Quite recently Raes (1985) applied the classical theory of homogenous nucleation originally developed by Bricard et al (1972) to atmospheres containing SO2, H2O and 218Po ions. Depending on the H2O and SO2 concentrations, ions could grow to a quasi-stable cluster which would evaporate upon electrical neutralization, or to a larger size which would survive neutralization. 

In radiation chemistry, the track effect is synonymous with LET variation of product yield. Usually, the product measured is a new molecule or a quasi-stable radical, but it can also be an electron that has escaped recombination or a photon emitted in a luminescent process. Here LET implies, by convention, the initial LET, although the actual LET varies along the particle track also, the secondary electrons frequently represent regions of heterogeneous LET against the background of the main particle. 

It may be noted that several authors (56,57) have calculated many properties of a rich spectrum of hadrons with few parameters in a phenomenological model. In all of these cases, the quark inside a nucleon has a much smaller effective mass than the free quark outside a nucleon. It has also been discussed (58) whether there exist quasi-stable hadrons containing superheavy quarks with atomic weights around 30. 

Almost all reactions of alkylidenecycloproparenes lead to opening of the cyclopropane ring. A notable exception to this is the reversible electrochemical reduction of237 and 240 which leads to the stablfe radical anions 396 and 397, with half-wave potentials of -2.32 and -1.93 V, respectively, and their oxidation to the quasi-stable radical cations 398 and 399 ( i/2(ox) = +0.68 and +0.81). The cations may be further oxidized to the corresponding very short-lived dications. In contrast, the photoelectron spectra of 237 and 240 reveal practically identical first-oxidation potentials of both compounds, which indicates that the difference in half-wave potentials for oxidation (in condensed phase) of 237 and 240 does not exist in the gas phase. This has been attributed to structure-specific solvation energies in the radical cations 398 and 399. °...

ENERGY LEVEL. A stationary state of energy of any physical system. The existence of many stable, or quasi-stable, slates, in which the energy of the system stays constant for some reasonable length of time, is an essential characteristic of quantum-mechanical systems, and is the basis of large areas of modem physics. 

Thus the isometric case starts with the A-M.D.Pj state and the lower 50K cleft bound to actin. Closure of the cleft is fast and results in a distortion of the /(-sheet of the upper 50K domain. This tends to destabilize the P-loop, leading to Pj release, but, if the movement of the lever-arm and converter is not complete, then the whole process is not completed and at mM P concentration P, can rebind, leading to the loss of force and detachment. When the crossbridge is held isometric, all steps in Scheme S are in a quasi-stable dynamic equilibrium. 

J,fc TDA) decoupling. Because of multiple points of quasi-stability for many trajectories, the quasi-stable value of the resonant pole is elicited from the corresponding a trajectory in fig. IS. 

Figure IS. a trajectory for 8 = 0.11 radians for the quasiparticle diagonal Zpk-TDA 2ph-TDA) dec0Uplxfig, The distances narrow as a = 0.85 is approached and then increase again. The quasi-stable value of the pole at this alpha value is therefore taken to be the best estimate of the energy and width of the Auger resonance from this decoupling.

It is noteworthy from Fig. 2-1 that photon absorption by a molecule which contains an even number of electrons without orbital degeneracy produces quasi-stable vibrationless S and Ti levels. By fluorescence (Fluo.) we mean an emissive process between two levels of the same spin multiplicity. In Fig. 2-1, Si So Fluo. is shown, its rate constant being 10 -10 s. By phosphorescence (Phos.) we mean an emissive process between two levels of two different spin multiplicities. In Fig. 2-1, Ti—>So Phos. is shown, its rate constant being 10 -lO s. Because Ti lifetime is fairly long, the Ti Tn absorption(Ti T Abs.) is often observed. In Fig. 2-1, Ti—>T2 Abs. is drawn as an example. Similarly, the S - S absorption (Si—Abs.) can also be observed in many molecules, but it is not shown in Fig. 2-1 for simplicity. 

Fig. 1 shows the force-distance plots for the carbon, (a), and the glass, (b) laminates with a notch depth of 5mm (for all samples except (p = 15° glass, which had 4mm notches). It can be seen that the (p = 15° and 30° laminates were stressed to failure without any significant plasticity effects being evident. The 45° coupons, on the other hand, had much quasi-stable deformation before failure, while the 60° and 75° laminates broke very easily. 

Although the type of mineral that ultimately forms is mainly governed by its thermodynamic stability, what is observed at any time or even as a quasi-stable end product, is governed by kinetic factors. Important parameters that govern the phase that forms are temperature solution composition (pH Eh Fe concentration and oxidation state type and concentration of anions) rate of Fe supply rate of oxidation. 

Very little is known about the influence of grain growth, or crystallization if the membrane is composed of an amorphous alloy, on membrane durability. The as-fabricated permselective metal membrane will be polycrystalline or amorphous, depending on the alloy composition and fabrication method. Amorphous, or metallic glass, structures are far less common than are polycrystalline structures. Both amorphous and polycrystalline structures are quasi-stable, meaning that structures are kinetically stabilized and slow to rearrange to the thermodynamically favored structure. In both cases, this would be a single crystal of the metal.
