In all other cases the quantity / calculated from the specific surface is a mean diameter. Unless there is some definite and detailed evidence as to particle shape, the simplest such diameter to aim at is the mean diameter obtained by substituting the measured value of A in Equation (1.79)... 

Peel tests are accompHshed using many different geometries. In the simplest peel test, the T-peel test, the adherends are identical in size, shape, and thickness. Adherends are attached at thek ends to a tensile testing machine and then separated in a "T" fashion. The temperature of the test, as well as the rate of adherend separation, is specified. The force requked to open the adhesive bond is measured and the results are reported in terms of newtons per meter (pounds per inch, ppi). There are many other peel test configurations, each dependent upon the adhesive appHcation. Such tests are well described in the ASTM hterature. 

In sohd—sohd separation, the soHds are separated iato fractions according to size, density, shape, or other particle property (see Size reduction). Sedimentation is also used for size separation, ie, classification of soHds (see Separation, size separation). One of the simplest ways to remove the coarse or dense soHds from a feed suspension is by sedimentation. Successive decantation ia a batch system produces closely controUed size fractions of the product. Generally, however, particle classification by sedimentation does not give sharp separation (see Size MEASUREMENT OF PARTICLES). 

Vitreous silica is used for gas-heated or electrically heated devices ia various shapes, eg, as a tube or muffle because of its electrical resistivity, impermeabihty, and low expansion. In its simplest form, an electric-resistance furnace consists of a vitreous siUca tube or pipe on which the resistance element is wound (see Furnaces, ELECTRIC). Because of its iadifference to temperature gradients, a tubular furnace of vitreous siUca maybe made to operate at different temperatures at various portions of the tube, either by arrangement of the heating elements or by cooling sections of the tube with water. Vitreous siUca pipes may be employed ia vacuum-iaduction and gas-fired furnaces (see Vacuum technology) (221). 

A nucleic acid can never code for a single protein molecule that is big enough to enclose and protect it. Therefore, the protein shell of viruses is built up from many copies of one or a few polypeptide chains. The simplest viruses have just one type of capsid polypeptide chain, which forms either a rod-shaped or a roughly spherical shell around the nucleic acid. The simplest such viruses whose three-dimensional structures are known are plant and insect viruses the rod-shaped tobacco mosaic virus, the spherical satellite tobacco necrosis virus, tomato bushy stunt virus, southern bean mosaic vims. 

Figure 16.1 Viruses vary in size and shape from the simplest satellite viruses (a) that need another virus for their replication to the T-even bacteriophages (d) that have developed sophisticated mechanisms for injecting DNA into bacteria. Four different virus particles are shown to scale.

The simplest diffraction measurement is the determination of the surface or overlayer unit mesh size and shape. This can be performed by inspection of the diffraction pattern at any energy of the incident beam (see Figure 4). The determination is simplest if the electron beam is incident normal to the surface, because the symmetry of the pattern is then preserved. The diffraction pattern determines only the size and shape of the unit mesh. The positions of atoms in the surface cannot be determined from visual inspection of the diffraction pattern, but must be obtained from an analysis of the intensities of the diffracted beams. Generally, the intensity in a diffracted beam is measured as a fimction of the incident-beam energy at several diffraction geometries. These intensity-versus-energy curves are then compared to model calculations. ... 

There are at least four kinds of information available from an Auger spectrum. The simplest and by far most frequently used is qualitative information, indicating which elements are present within the sampling volume of the measurement. Next there is quantitative information, which requires a little more care during acquisition to make it extractable, and a little more effort to extract it, but which tells how much of each of the elements is present. Third, there is chemical information which shows the chemical state in which these elements are present. Last, but by far the least used, there is information on the electronic structure of the material, such as the valance-band density of states that is folded into the line shape of transitions involving valance-band electrons. There are considerations to keep in mind in extracting each of these kinds of information. 

Liquids are able to flow. Complicated stream patterns arise, dependent on geometric shape of the surrounding of the liquid and of the initial conditions. Physicists tend to simplify things by considering well-defined situations. What could be the simplest configurations where flow occurs Suppose we had two parallel plates and a liquid drop squeezed in between. Let us keep the lower plate at rest and move the upper plate at constant velocity in a parallel direction, so that the plate separation distance keeps constant. Near each of the plates, the velocities of the liquid and the plate are equal due to the friction between plate and liquid. Hence a velocity field that describes the stream builds up, (Fig. 15). In the simplest case the velocity is linear in the spatial coordinate perpendicular to the plates. It is a shear flow, as different planes of liquid slide over each other. This is true for a simple as well as for a complex fluid. But what will happen to the mesoscopic structure of a complex fluid How is it affected Is it destroyed or can it even be built up For a review of theories and experiments, see Ref. 122. Let us look into some recent works. 

The processes of electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation are membrane-associated. Bacteria are the simplest life form, and bacterial cells typically consist of a single cellular compartment surrounded by a plasma membrane and a more rigid cell wall. In such a system, the conversion of energy from NADH and [FADHg] to the energy of ATP via electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation is carried out at (and across) the plasma membrane. In eukaryotic cells, electron transport and oxidative phosphorylation are localized in mitochondria, which are also the sites of TCA cycle activity and (as we shall see in Chapter 24) fatty acid oxidation. Mammalian cells contain from 800 to 2500 mitochondria other types of cells may have as few as one or two or as many as half a million mitochondria. Human erythrocytes, whose purpose is simply to transport oxygen to tissues, contain no mitochondria at all. The typical mitochondrion is about 0.5 0.3 microns in diameter and from 0.5 micron to several microns long its overall shape is sensitive to metabolic conditions in the cell. 

The simplest shape for the cavity is a sphere or possibly an ellipsoid. This has the advantage that the electrostatic interaction between M and the dielectric medium may be calculated analytically. More realistic models employ moleculai shaped cavities, generated for example by interlocking spheres located on each nuclei. Taking the atomic radius as a suitable factor (typical value is 1.2) times a van der Waals radius defines a van der Waals surface. Such a surface may have small pockets where no solvent molecules can enter, and a more appropriate descriptor may be defined as the surface traced out by a spherical particle of a given radius rolling on the van der Waals surface. This is denoted the Solvent Accessible Surface (SAS) and illustrated in Figm e 16.7.

The simplest and most widely used method of increasing the film temperature is to pass the coating through a convected hot-air oven. This is relatively inefficient, but effective with articles varying widely in shape and size. If... 

It is easily seen that for given m there exists only one ring-shaped C-graph with m vertices. The construction described in Sec. 37 defines a topologically unique C-H graph For a given m there exists with respect to structure exactly one purely ring-shaped cycloparaffin. It is, in the simplest case w 3, the above (Secs. 56 - 58) discussed cyclopropane. 

In studying the most familiar electrolytes, we have to deal with various molecular ions as well as atomic ions. The simplest molecular solute particle is a diatomic molecule that has roughly the same size and shape as two solvent particles in contact, and which goes into solution by occupying any two adjacent places that, in the pure solvent, are occupied by two adjacent solvent particles. This solution is formed by a process of substitution, but not by simple one-for-one substitution. There are two cases to discuss either the solute molecule is homonuclear, of-the type Bi, or it is heteronuclear, of the type BC. In either case let the number of solute molecules be denoted by nB, the number of solvent particles being nt. In the substitution process, each position occupied by a solvent particle is a possible position for one half of a solute molecule, and it is convenient to speak of each such position as a site, although in a liquid this site is, of course, not located at a fixed point in space.
