Internal objectives

The Ugly-Duckling theorem thus loosely states that there can never be an internally objective way to ascribe a measure of similarity (or dissimilarity) between any two randomly chosen subsets of a given set. In other words, an asymmetry can be induced only via some nec essarily external sense of esthetics. ... 

Each individual state chart effectively specifies how every action on the primary type affects that one specification type. In contrast, a complete action specification defines how one action on the primary type affects any specification type member. The composition of all change dates transitions, on ary and all specification types, constitutes change dates operation specification for the scheduler. Do not confuse this state chart view with internal design, when we will actually decide internal interactions between objects within the scheduler, the primary types whose behavior we describe will be these internal objects. 

The receiving objects must themselves be designed, so they then pass messages to other objects. The result is that many of the component s internal objects now have their own specified actions.

It is because of the adapters) that we can always begin the object refinement by assuming that the appropriate internal object will be involved in the external actions. We leave it up to the adapter design. 

Assign each system-level action to an internal object. In another part of the development (see Pattern 16.4, Separating Facades), the task of interfacing our component to its neighbors was delegated to a subcomponent. We can make some assumptions about how we will design the facade. 

This is a company internal objective that is also driven by external factors, between which social pressure and legislation from one side and market competiveness driven by innovation from the other side are the driving elements. Owing to global competiveness, the effectiveness of these driving forces to foster innovation is related to the capacity to introduce in the product value elements that account for how the product (and related chain of production) impact on the environment, as well risks, are minimized. Chapter 5 discusses these aspects and the modalities to quantify sustainability of chemical production.

Could the first view be correct That is, could appearance properties be properties of internal, mental entities of some sort 1 think we can see that the answer is no by reflecting on the transparency of visual awareness. Visual awareness is transparent in the sense that the only objects that are presented to us in visual awareness are external, physical objects. We are not aware of internal objects of any kind. Now, this implies that any properties we are aware of in visual experience must be properties of external objects. Since we are not aware of any internal objects, we could not be aware of any properties of internal objects unless we were aware of them without being aware of them as characterizing objects, that is, as instantiated. It seems absurd to say that visual experience presents us with properties that are floating free of all objects, as mere possibilities of instantiation. Thus, transparency provides us with a reason to say that appearance properties, and therefore qualia, are properties of external objects. 

Process complexity is not limited only to development processes, since industrial processes also are impacted by the requirements that are to be fulfilled by products as well as company internal objectives such as target zero defect, lean, green and compliant manufacturing [84]. Besides, innovation leads, for instance, to applying new processes and materials, which may imply a higher degree of complexity like in smart factories.

Because of their diversity and complexity as well as the gradual internationalization of the different standards, it has proven necessary to standardize the methods of sample preservation, handling, fractionation, and analysis throughout the chain of separation and treatment. All these stages are the object of precise protocols established by official national and international organizations. They describe in as minute detail as possible the procedures employed not only for each analysis but very often giving different procedures for the same analysis in different matrices. These are the standards or standardized methods discussed in Chapter 7.

The systems of such type have been developed of all last 10 years. We shall bring some characteristics of one of the last development within the framework of European BRITE project, carried out in LETT This 3D cone-beam tomograph is referred to as EVA Bench or Equipment for Voludensimetry Analysis. It is oriented on NDT of industrial products from ceramics and other composites. One of the main task of this tomograph is achievement of high resolution at study of whole internal volume of researched object. For test sample of the size 10mm spatial resolution in 50mm was obtained [14]. 

Laminographical approaches can be used for layer-by-layer visualization of the internal microstructure for the flat objects (multilayers, PCBs etc.), that caimot be reconstructed by computerized tomography because of the limited possibilities in rotation. Depth and lateral spatial resolutions are limited by the tube, camera and rotation accuracy. Microfocus X-ray tubes and digital registration techniques with static cameras allow improving resolution. Precision object manipulations and more effective distortion corrections can do further improvement. 

One more significant aspect of modem microscopy is the quantitative interpretation of the images in terms of the microstmcture of the object. Although most microscopes include or can be combined with powerful image processing systems, the interpretation of the contrast is still the main problem. On the other hand, reliable micromorpbological information could be easily obtained from a set of thin flat cross sections which reveal only density information, from which case accurate two- and three-dimensional numerical parameters of the internal microstmcture could be calculated. 

Considering existing microscopical techniques, one can find that non-destmctive information from the internal stmcture of an object in natural conditions can be obtained by transmission X-ray microscopy. Combination of X-ray transmission technique with tomographical reconstmction allows getting three-dimensional information about the internal microstmcture [1-3]. In this case any internal area can be reconstmcted as a set of flat cross sections which can be used to analyze the two- and three-dimensional morphological parameters [4]. For X-ray methods the contrast in the images is a mixed combination of density and compositional information. In some cases the compositional information can be separated from the density information [5]. Recently there has been a... 

A first example of application of microtomography is taken from life sciences. Here X-ray microscopy and microtomography allows to reconstruct the internal three-dimensional microstructure without any preparation and sometimes even of living objects. Fig. la shows an X-ray transmission microscopical image of bone (femoral head). Several reconstructed cross-sections are shown in Fig.lb. Fig.lc shows the three-dimensional reconstruction of this bone. 

In the dense interstellar medium characteristic of sites of star fonuation, for example, scattering of visible/UV light by sub-micron-sized dust grains makes molecular clouds optically opaque and lowers their internal temperature to only a few tens of Kelvin. The thenual radiation from such objects therefore peaks in the FIR and only becomes optically thin at even longer wavelengths. Rotational motions of small molecules and rovibrational transitions of larger species and clusters thus provide, in many cases, the only or the most powerfiil probes of the dense, cold gas and dust of the interstellar medium.

For tire purjDoses of tliis review, a nanocrystal is defined as a crystalline solid, witli feature sizes less tlian 50 nm, recovered as a purified powder from a chemical syntliesis and subsequently dissolved as isolated particles in an appropriate solvent. In many ways, tliis definition shares many features witli tliat of colloids , defined broadly as a particle tliat has some linear dimension between 1 and 1000 nm [1] tire study of nanocrystals may be drought of as a new kind of colloid science [2]. Much of die early work on colloidal metal and semiconductor particles stemmed from die photophysics and applications to electrochemistry. (See, for example, die excellent review by Henglein [3].) However, the definition of a colloid does not include any specification of die internal stmcture of die particle. Therein lies die cmcial distinction in nanocrystals, die interior crystalline stmcture is of overwhelming importance. Nanocrystals must tmly be little solids (figure C2.17.1), widi internal stmctures equivalent (or nearly equivalent) to drat of bulk materials. This is a necessary condition if size-dependent studies of nanometre-sized objects are to offer any insight into die behaviour of bulk solids. 

Variations in the Force Due to Gravity. The mass of an object is the quantity of matter ia the object. It is a fundamental quantity that is fixed, and does not change with time, temperature, location, etc. The standard for mass is a platinum—iridium cylinder, called the International Kilogram, maintained at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, ia Snvres, France. The mass of this cylinder is 1 kg by definition (9). AH national mass standards are traceable to this artifact standard.
