Parodi relation

When the Parodi relation (4.96) holds, the viscous dissipation inequality given by (4.85) reduces to... 

As pointed out by Ericksen [80], when the Parodi relation (4.96) applies the vector gi and the viscous stress Uj in equations (4.77) and (4.86) can be obtained directly from the dissipation function V (which we can accept for our purposes as being defined by equation (4.97)), through the properties... 

The second equality in (4.161) was obtained using the Parodi relation (4.96). Similar equivalent descriptions of tj 6, (j>) can be found in the literature see, for example, Moscicki [205], who has an equally valid description using exactly these viscosities but with different definitions of 0 and . Further examples include those mentioned by G willer [99, Eqn.(7)j and Schneider and Kneppe [247, p.456] (note that in both References [99, 247] the Authors interchange the definitions of the above r/i and r/2). The three cases in Fig. 4.1 then correspond to the three types of experiment which allow the measurements of (a) 771 when 0 = 0 and 0 = 0, (b) 772 when 0 =, and (c) 773 when 0 = 0 and 0 = f. The contribution of 7712 to the apparent viscosity 77 is clearly maximised when the director is immobilised in the shear plane at an angle of to v, in which event 0 = f and 0 = 0, so that... 

The six viscosities in equation (4.161) to (4.164) and (4.166) can now all be given in terms of the five independent Leslie viscosities arising in the Ericksen-Leslie dynamic theory, assuming the widely accepted Parodi relation (4.96) holds. Hence only five of these viscosities are needed to form a canonical set of viscosities. 

We emphasise again that these rely on the Parodi relation (4.96) being valid. The coefficients a to as can also be considered as a canonical set of five viscosities. This is known to be experimentally viable for a large majority of nematics when they are treated as incompressible. 

The above quantities can be inserted into the dissipation function D = I> defined by equations (4.85) and (4.146)2. After some straightforward rearrangements and computations, and using the Parodi relation (4.127) when appropriate, we can collect terms in powers of and C to obtain [174]...

The publication of Rachel Carson s Silent Spring in 1962 and her description of pesticide contamination of waterways, land, and wildlife galvanized, for the first time, the American public s concern about the chemical industry. The issue was further fed by the heated response of the chemical industry when Monsanto published and distributed 5000 copies of a brochure parodying Silent Spring, which related the devastation and inconvenience of a world where famine, disease, and insects ran amok because chemical pesticides had been banned. Carson s carefully researched work was only vindicated when many eminent scientists rose to her defense, and President John F. Kennedy ordered the President s Science Advisory Committee to examine the issues the book raised (NRDC, 2004). As a result, DDT came under much closer government supervision and was eventually banned.
