P is the mechanical power abstracted from the fixed volume (W) our sign convention means that P will be negative when mechanical power is added by a stirrer. 

We may apply equation (13.43) to the system, with the conditions that there is no inflow or outflow, and no mechanical power abstracted. Since speciflc internal energy is a function of temperature only, we may use equation (13.40) also to give ... 

The driving mechanism that abstracts the chlorine gas from the chlorinator is the chlorine injector. This injector is powered by water pressnre. As the water passes through... 

We may apply the energy equation (13.35) to the system. Since no mechanical power is abstracted from the device, we may set P = 0. Further, since the temperature in the reaction tube is the same as the inlet and the outlet temperatures, it follows that the inlet enthalpy of component i will equal the outlet enthalpy and the enthalpy inside the reaction tube ... 

Ada tasking provides a natural and powerful abstraction mechanism for decoupling application activities, including the functionality for sharing resources, communicating, and synchronizing. 

The stable free radical nitric oxide (NO) has an important role as a biological messenger. The reaction of NO with superoxide (O2 ) forms the powerful oxidant peroxynitrite (ONOO ), and a mechanism for the reaction of ONOO resulting in the abstraction of H from C—H bonds is shown (equations 109, 110). The formation of HO from the spontaneous decomposition of peroxynitrite, and of COJ radicals from CO2 catalyzed decomposition of peroxynitrite, have been demonstrated. ... 

Sadi Carnot (full name Nicolas Leonard Sadi Carnot, Sadi after a Persian poet) was bom into one of the most emdite and influential families of the turbulent Napoleonic period. Sadi s father, Lazare Carnot, was a leading scientist and mathematician of his time, as well as a noted military commander who achieved high ministerial office under Napoleon. The father s profound intellectual influence on Sadi is apparent from parallels between Lazare s 1803 treatise, Fundamental Principles of Equilibrium and Movement, and Sadi s famous 1824 monograph, Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire (Reflexions sur la puissance motrice du feu), which applied similarly general and abstract analysis to purely mechanical and thermomechanical devices, respectively. Among other accomplishments of this remarkable family, Sadi s younger brother, Hippolyte, became a noted writer and statesman, and the latter s eldest son, Marie Francois Sadi Carnot, later became a president of the Third Republic. 

ABSTRACT The acid-catalysed epimerization reaction of bioactive indole alkaloids and their derivatives is reviewed. The three mechanisms, which have been proposed for the (J-carboline-type indole alkaloids, are discussed. Through recent developments, evidence for all three mechanisms has been obtained, which shows the complexity of the epimerization reaction. The epimerization seems to depend on structural features and reaction conditions making it difficult to define one universal mechanism. On the other hand, the isomerization mechanism of oxindole alkaloids has been widely accepted. The acid-catalysed epimerization reaction provides a powerful tool in selectively manipulating the stereochemistry at the epimeric centre and it can also have a marked effect on the pharmacology of any epimerizable compound. Therefore, examples of this reaction in die total synthesis of indole alkaloids are given and pharmacological activities of some C-3 epimeric diastereomers are compared. Finally, literature examples of acid-catalysed epimerization reactions are presented. 

Provides abstracts of worldwide research on design and performance of mechanical draft and natural draft wet, dry, and dry-wet combination cooling towers. Abstracts cover studies on size reduction, corrosion protection, and economic optimization of cooling towers primarily used with nuclear power plants and fossil fuel power plants. Also covered are abstracts which pertain to cooling towers used in waste-water treatment. It contains 305 abstracts, 65 of which are new entries to the previous edition. 

While van t Hoff s view has become widely accepted in chemistry (and other sciences based on a molecular conception of matter, for example, molecular biology), Le Bel s abstract conception is closer to a quantum mechanical description of chemical phenomena in which molecular structure is understood as a powerful and illuminating metaphor1 that provides a route to the construction of the quantum states (wavefunc-tions) that actually describe chemical phenomena1 3,8. Although the difference between these interpretations of chemical formulae (in a sense what chemistry is about ) has not had much effect on the actual practice of experimental chemistry, the evolution of ideas... 

Abstract models are very powerful, but at the same time, the abstractness is their Achilles heel. Many people have problems operating on such a high level of abstraction and have difficulties grasping the concept. A middle ground where XML-based formats provide the scaffold for expressing the basics and RDF or other mechanisms are used to specify relations may provide more suitable practical applications.
