characteristics of a mechanically agitated polymerization reactor in terms of NO = /(Reeff = Ndfp/pe( ) have been published for various stirrer types and pseudoplastic liquids with power-law behavior (Opara, 1975, Tebel et al, 1986). The homogenization time is compared to that for Newtonian fluids (Opara, 1975), and the homogenization properties of a... 

To prove the homogeneity properties of the thermodynamic quantities and the Euler theorem for the Tsallis statistics in the canonical ensemble, we will consider, as an example, the exact analytical results for the nonrelativistic ideal gas.

The latter formula, Eq. (4b), expresses the second-order homogeneity property of W with respect to ZA, ZB, and R. For simplicity, we consider only one-electronic diatomic molecules. In this particular case, we have (Byers-Brown and Steiner, 1966)...

To derive an expression for nucleation rate per particle we use a procedure analogous to that for homogeneous nucleation discussed in the previous section. The main difference is that, instead of calculating a nucleation rate per unit volume, we calculate a rate per unit area of foreign substrate and then introduce the surface area of the particle, assumed to have homogeneous properties, to calculate the nucleation rate per particle. For a spherical particle of radius R cm the result is...

Equation (4.8) could be more directly derived from Eq. (4.5), by presuming that entropy, volume, and mol numbers are extensive variables as such. We use the homogeneity property of the energy, which demands that...
