The coefficients ArS are Franck-Condon-type factors for an irregular system they can be taken as random numbers multiplied by a Gaussian function with spectral width AE centered around the mean excitation energy. 

From the viewpoint of measurement, if one were able to prepare a single trajectory as the initial state of an irregular system, then the subsequent measurement of any property, other than energy, would show continual variation with time. The trajectory would, in addition, display no tendency to return to the original state over any finite time. If one prepared an ensemble of trajectories, it would approach a long-time stationary distribution dependent solely on energy. 

The levels of a GOE ensemble (and hence those of irregular systems) have a NNSD distribution very close to the Wigner one. Notice that while the Poisson distribution is maximal at S = 0 (no level repulsion), the Wigner distribution vanishes at S = 0 (there is level repulsion). An intermediate behavior can be described in different ways. Considering also a non-linear repulsion, P2 S) oc S , Brod3 ° computed the distribution...

In fact, even in the solar system, despite the relative strengths of planetary attraction, there are constituents, the asteroids, with very irregular, chaotic behaviour. The issue of chaotic motion in molecules is an issue that will appear later with great salience.)... 

The technique just described requires the porous medium to be sealed in a cell, so It cannot be used with pellets of irregular shape or granular material. For such materials an alternative technique Introduced by Eberly [64] is attractive. In Eberly s method the porous pellets or granules are packed into a tube through which the carrier gas flows steadily. A sharp pulse of tracer gas is then injected at the entry to the tube, and Its transit time through the tube and spreading at the exit are observed. A "chromatographic" system of this sort is very attractive to the experimenter,... 

A system of mutually impinging spherulites develop into an array of irregular polyhedra, the dimensions of which can be as large as a centimeter or so. 

Primers for Metal. If reasonably high performance is required ia the end product and unless cost is of paramount importance, a minimum of two coats, usually a primer and a top coat, should be appHed to metal. For highest performance, primer vehicles should provide good wet adhesion, be saponification resistant, and have low viscosity to permit penetration of the vehicle iato microsurface irregularities ia the substrate. Color, color retention, exterior durabiHty, and other such properties are generally not important ia primers. Resia systems such as those including bisphenol A epoxy resias which provide superior wet adhesion can thus be used ia spite of their poor exterior durabiHty. 

Polymerization System. This elastomer is prepared by emulsion polymerisation, similar to that used for SBR, but generally carried out to virtually 100% conversion. As for SBR, the chain irregularity leads to a noncrystallising mbber, so that this polymer requires carbon black reinforcement for strength.
