Direct test particle methods are expected to be inefficient, compared to other possibilities, for molecular systems described with moderate realism. Successful placements of a test particle may be complicated, and placements with favorable Boltzmann factor scores may be rare. Fortunately, the tools noted above are generally available to design more-specific approaches for realistic cases. 

This study was carried out to simulate the 3D temperature field in and around the large steam reforming catalyst particles at the wall of a reformer tube, under various conditions (Dixon et al., 2003). We wanted to use this study with spherical catalyst particles to find an approach to incorporate thermal effects into the pellets, within reasonable constraints of computational effort and realism. This was our first look at the problem of bringing together CFD and heterogeneously catalyzed reactions. To have included species transport in the particles would have required a 3D diffusion-reaction model for each particle to be included in the flow simulation. The computational burden of this approach would have been very large. For the purposes of this first study, therefore, species transport was not incorporated in the model, and diffusion and mass transfer limitations were not directly represented. 

After World War II, photography as an art form took two directions. Some photographers turned from realism to abstraction and fantasy, as seen in the work of Minor White (1908-1976) and Bill Brandt (1904-1983). Others, such as Robert Frank (1924- ), used realism and words to portray a personal view of American culture. 

Internal realism is best formulated in direct opposition to metaphysical realism ... 

At first sight, this poses a fatal dilemma for internal realism. On the first hom of the dilemma we face organizational metaphysical realism. It claims that there are numerous conceptual schemes and they do not simply copy the structure of reality. Such copying would not even be possible, since we do not have direct access to that inherent structure. Rather, the human mind actively projects structures into reality it introduces distinctions, sets up similarity relations, etc. However, there are external constraints on the construction of conceptual schemes, and these constraints are afforded by the inherent structure of reality. Some schemes cut at the joints more often than the others. Failures to cut at the joints are manifested in bad or inaccurate predictions, lack of explanatory power, repeated failures, etc. This view does provide the external constraints necessary for the objectivity of knowledge, and also makes room for the active organizing role of the intellect. But the price is... 

There is, at present, no realistic theoretical model of the effect of geometrical disorder. A proper model must take into account the complicated orientation dependence of the matrix element (K) [63g], as well as the distribution of positions and orientations of the CTM. The simple treatment adopted by the Gaussian Disorder Model predicts a dependence of the prefactor mobility (//q) on the geometrical disorder parameter Z, namely //q oc exp(i2 ) [63a], and this relationship has been used often to analyze experimental data. The comparison of TTA and TAPC at low concentrations disagrees with this prediction, and it appears to be untenable a priori anyway [60b, 63e]. A worthy challenge for future work will be to construct a model with enough realism to have predictive value. Recent reports indicate progress in this direction [641,o]. 

According to the viewpoint of local realism, the recurring correlations in the Bohm experiment can be attributed to the existence of hidden variables which determine the spin state in every possible direction. It is as if each particle carried a little code book containing all this detailed information, a situation something like the left-hand drawing in Fig. 16.4. It must be concluded—so far—that both local realism and the quantum-mechanical picture of the world are separately capable of giving consistent accounts of the EPR and Bohm experiments. In what follows, we will refer to the two competing worldviews as local realism (LR) and quantum mechanics ("QM). By QM we will understand the conventional formulation of the theory, complete as it stands, without hidden variables or other auxilliary constructs. 

A further modification addresses a remote loophole for local realism in which the polarization detectors might somehow be able to signal one another at subluminal speed. Aspect designed an experiment in which mirrors switched at high speed could direct the two photons to different detectors, after they were already inflight. It was verified in this "delayed choice experiment that Bell s inequality is still violated, in what is currently considered the most conclusive test of nonlocality. 

The next section of the main loop takes care of events that aren t directly caused by the player s commands. We can call these routines automatic, for they happen independently of what s typed in. An adventure can be written without any automatic routines, but having even a few things outside the player s control gives a much greater sense of realism and excitement. 

F s Pentium systems got faster, PC game players got games that had better graphics, more realism, and more speed. However, as the computers got faster, the video technology just couldn t seem to keep up, as was the case with the VL-Bus discussed earlier. VL-Bus could only run at 33MHz, and with 100 and 200MHz processors, there was a need for a faster, processor-direct, video expansion bus. The bus that was developed to meet this need was the Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) bus. 

Of course, there are many possible philosophical and psychological departures from Strong Direct realism, though fewer from Weak Direct realism. To explore the possi-... 

I have said that had smell rather than vision been taken as a paradigm in the philosophy of perception. Weak Direct realism would have been taken as fairly obvious. So, too, I believe that if chemistry rather than physics had been taken as a paradigm in the philosophy of science, commonsense scientific realism would never have been seriously in dispute (though, of course, and rightly, it would have been disputed by some).
