Note that the rate law in this case depends only on kj and any size dependence for this constant would not cancel out. 

During Stage II the growing particles maintain a nearly constant monomer concentration. The concentration of monomer is particle-size dependent, with smaller particles having lower concentrations (28). 

The energy threshold appears to be dependent on the excitation spot size at constant pump intensity, which indicates that amplification occurs over the whole illuminated area. It should be stated that, despite the large domains, the optical quality within the domains is lower than that of the annealed films. This gives rise to additional scattering losses which decrease the magnitude of the amplification. 

From this set of standard size screening constants it is possible to obtain screening constants for any atom or ion for any property dependent mainly on the behaviour of the electrons in the outer parts of their orbits. The constants can probably be trusted to be accurate to within about 10% of the quantum defect, for example, Ss values for M levels to within 1. In case that empirical data are available for some atoms or ions of a sequence it is well to use them to correct the screening constants. 

The question arises as to how useful atomistic models may be in predicting the phase behaviour of real liquid crystal molecules. There is some evidence that atomistic models may be quite promising in this respect. For instance, in constant pressure simulations of CCH5 [25, 26] stable nematic and isotropic phases are seen at the right temperatures, even though the simulations of up to 700 ps are too short to observe spontaneous formation of the nematic phase from the isotropic liquid. However, at the present time one must conclude that atomistic models can only be expected to provide qualitative data about individual systems rather than quantitative predictions of phase transition temperatures. Such predictions must await simulations on larger systems, where the system size dependency has been eliminated, and where constant... 

One of the apparent results of introducing couple stress is the size-dependent effect. If the problem scale approaches molecular dimension, this effect is obvious and can be characterized by the characteristic length 1. The size effect is a distinctive property while the film thickness of EHL is down to the nanometre scale, where the exponent index of the film thickness to the velocity does not remain constant, i.e., the film thickness, if plotted as a function of velocity in logarithmic scale, will not follow the straight line proposed by Ham-rock and Dowson. This bridges the gap between the lubrication theory and the experimental results.

Stresses can can be concentrated by various mechanisms. Perhaps the most simple of these is the one used by Zener (1946) to explain the grain size dependence of the yield stresses of polycrystals. This is the case of the shear crack which was studied by Inglis (1913). Consider a penny-shaped plane region in an elastic material of diameter, D, on which slip occurs freely and which has a radius of curvature, p at its edge. Then the shear stress concentration factor at its edge will be = (D/p)1/2.The shear stress needed to cause plastic shear is given by a proportionality constant, a times the elastic shear modulus,... 

The liquid phase reaction, 2A B, is conducted in a PER with recycle. The density remains constant. Find how conversion and the reactor size depend on the recycle ratio. 

If the electrode reaction (1.1) is kinetically controlled, the response depends on both the parameter p and the kinetic parameter k [26,27]. If the electrode size is constant and the frequency is varied, both parameters p and k ate changed. Also, if a certain reaction is measured at constant frequency, with a range of microelectrodes having various diameters, the apparent reversibility of the reaction decreases with the decreasing diameter because of radial diffusion. So, the relationship between... 

Vesicle size was found to affect reaction kinetics for the alkaline hydrolysis and thiolysis of p-nitrophenyl octanoate, with small vesicles being more effective as catalysts, and it was concluded that this size dependence itself was brought about by differences in ion dissociation, substrate binding constants, and intrinsic reactiv-... 

If the size dependence of CB by the Gibbs-Thomson effect can be ignored, k is a constant for all particles in a system, and dr/dt increases linearly with r. From Eq. (12),... 

Mie calculations with the optical constants of water given in Fig. 10.3 are shown in Fig. 11.3 extinction and absorption are plotted logarithmically, photon energy linearly. The bulk absorption coefficient of water is shown in Fig. 11.3 c. Because many of the extinction features of water and MgO, both of which are insulators, are similar, we present calculations for a single water droplet (in air) with radius 1.0 jam. Size-dependent spectral feature.4 are therefore not obscured as they are for a distribution of radii. 

The derivation presented above was performed using the basic wavelet with constant size. The same derivation is possible [20] using wavelets where the size depends on the wavelength...
