Initiation development

Since its initial development, SERS has been used for the surface characterization of a good iiumber of systems. One important extension to the use of SERS has been in the detemiination of surface geometries. Figure Bl.22.6 shows... 

To make a clearer connection to the molecular dynamics, this expression can be transfomied to the time domain. In this picture, which was initially developed by Heller and co-workers [132,133], the absorption spectrum is given by the expression... 

A di awback is that the evaluation scheme for modeling the course of chemical reactions, as set up by the initial developer, is difficult to change as any alteration might have unexpected consequences for other types of reactions. Thus, it is a beautiful edifice that has basically not been changed since the early Nineties. 

Wet Oxidation Reactor Design. Several types of reactor designs have been employed for wet oxidation processes. Zimpro, the largest manufacturer of wet oxidation systems, typically uses a tower reactor system. The reactor is a bubble tower where air is introduced at the bottom to achieve plug flow with controlled back-mixing. Residence time is typically under one hour. A horizontal, stirred tank reactor system, known as the Wetox process, was initially developed by Barber-Cohnan, and is also offered by Zimpro. 

Applications. Among the P—O- and P—N-substituted polymers, the fluoroalkoxy- and aryloxy-substituted polymers have so far shown the greatest commercial promise (14—16). Both poly[bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phosphazene] [27290-40-0] and poly(diphenoxyphosphazene) [28212-48-8] are microcrystalline, thermoplastic polymers. However, when the substituent symmetry is dismpted with a randomly placed second substituent of different length, the polymers become amorphous and serve as good elastomers. Following initial development of the fluorophosphazene elastomers by the Firestone Tire and Rubber Co., both the fluoroalkoxy (EYPEL-F) and aryloxy (EYPEL-A) elastomers were manufactured by the Ethyl Corp. in the United States from the mid-1980s until 1993 (see ELASTOLffiRS,SYNTHETic-PHOSPHAZENEs).

New efficient vulcanization systems have been introduced in the market based on quaternary ammonium salts initially developed in Italy (29—33) and later adopted in Japan (34) to vulcanize epoxy/carboxyl cure sites. They have been found effective in chlorine containing ACM dual cure site with carboxyl monomer (43). This accelerator system together with a retarder (or scorch inhibitor) based on stearic acid (43) and/or guanidine (29—33) can eliminate post-curing. More recently (47,48), in the United States a proprietary vulcanization package based on zinc diethyldithiocarbamate [14324-55-1]...

Preparation of the Media Various sohd materials have been used to prepare the media. In the initial development of the process, a suspension of sand and also mixtures of barite and clay were used for separating coal from slate. Galena (lead sulfide mineral) was also used... 

A toller may need to use resources outside their company to measure physical properties, conduct safety or other testing, engineer changes to piping or other facilities and equipment. This need frequently occurs for products in the initial development or commercialization stage. The toller should maintain confidentiality agreements with their suppliers and subcontractors commensurate with the proprietary nature of their client companies processes. Provision to allow disclosure of information to third parties should be addressed in the contract between the toller and the client. It may be structured so that the client must approve the toller s release of information to third parties. 

The butadiene-acrylonitrile rubbers were first prepared about 1930 about five years after the initial development of free-radical-initiated emulsion polymerisation. Commercial production commenced in Germany in 1937, with the product being known as Buna N. By the late 1980s there were about 350 grades marketed by some 20 producers and by the early 1990s world production was of the order of 250000 tonnes per annum, thus classifying it as a major special purpose rubber. 

Other companies interested in thermoplastic polyamide rubbers have been Dow (following on work by Upjohn) and Akzo, whose initial development grades have been trade marked Ametal. 

Whilst initial development was primarily in the fields of fibres and rubbers, the presence of polyurethanes at about sixth position in the production league tables is largely due to the widespread use of foam materials. By 1980 global consumption was of the order of 3 X 10 tonnes per annum. 

Because LEED theory was initially developed for close packed clean metal surfaces, these are the most reliably determined surface structures, often leading to 7 p factors below 0.1, which is of the order of the agreement between two experimental sets of 7-V curves. In these circumstances the error bars for the atomic coordinates are as small as 0.01 A, when the total energy range of 7-V curves is large enough (>1500 eV). A good overview of state-of-the-art LEED determinations of the structures of clean metal surfaces, and further references, can be found in two recent articles by Heinz et al. [2.272, 2.273]. 

The initial development of a cellular structure from an originally flat interface has been at least partially understood [130]. Let us look only at the large-wavelength A limit (for more details see [122]). In the numerical calculations it was found [123] that for fixed cell-spacing A at increasing velocity a tail instability occurs. A side branch in the groove between two... 

MLC++ was initially developed at Stanford University (Kohavi, R., Sommerfield, D. and Dougherty, J.) and was publie domain. The new version 2.0 is freely distributed by Silieon Graph-ies, Ine. 

The early history of ionic liquid research was dominated by their application as electrochemical solvents. One of the first recognized uses of ionic liquids was as a solvent system for the room-temperature electrodeposition of aluminium [1]. In addition, much of the initial development of ionic liquids was focused on their use as electrolytes for battery and capacitor applications. Electrochemical studies in the ionic liquids have until recently been dominated by work in the room-temperature haloaluminate molten salts. This work has been extensively reviewed [2-9]. Development of non-haloaluminate ionic liquids over the past ten years has resulted in an explosion of research in these systems. However, recent reviews have provided only a cursory look at the application of these new ionic liquids as electrochemical solvents [10, 11]. 

The most promising fuel cell for transportation purposes was initially developed in the 1960s and is called the proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Compared with the PAFC, it has much greater power density state-of-the-art PEMFC stacks can produce in excess of 1 kWA. It is also potentially less expensive and, because it uses a thin solid polymer electrolyte sheet, it has relatively few sealing and corrosion issues and no problems associated tvith electrolyte dilution by the product water. 

One energy source that first appeared to be highly attractive was nuclear power. The problem with nuclear power is that some costs were hidden in its initial development. Especially pernicious is the disposal of uranium oxide fuel after it has become depleted. It can be reprocessed, but at considerable expense, and the product plutonium can be used for weapons. In the United States the plan is to bui y... 

The development of positive displacement downhole motors began in the late 1950s. The initial development was the result of a United States patent filed by W. Clark in 1957. This downhole motor was based on the original work of a French engineer, Rene Monineau, and is classified as a helimotor. The motor is actuated by drilling mud pumped from the surface. There are two other types of positive displacement motors that have been used, or are at present in use today the vane motor and the reciprocating motor. However, by far the most widely used positive displacement motor is the helimotor [79,83]. 

After their initial development in the USA, fusion bonded epoxy coatings (FBE) are now factory-applied worldwide. Their specification as the first choice alternative to enamel coatings is still contested, although important... 

A number of material suppliers offer information on their products on electronic devices (floppy discs, CDs, etc.) for use on personal computers. An important one, called Campus, is a database concept started by four German material manufacturers who use a uniform software. This database, initially developed jointly by BASF, Bayer, Hoechst, and Hulls, provided for other manufacturers to join. The present consortium has more than 50 materials suppliers worldwide. It is given in the form of diskettes in German, English, French, Italian, or Spanish. Each diskette contains the uniform test and evaluation program and the range of the respective material producers. It runs on IBM-compatible personal computers under the MS-DOS operating system.

Preliminary assessment of the mentee s learning and development needs. Creating an initial development plan will be one of the most invaluable types of data with regard to matching mentors and mentees. Data regarding the mentee s development needs could initially be collated from, for example, the mentee s self-assessment and/or the assessment of his or her immediate supervisor or manager.
