Realities

So what is this fearsome belief system The deep ecology platform, as published in Clearcut, states  [Pg.76]

The well-being and flourishing of human and nonhuman life on Earth have value in themselves (synonyms inherent worth, intrinsic value, inherent value). These values are independent of the usefulness of the nonhuman world for human purposes. [Pg.76]

Richness and diversity of life-forms contribute to the realization of these values and are also values in themselves. [Pg.76]

Humans have no right to reduce this richness and diversity except to satisfy vital needs. [Pg.76]

Present human interference with the nonhuman world is excessive, and the situation is rapidly worsening. [Pg.76]

Nevertheless, Reality is easy to use and it is much quicker to learn than learning actual programming languages, such as Nyquist, or programming systems, such as Audio Architect Reality is flexible for building its patches and it can hold more than one thousand patches in its memory. Also, it offers M-voice polyphony and is multi-timbral to sixteen MIDI-channels. [Pg.212]


Combining informativeness and accuracy with readability, Stephanie Yanchinski explores the hopes, fears and, more importantly, the realities of biotechnology - the science of using micro-organisms to manufacture chemicals, drugs, fuel and food. [Pg.442]

Although a diatomic molecule can produce only one vibration, this number increases with the number of atoms making up the molecule. For a molecule of N atoms, 3N-6 vibrations are possible. That corresponds to 3N degrees of freedom from which are subtracted 3 translational movements and 3 rotational movements for the overall molecule for which the energy is not quantified and corresponds to thermal energy. In reality, this number is most often reduced because of symmetry. Additionally, for a vibration to be active in the infrared, it must be accompanied by a variation in the molecule s dipole moment. [Pg.57]

In the absence of a single accurate theory representing the physical reality of liquids and gases and, consequently, all their physical properties, a property can be calculated in various ways. [Pg.106]

The saturation pressure, P, is different from the bubble point pressure (see. Vidal, 1973) and has no physical reality it merely serves as an intermediate calculation. [Pg.116]

TTie calculation of partial fugacltles requires knowing the derivatives of thermodynamic quantities with respect to the compositions and to arrive at a mathematical model reflecting physical reality. [Pg.152]

Calculation of the atmospheric TBP is rapid if it can be assumed that this distillation is ideal (which is not always the case in reality). It is only necessary to arrange the components in order of increasing boiling points and to accumulate the volumes determined by using the standard specific gravity. [Pg.164]

It is useful, nevertheless, to bring to mind their composition and their means of action (Goodacre, 1958). Several components of the same family can in reality be utilized tetraethyl lead, Pb ( 2115)4 or TEL, tetramethyl lead, Pb (CHg) or TML, mixtures of these products or yet mixed chemical components including various combinations of the groups C2Hg and CH3 Pb ( 2115)2 ( 113)2, Pb ( 2115)3 113, Pb ( 2Hg) ( 113)3. [Pg.206]

To avoid these problems, refiners commonly use additives called detergents" (Hall et al., 1976), (Bert et al., 1983). These are in reality surfactants made from molecules having hydrocarbon chains long enough to ensure their solubility in the fuel and a polar group that enables them to be absorbed on the walls and prevent deposits from sticking. The most effective chemical structures are succinimides, imides, and fatty acid amines. The required dosages are between 500 and 1000 ppm of active material. [Pg.243]

Petroleum coke is in reality a hydrocarbon whose C/H ratio is very high it is usually higher than 20 and can attain 1000 after calcination. It is not, therefore, elementary carbon. [Pg.292]

The crankcase of a gasoline or diesel engine is in reality a hydrocarbon oxidation reactor oil is submitted to strong agitation in the presence of air at high temperature (120°C) furthermore, metals such as copper and iron, excellent catalysts for oxidation, are present in the surroundings. [Pg.358]

Because of the nature of subsurface data, maps and sections are only models or approximations of reality, and always contain a degree of uncertainty. Reduction of these uncertainties is one of the tasks of the geoscientists, and will be further discussed in Section 6.2. [Pg.142]

As discussed in Sections 13.0 and 14.0, the management of operating expenditure (opex) is a major issue, since initial estimates of opex are often far exceeded in reality, and may threaten the profitability of a project. Within the FDP, it is therefore useful to specify the system which will be used to measure the opex. Without measuring opex, there is no chance of managing it. This will involve the joint effort of production operations, finance and accounting, and the development managers. [Pg.286]

In reality all activities are listed and dependency relationships are identified. Activities are given a duration, and an earliest start and finish date is determined, based on their dependency with previous activities. Latest start and finish dates (without incurring project delays) can be calculated once the network is complete, and indicate how much play there is in the system. [Pg.296]

In reality, aircraft parts can consist of several stacked layers of material, eonnected by rivets or bolts. To avoid corrosion, the layers are often protected by a special coating, so that there is no electrical connection between the layers. If there is a crack for example in the middle layer, no current will thus flow above or below the defect because of the insulating coating between the layers. There is only the possibility for the current to flow around the crack in the x-y... [Pg.259]

Furthermore VGInsight [16], a high-end tool for multi-volume and time-dependent volume raytracing is used for Virtual Reality inspection of the measured dataset. The package is running on a Quad-Pentium Pro System under the Linux Operating System. [Pg.495]

To proceed with the topic of this section. Refs. 250 and 251 provide oversights of the application of contemporary surface science and bonding theory to catalytic situations. The development of bimetallic catalysts is discussed in Ref. 252. Finally, Weisz [253] discusses windows on reality the acceptable range of rates for a given type of catalyzed reaction is relatively narrow. The reaction becomes impractical if it is too slow, and if it is too fast, mass and heat transport problems become limiting. [Pg.729]

