OPEN statement

The long-range van der Waals interaction provides a cohesive pressure for a thin film that is equal to the mutual attractive force per square centimeter of two slabs of the same material as the film and separated by a thickness equal to that of the film. Consider a long column of the material of unit cross section. Let it be cut in the middle and the two halves separated by d, the film thickness. Then, from one outside end of one of each half, slice off a layer of thickness d insert one of these into the gap. The system now differs from the starting point by the presence of an isolated thin layer. Show by suitable analysis of this sequence that the opening statement is correct. Note About the only assumptions needed are that interactions are superimposable and that they are finite in range. 

Contact angle is proportional to (ysv - 7sl), therefore addition of a surfactant that adsorbs at the solid-solution interface should decrease ysL d therefore increase the quantity above and make 6 smaller. Yet such addition in flotation systems increases 6. Discuss what is inconect or misleading about the opening statement. 

It is twenty-five years since the first edition was published, and at the beginning of the twenty-first century it seems appropriate to reflect on the directions in which analytical chemistry is developing. The opening statements from the preface to the first edition are as relevant now as they were in 1975, viz... 

However, because the charges in such a case may be so serious, it is simply not enough for you to make an opening statement you now have to present evidence—or in the case of the courtroom—specific exhibits that wiU prove your client s innocence. Like the body of your paper and each point that you will make to your reader, each exhibit in a courtroom must be relevant to the case at hand, vital to the discussion, and presented in such a way that it is indisputable. For instance, perhaps Exhibit A is a photograph of the intersection at the time the car accident took place, and your client s car is nowhere in the photo. As a lawyer, you might introduce Exhibit A by saying ... 

In spite of the seeming modernity of the opening statements, it is clear that Macquers commitment to tradition has led him to identify the observed products of analysis with the philosophical elements of old. What Macquer and many other chemists still lacked was a clear sense of a chemical substance. Certainly Macquer could not have had in mind the concept of substance or body like that defined by Torbern Bergman a few years later when he wrote, In general, any body which differs in properties from every other, and can be always had similar to itself, I consider as a separate and distinct body—... 

One way to begin this paragraph is by posing a question (such as, "Don t you need... "), however, a strong opening statement often works best. For this portion of your letter, using bulleted points can save space and allow you to convey more information to the reader quickly. 

Quite in contrast are the comments on the Tibetan manual by Lama Anagarika Govinda. His opening statement at first glance would cause a Judaeo-Christian psychologist to snort in impatience. But a close look at these phrases reveals that they are the poetic statement of the genetic situation as currently described by biochemists and DNA researchers.

Some support for my speculation comes from the following opening statement by Klutgen writing in the journal Philosophy of Science in 1958 ... 

In much the same manner as the opening statements outlined the evidence that each side would present and explained what each side expected to prove, the closing... 

Several panelists highlighted specific passages in the Public Health Statement that were either unclear or inaccurate. For example, one panelist questioned the reasoning behind one of the opening statements in Chapter 1 Because the health effects of PCBs are difficult to evaluate, most of the information in this document is about seven types of commercially available PCB mixtures (pages 1 and... 

E. T. Reese I don t think we should let the opening statement you made regarding Lee s work at Syracuse go unchallenged. You said that the more crystalline material was more rapidly hydrolyzed by the enzyme and this is true. But you didn t point out that this material was also the most porous of the materials that Lee used, and this was the reason for that increase in susceptibility. ... 

This is typified by the fact that the University of Illinois was founded under the name of The Illinois Industrial University. It has risen to the top ranks of outstanding intellectual institutions, but it started with a practical flavor. So the whole concept of practical results coming out of the academic institution is not out of place. In fact, the opening statement in the University of Illinois catalog refers to its "...threefold mission of teaching, research, and public service."...

We recall here the opening statement of a famous book on quantum chemistry In so far as quantum mechanics is correct, chemical questions are problems in applied mathematics. Actually, the mathematics to apply to liquid systems is a hard nut to crack. Fortunately a sequence of many, but reasonable, approximations can be introduced. We shall consider and exploit them in the following section of this chapter.
