This plant also uses propane driven fork-lift trucks and at the time of the survey direct gas fired heaters were being used to warm the air in the plants. Both of these combustion sources would contribute nitrogen oxides to the air. 

First, and perhaps most important, the existence of up-to-date, comprehensive files, logically classified by an index system, makes possible rapid preparation of literature and patent surveys directly from filed material without need for searching the abstract journals. Collection of material, usually the most arduous step and the step most susceptible to errors of haste and omission, is obviated, with savings of time and money. 

The ESI 2011 Learning Trends Report, a global learning survey directed at a cross-section of commercial and government leaders, confirms that best-in-class organizations need learning methods that ... 

The VOC was collected through survey, direct interview, and mails. To arrive with a list of requirements, in-depth discussion was made with 13 stakeholders in order to find any redundant requirements. Also we reviewed and reanalyzed the stakeholder s requirements, after meeting the customers, to ensure that they were correct, complete, and clear. 

In preparation for a field wide quick look correlation, all well logs need to be corrected for borehole inclination. This is done routinely with software which uses the measured depth below the derrick floor ( alonghole depth below derrick floor AHBDFor measured depth , MD) and the acquired directional surveys to calculate the true vertical depth subsea (TVSS). This is the vertical distance of a point below a common reference level, for instance chart datum (CD) or mean sea level (MSL). Figure 5.41 shows the relationship between the different depth measurements. 

In Chapter 6 we survey what has been accomplished and indicate directions for future research. Furthermore, we critically review the influence of water on Lewis acid - Lewis base interactions. This influence has severe implications for catalysis, in particular when hard Lewis acids and bases are involved. We conclude that claims of Lewis-acid catalysis should be accompanied by evidence for a direct interaction between catalyst and substrate. 

The significance of industrial acrolein production may be clearer if one considers the two major uses of acrolein—direct oxidation to acryUc acid and reaction to produce methionine via 3-methyhnercaptopropionaldehyde. In acryUc acid production, acrolein is not isolated from the intermediate production stream. The 1990 acryUc acid production demand in the United States alone accounted for more than 450,000 t/yr (28), with worldwide capacity approaching 1,470,000 t/yr (29). Approximately 0.75 kg of acrolein is required to produce one kilogram of acryUc acid. The methionine production process involves the reaction of acrolein with methyl mercaptan. Worldwide methionine production was estimated at about 170,000 t/yr in 1990 (30). (See Acrylic ACID AND DERIVATIVES AmINO ACIDS, SURVEY.)... 

With disk diameters above 5.25 in., all parameters, eg, water absorption and thermal expansion, become more critical which aggravates the expansion or warp of disks. If in the future disk rotation speeds have to be increased significantly to boost data transfer rates, higher demands will be placed on warp (tilt angle) and modulus to avoid creeping (ie, irreversible elongation in radial direction). A survey of the requirement profile for the substrate material of optical disks is given in Table 5 (182,186,187,189).

Survey of the patent Hterature reveals companies with processes for 1,4-butanediol from maleic anhydride include BASF (94), British Petroleum (95,96), Davy McKee (93,97), Hoechst (98), Huels (99), and Tonen (100,101). Processes for the production of y-butyrolactone have been described for operation in both the gas (102—104) and Hquid (105—108) phases. In the gas phase, direct hydrogenation of maleic anhydride in hydrogen at 245°C and 1.03 MPa gives an 88% yield of y-butyrolactone (104). Du Pont has developed a process for the production of tetrahydrofuran back-integrated to a butane feedstock (109). Slurry reactor catalysts containing palladium and rhenium are used to hydrogenate aqueous maleic acid to tetrahydrofuran (110,111). 

Multiple chent studies have proliferated on a world basis since the first generally recognized study of this type done in 1952 on polyethylene by the Roger Wdhams organization. There are directories of available multiple cHent studies that can direct the researcher to a source, eg, FINDex—The FirectoTy of Market Research Keports, Studies, and Surveys. Multiple chent studies can have budgets of 50,000 to 250,000 and can require the equivalent of several work years by the researchers. 

Nonwoven fabrics made directly from polymers are discussed elsewhere (see Nonwoven fabrics, spunbonded). Emphasis here is on nonwovens made from fibers. The properties of nonwoven fabrics are highly influenced by the properties of their constituent fibers (see Fibers, survey). 

The PGs, PGI2 and TXA2 collectively exhibit a wide variety of biochemical and pharmacological activities and are iavolved ia both physiological and pathophysiological processes. However, the iadividual compounds show different overall activity profiles sometimes ia opposiag directions. Excellent reviews are available (59—64).

Natural Deposits. Natural deposits, eg, minerals and fossil fuels, are located by drilling operations. An auger, eg, a screw or worm, is turned in the earth and pulled out, and material is scraped from the auger for analysis. Alternatively, samples can be taken by hoUow core drills which, when withdrawn, enclose a core of the earth that is representative of the strata through which the drill has passed. Such core samples are used in geological surveys for fossil fuels. As the drill drives deeper into the strata, each core is extracted and placed in a shallow box and coded so that a complete cross section of the geological strata can be reconstmcted. From this, the relative thickness of coal and mineral seams can be directly measured. 

Properties. Pure thorium metal is a dense, bright silvery metal having a very high melting point. The metal exists in two allotropic modifications. Thorium is a reactive, soft, and ductile metal which tarnishes slowly on exposure to air (12). Having poor mechanical properties, the metal has no direct stmctural appHcations. A survey of the physical properties of thorium is summarized in Table 1. Thorium metal is diamagnetic at room temperature, but becomes superconducting below 1.3—1.4 K. 

Laser based mass spectrometric methods, such as laser ionization (LIMS) and laser ablation in combination with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) are powerful analytical techniques for survey analysis of solid substances. To realize the analytical performances methods for the direct trace analysis of synthetic and natural crystals modification of a traditional analytical technique was necessary and suitable standard reference materials (SRM) were required. Recent developments allowed extending the range of analytical applications of LIMS and LA-ICP-MS will be presented and discussed. For example ... 

Total pressure surveys were made downstream of the stators in both the radial and circumferential directions to determine the effect of coolant on stator losses. The wake traces for the stator with discrete holes and the stator with trailing edge slots show that there is a considerable difference in total... 

The simple checks need to be made first. These include column liquid level, temperature profile, pressure profile and stream flow rates. In addition, a Delta-P. survey using test gauges should be made in the field and if not by the troubleshooter then under his direct supervision. Just... 

AES analysis is done in one of four modes of analysis. The simplest, most direct, and most often used mode of operation of an Auger spectrometer is the point analysis mode, in which the primary electron beam is positioned on the area of interest on the sample and an Auger survey spectrum is taken. The next most often used mode of analysis is the depth profiling mode. The additional feature in this mode is that an ion beam is directed onto the same area that is being Auger analyzed. The ion beam sputters material off the surface so that the analysis measures the variation, in depth, of the composition of the new surfaces, which are being continu-... 

Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical (ICP-optical) methods and ICPMS are extremely sensitive elemental survey techniques that also are described in this volume. ICP methods, however, require a solution for analysis, so that the direct... 

NAA cannot be used for some important elements, such as aluminum (in a Si or Si02 matrix) and boron. The radioactivity produced from silicon directly interferes with that ftom aluminum, while boron does not produce any radioisotope following neutron irradiation. (However, an in-beam neutron method known as neutron depth profiling C3J be used to obtain boron depth profiles in thin films. ) Another limitation of NAA is the long turn-around time necessary to complete the experiment. A typical survey measurement of all impurities in a sample may take 2-4 weeks.
