The next step of the training program is to develop a terminology system a common list of terms for the whole panel and of which the panel share a common understanding of the meaning of each term. Sensory concepts are aligned and recognition of specific attributes can be re-enforced by the use of appropriate chemical or physical standards. 

As just noted, ail amino acids have the same sense of chirality in that they are all l in the d/l terminology system. Yet, in the more modern Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system, they do not all have the same designators. All have the S stereochemisty, except cysteine, which has the same sense of chirality but is R because the. sulfur makes the sidechain... 

The ASTM standardized terminology system classifying all forms of elastomeric materials based upon the chemical composition of the polymer s backbone chain. 

A term that is nearly synonymous with complex numbers or functions is their phase. The rising preoccupation with the wave function phase in the last few decades is beyond doubt, to the extent that the importance of phases has of late become comparable to that of the moduli. (We use Dirac s terminology [7], which writes a wave function by a set of coefficients, the amplitudes, each expressible in terms of its absolute value, its modulus, and its phase. ) There is a related growth of literatm e on interference effects, associated with Aharonov-Bohm and Berry phases [8-14], In parallel, one has witnessed in recent years a trend to construct selectively and to manipulate wave functions. The necessary techifiques to achieve these are also anchored in the phases of the wave function components. This bend is manifest in such diverse areas as coherent or squeezed states [15,16], elecbon bansport in mesoscopic systems [17], sculpting of Rydberg-atom wavepackets [18,19], repeated and nondemolition quantum measurements [20], wavepacket collapse [21], and quantum computations [22,23], Experimentally, the determination of phases frequently utilizes measurement of Ramsey fringes [24] or similar" methods [25]. 

The task is now to calculate the structure and energy of the system in the transition state between A and B. Its wave function is assumed to be constmcted from a linear combination of the two. It is convenient to use VB terminology for this purpose. Let the wave function of A be denoted by a VB function A) and that of B by B). 

With this terminology in mind, we can restate the objective of this section as the interpretation of the intrinsic viscosities of solutions of rigid molecules. If the solute molecules are known to be spherical, comparison of Eqs. (9.10) and (9.14) shows that the intrinsic viscosity for such systems is given by... 

Vibrational transitions accompanying an electronic transition are referred to as vibronic transitions. These vibronic transitions, with their accompanying rotational or, strictly, rovibronic transitions, give rise to bands in the spectrum, and the set of bands associated with a single electronic transition is called an electronic band system. This terminology is usually adhered to in high-resolution electronic spectroscopy but, in low-resolution work, particularly in the liquid phase, vibrational structure may not be resolved and the whole band system is often referred to as an electronic band.

Another standardization matter relative to computerization of materials information is that of terminology (41) (see Nomenclature). Pull terminological standardization is not expected to be realized until the twenty-first century, but the hazards of lack of such standardization ate exacerbated in computerized systems. 

Surface activity is not limited to aqueous systems, however. AH of the combiaations of aqueous and nonaqueous phases are known to occur, but because water is present as the solvent phase in the overwhelming proportion of commercially important surfactant systems, its presence is assumed in much of the common terminology of industry. Thus, the water-soluble amphipathic groups are often referred to as solubilizing groups. 

The denomination of odors was schematically related to two separate domains, both related to the memory stimulus of an event concomitant with the perception of the odor. One domain was based on an actual reference point that contains the odor vectors the other was associated with an odor stimulus based on imagination, ie, what image is evoked by the stimulus. With such a system, the final descriptive terminology used would more often than not be expressed in esoteric language, causing confusion and even communication breakdown. The work of Jaubert (1) was the origin of a more standardized descriptive system in the field of aroma description. 

The discussion of combustion fundamentals so far has focused on homogeneous systems. Heterogeneous combustion is the terminology often used to refer to the combustion of Hquids and soHds. From a technological viewpoint, combustion of Hquid hydrocarbons, mainly in sprays, and coal combustion are of greatest interest. 

