Substantial form

For any chemical whose identity is claimed as a trade secret, you must submit to EPA two versions of the substantiation form as prescribed in 40 CFR Part 350, published July 29, 1988 In the Federal Register (53 FR 28772). Use the order form In this document to obtain a copy of the rule and substantiation form. One version identifies the chemical the second version does not Identify the chemical specifically, but provides instead a generic identity. Only this latter version will be available to the public. For further explanation of the trade-secret provisions, see the instructions below... 

A completed trade secret substantiation form (staple the pages together) ... 

If you are making a trade secret claim, you must report the CAS number on your unsanitized Form R and unsanitized substantiation form. Do not include the CAS number on your sanitized Form R and sanitized substantiation form (see page 1 for more information). 

Do not complete this section if you have completed Section 1 of Part III. Report the generic name provided to you by your supplier in the section if your supplier Is claiming the chemical identity proprietary or trade secret. Do not answer "yes" in Part I, Section 1.1 on page 1 of the form if you complete this section. You do not need to supply trade secret substantiation forms since it is your supplier who is claiming the material a trade secret. 

If I took upon me to demonstrate, that the qualities of bodies cannot proceed from (what the schools call) substantial forms, or from any other causes but mechanical, it might be reasonably enough expected, that my argument should directly exclude them all. But since, in my explications of qualities, I pretend only, that they may be explicated by mechanical principles, without enquiring, whether they are explicable by any other that, which I need to prove, is, not that mechanical principles are the necessary and only things, whereby qualities may be explained, but that probably they will be found sufficient for their explication. ... 

Generally speaking, blood, Yin and essence all belong to the Yin because of their substantial form. In a syndrome of Liver-Yin deficiency, liver-blood deficiency is often the initial stage of Liver-Yin deficiency liquid-Yin deficiency is the second stage, and essence deficiency of the Liver and Kidney is the last stage. Thus, to tonify the Liver-Yin, herbs that tonify the blood and nourish the liquid-Yin and the essence are all selected. 

A scalar or a vector function expressed in terms of d/dt can be converted into the substantial form for a scalar function T = T(x, y, z, t), we have... 

ARCANUM SPECIFICUM — is an extract of the interior nature, related so intimately to the substance of any species that the same may be known therein. It must be educed with care lest the gross substance perish. For this reason is it called specific. And it differs from quintessence, which, by reason of its extreme subtlety and excellence, seems almost to have deserted its species, and gone over to the class of ethereal things. But the Specific Arcanum exhibits the substance, shape, and specific difference of composites as an extract more akin to the interior body. The Specific Arcanum is duplex. One is of the essential and substantial form, and is called Astral, the other is Material. 

In actual Federal dollars spent, Federal tax credits constitute one of the most substantial forms of government involvement in the operations of the pharmaceutical industry. In 1987, not including over 900,000 in foreign tax credits, the Federal Treasury made 1.4 billion in tax expenditures through credits to drug companies. Of this, only about 90 million was for credits whose specific policy purpose is to stimulate R D. The major part, 1.3 billion, of the lost tax revenue was due to the foreign and possessions tax credits. 

Art versus Nature in Islam The Problem of Transmutation of Species and the Substantial Form... 

This is not the place to deal with the subtleties of Avicenna s theory of qualitates refractae or qualitates remissae, which allowed a continued existence of the elements in a mixture, but with their qualities in a diminished state and under the umbrella of the substantial form. For some details of this theory, see Anneliese Maier, An der Grenze von Scholastik und Naturwissenschaft. 2d ed. (Roma Edizioni di Storia e Letteratura, 1952), 22-25. 

In many instances, substantial form and specific form can be used interchangeably. This identification was facilitated by the fact that the substantial form imposes secondary substance on matter, by making the object in question belong to a species. Hence substantial in the sense of secondary substance means specific. According to most Scholastics, the human soul, which imposes humanity, is the substantial form of the body. For a good introduction to the Aristotelian concept of substance, see W D. Ross, Aristotle (London Methuen, 1923), 23-24, 165-167. 

Likewise, art does not transmute a substantial form into [another substantial] form, because Aristotle says in Meteorology IV that the artificers of alchemy should know that species cannot be transmuted therefore, demons cannot [transmute them], because they work only by means of art.24... 

After finishing with his list of reasons against and for the ability of demons to induce a substantial form in matter, Albert tries to resolve the issue to the best of his ability. In his solution to the question, he modestly admits that only God and the angels can know for a certainty whether demons have this power. Nonetheless, Albert asserts that the doctrines of churchly authority allow one to suppose that demons cannot induce a permanent substantial form into matter except in the case of beings that arise easily from putrefaction. In order to clarify his analysis, he argues that four types... 

Moreover, demons do not work except by the method of art. But art cannot give a substantial form, whence it is said in the chapter on minerals x ie artificers of alchemy should know that species cannot be transmuted. Therefore, neither can demons induce substantial forms.34... 

Thomas s rejection of alchemy is similar to that of Albert except that the former introduces the concept of the virtus loci—the power of a specific place. His idea is that metals can be generated only by natural heat operating in the subterranean chambers where ores and metals come into being. It is a priori impossible for man to make metals artificially, since he cannot erect his laboratories in the hidden subterranean depths where the mineralizing power operates with the aid of solar heat. Like Albert, however, Thomas is using alchemy to determine the limits of demonic power. Since man cannot induce just any substantial form on matter, it follows that demons are subject to a similar limitation. Alchemy once again serves as the touchstone by which all arts, including those of Lucifer and his minions, are measured. 

There is virtually no discussion of substantial form in the Summa, and it would seem that, at this stage in the author s development, he had more or less abandoned this factotum of the Scholastics and adopted a notion of substance that was purely empirical.79 This comes out quite clearly if we consider his definition of gold, which would be repeated by philosophical, metallurgical, and alchemical writers through the seventeenth century ... 

There is an oblique reference to substantial form in the Summds description of the soul, which Geber calls a perfective form. See Newman, Summa perfections, 648.
