In the practice of Method D the high molecular weight polyurethane gum or thermoplastic resin is dissolved in a suitable dry, isocyanate-inert solvent. In the case of the polyurethane gums free di- or poiyisocyanate is added to the solution. This is also sometimes done in the case of the thermoplastic polyurethane resins but frequently is unnecessary, in which case the use of dry isocyanate-inert solvents is also unnecessary. 

The suggested method is appropriately implemented at the practice. The cost and working hours of unit measurement of it is less than of any alternative method of destructive test and with respect to the authenticity inspection of Stress-Deformation the given method is inferior only to destructive testing. The method was successfully implemented while evaluation of service life of main pipe-lines sections and pressure vessels as well. Data of method and instrument are used as official data equally with ultrasonic, radiation, magnetic particles methods, adding them by the previously non available information about " fatigue " metalwork structure. 

There are some theoretical developments and practical implementations of methods, allowing to solve 3D reconstruction problem. They differ on their technical characteristics, scheme of data collecting and processing, qualitative results of the obtained images. 

Ihe allure of methods for calculating free energies and their associated thermod)mai values such as equilibrium constants has resulted in considerable interest in free ene calculations. A number of decisions must be made about the way that the calculatior performed. One obvious choice concerns the simulation method. In principle, eit Monte Carlo or molecular dynamics can be used in practice, molecular dynamics almost always used for systems where there is a significant degree of conformatio flexibility, whereas Monte Carlo can give very good results for small molecules which either rigid or have limited conformational freedom. 

The described direct derivation of shape functions by the formulation and solution of algebraic equations in terms of nodal coordinates and nodal degrees of freedom is tedious and becomes impractical for higher-order elements. Furthermore, the existence of a solution for these equations (i.e. existence of an inverse for the coefficients matrix in them) is only guaranteed if the elemental interpolations are based on complete polynomials. Important families of useful finite elements do not provide interpolation models that correspond to complete polynomial expansions. Therefore, in practice, indirect methods are employed to derive the shape functions associated with the elements that belong to these families. 

Quantum mechanics (QM) is the correct mathematical description of the behavior of electrons and thus of chemistry. In theory, QM can predict any property of an individual atom or molecule exactly. In practice, the QM equations have only been solved exactly for one electron systems. A myriad collection of methods has been developed for approximating the solution for multiple electron systems. These approximations can be very useful, but this requires an amount of sophistication on the part of the researcher to know when each approximation is valid and how accurate the results are likely to be. A significant portion of this book addresses these questions. 

Several polymerization techniques are in widespread usage. Our discussion is biased in favor of methods that reveal additional aspects of addition polymerization and not on the relative importance of the methods in industrial practice. We shall discuss four polymerization techniques bulk, solution, suspension, and emulsion polymerization.

Determination of the potency of Factor VIII is also difficult. This is normally measured by the abiUty of the sample to correct the clotting time of plasma deficient in Factor VIII. A number of methods and practices have evolved for this purpose (231), but these give very different results, particularly when activation of products may also occur (232). International standards have been used, but further standardization of the analytical method and harmonization of working standards is underway (233,234) under the auspices of the ISTH and the EC.

By the thirteenth century AD, essential oils were being produced along with medicinal and herbal preparations in pharmacies. Around this time improvements in distillation techniques were made, in particular the development of the alembic apparatus, which would eventually estabUsh the quaUty of such matenals. As a result, many of the essential oils in use today are denved from those produced in the sixteenth and seventeenth centunes in terms of odor character, even though production methods have continued to evolve. The current practice of aroma therapy is an indication of this common root of medicinal and fragrance chemistry. 

Dehydrogenation. Before the large-scale availabiUty of acetone as a co-product of phenol (qv) in some processes, dehydrogenation of isopropyl alcohol to acetone (qv) was the most widely practiced production method. A wide variety of catalysts can be used in this endothermic (66.5 kj/mol (15.9 kcal/mol) at 327°C), vapor-phase process to achieve high (75—95 mol %) conversions. Operation at 300—500°C and moderate pressures (207 kPa (2.04 atm)) provides acetone in yields up to 90 mol %. The most useful catalysts contain Cu, Cr, Zn, and Ni, either alone, as oxides, or in combinations on inert supports (see Catalysts, supported) (13-16).
