Review of the process prompted by analyst or operator concerns should involve the analyst, the supervisor, and possibly a specialist. This review may be able to distinguish among possible causes in chemical analysis such as matrix difference, method instability, bad reagents, or analyst error. In radiation detection, source problems, detector malfunction, and data analysis must be distinguished. The discussion should focus on what the analyst or operator remembers about the measurement series in question, in contrast to records for similar analyses this should help determine when the problem was first observed and the differences in the process since then. 

Since the drop volume method involves creation of surface, it is frequently used as a dynamic technique to study adsorption processes occurring over intervals of seconds to minutes. A commercial instrument delivers computer-controlled drops over intervals from 0.5 sec to several hours [38, 39]. Accurate determination of the surface tension is limited to drop times of a second or greater due to hydrodynamic instabilities on the liquid bridge between the detaching and residing drops [40],... 

W, g potential functions, k 1, has been discussed in various papers (see, for example, [6, 11, 9, 16, 3]). It has been pointed out that, for step-sizes /j > e = 1/ /k, the midpoint method can become unstable due to resonances [9, 16], i.e., for specific values of k. However, generic instabilities arise if the step-size k is chosen such that is not small [3, 6, 18], For systems with a rotational symmetry this has been shown rigorously in [6j. This effect is generic for highly oscillatory Hamiltonian systems, as argued for in [3] in terms of decoupling transformations and proved for a linear time varying system without symmetry. 

The purpose of this paper is twofold (i) We summarize possible difficulties with the midpoint method (other than resonance instability, which has been treated extensively elsewhere) by looking at a simple (molecular) model problem, (ii) We investigate the suitability of some energy conserving methods. 

This instability is avoided when applying the method (6), as proved in [6]. The latter method yields here... 

An instability of the impulse MTS method for At slightly less than half the period of a normal mode is confirmed by an analytical study of a linear model problem [7]. For another analysis, see [2]. A special case of this model problem, which gives a more transparent description of the phenomenon, is as follows Consider a two-degree-of-freedom system with Hamiltonian p + 5P2 + + 4( 2 This models a system of two springs con-... 

The isolation of enzymes in a pure state is frequently a matter of great difficulty owing to their instability, their low concentrations in plant and animal tissues, and also to their colloidal nature. The methods employed depend upon the physical and chemical nature of the enzyme in question. In the following experiments, no attempt has been made to isolate enzymes in a high slate of purity. 

Further details of the BB, sometimes referred to as Ladyzhenskaya-Babuska-Brezi (LBB) condition and its importance in the numerical solution of incompressible flow equations can be found in textbooks dealing with the theoretical aspects of the finite element method (e.g. see Reddy, 1986), In practice, the instability (or checker-boarding) of pressure in the U-V-P method can be avoided using a variety of strategies. 

Owing to the instability of a-halogenoaldehydes it is occasionally preferable to use more stable derivatives, such as enol acetate prepared according to Bedoukian s method (204) and a-bromoacetals (4, 8, 10, 16, 22, 67, 101, 426). An advantage is said to be in the yield however, this appears to be slight. The derivatives react in the same sense as the aldehydes themselves, that is, the acetal group as the more polarized reacts first and enters the C-4 position. It is likely that the condensation and cyclization occur by direct displacement of alkoxide ions. Ethyl-a,/3-dihalogeno ethers (159, 164, 177, 248) have also been used in place of the free aldehydes in condensation with thioamides. 

Chemical conversion of compounds to intermediates of known absolute configuration is a method routinely used to determine absolute configuration (86). This is necessary because x-ray analysis is not always possible suitable crystals are required and deterrnination of the absolute configuration of many crystalline molecules caimot be done because of poor resolution. Such poor resolution is usually a function of either molecular instability or the complex nature of the molecule. For example, the relative configuration of the macroHde immunosuppressant FK-506 (105) (Fig. 8), which contains 14 stereocenters, was determined by x-ray crystallographic studies. However, the absolute configuration could only be elucidated by chemical degradation and isolation of L-pipecoUc acid (110) (80). 

Although 1,2-benzisothiazoles can be prepared by the oxidation method, they are also available by cyclization of o-mercaptobenzaldoximes and ketoximes with polyphosphoric acid (72AHC 14)43, 73JCS(P1)356, 77JCS(P2)1114). This method has been improved by the use of S-t- butyl analogues, which do not suffer from the instability of the free thiols (79SST 5)345). 

The X-ray microanalysis is the basic method of study of rare-metal and rare-earth minerals of micron size. The multi-component composition, instability of minerals under the electron beam, overlap of X-ray characteristic lines, absence of reference samples of adequate composition present difficulties in the research of mineral composition. 

In most cases, artificial destratification is carried out throughout the summer. However, work in the Lund Tubes in Blelham Tarn suggests that intermittent destratification could provide further enhancement to this method of control by creating an unstable environment. This instability causes disruption of growth patterns of the algal community and, consequently, no species becomes dominant. 

The seleetion of the eontrol IC is very important. If the wrong ehoiee is made, it eould result in supply instability and waste valuable time. The designer should understand the subtle differenee between the various forms of eontrol. In general, forward-mode topologies usually have voltage-mode eontrollers, and boost-mode topologies usually have eurrent-mode eontrol. This is not a roek-solid rule sinee every method of eontrol ean be used for every topology, with mixed results. 

Sewage becomes offensive due to its own instability together with the objectionable concentration of suspended materials. In addition, the potential presence of disease producing organisms makes sewage dangerous. Removal or stabilization of sewage matters may be accomplished in treatment works by a number of different methods or by a suitable combination of these methods. 

It has also been shown, using visual illustrative methods, that accumulation can occur in the wake of people or objects, provided that the contaminants are emitted in the vortex region. Special consideration must be taken with instabilities and vortices generated by the working person. Vortices can also occur in empty open unidirectional airflow benches. 

As a final note, be aware that Hartree-Fock calculations performed with small basis sets are many times more prone to finding unstable SCF solutions than are larger calculations. Sometimes this is a result of spin contamination in other cases, the neglect of electron correlation is at the root. The same molecular system may or may not lead to an instability when it is modeled with a larger basis set or a more accurate method such as Density Functional Theory. Nevertheless, wavefunctions should still be checked for stability with the SCF=Stable option. ...
