Simple objects

For now, just accept the fact that diffraction by a sphere produces this pattern, and think of it as the diffraction signature of a sphere. In a sense, you are already equipped to do very simple structure determination that is, you can now recognize a simple sphere by its diffraction pattern. 

Because the real lattice spacing is inversely proportional to the spacing of reflections, crystallographers can calculate the dimensions, in angstroms, of the unit cell of the crystalline material from the spacings of the reciprocal lattice on the X-ray film (Chapter 4). The simplicity of this relationship is a dramatic example of how the macroscopic dimensions of the diffraction pattern are connected to the submicroscopic dimensions of the crystal.

Rather than the separation function, resolution between individual peak pairs is used in most automated optimization procedures because it is easier to calculate, although non-Gaussian pe2dcs and overlapping peaks can present problems due to the difficulty of estimating peak widths. A simple objective function would be to consider only the separation between the worst separated peak pair, ignoring all others. If a set of...

In a complex model, we find a few attributes, such as pocket, insufficient, and we tend to use pictorial attributes instead. But the idea is the same the model is principally there to explain the effects of the actions. We can use the same principle to describe small, simple objects and large, complex systems. Of course, the large complex systems will need a few more tools for managing complexity and structuring a specification, but the underlying ideas will be the same. 

The actions are specified in terms of their effects on the participants, of which our component is one. For that purpose, each participant has a model. For simple objects, it may be... 

The behavior of anything from a simple object to a large, complex system can be specified with a type specification, which has actions specified in terms of a model. The rules for joining and subtyping can be described as operations that you perform on the specifi-... 

Balloons have been part of our everyday lives from birthdays to graduations. As with many simple objects, their origin is unknown. Balloon-like objects have been part of ancient stories and probably were initially used in sport. These early balloons were made of animal bladders and intestines, both being protein-based, and hence polymeric. European jesters inflated the animal entrails using them to entertain others. Galileo inflated a pig s bladder to help measure the weight of air. 

The NEB method is an example of what has been called a chain-of-states method. The common feature is that several images of the system are connected together to trace out a path of some sort. The simple object fimction for a chain... 

In most materials selection processes, it is virtually impossible to make materials choices independent of the product shape. This includes not only the macroscopic, or bulk, shape of the object such as hammer or pressure relief valve, but also the internal or microscopic shape, such as a honeycomb structure or a continuous-fiber-reinforced composite. Shape is so important because in order to achieve it, the material must be subjected to a specific processing step. In Chapter 7, we saw how even simple objects made from a single-phase metal alloy could be formed by multiple processes such as casting or forging, and how these processing steps can affect the ultimate properties of the material. As illustrated in Figure 8.6, function dictates the choice of... 

Proposition 6.11 has many applications. One is the fact that a character completely determines a representation. Compared to representations, characters are relatively simple objects — complex-valued functions on the group. Yet they carry all the information about the representation T. 

The most important thing is to get the microspheres evenly distributed in the polymer matrix. It is therfore recommended to vibrate fluid compositions in the mold, especially in the case of large articles 2). Since molding compositions do not easily fill the molds, tamping and low pressures (0.5-2 MPa) are used for small, simple objects, while the molds for large or complicated objects are filled layer by layer1). The molds are made from plastic, reinforced with metal, wood or fibre their surfaces are degreased or covered with a separation layer. 

You can develop some visual intuition for the information available from X-ray diffraction by examining the diffraction patterns of simple objects like spheres or arrays of spheres (Figs. 2.7-2.10). Figure 2.7 depicts diffraction by a single sphere, shown in cross section on the left. The diffraction pattern, on... 

Notice the starlike six-fold symmetry of the diffraction pattern. Again, just accept this pattern as the diffraction signature of a hexagon of spheres. (Now you know enough to recognize two simple objects by their diffraction patterns.) Figure 2.10 depicts diffraction by these hexagonal objects in a lattice of the same dimensions as that in Fig. 2.8. 

If the number of residues per turn is not integral, then the diffraction pattern is much more complex. For example, a protein alpha helix has 3.6 residues per turn, which means 18 residues in five turns. The diffraction pattern for a discrete helix of simple objects (say, points) with these dimensions has layer lines at all spacings Z = (18m + 5a)/5P, where m and a are integers, and the diffraction pattern will repeat every 18 layer lines. But of course, protein alpha helix does not contain 3.6 simple points per turn, but instead 3.6 complex groups of atoms per turn. Combined with the rapid drop-off of diffraction intensity at higher diffraction angles, this makes for diffraction patterns that are too complex for detailed analysis. 

Creativity and the gift of using simple objects to produce works of art caused me to choose a trade in which I could use my skills. I finished my education as a decorator (interior design) in... 

This was merely the first step in developing an account of truth, hi this section and the following one the account will be further elaborated through the consideration of a number of objections. Some of the objections will be similar to the ones raised in connection with the notion of reference and will be dealt similarly. Some will be brand new. I will first discuss two relatively simple objections, and then move to the deep and dangerous waters. 

Exposures to solvents occur throughout life from conception to death. Solvent vapors inhaled by the mother often reach the fetus. The elderly often spend their last days in the hospital where the odor of the solvents, disinfectants often prevails. Exposures also occur in the course of daily living. Exposures may range from the inhalation of vapors from a newspaper freshly off the news stand, to the intake of the cleaning solvent by all routes of exposure being used. Effects from the exposure may range from simple objection to a low concentration odor, to death at high concentrations. In between, there is a whole spectrum of effects. 

We recall that a simple object of an abelian category is an object different from zero with no proper subobjects different from zero (of. [17], page 337) now we describe simple objects in N,...
