Modeling capabilities

We have presented in this paper the modelling capabilities of the CIVA system. Two main connected softwares, Champ-Sons and Mephisto, allow the prediction of A, B, or Cscans obtained in many conventional and less conventional testing configurations.

PEM (Pollution Episodic Model) is an urban scale air pollution model capable of predicting short-term average surface concentrations and deposition fluxes of two gaseous or particulate pollutants. 

The various copolymerization models that appear in the literature (terminal, penultimate, complex dissociation, complex participation, etc.) should not be considered as alternative descriptions. They are approximations made through necessity to reduce complexity. They should, at best, be considered as a subset of some overall scheme for copolymerization. Any unified theory, if such is possible, would have to take into account all of the factors mentioned above. The models used to describe copolymerization reaction mechanisms arc normally chosen to be the simplest possible model capable of explaining a given set of experimental data. They do not necessarily provide, nor are they meant to be, a complete description of the mechanism. Much of the impetus for model development and drive for understanding of the mechanism of copolymerization conies from the need to predict composition and rates. Developments in models have followed the development and application of analytical techniques that demonstrate the inadequacy of an earlier model. 

The orientational relaxation, considered in Chapters 6 and 7, is a more complex problem. The impact theory is the only model capable of tracing the transition from quasi-free rotation in the rare gas to... 

The possibility that the climatic future might feature a change in frequency of weather extremes underscores the desirability for climate models capable of predicting the future spectrum of prevailing circulation patterns. Weather extremes such as drought or excessive cold are the products of certain persistent (blocking) planetary wave patterns. In fact, it is reasonable to assume that past climatic... 

The interaction between particle and surface and the interaction among atoms in the particle are modeled by the Leimard-Jones potential [26]. The parameters of the Leimard-Jones potential are set as follows pp = 0.86 eV, o-pp =2.27 A, eps = 0.43 eV, o-ps=3.0 A. The Tersoff potential [27], a classical model capable of describing a wide range of silicon structure, is employed for the interaction between silicon atoms of the surface. The particle prepared by annealing simulation from 5,000 K to 50 K, is composed of 864 atoms with cohesive energy of 5.77 eV/atom and diameter of 24 A. The silicon surface consists of 45,760 silicon atoms. The crystal orientations of [ 100], [010], [001 ] are set asx,y,z coordinate axes, respectively. So there are 40 atom layers in the z direction with a thickness of 54.3 A. Before collision, the whole system undergoes a relaxation of 5,000 fsat300 K. 

The resulting data of the Box-Behnken design were used to formulate a statistically significant empirical model capable of relating the extent of sugar 3deld to the four factors. A commonly used empirical model for response surface analysis is a quadratic polynomial of the type... 

The treatment of mixing of immiscible fluids starts with a description of breakup and coalescence in homogeneous flows. Classical concepts are briefly reviewed and special attention is given to recent advances—satellite formation and self-similarity. A general model, capable of handling breakup and coalescence while taking into account stretching distributions and satellite formation, is described.

Post-Audit Analyses are the ultimate tests of a model s predictive capabilities. Model predictions for a proposed alternative are compared to field observations following implementation of the alternatives. The degree to which agreement is obtained based upon the acceptance criteria reflects on both the model capabilities and the assumptions made by the user to represent the proposed altenative. Unfortunately, post-audit analyses have been performed in few situations. 

For an aquatic model of chemical fate and transport, the input loadings associated with both point and nonpoint sources must be considered. Point loads from industrial or municipal discharges can show significant daily, weekly, or seasonal fluctuations. Nonpoint loads determined either from data or nonpoint loading models are so highly variable that significant errors are likely. In all these cases, errors in input to a model (in conjunction with output errors, discussed below) must be considered in order to provide a valid assessment of model capabilities through the validation process. 

System Representation Errors. System representation errors refer to differences in the processes and the time and space scales represented in the model, versus those that determine the response of the natural system. In essence, these errors are the major ones of concern when one asks "How good is the model ". Whenever comparing model output with observed data in an attempt to evaluate model capabilities, the analyst must have an understanding of the major natural processes, and human impacts, that influence the observed data. Differences between model output and observed data can then be analyzed in light of the limitations of the model algorithm used to represent a particularly critical process, and to insure that all such critical processes are modeled to some appropriate level of detail. For example, a... 

Polymer production technology involves a diversity of products produced from even a single monomer. Polymerizations are carried out in a variety of reactor types batch, semi-batch and continuous flow stirred tank or tubular reactors. However, very few commercial or fundamental polymer or latex properties can be measured on-line. Therefore, if one aims to develop and apply control strategies to achieve desired polymer (or latex) property trajectories under such a variety of conditions, it is important to have a valid mechanistic model capable of predicting at least the major effects of the process variables.

Absorption and clearance are two of the fundamental parameters that determine oral bioavailability. There are many in vitro methods to assess the absorption and metabolic potential of a given molecule, and it can be argued that a combination of these data should produce a model capable of predicting oral bioavailability. Such a model, based on a graphical approach has recently been published [26].

Such an experimental characterization is a necessary step to carry out a detailed comparison of emission properties as measured experimentally with the corresponding quantities as calculated by numerical models capable of describing transport and energy deposition of fast electrons in matter and consequent emission of characteristic X-ray emission. A possible modeling approach of fast electron transport experiments is given here, where the above results on Ka imaging were interpreted using the hybrid code PETRA [53] to...
