Sensing support

N------N02 sense. Support for this comes from the fact that nitrous acid (rather... 

Supports used for obtaining Ziegler-Natta catalysts can differ essentially from one another. Some of the supports may contain reactive surface groups (such as hydroxyl groups present in specially prepared metal oxides) while others do not contain such reactive functional groups (such as pure anhydrous metal chlorides). Therefore, the term supported catalyst is used in a very wide sense. Supported catalysts comprise not only systems in which the transition metal compound is linked to the support by means of a chemical covalent bond but also systems in which the transition metal atom may occupy a position in a lattice structure, or where complexation, absorption or even occlusion may take place [28]. The transition metal may also be anchored to the support via a Lewis base in such a case the metal complexes the base, which is coordinatively fixed on the support surface [53,54]. 

Electroinactive species — Ions and neutral compounds that show no signal in electrochemical measurements. In this sense, -> supporting electrolyte ions are electroinactive at least in the potential window. However, note that whether a species is electroactive or not should depend on the electrode used and measurement conditions. For example, tetramethylammonium ion is electroinactive at conventional electrodes, but electroactive at the interface between two immiscible electrolyte solutions, where it gives a voltammetric wave for transfer across the interface. 

Edward Casey has reminded me that there are numerous schools of phenomenology and many senses of "phenomenological." It may be that at most one of those senses supports my claim here. I thank Casey for his generous and forbearing comments on my would-be phenomenological material. 

HBA. The T p values display minima, coincident with the temperatures of the y and p relaxations previously observed by dielectric and dynamic mechanical analysis. The Tjp - temperature data have been fitted to the Cole-Davidson distribution function, which indicates a broad distribution of correlation times. The activation energies obtained from the fitting are higher than from dielectric data, but, in a qualitative sense support the contention that the y relaxation is associated with the motion of HBA units, and the p relaxation with the motion of HNA units. 

Introduction and commercial application Safety and the environment have become important elements of all parts of the field life cycle, and involve all of the technical and support functions in an oil company. The Piper Alpha disaster in the North Sea in 1988 has resulted in a major change in the approach to management of safety of world-wide oil and gas exploration and production activities. Companies recognise that good safety and environmental management make economic sense and are essential to guaranteeing long term presence in the industry. 

Process-variable feedback for the controller is achieved by one of two methods. The process variable can (I) be measured and transmitted to the controller by using a separate measurement transmitter with a 0.2-I.0-bar (3-15-psi pneumatic output, or (2) be sensed directly by the controller, which contains the measurement sensor within its enclosure. Controllers with integral sensing elements are available that sense pressure, differential pressure, temperature, and level. Some controller designs have the set point adjustment knob in the controller, making set point adjustment a local and manual operation. Other types receive a set point from a remotely located pneumatic source, such as a manual air set regulator or another controller, to achieve set point adjustment. There are versions of the pneumatic controller that support the useful one-, two-, and three-mode combinations of proportional, integral, and derivative actions. Other options include auto/manual transfer stations, antireset windup circuitry, on/off control, and process-variable and set point indicators. 

Polymer-based, synthetic ion-exchangers known as resins are available commercially in gel type or truly porous forms. Gel-type resins are not porous in the usual sense of the word, since their structure depends upon swelhng in the solvent in which they are immersed. Removal of the solvent usually results in a collapse of the three-dimensional structure, and no significant surface area or pore diameter can be defined by the ordinaiy techniques available for truly porous materials. In their swollen state, gel-type resins approximate a true molecular-scale solution. Thus, we can identify an internal porosity p only in terms of the equilibrium uptake of water or other liquid. When crosslinked polymers are used as the support matrix, the internal porosity so defined varies in inverse proportion to the degree of crosslinkiug, with swelhng and therefore porosity typically being more... 

Enzymatic Reactors Adding free enzyme to a batch reactor is practical only when the value of the enzyme is relatively low. With expensive enzymes, reuse by retaining the enzyme with some type of support makes great economic sense. As some activity is usually lost in tethering the enzyme and the additional operations cost money, stabihty is very important. However, many enzymes are stabilized by immobilization thus, many reuses may be possible. 

An appreciation of statistical results can be gained from a study conducted to support the first application of computer control for an ethylene oxide production unit at Union Carbide Corporation in 1958. For the above purpose, twenty years of production experience with many units was correlated by excellent statisticians who had no regard for kinetics or chemistry. In spite of this, they did excellent, although entirely empirical work. One statement they made was ... [ethane has a significant effect on ethylene oxide production.] This was rejected by most technical people because it did not appear to make any sense ethane did not react, did not chemisorb, and went through the reactor unchanged. 

One of the most common mistakes in closing a sale is forgetting to ask for the business. Even sales professionals make this error, sometimes out of a misplaced sense of nicety or a reluctance to appear pushy. In the case of selling PSM, you are asking for senior-level support of an important initiative. You will need this support to be effective and you should not hesitate to request it explicitly. 

As every experienced manager knows, for systems to work, they must be "ours " they are endorsed, or "owned," by the people who use them. In fact, virtually every management system—PSM included—is effective in direct proportion to the degree of this sense of ownership or investment. Since the PSM system will affect so many people in your company, it s important that you make the effort to gain their understanding and support.
