Discussion and Summary

Structure and can be used to construct, via the TDVP, approximations of the TDSE as a classical dynamical system. If one used the manifold constituted by whole Hilbert space (not an AGP manifold) then the classical Hamilton equations plus an equation for a time-dependent phase would be equivalent to the TDSE, and their solutions would provide solutions to the Schrbdinger equation. The classical equations restricted to the AGP manifolds produce paths of AGP states that approximate the exact paths. One can consider the classical linear response of approximate stationary states found on these manifolds to external time-dependent perturbations either wifliin the curved phase or in the tangent space at these points [37]. This allows a variety of linear response approximations schemes to be developed that generdize and clarify propagator and RPAs. 

The canonical coefficients are the square roots of the occupation numbers [nj = ttj+J 1 7 s of the first-order reduced density operator (FORDO) Ig) (gl of the two-electron state Ig). The number, v, of non-zero (n l 1 7 5 is called the rank of the geminal Ig), the dimension of the null space of Ig) is equal to 2 s - v). If all the occupation are equal (hence non-zero) the geminal is called extreme and the state Ig ) an extreme AGP State.

In this chapter we have attempted to summarize and evaluate scientific information available in the relatively young field of microwave photoelectrochemistry. This discipline combines photoelectrochemical techniques with potential-dependent microwave conductivity measurements and succeeds in better characterizing the behavior ofphotoinduced charge carrier reactions in photoelectrochemical mechanisms. By combining photoelectrochemical measurements with microwave conductivity measurements, it is possible to obtain direct access to the measurement of interfacial rate constants. This is new for photoelectrochemistry and promises better insight into the mechanisms of photogenerated charge carriers in semiconductor electrodes. 

The schemes in Figs. 44 and 45 may serve to summarize the main results on photoinduced microwave conductivity in a semiconductor electrode (an n-type material is used as an example). Before a limiting photocurrent at positive potentials is reached, minority carriers tend to accumulate in the space charge layer [Fig. 44(a)], producing a PMC peak [Fig. 45(a)], the shape and height of which are controlled by interfacial rate constants. Near the flatband potential, where surface recombination 

At present, the microwave electrochemical technique is still in its infancy and only exploits a portion of the experimental research possibilities that are provided by microwave technology. Much experience still has to be gained with the improvement of experimental cells for microwave studies and in the adjustment of the parameters that determine the sensitivity and reliability of microwave measurements. Many research possibilities are still unexplored, especially in the field of transient PMC measurements at semiconductor electrodes and in the application of phase-sensitive microwave conductivity measurements, which may be successfully combined with electrochemical impedance measurements for a more detailed exploration of surface states and representative electrical circuits of semiconductor liquid junctions. 

The fact that microwave conductivity measurements can be performed in a contact-free manner allows us to use them for quality control during the production of photoactive powders or thin layers, or for electrochemical process technology. After the buildup of sufficient knowledge, microwave conductivity measurements themselves, independent of classic electrochemical information, may be used to obtain electrochemical information in cases where conventional techniques are not convenient or accessible. 

Such interesting prospects should not distract us from the fact that we still have to continue to build on the foundation of this research discipline. There is sufficient room for further improvement of electrochemical PMC 

A journey assessment is especially relevant for products that are consumed over a longer period of time and for which a change of their sensorial characteristics occurs and assessments (answering a short questionnaire) that need to be done not only at different points of time but also at different locations. Since mobile research offers the 

Furthermore, for some products it only makes sense to be tested at the consumer s home (e.g. shampoo, lotion, home appUances) or a longer testing phase (e.g. antiageing lotion, baby soothers) is required. For the assessment of those products, the flexibility of mobile research offers a clear advantage. 

Moreover, the longer a survey is, the more drop-outs must be expected. Hence, a sufficiently high over-recruitment should be considered. Also, a specially programmed smartphone app that reminds respondents to participate via push messages can reduce drop-outs. 

for difficult to reach target groups, mobile research can be a solution e.g. those respondents that cannot be easily invited to come to a test facility, as is the case for pets (e.g. dogs and cats), babies, or professionals with long working hours. Additionally, in contrast to a CLT, a higher geographical representativeness can be reached. However, the other side of the medal is that at the moment it is mostly 

Rapid Sensory Profiling Techniques and Related Methods 

The preceding sections of this review serve to illustrate the complexity of the various polysaccharide fractions isolated from M. tuberculosis and its metabolic products. 

