The four elements, fire, air, earth and water, as distinguished by Aristotle, had the character of fundamental properties which provided matter with the diversity of its manifestations. The alchemists attached to each of these elements and to the additional properties which they distinguished a representative material which, according to them, exhibited the quality in question in the pure form thus sulphur represented the principle of fire and mercury the metallic principle (fusible, lustre).

As a general rule, when dissimilar metals are used in contact with each other and are exposed to an electrically conducting solution, combinations of metals that are as close as possible in the galvanic series should be chosen. Coupling two widely separated metals generally will produce an accelerated attack of the more active metal. Principles of electrode kinetics can be used to understand galvanic corrosion, as exemplified below. 

For a treatment of these experimental demonstrations of the tj es and relative proportions of metallic principles, see William R. Newman, Alchemy, Assaying, and Experiment, in Instruments and Experimentation in the History of Chemistry, ed. Frederic L. Holmes and Trevor H. Levere (Cambridge, MA MIT Press, 2000), pp. 35-54, especially pp. 46-49. For Geber s corpuscular explanations of assaying, see Newman, Pseudo-Geber, pp. 769-776.

For alchemists, mercury was important as substance and as principle. The purport of the metallic principle was just mercury and its mobility made it especially suitable for transformations. The experiments made in order to transform mercury and sulfur to gold are innumerable. Much attention was given to the mineral cinnabar, consisting of mercury and sulfur.

Human Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals Principles and Applications... 

Once the life-cycle inventory has been quantified, we can attempt to characterize and assess the eflfects of the environmental emissions in a life-cycle impact analysis. While the life-cycle inventory can, in principle at least, be readily assessed, the resulting impact is far from straightforward to assess. Environmental impacts are usually not directly comparable. For example, how do we compare the production of a kilogram of heavy metal sludge waste with the production of a ton of contaminated aqueous waste A comparision of two life cycles is required to pick the preferred life cycle.

In this work, a microwave interferometric method and apparatus for vibration measurements is described. The principle of operation is based on measurement of the phase of reflected electromagnetic wave changing due to vibration. The most important features of the method are as follows simultaneous measurement of tlie magnitude and frequency of the rotating object high measurement accuracy weak influence of the roll diameter, shape and distance to the object under test. Besides, tlie reflecting surface can be either metallic or non-metallic. Some technical characteristics are given. 

The new instrument introduced for inspection of multi-layer structures from polymeric and composite metals and materials in air-space industry and this is acoustic flaw detector AD-64M. The principle of its operation based on impedance and free vibration methods with further spectral processing of the obtained signal. 

An important application of the HMT is the test for ferrous inclusions in high pressure turbine disks made from a non-magnetic metal alloy. On principle, such ferrous inclusions can be introduced during the manufacturing process and, if present, they can be the origin of cracks in these most critical parts. Therefore such tests are stringent necessary. 

As on previous occasions, the reader is reminded that no very extensive coverage of the literature is possible in a textbook such as this one and that the emphasis is primarily on principles and their illustration. Several monographs are available for more detailed information (see General References). Useful reviews are on future directions and anunonia synthesis [2], surface analysis [3], surface mechanisms [4], dynamics of surface reactions [5], single-crystal versus actual catalysts [6], oscillatory kinetics [7], fractals [8], surface electrochemistry [9], particle size effects [10], and supported metals [11, 12].
