The Boltzmann integro-differential kinetic equation written in terms of statistical physics became the foundation for construction of the structure of physical kinetics that included derivation of equations for transfer of matter, energy and charges, and determination of kinetic coefficients that entered into them, i.e. the coefficients of viscosity, heat conductivity, diffusion, electric conductivity, etc. Though the interpretations of physical kinetics as description of non-equilibrium processes of relaxation towards the state of equilibrium are widespread, the Boltzmann interpretations of the probability and entropy notions as functions of state allow us to consider physical kinetics as a theory of equilibrium trajectories. These trajectories as well as the trajectories of Euler-Lagrange have the properties of extremality (any infinitesimal part of a trajectory has this property) and representability in the form of a continuous sequence of states of rest. These trajectories can be used to describe the behavior of (a) isolated systems that spontaneously proceed to final equilibrium (b) the systems for which the differences of potentials with the environment are fixed (c) and non-homogeneous systems in which different parts have different values of the same intensive parameters.

In this section we resume our examination of the equivalency of time and temperature in the determination of the mechanical properties of polymers. In the last chapter we had several occasions to mention this equivalency, but never developed it in detail. In examining this, we shall not only acquire some practical knowledge for the collection and representation of experimental data, but also shall gain additional insight into the free-volume aspect of the glass transition. 

Three-Dimensional Modeling of Chemical Structures. The two-dimensional representations of chemical stmctures are necessary to depict chemical species, but have limited utiHty in providing tme understanding of the effects of the three-dimensional molecule on properties and reactive behavior. To better describe chemical behavior, molecular modeling tools that reflect the spatial nature of a given compound are required. 

The results of the micromechanics studies of composite materials with unidirectional fibers will be presented as plots of an individual mechanical property versus the fiber-volume fraction. A schematic representation of several possible functional relationships between a property and the fiber-volume fraction is shown in Figure 3-4. In addition, both upper and lower bounds on those functional relationships will be obtained. 

Relevant information taken from the docnments was combined with the expert s consnltation. The verbal ntterances combined with relevant representations of stractures in textbooks, papers and journals conld be combined into a system of stractures, properties and their interrelation. The results are sutmnarised in Fig. 9.2. Six meso levels were relevant to address the task. At a meso level of (10 m) the... 

We must now link these two properties, and the notion of branching to our problem representation, i.e., the DDP formalism. To do this, we introduce a variant on our earlier notation let... 

It is possible, however, to avoid any violation of these fundamental properties, and derive a result on the local electron densities of non-zero volume subsystems of boundaryless electron densities of complete molecules [159-161]. A four-dimensional representation of molecular electron densities is constructed by taking the first three dimensions as those corresponding to the ordinary three-space E3 and the fourth dimension as that representing the electron density values p(r). Using a compactifi-cation method, all points of the ordinary three- dimensional space E3 can be mapped to a manifold S3 embedded in a four- dimensional Euclidean space E4, where the addition of a single point leads to a compact manifold representation of the entire, boundaryless molecular electron density. 

Ultimately, this section is meant to function as a ready-reference database for learning or review of bioconjugate chemistry. In this regard, a reaction can be quickly found, a short discussion of its properties and use read, and a visual representation of the chemistry of bond formation illustrated. What this section is not meant to be is an exhaustive discussion on the theory or mechanism behind each reaction, nor a review of every application in which each chemical reaction has been used. For particular applications where the chemistries are employed, cross-references are given to other sections in this book or to outside literature sources. 

Another characteristic point is the special attention that in intermetallic science, as in several fields of chemistry, needs to be dedicated to the structural aspects and to the description of the phases. The structure of intermetallic alloys in their different states, liquid, amorphous (glassy), quasi-crystalline and fully, three-dimensionally (3D) periodic crystalline are closely related to the different properties shown by these substances. Two chapters are therefore dedicated to selected aspects of intermetallic structural chemistry. Particular attention is dedicated to the solid state, in which a very large variety of properties and structures can be found. Solid intermetallic phases, generally non-molecular by nature, are characterized by their 3D crystal (or quasicrystal) structure. A great many crystal structures (often complex or very complex) have been elucidated, and intermetallic crystallochemistry is a fundamental topic of reference. A great number of papers have been published containing results obtained by powder and single crystal X-ray diffractometry and by neutron and electron diffraction methods. A characteristic nomenclature and several symbols and representations have been developed for the description, classification and identification of these phases.
