Struggling

Since the 1960 s, two ideas have gained our attention the struggle against pollution before the first oil crisis of 1973 and the diminution of consumption since. One can consider, in fact, that the two objectives are linked. Indeed, any maladjustment of a fuel admission system will modify the equivalence ratio of the mix. The consequences are modifications, on one hand, of the consumption and on the other, of the nature and the quantity of pollutants emitted CO, NO, and unburned hydrocarbons. 

NMR spectroscopy is always struggling for increased sensitivity and resolution, as well as more efficient use of the instrument time. To this end, numerous improvements of the simple inversion-recovery method have been proposed over the years. An early and unportant modification is the so-called fast mversion recovery... 

The field of chemoinformatics was not founded, nor was it formally installed. It slowly evolved from several, often quite humble, begmnings. Scientists in various fields of chemistry struggled to develop computer methods in order to manage the... 

Different systems may require different protocols to obtain one of many possible graphs, and several protocols in one system often achieve the same result. At entry level, all this may seem a bit bewildering, but to anyone who has struggled with mechanical drawing tools to make a simple line drawing like Fig. 1-8, SigmaPlot seems a miracle.

Brief Examples Microfiltration is the oldest and largest membrane field. It was important economically when other disciphnes were struggling for acceptance, yet because of its incredible diversity and lack of large apphcations, it is the most difficult to categorize. Nonetheless, it has had greater membrane sales than all other membrane applications combined throughout most of its histoiy. The early... 

The story of Staudinger s researches and struggles against opposition, and also of the contributions of Carothers who is introduced in the next paragraph, is brilliantly told in a very recent historical study (Furukawa 1998). 

The very gradual recognition that matter consists of atoms stretched over more than two millennia, and that recognition was linked for several centuries with the struggles of successive generations of scientists to understand the nature of crystals. This is why I am here combining sketches of the history of atoms and of the history of crystals, two huge subjects. 

Older cook styles called for addition of phenol, formaldehyde, and water followed by alkali. Once the alkali was added, strict temperature control was the only barrier to a runaway reaction. A power or equipment failure at this point was likely to lead to disaster. Every batch made involved a struggle between the skill of the operator and capability of the equipment to control the exotherm versus the exothermic nature of the reactants. Most of the disasters that have occurred were due to utilization of this cooking method.

Only time and the marketplace tvill determine which manufacturer is correct. One thing that both manufacturers agree on is that the airlines will always demand more efficient aircraft in their constant struggle to maintain profitability. The competition between the two manufacturers will help ensure that the best products will be available to the customer and the passengers.

Arrotlier poterrtial problem for hydroelectricity is the possibility of electricity supply disruptions. A severe drought can mean that there will not be enough water to operate a hydroelectric facility. Communities with very high dependence on the hydroelectric resources may find themselves struggling with electricity shortages in the form of brownouts and black-outs. 

Mayer returned to Heilbronn in 1841, began his medical practice, and eventually became chief surgeon of the town. In his free time he did some experiments and struggled with difficult, abstract concepts in an attempt to understand the nature of energy. He knew so little physics from his one semester of the subject at Tubingen that many of the papers he submitted for publication were rejected as incompetent by the important scientific journals of the day. He was forced to publish most of his writings at his own expense, and so their circulation was confined primarily to Heilbronn residents. 

In the meantime, the utility planner struggles with how to approach the planning process in this changing environment. Perhaps these issues are more critical in the transition, since so many of the traditional parameters ol planning have disappeared, and lew new parameters have taken their place.
