Subject functions

Exception A subject that is plural in form but singular in effect takes a singular verb. Here a compound subject functions as a single entity. 

What really makes the ergonomics of the system is that it can reply, in real time, to the subjects processes of treatment in a very particular situation. Actually, the most important is clearly determined by the processes which are supposed to be those of the subjects. That means that the system must be modelled on the way we think the subjects function mentally. This is, in sum, a good way to validate our hypotheses. 

Computer control of physical operations is much more effective than human control, but human intervention is far superior for the subjective functions of management and quality control. Servomechanisms that perform some kind of automated control function can be found in unexpected places, including the spring-loaded switch that turns on the light in a refrigerator when its door is opened. 

The main justification for diesel fuel desulfurization is related to particulate emissions which are subject to very strict rules. Part of the sulfur is transformed first into SO3, then into hydrated sulfuric acid on the filter designed to collect the particulates. Figure 5.21 gives an estimate of the variation of the particulate weights as a function of sulfur content of diesel fuel for heavy vehicles. The effect is greater when the test cycle contains more high temperature operating phases which favor the transformation of SO2 to SO3. This is particularly noticeable in the standard cycle used in Europe (ECE R49). 

Usually an Internet user learns after a while where to go for specific information The Browser provides a bookmark tlmction where all these addresses can be organized by different subjects Typical bookmark folders are Societies, Companies, Journals, Institutes, Databases, Search engines The NDTnet Journal provides a virtual library that makes it easy for newcomers to find NDT sites. Unfortunately, some sites provide a lot of information but do not offer a search function. 

Opinions differ widely on the subject of corporate websites. You can currently buy server disc space for HTML pages for a mere 5 US, or many providers include it with the basic account The main disadvantages are related to server functions, bandwidth and other offered services. 

Due to the many vibrations of the operating reactor, the RCCA rods are subject to wear, creating loss of material, mainly at guide cards height. This loss of material ean be the cause of important problems for the functioning and safety of the plant. 

A general prerequisite for the existence of a stable interface between two phases is that the free energy of formation of the interface be positive were it negative or zero, fluctuations would lead to complete dispersion of one phase in another. As implied, thermodynamics constitutes an important discipline within the general subject. It is one in which surface area joins the usual extensive quantities of mass and volume and in which surface tension and surface composition join the usual intensive quantities of pressure, temperature, and bulk composition. The thermodynamic functions of free energy, enthalpy and entropy can be defined for an interface as well as for a bulk portion of matter. Chapters II and ni are based on a rich history of thermodynamic studies of the liquid interface. The phase behavior of liquid films enters in Chapter IV, and the electrical potential and charge are added as thermodynamic variables in Chapter V. 

The detailed examination of the behavior of light passing through or reflected by an interface can, in principle, allow the determination of the monolayer thickness, its index of refiraction and absorption coefficient as a function of wavelength. The subjects of ellipsometry, spectroscopy, and x-ray reflection deal with this goal we sketch these techniques here. 

A fundamental approach by Steele [8] treats monolayer adsorption in terms of interatomic potential functions, and includes pair and higher order interactions. Young and Crowell [11] and Honig [20] give additional details on the general subject a recent treatment is by Rybolt [21]. 

We have seen various kinds of explanations of why may vary with 6. The subject may, in a sense, be bypassed and an energy distribution function obtained much as in Section XVII-14A. In doing this, Cerefolini and Re [149] used a rate law in which the amount desorbed is linear in the logarithm of time (the Elovich equation). 

Radiation probes such as neutrons, x-rays and visible light are used to see the structure of physical systems tlirough elastic scattering experunents. Inelastic scattering experiments measure both the structural and dynamical correlations that exist in a physical system. For a system which is in thennodynamic equilibrium, the molecular dynamics create spatio-temporal correlations which are the manifestation of themial fluctuations around the equilibrium state. For a condensed phase system, dynamical correlations are intimately linked to its structure. For systems in equilibrium, linear response tiieory is an appropriate framework to use to inquire on the spatio-temporal correlations resulting from thennodynamic fluctuations. Appropriate response and correlation functions emerge naturally in this framework, and the role of theory is to understand these correlation fiinctions from first principles. This is the subject of section A3.3.2. 

The general constrained optimization problem can be considered as minimizing a function of n variables F(x), subject to a series of m constraints of the fomi C.(x) = 0. In the penalty fiinction method, additional temis of the fomi. (x), a.> 0, are fomially added to the original fiinction, thus... 

Longuet-Higgins [7] also reinforces the discussion by tbe following qualitative demonstration of a cyclic sign change for the LiNaK like system subject to Eq. (3), in which rows and columns are labeled by the basis functions... 

This section attempts a brief review of several areas of research on the significance of phases, mainly for quantum phenomena in molecular systems. Evidently, due to limitation of space, one cannot do justice to the breadth of the subject and numerous important works will go unmentioned. It is hoped that the several cited papers (some of which have been chosen from quite recent publications) will lead the reader to other, related and earlier, publications. It is essential to state at the outset that the overall phase of the wave function is arbitrary and only the relative phases of its components are observable in any meaningful sense. Throughout, we concentrate on the relative phases of the components. (In a coordinate representation of the state function, the phases of the components are none other than the coordinate-dependent parts of the phase, so it is also true that this part is susceptible to measurement. Similar statements can be made in momentum, energy, etc., representations.)... 

The total molecular system wave function is subject to the boundaty conditions...
