A theoretical dimensionality of the hyperspace of independent chemical sensor features has been estimated to be 1021 (Fig. 21.1) and includes the permutations of varying sensing materials, transducer principles, and modes of operation for each sensor/transducer combination.13 As shown in the present book, all types of sensing materials have been explored with combinatorial technologies, which demonstrates the desire of the sensing community for the accelerated development of sensing materials using newly introduced research tools. 

The oceanographic and remote sensing communities recently lost a valued colleague. Dr. Erik John Bock, of the University of Heidelberg, Germany. Erik died unexpectedly near his home in Obrigheim, Germany on June 25, 2001, of injuries suffered in a bicycle accident. He was 39 years old. 

In a general sense, communication will be positive if the mediator enhances growth or leads to favourable modification of the behaviour of the receiving oiganism. Such a supply may lead to commensalism, proto-cooperation and eventually symbiosis. Interaction is said to be negative when the mediator is toxic in itself (antibiotic, antiseptic or toxic) or brings about a lethal metabolic or behavioural modification in the receiver. 

QuaHtative arguments deal primarily with the sense of ownership and security which result from individually owned generation systems. Additional complexity will arise from the aesthetic criteria specific to both individual homes and the surrounding community. Of course, the autonomy inherent in distributed rooftop arrays probably constitutes an institutional barrier to their acceptance by some utiHty companies, unless they are involved in the financing and/or marketing chain. 

Shock-compression processes are encountered when material bodies are subjected to rapid impulsive loading, whose time of load application is short compared to the time for the body to respond inertially. The inertial responses are stress pulses propagating through the body to communicate the presence of loads to interior points. In our everyday experience, such loadings are the result of impact or explosion. To the untrained observer, such events evoke an image of utter chaos and confusion. Nevertheless, what is experienced by the human senses are the rigid-body effects the time and pressure resolution are not sufficient to sense the wave phenomena. 

Some parepistemes are pursued by small worldwide groups whose members all know each other, others involve vast communities which, to preserve their sanity, need to sub-classify themselves into numerous subsets. They all seem to share the feature, however, that they are not disciplines in the sense that I have analysed these... 

When we refer to water purification, it makes little sense to discuss the subject without first identifying the contaminants that we wish to remove from water. Also, the source of the water is of importance. Our discussion at this point focuses on drinking water. Groundwater sources are of a particular concern, because there are many communities throughout the U.S. that rely on this form. The following are some of the major contaminants that are of concern in water purification applications, as applied to drinking water sources, derived from groundwater. 

The safety alert concept may also have a downside. Let s say that after an incident, the company management agrees that parts of the investigation and incident circumstances should be communicated to all workers in the company. After all, if we communicate the existence of a potential danger, we should be able to eliminate the injury in the future. To some, this is just common sense and can be considered a no brainer. However, at a later date, should another employee of that same company suffer a similar injury, what do you think the outcome might be The injured worker (or his lawyer) might be able to prove that the company was negligent because it knew of the problem (as shown in the safety alert) but failed to adequately address it. 

As described earlier, in the first stage of perception, information is acquired via the senses from a number of sources. These may include gauges and chart recorders, VDU screens in a control room, verbal communication with individuals on the plant, or direct observation of process variables. In the short term, this information provides feedback with regard to specific control actions. 

In a more quantitative sense, cause-consequence analysis may be viewed as a blend of fault tree end event tree analysis (discussed in tlie two preceding cliapters) for evaluating potential accidents. A major strengtli of cause-consequence analysis is its use as a communication tool. For example, a cause-consequence diagram displays the interrelationships between tlie accident outcomes (consequences) and Uieir basic causes. The method can be used to quantify the expected frequency of occurrence of the consequences if the appropriate chita are available. 

Merger of the ALEE and the IRE in 1963 into the Institution of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) preseiwed in its name a sense of the earlier bifurcation of the profession, but in fact the lines had become quite blurred and the numerous constituent societies drew and continue to draw from both traditions. At the end of the centuiy, the IEEE was easily the largest professional organization in the world with membership over 350,000. Its thirty-six constituent societies provided an indication of the degree to which electricity has pervaded the modern world, ranging from Communications and Lasers Electron... 

Socicty" is used in a generic sense here. Depending on conicxt, society may mean society at large. It may mean a local community, corporation, operating division of a company or corporation, or it may mean the immediate association of employees or personnel. 

The Disparity of a Solution. We may begin to use the word disparity in a technical sense, for the quantity defined above, and to speak of d as the disparity of the solution when the mole fraction of the solute is x. In dilute ionic solutions the sign of d is always negative. The effect of the interionic forces is that ions added to a dilute solution always lose more free energy than they would when added to the corresponding ideal solution hence the total communal term is less than the cratic term.
