Previous Technology Recommendations

The recent TUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology—The Gold Book recommends that the name of compounds having the structure R2N—O" R2N +—0 is more appropriately that of aminoxyl radicals . The synonymous terms nitroxyl radical or nitroxide are accordingly not desirable, even though quite popular in various fields of science and technology. This chapter follows a previous chapter of the series and, for this historical reason, retains the old terminology of the compounds in the title, but this use will be discontinued from now on in the text. 

All these assessments will provide information for comparing the risks associated with the modified baseline process with those associated with other alternatives. The Stockpile Committee previously recommended that the primary criterion for the selection of technology should be the minimization of cumulative adverse consequences from all relevant risks (NRC, 1994). Cumulative risks include risks to the public and workers, as well as the economic and sched-... 

The aim of the present work is to derive the enthalpies of formation of HOI and IONO2 via ab initio methods. The latter is used to investigate the kinetics of reaction (5). The NASA-JPL recommendation [9] for AfH(HOI) is based on calculations by Hassanzadeh and Irikura [10] and previous work from our laboratory on OH + CF3I kinetics [11]. In the intervening decade there have been revisions to most of the ancillary thermochemical and kinetic data used in these calculations, and advances in computational technology and methodology make... 

Laboratory robotics is not an outgrowth of classical industrial robotics (manufacturing robotics). Developed independently, it focuses on the chemical process rather than on robotic hardware development. However, much of the technology that was previously developed and tested for industrial automation has found uses in laboratory robotics. Also, some classical terms are routinely used in connection with laboratory robotics and laboratory automation. By 1994, robotics had seemingly reached maturity, so a specific nomenclature for laboratory robotics and automation was issued by lUPAC [2,3]. Some of lUPAC s recommended terms are general and require the word robot or robotics for specific use (e.g. in controlled-path robots , corrosion-resistant robots , feedback in robotics , accuracy in robotics ) others are characteristic of robotic technology (e.g. arm , articulate structure , flexible automation , manipulator ). 

These tables give the 2006 self-consistent set of values of the basic constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) for international use. The 2006 adjustment takes into account the data considered in the 2002 adjustment as well as the data that became available between 31 December 2002, the closing date of that adjustment, and 31 December 2006, the closing date of the new adjustment. The new data has led to a significant reduction in the uncertainties of many recommended values. The 2006 set replaces the previously recommended 2002 CODATA set and may also be found on the World Wide Web at physics.nist.gov/constants. 

As reported previously (NRC, 2001a), NSCWCC has recommended several criteria for technology selection. These criteria are consistent with the findings from earlier ACWA and AltTech studies (NRC, 1999b, 1996c) ... 

Finding (Demo I) PA-2. The nerve agent demonstration tests had serious problems. However, if the previous tests at the technology provider s laboratory and the results of the demonstration tests are combined, the aggregate results are inconclusive. The reason for the poor demonstration results might be as simple as poor aeration in the bioreactor (see Recommendation PA-1). 

EDS liquid waste streams, taking note of any differences between these waste streams and those generated by the MMD considered previously (NRC, 2001a). The committee then examined the extent to which any differences between the EDS and MMD liquid waste streams might alter its earlier recommendations on alternative technologies for destruction of these wastes. However, the committee notes that several important developments have occurred since the publication of the earlier report. Disposal of Neutralent Wastes (NRC, 2001a) ...
