An instability of the impulse MTS method for At slightly less than half the period of a normal mode is confirmed by an analytical study of a linear model problem [7]. For another analysis, see [2]. A special case of this model problem, which gives a more transparent description of the phenomenon, is as follows Consider a two-degree-of-freedom system with Hamiltonian p + 5P2 + + 4( 2 This models a system of two springs con-... 

Periodic oscillations have been observed as a morphological instability in several systems grown under various conditions [148]. The correspondence of the observed structures with results of theoretical modelling [139,149] is striking. 

As the main disadvantage of liquid membrane systems is the instability over a longer period of time, another approach would be to perform separation through a solid membrane [22]. Enantioselective polymer membranes typically consist of a nonse-lective porous support coated with a thin layer of an enantioselective polymer. This... 

Fig. 5 illustrates a peculiar kinetic phenomenon which occurs when an initially disordered alloy is first annealed at temperature T corresponding to area b in Fig. 1 and then quenched to the final temperature T into the spinodal instability area d antiphase boundaries "replicate , generating approximately periodic patterns. This phenomenon reflects the presence of critical, fastest growing concentration waves under the spinodal instability (the Calm waves ). Lowering of the temperature to T < T results in lowering of the minority concentration minimum ("c-well ) within APB, while the expelled solute atoms build the c-bank adjacent to the well . Due to the... 

We see from both equations 8.32 and 8.33 that the most unstable mode is the mode and that ai t) = 1 - 1/a is stable for 1 < a < 3 and ai t) = 0 is stable for 0 < a < 1. In other words, the diffusive coupling does not introduce any instability into the homogeneous system. The only instabilities present are those already present in the uncoupled local dynamics. A similar conclusion would be reached if we were to carry out the same analysis for period p solutions. The conclusion is that if the uncoupled sites are stable, so are the homogeneous states of the CML. Now what about inhomogeneous states ... 

For uniform and stable extrusion it is important to check periodically the drive system, the take-up device, and other equipment, and compare it to its original performance. If variations are excessive, all kinds of problems will develop in the extruded product. An elaborate process-control system can help, but it is best to improve stability in all facets of the extrusion line. Some examples of instabilities and problem areas include... 

Similar phenomena have also been observed in the combustion of composite propellants. Eisel (El) has observed that there is a unique frequency-pressure relation in a low-pressure region where nonacoustic instability results. He speculates that this preferred frequency is related to the periodic appearance and depletion of the aluminum particles on the propellant surface. High-speed pictures confirm the periodic sluffing of aluminum, but its relation to the preferred frequency is still not clear. 

The dramatic dynamics of the flame-shape change shown in Figure 5.3.1, along with its proposed relationship to the flame instability and flame-generated flow, has periodically sparked an interest in its study. Before reviewing this flame-shape transition phenomenon, it will be useful to trace the history of the "tulip" name and distinguish this particular flame shape from the myriad of others with which it is often equated or confused. 

Intermediates are intermediate structures in going from the starting material to the prodnct. They do not live for very long, and it is rare that you can isolate one and store it in a bottle, but they do exist for very short periods of time. Their structures are often critical in understanding the next step of the reaction. Going back to the analogy, if I saw the picture of you without your hat on, and I knew how cold it was on that mountain, then I would have been able to predict that you put on a hat right after the picture was taken. I would have known this because I would have been able to immediately identify an uncomfortable situation, and I could have predicted what resolution must have taken place to alleviate the problem. The same is true of intermediates. If we can look at an intermediate and determine which part of the intermediate is unstable, and we also know what options are available to alleviate the instability, then we can predict the products of the reaction based on an analysis of the intermediate. That s why they are so important.
