Merit rating

In the near future, UV photodiodes made from polycrystalline wide band-gap semiconductors may fill the gap in the market. Although they have a lower sensitivity (photocurrent per area) they promise to have a better merit-rating in terms of photocurrent per sensor costs. The other major drawback of polycrystalline photodiodes, the risetime of micro- to milliseconds, is not relevant for household applications. Fuji Xerox Laboratories in Japan are developing visible-blind UV photodiodes made from polycrystalline GaN [12], while twlux AG in Berlin, Germany is developing visible-blind UV photodiodes made from polycrystalline titanium dioxide [13]. A prototype is shown in Fig. 5.45.

Remove barriers that rob people in management and in engineering of their right to pride of workmanship. This means, inter alia, abolishment of the annual or merit rating and of management by objective. 

The extensive work of Lubineau further demonstrated the merits of water with respect to the rates and selectivities of the Diels-Alder reaction. Since 1985 he has published a large number of articles dealirig mainly with dienes that were rendered water soluble through the temporary introduction of a... 

Note With the availability of modern circuit breakers with higher short-time ratings of 65 kA/80 kA/100 kA, it is now possible to use even larger transformers up to 2500 kVA, depending upon their other merits. 

In actual fact, both approaches have considerable merit, and it would appear that the two schools are describing the actual physical mechanism from two different points of view. Certainly, a steady-state condition exists in which the rate of heat generation does not exceed the rate of heat loss from the combustion zone. There are also purely dynamic conditions related to the creation of the same imbalance between heat generation and heat loss. These purely static and purely dynamic conditions can be considered as the end points for a whole range of combined static (i.e., minimum-pressure) and dynamic (depressurization) conditions by which termination can be achieved. L -termination is probably one of these intermediate conditions. 

Recently Tanabe and co-workers have found that several alcohols were smoothly and efficiently tosylated using tosyl chloride/triethylamine and a catalytic amount of trimethylamine hydrochloride as reagents.6 Compared with the traditional method using pyridine as solvent, this procedure has the merit of much higher reaction rates, and it avoids the side reaction in which the desired tosylate is converted into the corresponding chloride. 

So far we have established an estimate for the rate of convergence in a very simple problem. It is possible to obtain a similar result for this problem by means of several other methods that might be even much more simpler. However, the indisputable merit of the well-developed method of energy inequalities is its universal applicability it can be translated without essential changes to the multidimensional case, the case of variable coefficients, difference schemes for parabolic and hyperbolic equations and other situations. 

In proton-relaxation experiments, R, values are used extensively, whereas 7, values are more frequently reported for C relaxation measurements. Although there is no special merit in this preference for C 7, values, the pairwise additivity of relaxation contributions in proton-relaxation experiments is more clearly apparent for the relaxation rates. 

Although the use of phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) for manufacturing esters has the merits of a mild reaction condition and a relatively low cost [1], PTC has its limitations, such as the low reactivity of carboxylic ion by liquid-liquid PTC [2], a slow reaction rate by solid-liquid PTC, and the difflculty of reusing the catalyst by both techniques.
