Incomplete sensitivity

In this figure one can clearly see an image of a weld defective area with a superimposed groove defectometer Fe2 4 mm thick. The depth of a minimum groove was 0,5 mm. One can clearly see a groove 0,2 mm deep, which corresponds to sensitivity less than 2% Both incomplete root penetration and metal weld beads can be clearly seen in the image. 

The equiHbrium approach should not be used for species that are highly sensitive to variations in residence time, oxidant concentration, or temperature, or for species which clearly do not reach equiHbrium. There are at least three classes of compounds that cannot be estimated weU by assuming equiHbrium CO, products of incomplete combustion (PlCs), and NO. Under most incineration conditions, chemical equiHbrium results in virtually no CO or PlCs, as required by regulations. Thus success depends on achieving a nearly complete approach to equiHbrium. Calculations depend on detailed knowledge of the reaction network, its kinetics, the mixing patterns, and the temperature, oxidant, and velocity profiles. 

This catalyst system is temperature-sensitive and does not function effectively at temperatures below 10°C but at temperatures over 35°C the generation of free radicals can be too prolific, giving rise to incomplete cross-linking formation. Redox systems are preferred for fabrication at temperatures ranging from 20—30°C (Fig. 5). 

Biodegradation studies of starch blends have not been conclusive where a nondegradable synthetic polymer has been the blend component probably biodisiategration would be a better term to describe these polymers. The principal deficiencies of products based on this chemistry, aside from the incomplete biodegradation, are water-sensitivity of manufactured articles, and the balance of this and biodegradation with the starch level ia the product. 

There is a substantial literature on the thermal and photochemical degradation of PS and it is well established that polymer properties are sensitive to the manner in which a particular sample of PS is prepared. For example, it has been reported that PS prepared by anionic polymerization shows enhanced stability with respect to that prepared by a radical mechanism.2 10 This has often been attributed to the presence of "weak links" in the latter polymers. However, the precise nature of the "weak links" remains the subject of some controversy. T he situation is further confused by all PS prepared by radical mechanisms often being considered as a class without reference to the particular polymerization conditions employed in their preparation. In many cases the polymers are "commercial samples" with details of the method of preparation incomplete or unstated. 

Its expl props were incompletely examined by van Duin and van Lennep (Ref 4). They reported an expin temp of 251° when heated at 20° per minute 245° when heated at 5° per minute. Its impact sensitivity was less than PETN and more sensitive than Tetryl, and it evolved nitrous gases after being heated at 70° for 4 hours... 

Hence, the radiative equilibrium temperature is sensitive to changes in the solar constant, planetary albedo, and the radiative properties of the earth-atmosphere-ocean system. In addition, changes internal to the earth-atmosphere-ocean system may alter the climate. Table I is an incomplete list of phenomena that individually or in concert could alter climate. 

The two features of elasticity and plasticity are the key features of stress-strain responses. The responses are dynamic and they may be totally or incompletely reversible, totally irreversible and also sensitive to various... 

Lippi et. al (87) and Dirstine (88) circumvented titration by converting the liberated fatty acids into copper salts, which after extraction in chloroform are reacted with diethyldithio-carbamate to form a colored complex which is measured photometrically. While the end point appears to be more sensitive than the pH end point determination, the advantages are outweighed by the additional steps of solvent extraction, centrifugation and incomplete extraction when low concentrations of copper salts are present. Other substrates used for the measurement of lipase activity have been tributyrin ( ), phenyl laurate (90), p-nit ro-pheny1-stearate and 3-naphthyl laurate (91). It has been shown that these substrates are hydrolyzed by esterases and thus lack specificity for lipase. Studies on patients with pancreatitis indicate olive oil emulsion is definitely superior to water soluble esters as substrates for measuring serum lipase activity. 

A possible alternative is the microvillous part of the chemosensory epithelium in the Organ of Rodolfo-Masera (Septal Organ), which is VN-like (Taniguchi etal., 1993). This mixed receptor population requires much further study since it could prove to have intermediate odourant sensitivities (Giannetti et al., 1995). Its distribution and function(s) are still incompletely known however it is sufficiently widespread, from Opossums to Rodents, to warrant an intensive survey (Rodolfo-Masera, 1943 Kratzing, 1978 Giannetti et al., 1992 and 1995). 

This difunctional analogue of cumyl hydroperoxide appears to be no more hazardous that the latter. Though impact-sensitive, the decomposition was mild and incomplete. 

The main tools used to provide global projections of future climate are general circulation models (GCMs). These are mathematical models based on fundamental physical laws and thus constitute dynamical representations of the climate system. Computational constraints impose a limitation on the resolution that it is possible to realise with such models, and so some unresolved processes are parameterised within the models. This includes many key processes that control climate sensitivity such as clouds, vegetation and oceanic convection [19] of which scientific understanding is still incomplete.
