Polystyrene capacitors have exceptionally low tan S values (< 10 q, making them well suited for frequency-selective circuits in telecommunications equipment. Polymer capacitors are widely used for power-factor correction in fluorescent lighting units, and in start/run circuitry for medium-type electric motors used in washing machines, tumble-dryers and copying machines for example. They are also used in filter circuits to suppress radio frequencies transmitted along main leads. Such interference noise may originate from mechanical switches, furnace controllers and switch mode power supplies it not only spoils radio and television reception but can also cause serious faults in data-processing and computer equipment. 

The sharp spike around the origin q 0 in the probability distribution of approximate constant of action Ji(p,q) implies that slow passages through the reaction bottleneck tend to spoil the approximate invariant of frequency, and the system s reactive dof (Pi, 5i) couples with the other nonreactive dof throughout the small region pj 0. The rather...

As mentioned by Harley (1982), in the seventeenth century. Van Dyck tried tin white in oil, reporting that it had insufficient body and was only suitahle for manuscript illumination. She iur-ther reports that M)tiens found that it blackened in sunhght and spoiled lead white, was useless in oil and distemper if exposed to air. Gu)4on de Morveau (1782) included tin white among the pigments he tested as substitutes for lead white he concluded that it was unsuitable, tending to yellow or blue. Field (1835) considered that it resembled zinc white in maty respects, hut dried badly, with even less body and colour in oil. The term was still a current one for Heaton (1928), who lists the composition as oxide of tin (that is, probably tin(IV) oxide, q.v.).
