To complete the discussion on the symmetry of QRMs and NRMs it is interesting to point out the analogy between the covering group < e of the restructure of a QRM and the isometric group St %) of the SRM associated with a NRM... 

The group of Poincare transformations consists of coordinate transformations (rotations, translations, proper Lorentz transformations...) linking the different inertial frames that are supposed to be equivalent for the description of nature. The free Dirac equation is invariant under these Poincare transformations. More precisely, the free Dirac equation is invariant under (the covering group of) the proper orthochronous Poincare group, which excludes the time reversal and the space-time inversion, but does include the parity transformation (space reflection). 

Capacity. Capacity is a measure of the quantity of ions, acid, or base removed (adsorbed) by an ion-exchange material. The quantity removed is direcdy correlated with the number of functional groups. Capacity is reported ia several different ways, but requites further definition because the word by itself does not cover ad situations. Total capacity is a measure of ad the functional groups on a resia and is recorded on a weight as wed as a volume basis. 

To complete the assembly of a cell, the interleaved electrode groups are bolted to a cov er and the cover is sealed to a container. Originally, nickel-plated steel was the predominant material for cell containers but, more recently plastic containers have been used for a considerable proportion of pocket nickel-cadmium cells. Polyethylene, high impact polystyrene, and a copolymer of propylene and ethylene have been the most widely used plastics. 

Although the first polyurethanes were similar to that shown above, several polymers currently used contain many linkages in addition to the urethane group. Because of this the term polyurethane is now generally extended to cover all the complex reaction products of isocyanates and polyhydroxy compounds (the latter frequently known in this context as polyols).
