The ability of a GC column to theoretically separate a multitude of components is normally defined by the capacity of the column. Component boiling point will be an initial property that determines relative component retention. Superimposed on this primary consideration is then the phase selectivity, which allows solutes of similar boiling point or volatility to be differentiated. In GC X GC, capacity is now defined in terms of the separation space available (11). As shown below, this space is an area determined by (a) the time of the modulation period (defined further below), which corresponds to an elution property on the second column, and (b) the elution time on the first column. In the normal experiment, the fast elution on the second column is conducted almost instantaneously, so will be essentially carried out under isothermal conditions, although the oven is temperature programmed. Thus, compounds will have an approximately constant peak width in the first dimension, but their widths in the second dimension will depend on how long they take to elute on the second column (isothermal conditions mean that later-eluting peaks on 2D are broader). In addition, peaks will have a variance (distribution) in each dimension depending on...

Diaikanol aminoalkyl phenols as admixtures enhance the strength [675]. The additives are useful in very small amounts and do not affect the initial properties of the fluid. The strength additive does not cause set acceleration or early set strength enhancement but provides enhanced compressive strength of the cement in later stages. Addition of small amounts of potassium ferricyanide and nitrile-trimethyl phosphonic acid promotes the formation of complex compounds and thus increases the strength of cement rock [1771]. 

The thermochemical evaluation of the reactants is the place to start, as discussed in Chapter 2. If the potential energy release is 250 cal/g of substance (1000 J/g) or more, it is necessary to determine initiation properties, such as a sensitivity to impact and friction. Thermochemical evaluation of reaction...

Impregnating a basic colloidal suspension (pH = 12) on alumina does not induce proton liberation, thus the pH is constant (Fig. 13.25b). The system keeps its initial properties, i.e. negative charges for alumina support and PdO particles. Repulsive interactions are created between the alumina surface and the PdO particles so that the particles deposited on the support are redispersed, and finally isolated from each other. 

This leads to the question of who should be considered the ultimate discoverer of a chemical element Should it be the first person to describe the initial properties, the one who found the oxide or the metal, the one who separated the element or the first one to publish their results On the matter of publication, the Swedish chemist Jons Jacob Berzelius published an annual review (equivalent to our present abstract service) during the early nineteenth century. Berzelius usually cited articles published in other journals, but he also reported on the work in his laboratory which had not yet been published. This enabled his assistant Carl-Gustav Mosander to receive early credit for work that Mosander chose not to formally publish until many years later after he had worked out all of the details. In the element review, we shall see that the answer to the above questions would be any of the above criteria could qualify for discovery of particular elements. 

The release of pressurized gas to the atmosphere and its dispersion can be described in three stages jet mixing, momentum effects of wind or air currents, and natural diffusion. While the initial properties of the gas at the time of release (e.g. temperature, pressure, density) define the first stage, they have little influence on the second and third stage. The energy associated with the release of a pressurized gas creates a "jet mixing" effect that causes the gas to be diluted in air. Gas releases can rapidly form explosive clouds depending on the rate of release. 

Adhesives based on hydrolysis resistant chemistry (i.e., adhesives D and E) show a high retention of initial properties after exposure to an aggressive corrosion environment and the failure occurs cohesively within the adhesive. The cure reactions of these adhesives involve the formation of hydrolysis resistant carbon-nitrogen bonds in reactions involving the free N-H functionality of the Versamid or Genamid hardener with the oxirane functionality of the epoxy resin that is present in the adhesive formulation ... 

By complexation with various components of the natural subsurface solution, the initial properties of a toxic molecule can be changed. These transformations involve adsorption on the subsurface solid phase, transport into the saturated or partially saturated zone, and contaminant half-life in the subsurface environment. 

DNBF (68) readily forms stable Meisenheimer complexes (71) with numerous oxygen and nitrogen nucleophiles and some of these are primary explosives with useful initiating properties. 

Nitrotetrazole is readily prepared from the diazotization of 5-aminotetrazole in the presence of excess sodium nitrite and is best isolated as the copper salt complex with ethylenediamine. The salts of 5-nitrotetrazole have attracted interest for their initiating properties. The mercury salt is a detonating primary explosive. The amine salts of 5-nitrotetrazole are reported to form useful eutectics with ammonium nitrate. ... 

Aziridine. Propellants cured with MAPO have excellent processing characteristics and satisfactory uniaxial tensile properties over a wide range of temperatures. However, the problems associated with the aging behavior of these propellants have led to the use of other types of curing systems which do not contain the P—N bond. These latter materials are di- and trifunctional aziridines, such as those shown in Table IV, and provide satisfactory propellants in which the uniaxial tensile properties can be tailored to a desired modulus. Such mixed aziridine-cured systems give satisfactory initial properties, reduce the postcure behavior, and improve the storage characteristics of CTPB propellants.
