Suggestion, power

A direct action or effect on body functions cannot be demonstrated for homeopathic medicines. Therapeutic success is due to the suggestive powers of the homeopath and the expectancy of the patient When an illness is strongly influenced by emotional (psychic) factors and cannot be treated well by allopathic means, a case can be made in favor of exploiting suggestion as a therapeutic tool. Homeopathy is one of several possible methods of doing so. 

There are chemical explosion hazards associated with stored reprocessing residues. The explosion near Chelyabinsk in the Urals in 1958 was, it has been suggested, powered by interaction of sodium nitrate and/or nitric acid with sodium acetate/acetic acid in nitrate wastes neutralised with sodium acetate, then stored and allowed to concentrate by radioactive heating [1]. A reprocessing incident at Tomsk in 1993 was apparently caused... 

In our modem world of visualization we have to deal cautiously with the suggestive power of pictures. If you want to present something new to students, you are often disappointed about the impact because they make you feel that they have seen this already. 

Pure caffeine is sold in most drugstores for much more than it is worth in clever disguises meant to suggest powerful amphetamines. For example, a product called Caffedrine in large, green and white time-release capsules looks just like pharmaceutical Dexamyl. No doubt some people who buy it resell it on the black... 

This interesting study of the photo- or electron-induced reaction of a SA monolayer of CHaBr at a (crystalline) Si surface suggests powerful possibilities for imprinting nano-patterns (e.g. Jacoby, 2004). In the view mediated in said summary, surface reactions can be classified as having parent-mediated or daughter-mediated dynamics... 

The trends in chemical and physical properties of the elements described beautifully in the periodic table and the ability of early spectroscopists to fit atomic line spectra by simple mathematical formulas and to interpret atomic electronic states in terms of empirical quantum numbers provide compelling evidence that some relatively simple framework must exist for understanding the electronic structures of all atoms. The great predictive power of the concept of atomic valence further suggests that molecular electronic structure should be understandable in terms of those of the constituent atoms. 

The control of carbon dioxide emission from burning fossil fuels in power plants or other industries has been suggested as being possible with different methods, of which sequestration (i.e., collecting CO2 and injecting it to the depth of the seas) has been much talked about recently. Besides of the obvious cost and technical difficulties, this would only store, not dispose of, CO2 (although natural processes in the seas eventually can form carbonates, albeit only over very long periods of time). 

So now we have a modified method where one has ammonia, methylamine or ethylamine freebase saturated in a small amount of DMF. The author next suggested that a power pulse protocol would not necessarily be needed, but that the power output from the microwave should be between 20-40% of full power. Also, the water in the clay would still be needed for the reaction. 

Inspection of Fig. 3.9 suggests that for polyisobutylene at 25°C, Ti is about lO hr. Use Eq. (3.101) to estimate the viscosity of this polymer, remembering that M = 1.56 X 10. As a check on the value obtained, use the Debye viscosity equation, as modified here, to evaluate M., the threshold for entanglements, if it is known that f = 4.47 X 10 kg sec at this temperature. Both the Debye theory and the Rouse theory assume the absence of entanglements. As a semi-empirical correction, multiply f by (M/M. ) to account for entanglements. Since the Debye equation predicts a first-power dependence of r) on M, inclusion of this factor brings the total dependence of 77 on M to the 3.4 power as observed. 

Although two of the mechanisms presented above yield the same power dependence on t, it appears possible to eliminate certain mechanisms by experimentally testing the development of 9 with time. A strategy for this is suggested by Eq. (4.28). Taking the logarithm of both sides of that equation gives... 

Neither the penetration nor the surface renewal theory can be used to predict mass transfer coefficients directiy because T and s are not normally known. Each suggests, however, that mass transfer coefficients should vary as the square root of the molecular diffusivity, as opposed to the first power suggested by the film theory. 

Solutions of alkah metal and ammonium iodides in Hquid iodine are good conductors of electricity, comparable to fused salts and aqueous solutions of strong acids. The Hquid is therefore a polar solvent of considerable ionising power, whereas its own electrical conductivity suggests that it is appreciably ionized, probably into I" and I (triodide). Iodine resembles water in this respect. The metal iodides and polyiodides are bases, whereas the iodine haHdes are acids. 

The relative abundance of neutral SiH and H2 species have been measured as a function of power, pressure, flow rate, and dilution. For low power levels, eg, 5 W, up to 50% of the SiH gas is dissociated and the percentage increases to 80% for a power of 50 W. The decomposition of SiH gas proceeds more readily with lower flow rates. These observations, coupled with infrared (ir) measurements performed on the films, suggest that deposition under conditions in which the silane gas is not entirely decomposed leads to a majority of SiH units, whereas those deposited under conditions in which silane is strongly dissociated contain a majority of dihydride units leading to a deterioration of the semiconductor. Also, when the dwell time of SiH in the plasma region increases, the resultant film exhibits a pronounced peak at 2090 cm from the ir spectra corresponding to S1H2 inclusion. 

Higher than first order for monomer, such as the 3/2 power suggests that VP is involved in initiation (17). If the efficiency of initiation is a function of the monomer concentration, then f = P [M], and substituting in equation 2 gives... 

The dimensionless relations are usually indicated in either of two forms, each yielding identical resiilts. The preferred form is that suggested by Colburn ran.s. Am. In.st. Chem. Eng., 29, 174—210 (1933)]. It relates, primarily, three dimensionless groups the Stanton number h/cQ, the Prandtl number c Jk, and the Reynolds number DG/[L. For more accurate correlation of data (at Reynolds number <10,000), two additional dimensionless groups are used ratio of length to diameter L/D and ratio of viscosity at wall (or surface) temperature to viscosity at bulk temperature. Colburn showed that the product of the Stanton number and the two-thirds power of the Prandtl number (and, in addition, power functions of L/D and for Reynolds number <10,000) is approximately equal to half of the Fanning friction fac tor//2. This produc t is called the Colburn j factor. Since the Colburn type of equation relates heat transfer and fluid friction, it has greater utility than other expressions for the heat-transfer coefficient.
