The method of volume rendering uses the whole sample volume for visualization. Therefor semitransparent representations of the samples inner structure are possible and the detection of small cracks or faults is much easier compared to the surfaces based techniques (Fig. 4 b). From its principle volume rendering is more time consuming compared to surface representation. 

In Figure 8 (right) the transfer coefficients are plotted as a function of the waterside friction velocity. The theoretical curves for a smooth surface based on a diffusion model (Deacon 1977) and for a rough surface based on a surface renewal model (Danckwerts 1970) are also included. The theoretical curve for a smooth surface (no waves were visually observed) is in good agreement with the measurements when a surfactant was present. For a clean interface, the transfer coefficient follows the theoretical curve for a surface renewal model with a wavy surface. 

The TPO part is power washed and the olefinic color coat is applied on the untreated, non-polar TPO surface. The ability of the Kraton Liquid Polymer to be formulated into a production color coat is a recent development and the adhesion mechanism is believed to be based on diffusion of very similar materials into each other with the aid of heat and solvents during the paint bake cycle. There may be other adhesion mechanisms occurring simultaneously. QC method TPO surface 1/visual, on-line identifies the color of the pigmented color coat ranging in thickness between 0.9-1.2 mils Painted part 1/ cross-hatch adhesion, 2/ other tests.

In this Final Rule, U.S. HUD sets forth seven strategies for lead paint or paint hazard evaluation and hazard reduction, varying in relative stringency from least to most (1) safe work practices during rehabilitation (2) ongoing lead paint maintenance practices to assure continued intact surfaces (3) visual assessment and paint stabihzation (4) risk assessment and interim controls (as defined above) (5) combined risk assessment and lead paint inspection with interim controls (6) risk assessment and abatement of lead paint hazards and (7) lead-based paint inspection and abatement via removal of aU lead paint. 

The representation of molecular properties on molecular surfaces is only possible with values based on scalar fields. If vector fields, such as the electric fields of molecules, or potential directions of hydrogen bridge bonding, need to be visualized, other methods of representation must be applied. Generally, directed properties are displayed by spatially oriented cones or by field lines. 

Pressure pellets sink when placed in water, whereas under the proper conditions, floating pellets can be produced through the extmsion process. That is accomphshed when the feed mixture contains high levels of starch that expands and traps air as the cooked pellets leave the barrel of the extmder. This gives the pellets a density of less than 1.0. Eloating pellets are desirable for species that come to the surface to feed since the aquaculturist can visually determine that the fish are actively feeding and can control daily feeding rates based on observed consumption. 

Identification. Weld-root cracks originate at the root of the weld and run longitudinally along the weld, perpendicularly to the base-metal surface and parallel to the axis of the weld. In general, they may be identified visually or by various nondestructive testing techniques such as radiography or ultrasonics. Failures from weld-root cracking may occur soon after start-up or after extended periods of successful service. 

Checking the bath concentration The concentration of bath solution in caustic-based cleaners can be checked by a simple titration method as noted below, while for the remaining types of cleaners, a visual check of the degreased surfaces will be sufficient. The titration method is as follows ... 

In media selective for enterobacteria a surface-active agent is the main selector, whereas in staphylococcal medium sodium and lithium chlorides are the selectors staphylococci are tolerant of salt concentrations to around 7.5%. Mannitol salt, Baird-Parker (BP) and Vogel-Johnson (VJ) media are three examples of selective staphyloccocal media. Beside salt concentration the other principles are the use of a selective carbon source, mannitol or sodium pyruvate together with a buffer plus acid-base indicator for visualizing metabolic activity and, by inference, growth. BP medium also contains egg yolk the lecithin (phospholipid) in this is hydrolysed by staphylococcal (esterase) activity so that organisms are surrounded by a cleared zone in the otherwise opaque medium. The United States Pharmacopeia (1990) includes a test for staphylococci in pharmaceutical products, whereas the British Pharmacopoeia (1993) does not.
