State boundary crossing

One of the most instructive examples of state boundary crossing is the tendency to experience dreamlike visuomotor sensations at sleep onset. These are called hypnagogic hallucinations if the subject is still awake enough to notice or be aroused by them. Apparently, one need only carry waking brain activation over the sleep boundary and dreaming will im-... 

Natural gas pipelines are generally defined as intrastate, those transporting gas to markets within state boundaries, or interstate, those crossing state lines. Natural gas from Canada, a grooving source of natural gas consumed in the United States, also enters the U.S. through iuterconnectious with interstate pipelines. 

The lines represent phase equilibrium boundaries. Crossing one of these lines by changing pressure or temperature results in a phase transition (or a change of state). Temperature and pressure combinations that lie on one of these lines allow for two phases to coexist in equilibrium with each other. The triple point of the substance is the single temperature and pressure combination where all three... 

No steepest descent (relaxation) pathof the potential energy hypersurface E(K) of any electronic state can cross the boundary of any point symmetry domain Gy of a nuclear corfiguration space M. 

One of the few practical applications of NIR to gases has been its proposed use as a monitoring system for natural gas. In the United States, the composition of natural gas and its British Thermal Unit (BTU) content in transmission lines is measured at each state boundary. At present, gas samples are taken offline and analyzed automatically by gas chromatography (GC). In the case of several transmission lines crossing at a specific location, a system is set up to automatically sample each of the lines periodically. Flow meters are then used to measure the volume of gas consumed by each customer. 

The Dijference Principle The possibility to keep cross-frontier contacts is to the benefit of the least advantaged. It supports their existence and identity. It promotes the minority s possibility to be heard beyond the state boundaries. The right to cross-frontier contacts implies that minorities have a special interest in this while the majority does not necessarily share this interest. The granting of this right focuses on minorities and their needs. The difference principle is respected. 

Consider a vessel with a constant-density fluid flowing through it, at steady state. Fluid crosses the boundaries of the vessel only by convection th e is no diffusion across the system boundaries. 

Let us now try to make the somewhat lax description of phase boundary crossing more precise. For this the concept of the experimentally accessible exchange current density Iq must be explained. The equilibrium state of a particular ionic species between two phases (electrode/solution) is reached, if the electrochemical potential is equal in both phases. If an uncharged ion-selective electrode is dipped in solution, any ion which establishes an exchange equilibrium with the active electrode phase must cross the phase boundary. The initial direction of charge transfer depends on... 

Steady-state operation is considered. In this case to satisfy conservation laws it will be assumed that the stream of a component that crosses a boundary inward, and does not come out, has been converted by chemical reaction. 

The mathematical model describing the two-phase dynamic system consists of modeling of the flow and description of its boundary conditions. The description of the flow is based on the conservation equations as well as constitutive laws. The latter define the properties of the system with a certain degree of idealization, simplification, or empiricism, such as equation of state, steam table, friction, and heat transfer correlations (see Sec. 3.4). A typical set of six conservation equations is discussed by Boure (1975), together with the number and nature of the necessary constitutive laws. With only a few general assumptions, these equations can be written, for a one-dimensional (z) flow of constant cross section, without injection or suction at the wall, as follows. 

We will apply the steady state momentum balance to a fluid in plug flow in a tube, as illustrated in Fig. 5-6. (The stream tube may be bounded by either solid or imaginary boundaries the only condition is that no fluid crosses the boundaries other that through the inlet and outlet planes.) The shape of the cross section does not have to be circular it can be any shape. The fluid element in the slice of thickness dx is our system, and the momentum balance equation on this system is...
