Practical support

Our original support question was how much of the limit curve is modified when you move one control point When building interactive design software it may be very relevant that in regions where the basis function has a tiny value, the change in the curve from a small movement of a control point may be undetectable. 

Suppose that a control point is being moved by 50 pixels interactively. In places where b(t) 0.01 this is unlikely to change the image of the curve. Even for the cubic B-spline the last one-third of a span at each end is well below this threshold, as is the entire end span of the quintic B-spline. For higher degrees even more will have no visible effect.

Product stewardship The management practice supporting a philosophy of service to customers and minimizing effects on health and the environment throughout the complete life cycle of a product. 

It is emphasised however that whilst the theoretical aspects of analytical chemistry can be studied in this way there is no substitute for the laboratory to learn the associated practical skills. In the U.K. there are nominated Polytechnics, Colleges and other Institutions who offer tutorial and practical support to achieve the practical objectives identified within each text. It is expected that many institutions worldwide will also provide such support. 

This practice supports the CSB observation that effective process hazard analysis for a reactive system is essentially more data driven than conventional process hazard analysis given the technical complexity of the reactive hazard. Three of the five visited companies use reactivity test data when conducting process hazard analysis two use qualitative hazard evaluation methods only. 

ENK562000-00301, and the Region Alsace. They would also like to thank the GEIE Exploitation Miniere de la Chaleur and particularly Andre Gerard for practical support and access to drilling and exploitation data. 

The California Academy of Sciences provided access to computers and other equipment, and to specimens in their collections. The Academy s library was the source of some of the photographs presented herein, and the library staff was very helpful. The Department of Invertebrate Zoology and Geology provided moral and practical support as well as technical assistance. 

In all the models discussed so far, the support surface was assumed to be flat. In fact, very many case studies, particularly of supported metals, have used flat, low-surface-area substrates. However, Wynblatt and Ahn [36] have demonstrated that surface curvature does affect the surface free energy, the growth of particles (sintering) via particle migration and interparticle transport. Therefore, the sintering process of practical supported catalysts which frequently use high-surface-area, porous supports must be significantly more complex than described by the simple models. 

It is clear that wetting and spreading phenomena are significantly involved in all steps indicated in Fig. 3. Rather than report on the many studies on sintering and redispersion in practical supported metal catalysts, the following discussion briefly highlights some model studies which have been nicely reviewed by Rucken-stein et al. [1],... 

I am grateful to Prof Dr. K. Blaser and Prof. Dr. H. Lehrach for continuous support and encouragement. I am particularly indebted to the clinics in Davos for the intensive clinical support and to all my coworkers and collaborators for practical support which made progress in this field of research possible at all. This work was supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation (grants 31.50515.97 and 31.063381.00) and by the Ciba-Geigy Jubilaumsstiftung. 

Level 1 and Level 2 assessment outcomes usually denote pharmaceutical and healthcare companies whose senior management are still not committed to the implementation of validation and rely on their subordinates to enact validation without the practical support they could offer. Computer validation is often characterized by firefighting. 

Financial or practical support for the running of medical offices, etc. is not acceptable. 

Particle sintering involves atoms that escape and diffuse away from crystallites, eventually being captured by other particles (267), or crystallite diffusion on the surface and subsequent collision and coalescence with larger particles (262). The latter model is unlikely for particles over 50 A (267). Since practical supported catalysts have a broad particle size distribution, a combination of atom and small crystallite diffusion is probable. That more than one process is responsible for sintering is also apparent from the power law kinetics of the aging process (267-264) ...
