Observation process management modeling

The solution to this problem consists in the application of numerical solutions when diagenetic processes are modeled. Such numerical solutions always divide the continuum of reaction space and reaction time into discrete cells and discrete time intervals. If one divides up the continuum of space and time to a sufficient degree into discrete cells and time steps (which is not the decisive problem with the possibilities given by today s computers), one will be able to apply much simpler and better manageable conditions within the corresponding cells, and with regard to the expansion of a time interval, so that, in their entirety, they still will describe a complex system. Thus, it is possible, for example, to apply the two-step-procedure (Schulz and Reardon 1983), in which the individual observation of physical transport (advection, dispersion, diffusion) or any geochemical multiple component reaction is made feasible within one interval of time.

In spectroscopy we may distinguish two types of process, adiabatic and vertical. Adiabatic excitation energies are by definition thermodynamic ones, and they are usually further defined to refer to at 0° K. In practice, at least for electronic spectroscopy, one is more likely to observe vertical processes, because of the Franck-Condon principle. The simplest principle for understandings solvation effects on vertical electronic transitions is the two-response-time model in which the solvent is assumed to have a fast response time associated with electronic polarization and a slow response time associated with translational, librational, and vibrational motions of the nuclei.92 One assumes that electronic excitation is slow compared with electronic response but fast compared with nuclear response. The latter assumption is quite reasonable, but the former is questionable since the time scale of electronic excitation is quite comparable to solvent electronic polarization (consider, e.g., the excitation of a 4.5 eV n — n carbonyl transition in a solvent whose frequency response is centered at 10 eV the corresponding time scales are 10 15 s and 2 x 10 15 s respectively). A theory that takes account of the similarity of these time scales would be very difficult, involving explicit electron correlation between the solute and the macroscopic solvent. One can, however, treat the limit where the solvent electronic response is fast compared to solute electronic transitions this is called the direct reaction field (DRF). 49,93 The accurate answer must lie somewhere between the SCRF and DRF limits 94 nevertheless one can obtain very useful results with a two-time-scale version of the more manageable SCRF limit, as illustrated by a very successful recent treatment... 

One central issue in tiibology is why static friction is so universally observed between solid objects. How does any pair of macroscopic objects, placed in contact at any position and orientation, manage to lock together in a local free energy minimum A second issue is why experimental values of Fj and tend to be closely correlated. The two reflect fundamentally different processes and their behavior is qualitatively different in many of the simple models described below. 

Workers will respond to risks not on the basis of their absolute disutility, as in an expected utility model, but in relation to more-or-less fixed standards. These standards therefore take on the function of social norms, patterns of judgment and behavior that, to an outside observer, may appear to refiect identical preferences on the part of each individual, but which, at least in this analysis, simply arise spontaneously in the process of rational collective action. In particular, these norms tend to be comparative rather than absolute, and they depend to some extent on perceptions of intent. The normative selection of risks to be regarded as actionable strengthens the bright line aspect of solutions to the assurance game, while the perception by workers that a risk is deliberately imposed on them by management increases the likelihood that it will be resisted. 

At the heart of CORIE are three integrated components (Fig. 3) a real-time observation system (Section III), a modeling system (Section IV), and an information management and visualization system (Section V). These three systems combine to automatically generate an array of pri-maiy products, including time-sensitive displays of sensor data and of computer forecasts, which are often openly distributed through the World Wide Web (henceforth, web). Data from sensors and models are also processed in customized fashion, either on- or off-line, for particular scientific, management, or operational applications (Section VI).
