Crl, Grr, A r and A r are the potential parameters of the constituents A and B of the alloy, S r r r, is the structure matrix in the most localized representation, tir are local site-occupation variables which randomly takes value 1 or 0 according to whether the site is occupied by an atom of type A or not, with probabilities proportional to the concentrations of the constituents. According to the prescription of the augmented space formalism, the effective non-random Hamiltonian H in augmented space is then... 

In order to study lattice relaxation effect by ASR we assume a simple model. As a first step we consider the terminal point approximation. Here the distortion of the lattice taken into account is the stretching or the contraction and angular distortion of the bond connecting two sites in a lattice and the effect of neighbouring site is neglected. As a result of such distortion the structure matrix takes the form ...

Assume that the anions build up a perfect sodium chloride structure matrix. In this case the formula of the nonstoichiometric phase must be expressed as (Mg, Al)-Oi o- To make sure that this is in agreement with the measured ratio of MgO and A1203, use the following procedure ...

A structural matrix B is a matrix having fixed zeros in some locations and arbitrary, independent entries in the remaining ones. 

The generic rank of a structured matrix B is defined to be the maximal rank that B achieves as a function of its free parameters. 

The maximal rank of an (m x g) matrix having no specified structure is equal to min (m, g). The inclusion of the structure into the problem makes it possible for matrices to have less than full rank, independent of the values of the free parameters, as was shown by Schields and Pearson (1976). Therefore, a structured matrix B has full generic rank if, and only if, there exists an admissible matrix B with full rank. 

The effects of exposure of organic solids to particular solvents such as pyridine on their conformational stability can also be Interpreted In terms of the structural features discussed above. How small nucleophilic molecules disrupt Inter- and Intramolecular polar Interactions In coals thereby relaxing the structural matrix and allowing further solvent penetration has been extensively discussed by Peppas (e.g. 11,12), Larsen (1,13) and Marzec (14-16) and their colleagues. Indeed the extent to which exposure to a polar solvent such as pyridine destabilizes a material s molecular structure Is a measure of the extent to which the stability of the material depends on polar Interactions. 

Cured Bisbenzocyclobutene (BCB) terminated resin systems exhibit good mechanical properties with 70Z to 85X retention of properties at 260 C and high thermal stability. The Materials Laboratory has studied these materials for use as high temperature structural matrix resins in composites. They are well suited for this use since they do not require the use of catalysts and cure without the evolution of volatiles. 

Early research on high temperature polymers concentrated primarily on thermal stability and paid little attention to their processability and cost. However, for a polymer to be successful as a c< miercially viable structural matrix, it must exhibit a favorable combination of processability, performance characteristics, and price. In particular, a desirable high temperature polymeric system for coatings, composites, and adhesives applications must exhibit adaptability to conventional processing techniques at low temperature and pressure, should exhibit good mechanical properties, acceptable repairability, weatherability, and cost effectiveness. 

A typical FCC operation can yield around 4-5 wt% propylene. The inclusion of ZSM-5 additives (Zeolite structural matrix-5) coupled with high reactor operating temperature (ROT) yields 5-10 wt% propylene with additive concentrations up to 10 wt% as per the industry standard as shown in the table below. This is based on data from commercially operating units around the world. A comparison of propylene yield from various catalytic cracking options is summarized below ... 

A gel can be considered as a structural matrix holding liquid and can be formed spontaneously by swelling at high protein concentrations (7, 27). Yet no studies have been reviewed that related water absorption and gelation. The gelation phenomenon of soybean proteins has been studied in detail by Catsimpoolas and Meyer (29, 30, 31). 

Structure Forming Excipient An excipient which participates in the formation of the structural matrix which gives an ointment, cream or gel etc., its semisolid character. Examples are gel fonning polymers, petrolatum, certain colloidal inorganic solids (e.g., bentonite), waxy solids (e.g., cetyl alcohol, stearic acid), and emulsifiers used in creams.

Whilst a single residual may be sufficient to detect faults, a vector of residuals is usually required for fault isolation. For isolation purposes, structured residuals [8, 17] can be generated, i.e., each residual is affected only by a specific subset of faults, and each fault only affects a specific subset of residuals. This concept can be expressed in a mathematical form by introducing a boolean fault code vector and a boolean structure matrix [8],...
