As one can see, the data for both considered polymer lie on one straight line, that allows to determine the value Vp, which is equal to 0.76. This magnitude corresponds well to classical value of correlation length percolation index Vp, which is equal to -0.80 [14]. 

Fig. 2.9.10 Maps of the temperature and of the experimental data. The right-hand column convection flow velocity in a convection cell in refers to numerical simulations and is marked Rayleigh-Benard configuration (compare with with an index 2. The plots in the first row, (al) Figure 2.9.9). The medium consisted of a and (a2), are temperature maps. All other random-site percolation object of porosity maps refer to flow velocities induced by p = 0.7 filled with ethylene glycol (temperature thermal convection velocity components vx maps) or silicon oil (velocity maps). The left- (bl) and (b2) and vy (cl) and (c2), and the hand column marked with an index 1 represents velocity magnitude (dl) and (d2).

Table 8. Field scale study - Ecotoxicity of accumulated percolates of a municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash (BA) and a slag from a second smelting of lead (2SL) from field experiments and their corresponding waste PEEP index values (see Section 5.6 for the detail of calculations).

Table 8 summarizes pH, conductivity, ecotoxicological results and the corresponding waste PEEP index values obtained for the accumulated percolates recovered in situ for each waste. Measurements of pH remained relatively constant, but conductivity decreased in relation to L/S ratio, as observed before in the column study. 

Table 9 gives an overview of results obtained from the column tests and the field tests for BA and 2SL wastes up to an L/S ratio of 2 and an L/S ratio of 8, respectively. This outlook allows a comparison of the two procedures based on the sensitivity responses of the algal and Microtox tests and on the waste PEEP index values for L/S ratios experimented in the field. For the purposes of this comparison, waste PEEP index values for the field percolates were recalculated using results of both tests presented in Table 8. 

Value t — 2 for the granular metals has been confirmed experimentally in several papers (see, for example, Ref. [1]) however, for Nix(Si02)i A nanocomposite with granules of nanometer size it was found t x 2.7, g x 2 [65]. It rather essentially differs from the classical theory predictions. Also, the noticeable differences of the experimental values of critical indexes from the theoretical ones have been found in papers [66,67]. Authors of these papers attributed the discrepancy between the experimental data and results of the classical percolation theory to the quantum effects, which lead to the Anderson localization of charge carriers [57,58]. 

We verify the density using a sterile hydrometer. A more accurate technique, used by Leonard et al. (8), is to measure the refractive index (RI) which is related linearly to the density. The slope of the straight line can be determined by carefully weighing 25 mL vol of 3 different solutions and measuring the RI at 22°C. A change of density of 0.001 corresponds to a change of 1.5 x 10-4 in RI. Final adjustments of density are made with HBSS (to reduce density) or Percoll stock (to increase density).

In this range, the connecting set is a fractal that is, it is geometrically similar to a percolating cluster, and its properties depend on the linear scale. Therefore, both the correlation length and the P s of the connecting set (the upper index oo means that the limit / —> oo is taken) should scale with distance from the critical point (i.e., percolation threshold pc = p ) as...

The critical indices estimated from these relations fall into the admissible ranges of variation P = 0.39-0.40, V = 0.8-0.9, and t = 1.6-1.8, determined in terms of the percolation model for three-dimensional systems. The researchers [7] noted that not only numerical values but also the meanings of these values coincide. Thus the index P characterises the chain structure of a percolation cluster. The 1/p value, which serves as the index of the first subset of the fractal percolation cluster in the model considered [7], also determines the chain structure of the cluster. The index v is related to the cellular texture of the percolation cluster. The 2/df index of the second subset of the fractal percolation cluster is also associated with the cellular structure. By analogy, the index t defines the large-cellular skeleton of the fractal percolation cluster. The relationship between the critical percolation indices and the fractal dimension of the percolation cluster for three-dimensional systems and examples of determination of these values for filled polymers are considered in more detail in the book cited [7]. Thus, these critical indices are universal and significant for analysis of complex systems, the behaviour of which can be interpreted in terms of the percolation theory.
