The third approaeh to synthetic polymers is of somewhat less commereial importance. There is in fact no universally accepted deseription for the route but the terms rearrangement polymerisation and polyaddition are commonly used. In many respects this process is intermediate between addition and condensation polymerisations. As with the former teehnique there is no moleeule split out but the kinetics are akin to the latter. A typical example is the preparation of polyurethanes by interaction of diols (di-alcohols, glycols) with di-isocyanates Figure 2.7). 

The theory of electrolytic dissociation was not immediately recognized universally, despite the fact that it could qualitatively and quantitatively explain certain fundamental properties of electrolyte solutions. For many scientists the reasons for spontaneous dissociation of stable compounds were obscure. Thus, an energy of about 770kJ/mol is required to break up the bonds in the lattice of NaCl, and about 430kJ/mol is required to split H l bonds during the formation of hydrochloric acid solution. Yet the energy of thermal motions in these compounds is not above lOkJ/mol. It was the weak point of Arrhenius s theory that this mismatch could not be explained. 

Verification is the complement of calibration model predictions are compared to field observations that were not used in calibration or fidelity testing. This is usually the second half of split-sample testing procedures, where the universe of data is divided (either in space or time), with a portion of the data used for calibration/fidelity check and the remainder used for verification. In essence, verification is an independent test of how well the model (with its calibrated parameters) is representing the important processes occurring in the natural system. Although field and environmental conditions are often different during the verification step, parameters determined during calibration are not adjusted for verification. 

The discussions in Sections 7.1 through 7.4 paint a picture of the difficult ordeal of generating hydrogen and oxygen by splitting water using available materials and the universally available sunlight in a stable and efficient manner. 

T. D. Thomas (Princeton University) The sodium nitroprusside proposed has a splitting of about 2 mm./sec., whereas one has experiments that seem to go to 50 mm./sec. 

H. Stockier (Rutgers University) Can you explain the splitting of tin oxide (Sn02) as being caused by the diflFerence in the several kinds of tin-oxygen bonds present ... 

Esr spectroscopy has been used extensively in connection with the problem of radical stabilization. Two properties of the radicals are analysed to obtain information on their stability spin-density distribution and lifetime. The former has a solid physical basis in hyperfine splitting and the universally accepted hypothesis that spin delocalization accords stability to a free radical (for a discussion, see Walton, 1984). The more the unpaired spin density is delocalized, the higher is, supposedly, the stability of the radical. This argument, as we shall see, is mainly used on a qualitative basis (see. 

A symmetric function in Xi, which is a polynomial in Cd Eys, defines a well-defined cohomology class in H X). Though c E) is not necessarily factored in H X), we could think as if Xi s are well-defined classes when we want to prove a universal formula involving Chern classes. This follows from the splitting principle. For example, we could define the Chern character by... 

Ex situ (also known as spotted or printed) arrays have become very popular formats, especially for the building of custom noncommercial arrays used primarily by academic laboratories [see Association of Biomolecular Resource Facilities (ABRF) surveys on microarrays atwww.abrf.org]. The printed cDNA microarray was largely developed from gene expression work originating in the laboratories of RO. Brown and R.W. Davis at Stanford University (Schena et al., 1995). Plans for the construction of the microarrayer and split pin designs were available at the Brown lab website at http //cmgm.stanford.edu/ pbrown/mguide/index.html. This enabled researchers to prepare their own microarrays appropriate for their particular experiments. 

During collapse, which lasts only a split second, the temperature goes up to 10 billion K, as it was in the infant Universe when it was barely 1 second old. The density exceeds that of an atomic nucleus (10 g cm ). Compressed like a spring, the matter then bounces back, for compression went just a little too far. This abrupt return to expansion gives rise to a shock wave that moves back out through the star.
