Obstacle force

Although there are a number of interesting features of this analysis, it also leaves us with serious concerns about the formulation of an elastic theory of the obstacle forces that impede dislocation motion. In particular, this analysis suggests that for an obstacle on the slip plane itself, there is no interaction with the dislocation. Despite this elastic perspective, it seems certain that core effects will amend this conclusion. 

Although the external shear stress on this so-called secondary slip plane or cross slip plane is smaller than on the primary one, moving along this path can be easier than trying to overcome the obstacle by cutting or the Orowan mechanism. This is the case if the effective shear stress t (see section 6.2.9) on the secondary slip plane is larger than on the primary one due to the absence of the obstacle force. Because screw dislocations can use this additional mechanism, they are frequently able to overcome obstacles more easily than edge dislocations. 

Introducing impermeable lamellar fillers with high aspect ratio in the polymer matrix is another method to enhance barrier properties [46-51]. A tortuous path is created in the polymer matrix due to the presence of the impermeable silicate layers. The impermeable obstacles force the gas permeant to travel a longer path to penetrate through the film and, consequently, the permeability decreases. Permeability is the product of diffusion and solubility. The kinetic aspect of... 

The task force must be capable of identifying pollution reduc tion alternatives as well as be cognizant of inherent obstacles to the process. Barriers frequently arise from the anxiety associated with the belief that the program will negatively affect produc t quality or result in production losses. According to an EPA survey, 30 percent of indus-tiy comments responded that they were concerned that product qualify would decline if waste minimization techniques were implemented (Ref. 6). As such, the assessment team, and the team leader in particular, must be ready to react to these and other concerns (Ref. 2fy... 

Building Downwash A review must be conducted for each stack to determine if building downwash effec ts need to be considered. Atmospheric flow is disrupted by aerodynamic forces in the immediate vicinity of structures or terrain obstacles. The disrupted flow near either building structures or terrain obstacles can both enhance the vertical dispersion of emissions from the source and reduce the effective height of the emissions from the source, resulting in an increase in the maximum GLC. 

Fuel-pair mixtures, in soap bubbles ranging from 4 to 40 cm diameter and with no internal obstacles, produced flame speeds very close to laminar flame speeds. Cylindrical bubbles of various aspect ratios produced even lower flame speeds. For example, maximum flame speeds for ethylene of 4.2 m/s and 5.5 m/s were found in cylindrical and hemispherical bubbles, respectively (Table 4.1a). This phenomenon is attributed to reduced driving forces due to the top relief of combustion products. 

In polymer science and technology, linear, branched and crosslinked structures are usually distinguished. For crosslinked polymers, insolubility and lack of fusibility are considered as characteristic properties. However, insoluble polymers are not necessarily covalently crosslinked because insolubility and infusibility may be also caused by extremely high molecular masses, strong inter-molecular interaction via secondary valency forces or by the lack of suitable solvents. For a long time, insolubility was the major obstacle for characterization of crosslinked polymers because it excluded analytical methods applicable to linear and branched macromolecules. In particular, the most important structural characteristic of crosslinked polymers, the crosslink density, could mostly be determined by indirect metho ds only [ 1 ], or was expressed relatively by the fraction of crosslinking monomers used in the synthesis. 

This would be evidenced by an increase on the pressure gauge. In most cases the swab or pig will progress past the interuption and regain its normal progression. However, if it did not, and the pressure continued to rise without fluctuation, the hydraulic pressure should be allowed to drop and then the pipeline re-pressurized in an attempt to force the pig past the obstacle. In the worst case, where the pig or swab became lodged, it would be necessary to reverse the flow by applying hydraulic pressure on the egress end of the pipeline. 

As if this were a signal that some obstacle within you has been removed, the telepathic mind-waves of the Companions impact upon you with greater force and dynamism. In response to this new level of concerted consciousness, your aura flares, then expands to embrace and interpenetrate the aura-fields of the two Companions who flank you. Their auras, in turn, encompass and interpenetrate you. Then the three, embrace the six, who embrace the twelve, until all seated at the table enter into an energetic unity of at-one-ment. 

To me, the political and ideological forces that drive official policies have become tragic obstacles to a rational discussion of chemical weapons, even the gentler forms. Congressional and public opinion continues to be opposed to any form of chemical weaponry. Thus, it may be a long time before we witness another attempt to use non-lethal chemical weapons, even against the most lethal of enemies. This is not necessarily good news. 

Reactive intermediates are species of fleeting existence which appear during the course of chemical reactions. Because they determine the outcome of a reaction, understanding their properties is inextricably linked to our knowledge of chemical transformations. Their ephemeral existence has been a major obstacle to their study and the driving force for the development of specialized techniques.
