Note on notations

Note on notation Relations from breakup, coalescence, fragmentation, and aggregation are based on either actual experiments or numerical simulations, the latter commonly referred to as computer experiments. Computer experiments are often based on crude simplifying assumptions and actual experiments are always subject to errors the strict use of the equality sign in many of the final results may therefore be misleading. In order to accurately represent the uncertainty associated with the results, the following notation is adopted ... 

Note on Notation Although any symbol may be used to represent any variable, having a consistent notation can aid understanding. In this text, we will generally use m for mass, m for mass flow rate, n for moles, h for molar flow rate, V for volume, and V for volumetric flow rate. Also, we will use x for component fractions (mass or mole) in liquid streams and y for fractions in gas streams.

This section presents the mathematical description of the NMR data sets and reviews some of the preprocessing and data manipulations that are employed to improve the performance of the subsequent chemometric analysis. Descriptions of the different chemometric methods involve the use of matrices, vectors and scalars, such that a brief note on the notation used in the subsequent sections is warranted. Throughout this... 

Before continuing, we pause for a remark on notation. Our discussion uses a basis of zero-order states that are eigenftmctions of a Hamiltonian given by a sum of the molecular Hamiltonian in the Bom-Oppenheimer approximation and the Hamiltonian of the radiation field. As noted above, for linear spectroscopy problem we can limit ourselves to the 0- and 1-photon states of the latter. We will use...

Fig. 1. CO/ethene-based PK-E. Note Applied notation for perfectly alternating CO/a-olefin polyketones PK-MiM2-re, in which Mi and M2 are abbreviations for the types of a-olefins incorporated in the co- or terpolymer chain [eg M = ethene (E), propene (P), butene (B), pentene (P), hexene (H), octene (0), decene (D), dodecene (Do), tetradecene (Td), hexadecene (Hd), octadecene (Od), icosene (Ic), and styrene (S)] and n, the molar monomer index n = [100 x [M2]/([Mi] + [M2])], is the percentage of M2 (in mol%) on the total amount of a-olefin incorporated in the polymer backbone. For example, PK-E represents a copolymer build up of CO and ethene, while PK-EP-6 represents a terpolymer build up of CO, ethene, and propene in a molar ratio of 100 94 6.

The tonal distance between two adjacent keys may be a whole step, as it is between A and B, or it can be a half step, such as between E and F (see the next section, Chords and Intervals, for more information). The key can also be modified by sharps and flats. Flats (b) are a half step lower and sharps ( ) are a half step higher. It may be easiest to think of the black notes on the keyboard as the sharp and flat notes. Therefore, a song could be in the key of B or a half step lower, in the key of Bb. The key of Bb can also be accurately described as the key of A. You can see that there is no black note between B and C. While it is not incorrect to talk about B or Cb, it is often easier to refer to B as C, since they are equivalent notations. 

The General MIDI standard was created so that generic Standard MIDI Files created on a sequencer or notation application may be played back on another device while preserving the integrity of the original selection. Another part of this standard is a separate set of percussion instrument sonnds, usually assigned to Channel 10. This is a special instrument (patch), since each note on the keyboard may he assigned to a different instrument (for example, C= snare, D = woodblock, E = cymbal). 

A note on index notation is in order for those unfamiliar with its use. Index notation is used to shorten the transport equations that are presented above. Each index (shown as a subscript) can represent one of the three Cartesian directions or one of the chemical components. The index that appears on both sides of the equation in all or most terms is the equation index. If it is x, the equation is a balance for quantities in the x-direction if it is 1, the equation is for chemical component 1. The indices that appear only on one side of the equation in occasional terms are running indices and take on each of the three values x, y, and z or each of the component values 1,2,3,... such that the term in which they appear will have several forms that are additive. In the case of component values, indices of product components may not be equal. To illustrate use of the...

As a device for describing the effect of temperature on solution nonideality, it is entirely suitable to think of Eq. (8.115) as offering an alternate notation which accomplishes the desired effect with p and as adjustable parameters. We note, however, that the left-hand side of Eq. (8.115) contains only one such parameter, x, while the right-hand side contains two p and . Does this additional parameter have any physical significance ... 

All notations fit those in the previous subsection. Some arguments are required to explain in which sense boundary conditions (5.215) hold. This will be done later on. Note that conditions (5.215) will be contained in an integral identity. 

Based on the above three areas of potential concern, a plethora of waste reduction ac tivities can be performed at home or in an office environment. One can easily note the similarities between these activities and those pollution-prevention activities performed in industry. The following few exampes are identified by categoiy according to this notation (Ref. 21) ... 

Tinkler and Metzner (1961) executed a large number of computations for simultaneous equations by approximate and exact methods and presented their results on numerous graphs. One of those is shown in Figure 1.6.1. Please note that on this figure the parameter is e=y P De/at in the notation of this book, and the abscissa = is the Thiele modulus. 

If only one set of polarization functions is used, an alternative notation in terms of is also widely used. The 6-31G=i basis is identical to 6-31G(d), and b-SlG ts is identical to 6-31G(d,p). A special note should be made for the 3-21G basis. The 3-21G basis is basiciy too small to support polarization functions (it becomes unbalanced). However, the 3-21G basis by itself performs poorly for hypervalent molecules, such as sulfoxides and sulfones. This can be substantially improved by adding a set of d-functions. The 3-2IG basis has only d-functions on second row elements (it is sometimes denoted 3-21G(=f=) to indicate this), and should not be considered a polarized basis. Rather, the addition of a set of d-functions should be considered an ad hoc repair of a known flaw. 

Note carefully that the same random variable (function) may have many different distribution functions depending on the distribution function of the underlying function X(t). We will avoid confusion on this point by adopting the convention that, in any one problem, and unless an explicit statement to the contrary is made, all random variables are to be used in conjunction with a time function X(t) whose distribution function is to be the same in all expressions in which it appears. With this convention, the notation F is just as unambiguous as the more cumbersome notation so that we are free to make use of whichever seems more appropriate in a given situation.
