Macro-motion

Standards International, Inc. has developed two specialized predetermined time systems MICRO Motion Analyses and MACRO Motion Analyses. MICRO Motion Analyses is used for precise methods specifications and time standards, while MACRO Motion Analyses is for general-purpose data. They were developed to provide improvements over MTM and Work-Factor with much input from several of Standards International s clientele. Specifically, MTM and Work-Factor systems were not found to be adequate for some special types of motions, which entailed describing these motions and assigning appropriate time values using the individual user s judgement. Also, some analysts found difficulty in using the tables. These systems have been proven to be valid in thousands of applications.

The overall coalescence rate of a dispersion/emulsion in a separator is the most important design criterion. Unfortunately, this rate is a product of several complex mechanisms like binary coalescence, interfacial coalescence, and set-tling/creaming. Each of these mechanisms is further related to other even more complex processes/factors like hydrodynamic micro- and macro-motion, droplet size distribution, and interfacial components. In order to understand the overall coalescence rate one must also understand the interactions between these mechanisms. This makes it difficult to separate the overall rate into a sum of distinct rates, and is probably the reason why there exists no generalized coalescence model for concentrated dispersions with a sound theoretical foundation. 

The overall superficial fluid velocity, mentioned earlier, should be proportional to the settling velocity o the sohds if that were the main mechanism for solid suspension. If this were the case, the requirement for power if the setthng velocity were doubled should be eight times. Experimentally, it is found that the increase in power is more nearly four times, so that some effect of the shear rate in macro-scale turbulence is effec tive in providing uphft and motion in the system. 

The use of computer simulations to study internal motions and thermodynamic properties is receiving increased attention. One important use of the method is to provide a more fundamental understanding of the molecular information contained in various kinds of experiments on these complex systems. In the first part of this paper we review recent work in our laboratory concerned with the use of computer simulations for the interpretation of experimental probes of molecular structure and dynamics of proteins and nucleic acids. The interplay between computer simulations and three experimental techniques is emphasized (1) nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation spectroscopy, (2) refinement of macro-molecular x-ray structures, and (3) vibrational spectroscopy. The treatment of solvent effects in biopolymer simulations is a difficult problem. It is not possible to study systematically the effect of solvent conditions, e.g. added salt concentration, on biopolymer properties by means of simulations alone. In the last part of the paper we review a more analytical approach we have developed to study polyelectrolyte properties of solvated biopolymers. The results are compared with computer simulations. 

The stress needed to move a dislocation line in a glassy medium is expected to be the amount needed to overcome the maximum barrier to the motion less a stress concentration factor that depends on the shape of the line. The macro-scopic behavior suggests that this factor is not large, so it will be assumed to be unity. The barrier is quasi-periodic where the quasi-period is the average mesh size, A of the glassy structure. The resistive stress, initially zero, rises with displacement to a maximum and then declines to zero. Since this happens at a dislocation line, the maximum lies at about A/4. The initial rise can be described by means of a shear modulus, G, which starts at its maximum value, G0, and then declines to zero at A/4. A simple function that describes this is, G = G0 cos (4jix/A) where x is the displacement of the dislocation line. The resistive force is then approximately G(x) A2, and the resistive energy, U, is ... 

Besides the logic aspect, the chemically induced behavior of complex 5-6 connects with other macro-scale experiences such as threading/deth-reading of a needle or piston motion in a cylinder. And so it turns out that the abacus will continue to be a particular inspiration for the design of controllable molecular motions for computational purposes. Complex 5-6 illuminates this path. 

Under the action of an applied acoustic field the suggestion was that there would be regions within the polymer where rotation (and vibration) of individual segments were able to take place freely, in phase with the rapid oscillatory movement of the solvent. This segmental movement (termed micro Brovmian motion) was in addition to the movement of the macromolecule as a whole (macro Brownian motion). However, in that segmental motion is a cooperative effect and depends upon the interaction... 

ESR resonation of the DNA. That s it. If you have followed it this far, the rest is easy. DNA is what you are. The physical form is just a lot of juicy macro-physical crystals caused by gene expression, you know, the result of enzymes set in motion and coded by DNA. Neural DNA is known to be non-metabolizing. It does not go away. The meat on your body comes and goes every few years. Your skeleton is not the same one you had five years ago, but neural DNA is an exception. It is there for all time. You come into the world with it. It records and it is an antenna for memory. Not only our personal memory, but any entity or organism which has DNA in it there is a way to find a connection to it. This is how we open a passage to the Divine Imagination, this is how William Blake understood Redemption. This is now within reach. 

Far below the glass transition temperature (T see Sect. 2.3.4.3) the macro-Brownian motions are frozen in completely, and most of the micro-Brownian motions are frozen in as well ( glassy state ). Near Tg, the micro-Brownian motions set in and become stronger with increasing temperature. The material softens. Finally, upon further raise of temperature, the macro-Brownian motions set in as well, and the polymer can be deformed by applying an external force. 

The rate of all these processes, of course, depends strongly on the temperature in the vicinity of Tg the polymer chains are still relatively inflexible. Thus deformation requires considerable forces, and recovery occurs very slowly. Well above Tg the melt deforms more easily, but the tendency to flow as a result of increased macro-Brownian motion is still outweighed by the elastic recovery. The temperature range for pronounced elastic behavior of the polymer melt depends... 

One may also note from Eq. (11) that the exponent of the Schmidt number is independent of the exponents of the macro- and microscales. In other words, the exponent of v/D should be the same for both laminar and turbulent flows. Experiment indeed indicates that the value of 1/3 for this exponent is valid for many laminar and turbulent flows along solid interfaces and that the value of 1/2 is valid for laminar and turbulent motions along fluid-fluid interfaces. It is interesting to note that there is a jump from 0.5 to 0.75 in the value of the bound of the exponent m with the transition from laminar to turbulent flow, a result which is in agreement with experimental observations [2],... 

The molecular movements of the chain determine the elastic range of polymers. In this unique state of rubber like elasticity there is freedom of the micro-Brownian motion of the chain units and a high relaxation time for the macro-Brownian motion of the entire chain. This state can be described as a liquid with a fixed structure U6). 

In aqueous food materials Tj and T2 relaxation behavior of water are related to different aspects of the interaction and motion of the water molecules. The relationship is not so simple, especially in heterogeneous food materials [63-65]. There are at least four types of protons to be considered, namely free (or bulk) water, bound (or hydrated) water, exchangeable macro-moleculc protons such as those found in hydroxyl and amino groups, and unexchangeable macromolecule protons. Under such circumstances measurement of Ti is more reliable than T2 measurement, but can be complicated by the spin diffusion, while T2 relaxation can be complicated by slow translational diffusion and proton exchanges. 

Taking into account the aforementioned effects of ice formation in porous materials, a macroscopic quintuple model within the framework of the Theory of Porous Media (TPM) for the numerical simulation of initial and boundary value problems of freezing and thawing processes in saturated porous materials will be investigated. The porous solid is made up of a granular or structured porous matrix (a = S) and ice (a = I), where it will be assumed that both phases have the same motion. Due to the different freezing points of water in the macro and micro pores, the liquid will be distinguished into bulk water ( a = L) in the macro pores and gel water (a = P, pore solution) in the micro pores. With exception of the gas phase (a = G), all constituents will be considered as incompressible.
