OSC

The eontraetor SSAHP at Site A provided for heat stress monitoring to begin when the temperature rose above 70 degrees F. The OSC at this site indieated that this rarely happens during the summer months, and, thus, heat stress monitoring had not been eondueted. 

Fig. 2.6 The moqjhological events of sporulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. (a) starved cell V, vacuole LG, lipid granule ER, endoplasmic reticulum CW, cell wall M, mitochondrion S, spindle pole SM, spindle microtubules N, nucleus NO, nucleolus, (b) Synaptonemal complex (SX) and development of polycomplex body (PB) along with division of spindle pole body in (c). (d) First meiotic division which is completed in (e). (f) Prepararation for meiosis II. (g) Enlargement of prospore wall, culminating in enclosure of separate haploid nuclei (h). (i) Spore coat (SC) materials produced and deposited, giving rise to the distinct outer spore coat (OSC) seen in the completed spores of the mature ascus (j).

The GreenList system also includes a kind of wild card . When a chemical is found on a regulatory list or banned in a country, it is considered to have Other Significant Concerns (OSCs). OSCs are applied to the overall rating of a chemical - not its individual attributes -to reduce the overall score by one point. For example chemicals have OSCs if they are ... 

An average value obtained from the two (or four) relevant OSC angles. An average value obtained from the relevant SSC angles. 

The total Hamiltonian is the sum of the two terms H = H + //osc- The way in which the rate constant is obtained from this Hamiltonian depends on whether the reaction is adiabatic or nonadiabatic, concepts that are explained in Fig. 2.2, which shows a simplified, one-dimensional potential energy surface for the reaction. In the absence of an electronic interaction between the reactant and the metal (i.e., all Vk = 0), there are two parabolic surfaces one for the initial state labeled A, and one for the final state B. In the presence of an electronic interaction, the two surfaces split at their intersection point. When a thermal fluctuation takes the system to the intersection, electron transfer can occur in this case, the system follows the path...
