Experimentally, it is these invariants (equation (B 1.3.17), equation (B 1.3.18) and equation (B 1.3.19)) that can be obtained by scattering intensity measurements, though clearly not by measuring the total cross-section only. 

The scattered intensity measured from the isotropic three-dimensional object can be transfonned to the onedimensional mtensity fiinction/j(<3 ) by means of the Lorentz correction [15]... 

The S/N of any light intensity measurement varies as tire square root of tire intensity (number of photons) produced by tire source during tire time of tire measurement. The intensities typical of xenon arc lamps are sufficient for measurements of reasonable S/N on time scales longer tlian about a microsecond. However, a cw lamp will... 

As a result of these considerations, the primary difference between a spectrophotometer and a light-scattering photometer is the fact that the photodetector is mounted on an arm which pivots at the sample so that intensity measurements can be made at various angles. 

Accurate intensity measurements have been made in many cases and calculations of r — r" made, including the effects of anharmonicity and even allowing for breakdown of the Bom-Oppenheimer approximation. 

The rapid development of microelectronics has enabled many similar measurements to be made with data collecting systems and then stored electronically. The raw data can then be downloaded to the data processing installation, where they can be plotted and evaluated at any time [1]. This applies particularly to monitoring measurements on pipelines for intensive measurements, see Section 3.7. Figure 3-1 shows an example of a computer-aided data storage system. 

The second term of Eq. (3-28) is very prone to errors because the factor AU ff includes electrode errors (see Section 3.2). For small values of AU ff, Eq. (3-28) is not applicable in practice [2]. Applications are described in Section 3.7 along with intensive measurement. 

Figure 3-28 shows, as an example, results obtained from an intensive measurement of a short section of pipe which could be very strongly polarized to increase the sensitivity of defect location. From Eq. (3-51 a) Tq = 4 mm at = 0.1 V. In the results in Fig. 3-29, rg = 9 cm at AU = 0.1 V. These results are clear indications of water traps resulting from a poor coating [46]. Further examples are shown in Section 3.7.

In intensive measurement, the following quantities are measured at short intervals on the pipeline ...

The evaluation of At/ values together with off potentials are aids in deciding whether coating damage should be repaired. In addition, by comparison with previous results, intensive measurements indicate whether new coating defects have arisen. These could be the result of external foreign forces on the pipeline. 

The use of microelectronics for obtaining measurements and evaluating them is rational for intensive measurements with about 1000 values per kilometer [53]. The additions according to Eqs. (3-63) and (3-66) are performed with a pocket calculator using the correct sign, and read off by the engineer. 

Equipment has been developed that records measured values in steps of 2.5 mV through a digital converter connected to it, analyzes them and transmits them to a hard disk. The measured values can be fed to a central computer and further analyzed and plotted. This system can be used for intensive measurements and also for monitoring measurements, and offers the following possibilities listing... 

The cathodic protection of pipelines is best monitored by an intensive measurement technique according to Section 3.7, by an off potential survey eveiy 3 years and by remote monitoring of pipe/soil potentials. After installation of parallel pipelines, it can be ascertained by intensive measurements whether new damage of the pipe coating has occurred. These measurements provide evidence of possible external actions that can cause mechanical damage. 

XRD offers unparalleled accuracy in the measurement of atomic spacings and is the technique of choice for determining strain states in thin films. XRD is noncontact and nondestructive, which makes it ideal for in situ studies. The intensities measured with XRD can provide quantitative, accurate information on the atomic arrangements at interfaces (e.g., in multilayers). Materials composed of any element can be successfully studied with XRD, but XRD is most sensitive to high-Z elements, since the diffracted intensity from these is much lar r than from low-Z elements. As a consequence, the sensitivity of XRD depends on the material of interest. With lab-based equipment, surface sensitivities down to a thickness of -50 A are achievable, but synchrotron radiation (because of its higher intensity)... 

A final practical note involves instrument intensity measurement calibrations. The intensity measurement is self-calibrating relative to the incident beam from the source. However, measurements typically have a dynamic range of 10 -10 , and care must be taken to insure the detection system is linear. A method of calibrating the scatterometer is to characterize a diffuse reflector having a known scattering characteristic. For example, a surface coated with BaS04 makes a nearly Lambertian scatterer, which has a BRDF of 1/Jt at all angles.

Contributions in this section are important because they provide structural information (geometries, dipole moments, and rotational constants) of individual tautomers in the gas phase. The molecular structure and tautomer equilibrium of 1,2,3-triazole (20) has been determined by MW spectroscopy [88ACSA(A)500].This case is paradigmatic since it illustrates one of the limitations of this technique the sensitivity depends on the dipole moment and compounds without a permanent dipole are invisible for MW. In the case of 1,2,3-triazole, the dipole moments are 4.38 and 0.218 D for 20b and 20a, respectively. Hence the signals for 20a are very weak. Nevertheless, the relative abundance of the tautomers, estimated from intensity measurements, is 20b/20a 1 1000 at room temperature. The structural refinement of 20a was carried out based upon the electron diffraction data (Section V,D,4). 

After 1986, the CAFE and appliance standards in place resulted in stock turnovers to more efficient automobiles and appliances. However, the decline in energy consumption per dollar of GDP slowed appreciably and, between 1986 and 1997, the energy intensity trend remained rather flat. Other forces in the U.S. economy were pushing energy consumption higher, resulting in increases in the energy-intensity measure.
