Percent-conversion-time relation

In spite of these caveats, several experimental techniques can be applied generally. In solution, determination of percent conversion of monomer versus time of irradiation can be used to evaluate rates of polymerization, Rp. Relative or absolute rates of polymerization can be evaluated as a function of light intensity (Ia), monomer concentration, or in the presence of added inhibitors. In the presence of good inhibitors, the time of the inhibition period can be measured and related to the rate of initiation by... 

Related to the topic of watching our language, is how we, as service providers, listen to and talk to owners, clients, and customers because it apparently impacts the probability of litigation. Bachner (2009) cites a study in which the researcher recorded hundreds of physician-patient conversations. Half of the physicians had never been sued the other half had been sued at least twice... Why was that Those who had never been sued spent 20 percent more time with their patients and were far more likely to exhibit active-listening skills. Importantly, those who had never been sued didn t give their patients more or better information the difference was not in what they said, it was in how they said it. ... 

FIGURE 42.2 UV-induced cross-linking in diacetylene LB films. Percent polymer conversion plot is based upon the 288/ Ag ratio (intensity ratio between a daughter ion representative of the analyte molecule and the silver-related signal) versus time of UV exposure. Figure from Reference [28].
