Physical events

Melting, a major physical event, has small, subtle effects on shock-compression wave profiles. The relatively small volume changes and limited mixed-phase regions result in modest, localized changes in loading wave speed. Consequently, shock-induced melting and freezing remains an area with little data and virtually no information on the influence of solid properties and defects on its kinetics. 

Time. Physical events generally occur in some causal sequence. Time is a measure of this sequence and is required in addition to position in space in order to fully specify an event. 

Conservation of mass. The mass of a system of particles remains unchanged during the course of ordinary physical events. 

Some ingenious experimental innovations have now made it possible to conduct flash photolysis on time scales < 10-11 s. They are anything but routine, especially as they approach a resolution of some femtoseconds, which is the approximate current state of the art. The implementation of these methods allows the study of chemical and physical events on time scales approaching and even exceeding those of molecular vibrations. Indeed, it is studies of vibration, including ligand motion, and (especially) electron transfer that have benefited most. 

The total molecular energy is invariant to all transformations involving basis orbitals, just as any physical event is invariant under any transformation of coordinates. But just as the proper choice of coordinates helps in visualizing physical events, so the choice of the proper orbital basis is helpful in visualizing molecular properties.

Filters are designed to remove unwanted information, but do not address the fact that processes involve few events monitored by many measurements. Many chemical processes are well instrumented and are capable of producing many process measurements. However, there are far fewer independent physical phenomena occurring than there are measured variables. This means that many of the process variables must be highly correlated because they are reflections of a limited number of physical events. Eliminating this redundancy in the measured variables decreases the contribution of noise and reduces the dimensionality of the data. Model robustness and predictive performance also require that the dimensionality of the data be reduced. 

As pointed out by Mikhail, both functional and stochastic models must be considered together at all times, as there may be several possible combinations, each representing a possible mathematical model. The functional model describes the physical events using an intelligible system, suitable for analysis. It is linked to physical realities by measurements that are themselves physical operations. In simpler situations, measurements refer directly to at least some elements of the functional model. However, it is not necessary, and often not practical, that all the elements of the model be observable. That is, from practical considerations, direct access to the system may not be possible or in some cases may be very poor, making the selection of the measurements of capital importance. 

I have come to believe that under certain conditions the manipulative power of consciousness moves beyond the body and into the world. The world then obeys the will of consciousness to the degree that the inertia of pre-existing physical laws can be overcome. This inertia is overcome by consciousness determining the outcome of the normally random, micro-physical events. Over time the deflection of micro-events from randomness is cumulative so that eventually the effects of such deflections is to shift the course of events in larger physical systems as well. Apparently, when want-ing wishes to come true, patience is everything. 

A complete understanding of the system under consideration and of the mechanisms that lead to all the hazardous outcomes is required. This may be in the form of a time sequence of instructions, control actions, or in the sequence of physical events that lead to hazardous consequences. 

The measures associated with physical events occurring on the heterogeneous surface may lead to spatial distribution, which possesses infinitely many singularities. The development of formalism for the description of such situations therefore needs infinitely many dimension-type exponents to characterize these distributions. 

In many real polymerisation reactions, the kinetic scheme given above will be inadequate. Other reaction steps may have to be included amd the results of chain transfer to polymer are not always easy to describe. There is clear evidence which suggests that the chain termination rate coefficient is reduced in value when the concentration of polymer is high [43, 44]. The quantitative assessment for such changes is still a subject of much research [45, 46]. At very high concentrations, the value of kp may also be reduced [47]. Other physical events may also be important, particularly when the reaction becomes heterogeneous. 

In real industrial polymerisation, important physical events must be taken into account. For most vinyl monomers, the enthalpy change which accompanies polymerisation is Izirge and isothermal conditions cannot always be guaranteed. The viscosity of polymerising fluids can be very high so that complete mixing is not achieved in a stirred reactor. 

The physiology of penile erection involves an interplay of anatomical, hemodynamic, neurophysiological, and sex hormone interaction. Penile erection is the result of a complex interaction between the central nervous system and other local factors. This physical event also can be influenced by psychological factors. 

For the electro-nuclear model, it is the charge the only homogeneous element between electron and nuclear states. The electronic part corresponds to fermion states, each one represented by a 2-spinor and a space part. Thus, it has always been natural to use the Coulomb Hamiltonian Hc(q,Q) as an entity to work with. The operator includes the electronic kinetic energy (Ke) and all electrostatic interaction operators (Vee + VeN + Vnn)- In fact this is a key operator for describing molecular physics events [1-3]. Let us consider the electronic space problem first exact solutions exist for this problem the wavefunctions are defined as /(q) do not mix up these functions with the previous electro-nuclear wavefunctions. At this level. He and S (total electronic spin operator) commute the spin operator appears in the kinematic operator V and H commute with the total angular momentum J=L+S in the I-ffame L is the total orbital angular momentum, the system is referred to a unique origin. 

Until now we have studiously avoided defining what constitutes an explosion or go result in an impact test, except mentioning that go s are judged on the basis of sound, flash, gas volume etc. What physical events produce these observed manifestations Based primarily on the studies of Bowden (Ref 2) it is clear that in an impact test explosion frequently starts as a relatively mild deflagration which can propagate as slowly as lOm/sec, which turns into a much more violent deflagration, (lOO-lOOOm/sec), in the confined (by striker anvil) explosive. For many insensitive explo-...

What is the net thermochemistry in a reaction such as 11.2 or 11.4 In the atomic site convention, the bookkeeping is quite straightforward. In reaction 11.2 we have converted AsH3(g) and Ga(s) into AsH3(s) and Ga(b). Thus the change in a thermochemical property (e.g., AHr) is just the difference in the heats of formation of the products and the reactants. What about in the open site convention What are the properties of 0(s), the open site Because these two formalisms describe an identical physical event, it is evident the properties of the open site must be related to those of Ga(b) and Ga(s). For example, the heat of formation of this open site is just... 

The relaxation time must be assigned to a specific physical event. 

This physical event must be fitted into the overall kinetic mechanism of the process under study. 

We begin with the target, a physical event or state of affairs from which information flows through some channel of transmission and reaches the percipient. After reaching the percipient, the information is transformed into mental and/or neural impulses by some sort of receptor and eventually results in knowledge and/or observable behavior, from which we infer that information about the target event has reached the percipient. 

A thermal analysis curve is interpreted by relating the measured property versus temperature data to chemical and physical events occurring in the sample. It is frequently a qualitative or comparative technique.

This type of experiment and approach, whilst having a predictive and correlative power of undoubted value to the synthetic organic chemist, whose reactions sometimes fail for unsuspected reasons anyway, has, at least in its original form, the following unsatisfactory features as an aid to the understanding of a physical event.
