Fig. 33. Orthorhombic strain and occupancy order parameter as a function of oxygen nonstoichiometry. Extrapolation of the orthorhombic strain to zero gives the composition of the transition. The discontinuity of the order parameter indicates tiie first-order character of the transition. After Radaelli et al. (1992).

Because of the indistingiiishability of the electrons, the antisynnnetric component of any such orbital product must be fonned to obtain the proper mean-field wavefunction. To do so, one applies the so-called antisynnnetrizer operator [24] A= Y.p -lf p, where the pemuitation operator mns over all A pemuitations of the N electrons. Application of 4 to a product fiinction does not alter the occupancy of the fiinctions ( ). ] in it simply scrambles the order which the electrons occupy the ( ). ] and it causes the resultant fiinction...

To conclude, this sampling of the literature of risk perception, the comments of Covello, 1981 may be summarized. Surveys have been of small specialized groups - generally not representative of the population as a whole. There has been little attempt to analyze the effects of ethnicity, religion, sex, region age, occupation and other variables that may affect risk perception. People respond to surveys with the first thing that comes to mind and tend to stick to this answer. They provide an answer to any question asked even when they have no opinion, do not understand the question or have inconsistent beliefs. Surveys are influenced by the order of questions, speed of response, whether a verbal or numerical respon.se is required and by how the answer is posed. Few Studies have examined the relationships between perceptions of technological hazards and behavior which seems to be influenced by several factors such as positive identification with a leader, efficacy of social and action, physical proximity to arenas of social conflict. 

Congress passed the Occupational and Safety Health Act to ensure worker and workplace safety. Their goal was to make sure employers provide their workers a place of employment free from recognized hazards to safety and health, such as exposure to toxic chemicals, excessive noise levels, mechanical dangers, heat or cold stress, or unsanitary conditions. In order to establish standards for workplace health and safety, the Act also created the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as the research institution for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA is a division of the U.S. Department of Labor which oversees the administration of the Act and enforces Federal standards in all 50 states. 

A characteristic of many industrial halls is that zones of occupancy take up only a small portion of the room volume and height. In addition, the flows are normally buoyancy dominated. This results in a vertical temperature stratification that can be utilized for room air conditioning design in order to achieve effective climatization along with low energy consumption. 

The continuous recirculation and spraying results in dirty water building up in the sump. In order to reduce the incidence of infection to occupants and fouling of the nozzle, water treatment with biocides and softening of the water supply are required. The sump is complete with strainers in a position which allows easy access for cleaning. See Fig. 9.15. 

For exterior hoods, the measurement of capture velocity provides a quick check of the ideal design conditions. However, it must be remembered that capture velocity is not a direct measure of the ability of an exterior hood to provide personnel protection. Other efficiency measures are required in order to evaluate its performance in practice. The following two efficiency measurements could be useful capture efficiency and occupational hygiene efficiency. These measures complement each other.

Many of the spinel-type compounds mentioned above do not have the normal structure in which A are in tetrahedral sites (t) and B are in octahedral sites (o) instead they adopt the inverse spinel structure in which half the B cations occupy the tetrahedral sites whilst the other half of the B cations and all the A cations are distributed on the octahedral sites, i.e. (B)t[AB]o04. The occupancy of the octahedral sites may be random or ordered. Several factors influence whether a given spinel will adopt the normal or inverse structure, including (a) the relative sizes of A and B, (b) the Madelung constants for the normal and inverse structures, (c) ligand-field stabilization energies (p. 1131) of cations on tetrahedral and octahedral sites, and (d) polarization or covalency effects. ... 

Another aspect of wave function instability concerns symmetry breaking, i.e. the wave function has a lower symmetry than the nuclear framework. It occurs for example for the allyl radical with an ROHF type wave function. The nuclear geometry has C21, symmetry, but the Cay symmetric wave function corresponds to a (first-order) saddle point. The lowest energy ROHF solution has only Cj symmetry, and corresponds to a localized double bond and a localized electron (radical). Relaxing the double occupancy constraint, and allowing the wave function to become UHF, re-establish the correct Cay symmetry. Such symmetry breaking phenomena usually indicate that the type of wave function used is not flexible enough for even a qualitatively correct description. 

The original definition of natural orbitals was in terms of the density matrix from a full Cl wave function, i.e. the best possible for a given basis set. In that case the natural orbitals have the significance that they provide the fastest convergence. In order to obtain the lowest energy for a Cl expansion using only a limited set of orbitals, the natural orbitals with the largest occupation numbers should be used.
