MONK method

The modem production of champagne is not so far removed from that empirically developed by the Benedictine monk Dom Pierre Perignon in the late seventeenth century. This method is also used outside... 

Two years later Nash and Monk (20) also measured conductances at 25°C using aqueous acetone (12.5 wt % water) as the solvent. For KD they obtained values of 1 X 10 3 and 6 X 10 3 for lithium bromide and hydrogen bromide, respectively, by the Davies (21) method and 101.1 Q 1 cm2 eq-1 and 117.1Q-1 cm2 eq-1 for A0 for lithium bromide and hydrogen bromide, respectively, by the Fuoss method. 

During the twenty years, he wrote in 1267, that I have spent in the study of wisdom after abandoning conventional methods, I have spent more than 2000 libra on secret books and various experiments, and on languages and instruments and astronomical tables, etc. The Paris libra was about one third of a pound sterling a considerable sum in his time for the Franciscan monk.

Whether the art originated, as some historians repeat, with ancient Chinese Monks forbidden to corry weopons, or, os more popularly believed, with the physically inferior Japanese as a means of overcoming their natural handicop in bodily encounters, it hos long been recognized as a potent method of attack and defense.

It appears that by the eleventh century considerable pains were being taken to purify copper used in making brass for ornamental purposes. Brass containing lead was difficult to gild, so the removal of this element was important. Rugerus Theophilusf, a monk who lived in the earlier years of the eleventh century, described in detail a method for doing this. The copper was heated in a clay-lined iron dish under charcoal until it melted the liquid was then stirred with a dry stick to which the lead scum adhered. 

Many different techniques can be used to measure activity coefficients of electrolytic solutes, many of which are electrochemical. Most of these methods are reviewed in standard references (e.g., Harned and Owen, 1958 Monk, 1961 Robinson and Stokes, 1968, Ch. 8). Solutions of geological interest can span considerable temperature ranges, and it has often proven simplest experimentally to measure the activity of the... 

James and Monk (loc. dt.) also measured the conductance of potassium cobalticyanide and an extrapolation by the method used in problem 95 gives for the equivalent conductance at infinite dilution...

The philosophical use of urine has much in common with the methods of eastern monks. Initiates learn to manufacture a medicine from their own urine over a period of nearly 6 months. 

The 2-D studies of the compression of dispersions of sterically stabilized particles have all been carried out using a surface balance. This method was pioneered by Doroszkowski and coworkers (Doroszkowski and Monk, 1969 Doroszkowski and Lamboume, 1971 1973) at the oil/water interface. Subsequently, it was extended by Garvey et al. (1979) to encompass the air/water (2 M NaCl) interface. An automatic surface balance suitable for such studies has been described by Doroszkowski and Monk (1969). 

The Monte Carlo method is a suitable way of obtaining values of P j which, when associated with estimates of M j, can be used to assess the criticality of an array. A version of MONK known as BLACK MONK has been written which calculates the collision probabilities, P,y, of neutrons arising from each source region in turn, having a first collision with each of the other units. The collision probability matrix is then multiplied by the surface multiplications, and Eq. (44) is solved for X. 

In the case of an interacting array of identical units, MONK will automatically calculate the number of unit lattice cells which form a critical assembly from the results of a calculation relating to one unit cell. This is made possible since all that is required are the numbers of neutrons entering and leaving each face of the unit cell, and these are stored during the boundary tracking. This method is known as the PQR method (14).

The method of calculation used here is a generalization to three regions (water, metal, graphite) of the scheme used by R. F. Christy and A. P. Monk...
