It would also be of interest to investigate if the attenuation estimates can be further improved by extending our input data vectors. Since attenuation (and porosity) is spatially correlated, we should expect improvements when including data from A-.scans in a neighbourhood around the point of interest. This is also a topic for future work. 

The next point of interest has to do with the question of how deep the surface region or region of appreciably unbalanced forces is. This depends primarily on the range of intermolecular forces and, except where ions are involved, the principal force between molecules is of the so-called van der Waals type (see Section VI-1). This type of force decreases with about the seventh power of the intermolecular distance and, consequently, it is only the first shell or two of nearest neighbors whose interaction with a given molecule is of importance. In other words, a molecule experiences essentially symmetrical forces once it is a few molecular diameters away from the surface, and the thickness of the surface region is of this order of magnitude (see Ref. 23, for example). (Certain aspects of this conclusion need modification and are discussed in Sections X-6C and XVII-5.)... 

The principal point of interest to be discussed in this section is the manner in which the surface tension of a binary system varies with composition. The effects of other variables such as pressure and temperature are similar to those for pure substances, and the more elaborate treatment for two-component systems is not considered here. Also, the case of immiscible liquids is taken up in Section IV-2. 

As a point of interest, it is possible to form very thin films or membranes in water, that is, to have the water-film-water system. Thus a solution of lipid can be stretched on an underwater wire frame and, on thinning, the film goes through a succession of interference colors and may end up as a black film of 60-90 A thickness [109]. The situation is reminiscent of soap films in air (see Section XIV-9) it also represents a potentially important modeling of biological membranes. A theoretical model has been discussed by Good [110]. 

To shift it to some arbirtrary point ( yo,0jo) we first express Eq. (161b) in terms of Cartesian coordinates, and then shift the solution to the point of interest, namely, to (xjo, o)[= ( T/Oi 0yo)]- Once completed, the solution is transformed back to polar coordinates (for details see Appendix F). Following...

A particular point of interest included in these hehcal complexes concerns the chirality. The heUcates obtained from the achiral strands are a racemic mixture of left- and right-handed double heUces (Fig. 34) (202). This special mode of recognition where homochiral supramolecular entities, as a consequence of homochiral self-recognition, result from racemic components is known as optical self-resolution (203). It appears in certain cases from racemic solutions or melts (spontaneous resolution) and is often quoted as one of the possible sources of optical resolution in the biological world. On the other hand, the more commonly found process of heterochiral self-recognition gives rise to a racemic supramolecular assembly of enantio pairs (204). 

Spall is the process of internal failure or rupture of condensed media through a mechanism of cavitation due to stresses in excess of the tensile strength of the material. Usually, a dynamic failure is implied where transient states of tensile stress within the body are brought about by the interaction of stress waves. Free surfaces are assumed to be well removed from the material point of interest and play no role in the spall process. 

The Finite Differenee Method ean be used to approximate eaeh term in this equation by using the differenee equation for the first partial derivative. The values of the funetion at two points either side of the point of interest, k, are determined, and 1. These are equally spaeed by an inerement Ax. The finite differenee equation approximates the value of the partial derivative by taking the differenee of these values and dividing by the inerement range. The terms subseripted by indieate... 

In the equations listed in Table 7.10, r y) is the distance from the point of interest to the jet axis, and 8 is the distance to the jet boundary, which can be obtained from equations summarized in Table 7.11. 

Contact temperature measurement is based on a sensor or a probe, which is in direct contact with the fluid or material. A basic factor to understand is that in using the contact measurement principle, the result of measurement is the temperature of the measurement sensor itself. In unfavorable situations, the sensor temperature is not necessarily close to the fluid or material temperature, which is the point of interest. The reason for this is that the sensor usually has a heat transfer connection with other surrounding temperatures by radiation, conduction, or convection, or a combination of these. As a consequence, heat flow to or from the sensor will influence the sensor temperature. The sensor temperature will stabilize to a level different from the measured medium temperature. The expressions radiation error and conduction error relate to the mode of heat transfer involved. Careful planning of the measurements will assist in avoiding these errors. 

Clearly, if A is zero (no heat transfer), then the normal polytropic relation holds. A point of interest is that if Tjp = (1 — A) then rj = 1 and the expansion becomes isentropic (but not reversible adiabatic). 

Just as the solid/liquid phase equilibria in the systems HX/H2O show several points of interest, so too do the liquid/gas phase equilibria. When dilute aqueous solutions of HX are heated to boiling the concentration of HX in the vapour is less than that in the liquid phase, so that the liquid becomes progressively more concentrated and the bp progressively rises until a point is reached at which the liquid has the same composition as the gas phase so that it boils without change in composition and at constant temperature. This mixture is called an azeotrope (Greek a, without zein, to boil rpo7tr, trope, change).

The point of interest is the path of highest pressure drop or index leg. Other parallel branches can be designed of appropriate size to pass the required amount of air, those of lower resistance than the index leg being throttled by dampers. The pressure drop is the sum of the drops caused by the following and is calculated to determine the pressure against which the fan must operate ... 

Marketing forecasts for batteries have been compiled from the Annual Reports published by several battery companies. Information based on the trade journals and investor s brochures, which surveyed and evaluated the present and future global distribution of battery types, was collected. Points of interest were the availability of batteries and their performance/cost ratios, but also geographical usage in connection with social considerations, such as per-... 

Many of the nitrosyls studied are 5-coordinate, and analysis of crystallographic results indicates that, in general, in the trigonal bipyramid structures NO is found in the equatorial position in a linear geometry whereas in a square pyramidal structure, there is a bent M—N—O linkage in an apical position. A further point of interest is that in compounds like Ir(NO)Cl2(PPh3)2, the nitrosyl group bends in the more hindered (P—Ir—P) plane.
