Although the EPAs policy does not consider recycling or treatment as actual pollution prevention methods per se, these methods present an opportunity to reduce the amount of waste that might otheiwise be discharged into the environment. Clearly, the definition of pollution prevention and its synonyms (e.g., waste minimization) must be understood to fully appreciate and apply these techniques. 

The potentiometry sensor (ion-selective electrode) controls application for determination of polymeric surface-active substances now gets the increasing value. Potentiometry sensor controls are actively used due to simple instmment registration, a wide range of determined concentrations, and opportunity of continuous substances contents definition. That less, the ionometry application for the cation polymeric SAS analysis in a solution is limited by complexity of polycation charge determination and ion-exchanger synthesis. 

To be able to systematically identify opportunities for reducing human error, it is useful to ask the question, What is human error One definition is that human error is an inappropriate or undesirable human decision or behavior that reduces, or has the potential for reducing safety or system performance (Rasmusssen 1979). There is a tendency to view errors as operator errors. However, the error may result from inadequate management, design, or maintenance of the system. This broader view which encompasses the whole system can help provide opportunities for instituting measures to reduce the likelihood of errors. 

The definition of the patented process offers the opportunity to an innovative chemist to develop a process which bypasses the original patent claims and offers a new legally clear route to an economically attractive product. 

Often, an important consideration in the definition of a missile s mission is the ability to stop the rocket motor upon demand. Such capability provides the opportunity to exercise control over the flight path and to make corrections where necessary. Solid propellants do not readily lend themselves to start-stop applications because the oxidizer and fuel are already mixed, and... 

By definition they only become apparent with hindsight, so tackling missed opportunities involves historical analysis of information generation and use, and decisions made. 

Chemistry and materials science are inextricably linked. In fact, in the National Research Council s Opportunities in Chemistry, familiarly known as the Pimentel Report (i), can be found the following definitions from Webster A material is the substance or substances out of which a thing is constructed, and chemistry is the science that deals with the composi-... 

The business case This provides initial requirements, defining the business problem or opportunity that this project addresses. It typically includes a high-level list of numbered functional and nonfunctional requirements2 (lb), the business reasons and risks for the project (la), the scope of the project in terms of things definitely included or excluded, linked clearly to a business model in terms of business objectives, actions or use cases, and user roles that must be supported (la), known requirements on the architecture, design, and implementation (lc), and constraints on project budget and schedules (Id). 

In conclusion, CNTs can offer a promising new technology for the development of advanced cancer treatment applications. However, much more work is definitely needed and will surely appear in order to explore and carefully define the opportunities and limitations of CNTs as delivery systems of nucleic adds using in vivo models. 

Definitive answers to these questions are not yet available. Only recently has there been the opportunity to coUect and compare explosive boiling incidents from different industries. Also, most experiments that have been conducted to explore RPT mechanisms have been limited to relatively small-scale tests. Evidence now exists to suggest that the small-scale results may only be indicative of a trigger or initiating step, and other mechanisms need to be introduced to explain large-scale boiling explosions. 

At the same time, there are instances in which critical concentration determinations still do not offer the experimenter the opportunity to reach a definitive conclusion about important aspects of protomer-polymer interactions. The lack of agreement about the polymerization properties of the Tb GDP complex is an excellent example. Several investigators have claimed that the tubulin GDP complex can elongate microtubules (Carlier and Pantaloni, 1978 Karr et al, 1979b) others.

Biologically mediated redox reactions tend to occur as a series of sequential subreactions, each of which is catalyzed by a specific enzyme and is potentially reversible. But despite favorable thermodynamics, kinetic constraints can slow down or prevent attainment of equilibrium. Since the subreactions generally proceed at unequal rates, the net effect is to make the overall redox reaction function as a imidirectional process that does not reach equilibrium. Since no net energy is produced imder conditions of equilibrium, organisms at equilibrium are by definition dead. Thus, redox disequilibrium is an opportunity to obtain energy as a reaction proceeds toward, but ideally for the sake of the organism does not reach, equilibrium. 

The ideal scenario would be to have the power of a traditional IR analyzer but with the cost and simplicity of a simple filter device, or even better to reduce the size down to that of a sensor (such as the spectral detector mentioned earlier) or a simple handheld device. This is not far-fetched, and with technologies emerging from the telecommunications industry, the life science industry and even nanotechnology, there can be a transition into analyzer opportunities for the future. There is definitely room for a paradigm shift, with the understanding that if an analyzer becomes simpler and less expensive to implement then the role of analyzers/sensor can expand dramatically. With part of this comes the phrase good enough is OK - there is no need for the ultimate in versatility or sophistication. Bottom line is that even in process instrumentation, simple is beautiful.
