Moments precautions with

An important consequence of the presence of the metal surface is the so-called infrared selection rule. If the metal is a good conductor the electric field parallel to the surface is screened out and hence it is only the p-component (normal to the surface) of the external field that is able to excite vibrational modes. In other words, it is only possible to excite a vibrational mode that has a nonvanishing component of its dynamical dipole moment normal to the surface. This has the important implication that one can obtain information by infrared spectroscopy about the orientation of a molecule and definitely decide if a mode has its dynamical dipole moment parallel with the surface (and hence is undetectable in the infrared spectra) or not. This strong polarization dependence must also be considered if one wishes to use Eq. (1) as an independent way of determining ft. It is necessary to put a polarizer in the incident beam and use optically passive components (which means polycrystalline windows and mirror optics) to avoid serious errors. With these precautions we have obtained pretty good agreement for the value of n determined from Eq. (1) and by independent means as will be discussed in section 3.2. [Pg.3]

One can view samples from an explosion scene as belonging to one of two work streams (i) clean and (ii) dirty. Separation between these work streams needs to be established at the earliest possible moment in the process with appropriate laboratory facilities to handle each. The clean work stream contains items which are to be examined for invisible chemical traces of explosives. Such items need protection from any external contamination to a degree commensurate with the sensitivity of the chemical analysis techniques to be employed. The dirty work stream contains items that do not require trace analysis precautions, e.g., scene debris for physical searching. Nonetheless, such items still need to be handled in a way which protects their evidential integrity. Some items can start in the clean stream and then be transferred to the dirty stream, e.g., damaged motor vehicles may first be examined for explosive traces, and then transferred out of the trace examination area to be searched for physical evidence. [Pg.231]

Water is also included in the table to make one point— the solvent that we are all most familiar with is a poor candidate from both engineering and safety standpoint. The critical temperature and pressure are among the highest for common solvents. Ammonia is very unpleasant to work with since a fume hood or other venting precautions are needed to keep it out of the laboratory atmosphere. One of the alternative fluids of potential interest is nitrous oxide. It is attractive since it has molecular weight and critical parameters similar to carbon dioxide, yet has a permanent dipole moment and is a better solvent than carbon dioxide for many solutes. There are evidences of violent explosive reactions of nitrous oxide in contact with oils and fats. For this reason, nitrous oxide should be used with great care and is not suitable as a general purpose extraction fluid. [Pg.16]

How can we relate these macroscopic quantities to the microscopic parameters of molecules such as polarizability or a dipole moment With some precautions, the polarization of an isotropic liquid may be found as a sum of the field induced molecular dipole moments whose number coincides with the amount of dipolar molecules in the unit volume = pNJM (p is mass density, A a is Avogadro number, M is molecular mass) ... [Pg.158]

Torque transducer units are available that contain strain-gauged sections of shaft that can be fitted in line with the mixer shaft. They must be suitably isolated from any bending moments and axial loads (Figure 4-9). They are generally subject to the same calibration and care during use precautions as are sensitive strain gauges (Chappie et al., 2002). [Pg.163]

For plants which by design have more than the minimum number of redundancies built in or available (multi-unit sites), it can be safe enough and reasonable to perform planned maintenance with the plant in normal operation. Work will have to be carefully planned and prepared, and carried out with special safety evaluations and precautions applied. This approach to maintenance is clearly safer than performing unplanned corrective maintenance at a moment dictated by a component failure or problem. Unplanned corrective maintenance is very often done with little or no planning... [Pg.21]

However for the moment the model will assume that accident causation and prevention is entirely within the control of the railroad. One justification is that railroads can and do affect the precautions taken by shippers. The AAR has conducted research and published manuals of rules and advice on loading all types of cars since at least the 1930s. Typical freight contracts specify that shippers must comply with these loading standards. Improper loading would be cause for the railroad to refuse to accept a shipment, albeit that the precautions taken by a shipper are difficult to determine when the load is shipped in a container or truck trailer. [Pg.95]