Temper. The system for designating material condition, whether the product form is strip, rod, or wine, is defined in ASTM Recommended Practice B601 (1). The ASTM system uses an alpha-numeric code for each of the standard temper designations. This system replaces the historical terminology of half hard, hard, spring, etc. Table 3 summarizes temper designations. 

Relief System Terminology Specific terminology has been developed for the various components which compose an emergency relief system. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) def-... 

The examples that have been presented in this section illustrate the approach that is used to describe structure and reactivity effects within the framework of MO description of structure. In the chapters that follow, both valence bond theory and MO theory will be used in the discussion of structure and reactivity. Qualitative valence bond terminology is normally most straightforward for saturated systems. MO theory provides useful insights into conjugated systems and into effects that depend upon the symmetry of the molecules under discussion. 

Substitution reactions by the ionization mechanism proceed very slowly on a-halo derivatives of ketones, aldehydes, acids, esters, nitriles, and related compounds. As discussed on p. 284, such substituents destabilize a carbocation intermediate. Substitution by the direct displacement mechanism, however, proceed especially readily in these systems. Table S.IS indicates some representative relative rate accelerations. Steric effects be responsible for part of the observed acceleration, since an sfp- caibon, such as in a carbonyl group, will provide less steric resistance to tiie incoming nucleophile than an alkyl group. The major effect is believed to be electronic. The adjacent n-LUMO of the carbonyl group can interact with the electnai density that is built up at the pentacoordinate carbon. This can be described in resonance terminology as a contribution flom an enolate-like stmeture to tiie transition state. In MO terminology,.the low-lying LUMO has a... 

Aromaticity is usually described in MO terminology. Cyclic structures that have a particularly stable arrangement of occupied 7t molecular orbitals are called aromatic. A simple expression of the relationship between an MO description of stmcture and aromaticity is known as the Hiickel rule. It is derived from Huckel molecular orbital (HMO) theory and states that planar monocyclic completely conjugated hydrocarbons will be aromatic when the ring contains 4n + 2 n electrons. HMO calculations assign the n-orbital energies of the cyclic unsaturated systems of ring size 3-9 as shown in Fig. 9.1. (See Chapter 1, Section 1.4, p. 31, to review HMO theory.)... 

Figures 1.1, 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 will explain the main terminology. These technologies and systems are described in technical details in Chapters 7 and 8.

In Chapter 2, Terminology, the terminology of zones, systems, and basic strategies for room air conditioning are explained. 

An is the chemical potential difference between sohd and gas. Also, from the equivalence of the system to an Ising spin system, one often uses the terminology spin for the variable s, although it has nothing really to do with a quantum-mechanical spin. 

The fault tree is constructed based on the system description and initiating events identified in the HAZOP. Figure 5.2 shows a portion of an extended version of Ozog s fault tree, taken from CCPS (1989b). The following terminology is used ... 

For this reason dual terminology is in use for the aza analogs. The first, derived from the principal pyrimidine and purine derivatives by means of the prefix aza- is used almost exclusively in biochemical papers in organic chemistry is it used together with the systematic names) wherever it is desired to compare the properties of the natural bases and of their aza analogs. The systematic terminology is naturally used in the older literature where no biochemical aspects of the compounds were considered, and in some newer work of strictly chemical nature. Since the numbering of the substituents is in some cases different for the different systems, we shall discuss this in more detail later. ... 

In planar ehromatography, the fraetions are not always transferred to another separation system, but rather a seeondary separation is developed, orthogonally on the same ehromatographie plate. Therefore, for all substanees not eompletely separated it is possible that baseline separation ean be aehieved by means of a seeond separation proeess with an appropriate mobile (stationary) phase. Figure 8.2 shows that in the seeond dimension a theoretieally unlimited number of seeondary eolumns ean be applied. Beeause of this, the terminology two-dimensional PC is not suffieiently... 

To ensure proper understanding of terminology, a brief discussion of the piping components of most process systems is appropriate.
