Responding

Erythromycin is active against gram-positive and certain gram-negative bacteria, also against Rickettsia and spirochaetes. It is used for patients who are allergic to or do not respond to treatment with penicillins or tetracyclines. 

Note that in liquid phase chromatography there are no detectors that are both sensitive and universal, that is, which respond linearly to solute concentration regardless of its chemical nature. In fact, the refractometer detects all solutes but it is not very sensitive its response depends evidently on the difference in refractive indices between solvent and solute whereas absorption and UV fluorescence methods respond only to aromatics, an advantage in numerous applications. Unfortunately, their coefficient of response (in ultraviolet, absorptivity is the term used) is highly variable among individual components. 

Because the neutron tool responds to hydrogen it can be used to differentiate between gas and liquids (oil or water) in the formation. A specific volume of gas will contain a lot fewer hydrogen atoms than the same volume of oil or water (at the same pressure), and therefore in a gas bearing reservoir the neutron porosity (which assumes the tool is... 

Reservoir engineers describe the relationship between the volume of fluids produced, the compressibility of the fluids and the reservoir pressure using material balance techniques. This approach treats the reservoir system like a tank, filled with oil, water, gas, and reservoir rock in the appropriate volumes, but without regard to the distribution of the fluids (i.e. the detailed movement of fluids inside the system). Material balance uses the PVT properties of the fluids described in Section 5.2.6, and accounts for the variations of fluid properties with pressure. The technique is firstly useful in predicting how reservoir pressure will respond to production. Secondly, material balance can be used to reduce uncertainty in volumetries by measuring reservoir pressure and cumulative production during the producing phase of the field life. An example of the simplest material balance equation for an oil reservoir above the bubble point will be shown In the next section. 

Natural water drive occurs when the underlying aquifer is both large (typically greater than ten times the oil volume) and the water is able to flow Into the oil column, i.e. it has a communication path and sufficient permeability. If these conditions are satisfied, then once production from the oil column creates a pressure drop the aquifer responds by expanding, and water moves into the oil column to replace the voidage created by production. Since the water compressibility is low, the volume of water must be large to make this process effective, hence the need for the large connected aquifer. 

As the gas is produced, the pressure in the reservoir drops, and the aquifer responds to this by expanding and moving into the gas column. As the gas water contact moves up, the risk of coning water into the well Increases, hence the need to initially place the perforations as high as possible in the reservoir.

In order to be able to respond fully to the study of the spatial and angular relations between the back-ground of the image and the defects, we opted for the Co-Occurrence Matrix using spatial gray level dependence method. 

In addition these directives had to be decided unanimously by the European Council which made their adoption cumbersome and slow. These directives are now referred to as old approach directives. A radical change was needed so that the Community legislation could respond to the needs of both, the completion of the internal market for the products concerned, and the need to offer to industry a flexible legislative environment which would encourage technical progress. 

There are difficulties in making such cells practical. High-band-gap semiconductors do not respond to visible light, while low-band-gap ones are prone to photocorrosion [182, 185]. In addition, both photochemical and entropy or thermodynamic factors limit the ideal efficiency with which sunlight can be converted to electrical energy [186]. 

The importance of the particle levitation methods is that they allow the study of how a single particle responds to changes in environment. The infrared molecular spectroscopy of single particles is possible [253], as are photophysical studies using adsorbed or dissolved dyes. 

One common approximation is to separate the nuclear and electronic degrees of freedom. Since the nuclei are considerably more massive than the electrons, it can be assumed that the electrons will respond mstantaneously to the nuclear coordinates. This approximation is called the Bom-Oppenlieimer or adiabatic approximation. It allows one to treat the nuclear coordinates as classical parameters. For most condensed matter systems, this assumption is highly accurate [11, 12]. 

Metals are fiindamentally different from insulators as they possess no gap in the excitation spectra. Under the influence of an external field, electrons can respond by readily changing from one k state to another. The ease by which the ground-state configuration is changed accounts for the high conductivity of metals. 

Surfaces are found to exliibit properties that are different from those of the bulk material. In the bulk, each atom is bonded to other atoms m all tliree dimensions. In fact, it is this infinite periodicity in tliree dimensions that gives rise to the power of condensed matter physics. At a surface, however, the tliree-dimensional periodicity is broken. This causes the surface atoms to respond to this change in their local enviromnent by adjusting tiieir geometric and electronic structures. The physics and chemistry of clean surfaces is discussed in section Al.7.2. 

Infrared and Raman spectroscopy each probe vibrational motion, but respond to a different manifestation of it. Infrared spectroscopy is sensitive to a change in the dipole moment as a function of the vibrational motion, whereas Raman spectroscopy probes the change in polarizability as the molecule undergoes vibrations. Resonance Raman spectroscopy also couples to excited electronic states, and can yield fiirtlier infomiation regarding the identity of the vibration. Raman and IR spectroscopy are often complementary, both in the type of systems tliat can be studied, as well as the infomiation obtained.

Electrochemical methods may be classified into two broad classes, namely potentiometric metiiods and voltannnetric methods. The fonner involves the measurement of the potential of a working electrode iimnersed in a solution containing a redox species of interest with respect to a reference electrode. These are equilibrium experiments involving no current flow and provide themiodynamic infomiation only. The potential of the working electrode responds in a Nemstian maimer to the activity of the redox species, whilst that of the reference electrode remains constant. In contrast, m voltannnetric methods the system is perturbed... 

The fimdamental disadvantage of the mean-field method is that it does not allow modes to respond in a correlated maimer to each other. This problem can be somewhat alleviated by a good definition of the relevant coordinate system [134. 136]. (An extension of mean-field methods that does allow for coupling [137. 138 and 139] will be discussed later.)...

Excitable media are some of tire most commonly observed reaction-diffusion systems in nature. An excitable system possesses a stable fixed point which responds to perturbations in a characteristic way small perturbations return quickly to tire fixed point, while larger perturbations tliat exceed a certain tlireshold value make a long excursion in concentration phase space before tire system returns to tire stable state. In many physical systems tliis behaviour is captured by tire dynamics of two concentration fields, a fast activator variable u witli cubic nullcline and a slow inhibitor variable u witli linear nullcline [31]. The FitzHugh-Nagumo equation [34], derived as a simple model for nerve impulse propagation but which can also apply to a chemical reaction scheme [35], is one of tire best known equations witli such activator-inlribitor kinetics ...