The corresponding fiinctions i-, Xj etc. then define what are known as the normal coordinates of vibration, and the Hamiltonian can be written in tenns of these in precisely the fonn given by equation (AT 1.69). witli the caveat that each tenn refers not to the coordinates of a single particle, but rather to independent coordinates that involve the collective motion of many particles. An additional distinction is that treatment of the vibrational problem does not involve the complications of antisymmetry associated with identical fennions and the Pauli exclusion prmciple. Products of the nonnal coordinate fiinctions neveitlieless describe all vibrational states of the molecule (both ground and excited) in very much the same way that the product states of single-electron fiinctions describe the electronic states, although it must be emphasized that one model is based on independent motion and the other on collective motion, which are qualitatively very different. Neither model faithfully represents reality, but each serves as an extremely usefiil conceptual model and a basis for more accurate calculations. [Pg.35]

Figure A2.4.12 shows the two possibilities that can exist, m which the Galvani potential of the solution, (jig, lies between ( )(I) and ( )(n) and in which it lies below (or, equivalently, above) the Galvani potentials of the metals. It should be emphasized that figure A2.4.12 is highly schematic in reality the potential near the phase boundary in the solution changes initially linearly and then exponentially with distance away from the electrode surface, as we saw above. The other point is that we have assumed that (jig is a constant in the region between the two electrodes. This will only be true provided the two electrodes are iimnersed in the same solution and that no current is passing.

In our simple model, the expression in A2.4.135 corresponds to the activation energy for a redox process in which only the interaction between the central ion and the ligands in the primary solvation shell is considered, and this only in the fonn of the totally synnnetrical vibration. In reality, the rate of the electron transfer reaction is also infiuenced by the motion of molecules in the outer solvation shell, as well as by other... [Pg.605]

If the finite size of the system is ignored (after all, A is probably 10 or greater), the compressibility is essentially infinite at the critical point, and then so are the fluctuations. In reality, however, the compressibility diverges more sharply than classical theory allows (the exponent y is significantly greater dian 1), and thus so do the fluctuations. [Pg.647]

Linear response theory is an example of a microscopic approach to the foundations of non-equilibrium thennodynamics. It requires knowledge of tire Hamiltonian for the underlying microscopic description. In principle, it produces explicit fomuilae for the relaxation parameters that make up the Onsager coefficients. In reality, these expressions are extremely difficult to evaluate and approximation methods are necessary. Nevertheless, they provide a deeper insight into the physics. [Pg.708]

Although the transition to difhision control is satisfactorily described in such an approach, even for these apparently simple elementary reactions the situation in reality appears to be more complex due to the participation of weakly bonding or repulsive electronic states which may become increasingly coupled as the bath gas density increases. These processes manifest tliemselves in iodine atom and bromine atom recombination in some bath gases at high densities where marked deviations from TronnaF behaviour are observed [3, 4]. In particular, it is found that the transition from Lto is significantly broader than... [Pg.846]

Figure A3.9.9. Dissociation probability versus incident energy for D2 molecules incident on a Cu(l 11) surface for the initial quantum states indicated (u indicates the mitial vibrational state and J the initial rotational state) [100], For clarity, the saturation values have been scaled to the same value irrespective of the initial state, although in reality die saturation value is higher for the u = 1 state.

Figure A3,12.2(a) illnstrates the lifetime distribution of RRKM theory and shows random transitions among all states at some energy high enongh for eventual reaction (toward the right). In reality, transitions between quantum states (though coupled) are not equally probable some are more likely than others. Therefore, transitions between states mnst be snfficiently rapid and disorderly for the RRKM assumption to be mimicked, as qualitatively depicted in figure A3.12.2(b). The situation depicted in these figures, where a microcanonical ensemble exists at t = 0 and rapid IVR maintains its existence during the decomposition, is called intrinsic RRKM behaviour [9].

By expressing the mean-field interaction of an electron at r with the N- 1 other electrons in temis of a probability density pyy r ) that is independent of the fact that another electron resides at r, the mean-field models ignore spatial correlations among the electrons. In reality, as shown in figure B3.T5 the conditional probability density for finding one ofA - 1 electrons at r, given that one electron is at r depends on r. The absence of a spatial correlation is a direct consequence of the spin-orbital product nature of the mean-field wavefiinctions... [Pg.2163]

The tenn represents an externally applied potential field or the effects of the container walls it is usually dropped for fiilly periodic simulations of bulk systems. Also, it is usual to neglect v - and higher tenns (which m reality might be of order 10% of the total energy in condensed phases) and concentrate on For brevity henceforth we will just call this v(r). There is an extensive literature on the way these potentials are detennined experimentally, or modelled... [Pg.2243]

A number of experimental and physical realities cloud this rosy picture. Inevitably many emitted photons are lost due to the finite solid angle over which the fluorescence is collected, losses at the various filters, lenses, windows, and other... [Pg.2485]

In reality most solids in contact under macroscopic loads undergo irreversible plastic defonnation. This is caused by the fact that at high nonnal forces the stresses in the bulk of the solid below the contact points exceed the yield stress. Under these conditions the contact area expands until the integrated pressure across the contact area is equal to the nonnal force. Since the pressure is equal to the yield strength of the material cr, the plastic contact area is given by... [Pg.2742]

The separation of two surfaces in contact is resisted by adhesive forces. As the nonnal force is decreased, the contact regions pass from conditions of compressive to tensile stress. As revealed by JKR theory, surface tension alone is sufficient to ensure that there is a finite contact area between the two at zero nonnal force. One contribution to adhesion is the work that must be done to increase surface area during separation. If the surfaces have undergone plastic defonnation, the contact area will be even greater at zero nonnal force than predicted by JKR theory. In reality, continued plastic defonnation can occur during separation and also contributes to adhesive work. [Pg.2744]