The methods of isolation, for the majority of these fractions, are based on the solvent action of dilute acids or alkalies. The possibility of the inclusion of extraneous carbohydrate material from the culture fluid has been eliminated by growth of the organism on synthetic media. One school of workers obtained polysaccharide fractions by percolation of fat-free bacilli, over a prolonged period, with dilute acetic acid in the presence of phenol. While this method achieved its purpose by giving a relatively undegraded product, its isolation, and the time taken in the 

Almost all the polysaccharide fractions (glycogen excepted) isolated from M. tuberculosis contained small amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus. Amino sugars have been detected in some polysaccharides, but in the main, the mode of occurrence of the less well-defined constituents remains undetermined. Similarly, some of the polysaccharide fractions have been stated to possess acid properties. Uronic acids have not, however, been identified in the hydrolysis products, nor have any other acidic components been conclusively identified. 

It is known that these polysaccharides display remarkable surface adsorptive capacity both for organic and inorganic substances. It is therefore possible that these traces of nitrogen and phosphorus are due to strong adsorption between the polysaccharide and small amounts of protein or nucleic acid (or nucleic acid fragments). Such a system is resistant to the usual methods of fractionation, but a separation by electrophoretic means has been claimed. 

The principal units from which the polysaccharides are constructed are D-arabinose, o-mannose, D-galactose and L-rhamnose. Inositol is a constituent peculiar to lipid derivatives. The presence of a phosphory-lated polysaccharide has been reported. 

Contrary to silicon, very little work has been done in germanium regarding quantitative hydrogen diffusion or electric field drift studies. Such experiments may be complicated by the fact that ultra-pure germanium becomes intrinsic already at temperatures near 200 K. It would be worthwhile to explore the possibility of using lightly doped germanium for such studies in order to explore Fermi level dependent effects. 

A further group of interesting experiments to be done is related to the double acceptors Cd and Hg. Crystals doped with these impurities have been used for infrared detector applications and the hole binding energies of the neutral species are well known. It would be interesting to explore the electronic and the real space structure of A(Cd,H) and A(Hg,H) if they can be formed.

TNT equivalencies given by the sources identified below are based upon averages deduced from damage observed in a limited number of major vapor cloud explosion incidents  

These figures can be used for predictive purposes to extrapolate average major incident conditions to situations under study, provided the actual conditions under study correspond reasonably well with average major incident conditions. Such a condition may be broadly described as a spill of some tens of tons of a hydrocarbon in an environment with local concentrations of obstructions and/or partial confinement, for example, the site of an average refinery or chemical plant with dense process equipment or the site of a railroad marshaling yard with a large number of closely parked rail cars. It must be emphasized that the TNT equivalencies listed above should not be used in situations in which average major incident conditions do not apply. 

A more deterministic estimate of a vapor cloud s blast-damage potential is possible only if the actual conditions within the cloud are considered. This is the starting point in the multienergy concept for vapor cloud explosion blast modeling (Van den Berg 1985). Harris and Wickens (1989) make use of this concept by suggesting that blast effects be modeled by applying a 20% TNT equivalency only to that portion of the vapor cloud which is partially confined and/or obstructed. 

TNT blast is, however, a poor model for a gas explosion blast. In particular, the shape and positive-phase duration of blast waves induced by gas explosions are poorly represented by TNT blast. Nevertheless, TNT-equivalency methods are satisfactory, so long as far-field damage potential is the major concern.

Prolonged contact with certain chromium compounds may produce allergic reactions and dermatitis in some individuals (114). The initial response is usually caused by exposure to Cr(VI) compounds, but once the allergy is estabUshed, it is extended to the trivalent compounds (111,115). There is also limited evidence of possible chromium associated occupational asthma, but there is insufficient data to estimate a dose for assumed chromium-induced asthma. Reference 116 provides a summary and discussion of chromium hypersensitivity. 

Each section begins with a summary and discussion of general effects followed by illustration of the generalizations by speciflc examples. This arrangement prepares the reader for what he is about to encounter and facilitates later use of the sections for reference.
