Nonuniformity parameters

These corrosion parameters have to be modified for time- and place-related reaction velocities [6]. Different local removal rates are in general due to differences in composition or nonuniform surface films, where both thermodynamic and... 

The usual alignment algorithm fixes 0 and A as 0o and Aq, so that the prior is 1 when 0 = 00 and A = Aq and is 0 otherwise. Clearly, if experience justifies this choice or some other nonuniform choice, we can choose an informative prior that biases the calculation to certain values for the parameters or limits them to some likely range. The likelihood is well defined by the alignment model defined by using a similarity matrix and affine gap penalties, so that... 

The thermal parameters for comfort should be relatively uniform both spatially and temporally. Variations in heat flow from the body make the physiological temperature regulation more difficult. Nonuniform thermal conditions can lead to nonuniform skin temperatures. The active elements of the regulatory system may need to make more adjustments and work harder in order to keep thermal skin and body temperatures stable. To avoid discomfort from environmental nonuniformities, the temperature difference between feet and head should be less than about 3 °C (Fig. 5.9) and the mean surface temperature or radiant difference from one side of the body to the other should not he greater then about 10 °C. 

The EMSA requires the degree of dimerization A as an input parameter. This is quite disappointing. However, it ehminates the deficiency of the Percus-Yevick approximation, Eq. (38). The EMSA represents a simpHfied version, to obtain an analytic solution, of a more sophisticated site-site extended mean spherical approximation (SSEMSA) [67-69]. The results of the aforementioned closures can be used as an input for subsequent calculations of the structure of nonuniform associating fluids. 

Generally, a variety of mechanical deformation processes cause the nonuniform deformation that results in the formation of residual stresses. This nonhomogeneous deformation in a material is produced by the material s parameters, largely its process parameters such as the tool geometry and frictional characteristics. For example, the rolling of a strip can be accomplished by using relatively cold squeeze rolls. In the rolling process, parameters with a small roll diameter and little reduction produce deformation penetration that is shallow and close to the surface, whereas the interior of the strip remains almost undeformed. After the removal of the deformation forces and a complete... 

Gr/v Re = 9.6) without causing recirculation, and thus nonuniform surface flux. Since the disk temperature is fixed in this simulation, a smaller value of the mixed-convection parameter corresponds to a larger value of the disk spin rate. 

Some of the components of the EDL, such as a nonuniform electron distribution in the metal s surface layer and the layer of oriented dipolar solvent molecules in the solution surface layer adjacent to the electrode, depend on external parameters (potential, electrolyte concentration, etc.) to only a minor extent. Usually, the contribution of these layers is regarded as constant, and it is only in individual cases that we must take into account any change in these surface potentials, and which occurs as a result of changes in the experimental conditions. 

Axial heat flux parameter Y The parameter Y, which replaces the heat flux shape factor in the CHF correlation, is not only a measure of the nonuniformity of the axial heat flux profile but also a means of converting from the inlet subcooling (AHin) to the local quality, X, form of the correlation via the heat balance equation. It is defined as... 

Basic box models cannot portray effects of nonuniform source patterns. If, for particular chemical species or particular source classes, the dependence of emissions on population density or other identifiable parameters is apparent and significant, we have used modifications to the box modeling approach. As an example, it might be assumed in modeling products of combustion of the lighter fuel oil distillates that source distribution patterns are proportional to population density patterns, because most of such fuel is burned in residential furnaces in cold weather cities.
