Over the past years the accuracy of molecular structure determination has increased. This is due not only to improved experimental and computational facilities, and to the combined application of various techniques, but also to a better understanding of the physical meaning of structural information from different sources. Critical assessment of structural information facilitates its application to investigate intramolecular and intermolecular interactions and their consequences on the rest of the molecular structure. Supramolecular chemistry poses new challenges to accurate molecular structure determination at various levels of complexity of chemical systems.

Define prompt critical, delayed critical, reactor period, source critical, and decay heat. 

A reactor is source critical If neutrons contributed by an installed neutron source are necessary to make K f = 1 and to maintain criticality. A neutron source contributes fast neutrons to the generation cycle, If the source is removed from a source critical reactor, the reactor v/ill become subcritical and shutdown. 

A reactor is source critical if K ff = 1 with a neutron source present. If the source is removed, the reactor is not self sustaining on its own neutrons and will shutdown. 

Describe primary and secondary neutron sources, critical loading experiment, and addition of a neutron source to a critical reactor. 

It should be pointed out that a gradient path can always be characterised and classified by the types of the two critical points that it manifestly connects. This was done exhaustively [13] and for the first time in 2003. This classification focuses on how many gradient paths can originate from a source critical point and how many gradient paths can terminate at the sink critical point.

A new acoustic emission system (AEBIL Acoustic Emission Binary Localizer) meeting the requirements for continuous on-line structural surveillance of critical conponents of operating plants Is described in the paper. The system is specifically designed to identify and locate structurally significant, spatially concentrated, AE sources in the presence of a high rate of spatially diffuse AE events. The system performance and reliability has been extensively demonstrated in In-plant applications. 

That analyticity was the source of the problem should have been obvious from the work of Onsager (1944) [16] who obtained an exact solution for the two-dimensional Ising model in zero field and found that the heat capacity goes to infinity at the transition, a logarithmic singularity tiiat yields a = 0, but not the a = 0 of the analytic theory, which corresponds to a finite discontinuity. (Wliile diverging at the critical point, the heat capacity is synnnetrical without an actual discontinuity, so perhaps should be called third-order.)... 

As source of infonnation we use the Surface Structure Database [14], a critical compilation of surface structures solved in detail, covering the period to the end of 1997. It contains 1113 structural detenninations with, on average, two detenninations for each stmcture thus there are approximately 550 distinct solved stnictures available. 

The critical requirements for the ion source are that the ions have a small energy spread, there are no fast neutrals in the beam and the available energy is 1-10 keV. Both noble gas and alkali ion sources are conunon. Por TOP experunents, it is necessary to pulse the ion beam by deflecting it past an aperture. A beam line for such experiments is shown in figure B1.23.5 it is capable of producing ion pulse widths of 15 ns. 

The controlled thermal decomposition of dry aromatic diazonium fluoborates to yield an aromatic fluoride, boron trifluoride and nitrogen is known as the Schiemann reaction. Most diazonium fluoborates have definite decomposition temperatures and the rates of decomposition, with few exceptions, are easily controlled. Another procedure for preparing the diazonium fluoborate is to diazotise in the presence of the fluoborate ion. Fluoboric acid may be the only acid present, thus acting as acid and source of fluoborate ion. The insoluble fluoborate separates as it is formed side reactions, such as phenol formation and coupling, are held at a minimum temperature control is not usually critical and the temperature may rise to about 20° without ill effect efficient stirring is, however, necessary since a continuously thickening precipitate is formed as the reaction proceeds. The modified procedure is illustrated by the preparation of -fluoroanisole ... 

The critical value for f(0.05,4), as found in Appendix IB, is 2.78. Since fexp is greater than f(0.05, 4), we must reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis. At the 95% confidence level the difference between X and p, is significant and cannot be explained by indeterminate sources of error. There is evidence, therefore, that the results are affected by a determinate source of error.

The various stages of this process depend critically on the type of gas, its pressure, and the configuration of the electrodes. (Their distance apart and their shapes control the size and shape of the applied electric field.) By controlling the various parameters, the discharge can be made to operate as a corona, a plasma, or an arc at atmospheric pressure. All three discharges can be used as ion sources in mass spectrometry. 

Above about 250°C, the vapor-phase oxidation (VPO) of many organic substances becomes self-sustaining. Such oxidations are characterized by a lengthy induction period. During this period, peroxides accumulate until they can provide a source of new radicals to sustain a chain reaction. Once a critical threshold peroxide concentration is reached, the reaction accelerates very rapidly.
