Integrated systems conclusions

As we peer into the next decade we come to the conclusion that the changes in physical distribution of chemicals will be characterized by integration, systemization, and acceleration. 

In conclusion, the scope of what can be done for the project and engineering organization by advanced computer systems is truly wonderful, but the prudent user needs to treat all such systems critically. Utilize only those which are rigorously specified, tested on real applications (by real project people), not over-ambitious, and manifestly will pay their way in terms of a conservative business plan. There are definite cut-off points in project size and complexity below which it is not economical to operate fully integrated systems. Systems application below this threshold should not be attempted unless there are other non-economic factors such as a client who requires them (usually, for interface into overall plant information management systems). 

In conclusion, both the integrated systems proposed by these authors show the feasibility of integrating a PEM fuel cell with an MR or purifier as well. From one side, the stable performance, shown by the PEM fuel cell in the integrated configuration, confirms the reliability of the systems. From the other side, even though these latter can be considered in perspective as an... 

Schrodinger s equation has solutions characterized by three quantum numbers only, whereas electron spin appears naturally as a solution of Dirac s relativistic equation. As a consequence it is often stated that spin is a relativistic effect. However, the fact that half-integral angular momentum states, predicted by the ladder-operator method, are compatible with non-relativistic systems, refutes this conclusion. The non-appearance of electron... 

There is no theoretical ground for this conclusion, which is a purely empirical result based on a variety of experimental measurements. However, it seems to apply everywhere and to represent a law of Nature, stating that systems consisting of more than one particle of half-integral spin are always represented by anti-symmetric wave functions. It is noted that if the space function is symmetrical, the spin function must be anti-symmetrical to give an anti-symmetrical product. When each of the three symmetrical states is combined with the anti-symmetrical space function this produces what is... 

We note that the integral over the energetically allowed phase space— that is, the classical level density (97)—was found in Fig. 20 to be in excellent agreement with the quantum-mechanical level density. This finding indicates that there is a valid correspondence between the quantum-mechanical two-state system and its classical mapping representation. A similar conclusion was drawn in a recent smdy of a mapped two-state problem, which focused on the Lyapunov exponents and the energy level statistics of the system [124, 235]. 

Analogous theoretical calculations on conjugated systems involving heteroatoms are more difficult, because more numerous assumptions about the unknown Coulomb integrals and resonance integrals are needed. Conclusions about the relative basicity of two conjugated sites obtained from such calculations are therefore necessarily more tentative. 

As can be seen, the enthalpies of different apoxy-amine systems, according to different authors, lie in a rather narrow range (100-118 kJ per mole of epoxy groups, i.e. close to the heat of the epoxy ring opening). These data confirm the above conclusion as to the small total contribution of the donor-acceptor interactions in the epoxyamine systems to the observed integrated value of the heat release and the possibility of the application of the isothermal calorimetry method to the reaction kinetic studies.
