O Equation (60.10) states that both J and B must be perpendicular to VP. This means that J and B must lie on a surface with no components perpendicular to it. Then, the question arises What can the shape of the surface to which the J and B are bound be. The answer is a consequence of the Poincare-Hopf theorem, namely, that the surface must have the form of a topological torus, where the field lines lie on nested surfaces, and there are no field lines connecting one surface with the other. 

Three analogous but theme-specific conceptual schemas have been constructed, with systems which have several nested sub-systems (Meijer et al., 2005). Relevant mi-crostractures at different meso-levels can be assigned to appropriate scales. In such conceptual schemas, structure can be defined as the distribution over space of the components in a system. Physical building blocks of such a system are regions that are bounded by a closed surface (Walstra, 2003), where at least some of the properties within such regions are different from those in the rest of the system. 

The presence of methylenic bands shifted at higher frequency in the very early stages of the polymerization reaction has also been reported by Nishimura and Thomas [114]. A few years later, Spoto et al. [30,77] reported an ethylene polymerization study on a Cr/silicalite, the aluminum-free ZSM-5 molecular sieve. This system is characterized by localized nests of hydroxyls [26,27,115], which can act as grafting centers for chromium ions, thus showing a definite propensity for the formation of mononuclear chromium species. In these samples two types of chromium are present those located in the internal nests and those located on the external surface. Besides the doublet at 2920-2850 cm two additional broad bands at 2931 and 2860 cm are observed. Even in this favorable case no evidence of CH3 groups was obtained [30,77]. The first doublet is assigned to the CH2 stretching mode of the chains formed on the external surface of the zeolite. The bands at 2931 and... 

A complete list of the reaction conditions tested for this response surface design can be found in [76], The center point reaction condition was repeated six times. This was done to measure the variability of the reaction system. Also, the space velocity is kept constant, as it was the least important factor predicted by screening design, for all the reaction conditions. The purpose of this nested response surface design was to develop an empirical model in the form of Eqn (5) to relate the five reaction condition variables and the three catalyst composition variables to the observed catalytic performance.

If a searching wasp very probably identifies suitable ant nests by odor, it is much less clear how she senses from the surface which suitable nests actually contain caterpillars. After all, the caterpillars have successfully disguised themselves by carrying an odor the ants accept as that of their own larvae. Is the wasp able to discern tiny differences between ant and caterpillar odors that the ants themselves fail to detect Even if she is capable of this, it seems incredible that she could do so from outside the nest, where...
