Three-body contact potential

Various choices have been made for the binding potential Vi (and the corresponding wave functions) and the interaction Vi2, which will be discussed below. If the former is described by a regularized zero-range potential so that V] (r) [Pg.68]

All the pesticide that is in the workplace environment is potentially available for contact with the worker. The three major routes of exposure are dermal (percutaneous), inhalation and, to a much lesser extent, oral. The relative importance of each route will differ under various conditions, but the total body contact will be the sum of the amount of pesticide at each barrier (skin, lungs and G.I. tract). 

There are three means of heat transfer that apply to drying processes. These are conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat from one body to another part of the same body, or from one body to another body in direct physical contact with it. This transfer of heat must occur without significant displacement of particles of the body other than atomic or molecular vibrations. Conductive heat transfer is analogous to electrical flow and can be described by similar terms such as potential and resistance. Some examples of conduction would include heating of metal pipes by a hot liquid inside of them, or heat supplied to a solids bed via a metal shelf. 

To understand why this is the case, we consider a step of the primitive splitting algorithm applied to a simple system consisting of a fixed body at the origin and a single body (mass=l) moving under an external potential and in occasional contact with the fixed body, both bodies having radius 0.5. Let us consider three possibilities (i) there is no collision in the timestep, (ii) there is a collision only at... 

To discuss the coil properties at the 0 point, a more realistic interaction potential was applied, including both repulsion and attraction (Lennard-Johns potential. Figure 1.40a) and the contribution of three-(and more)-body interactions (the interactions on simultaneous contacts of three and more points adong the polymer chain) (Freed, 1972). 

Macroshock, or simply electric shock, describes simultaneous contact between the body surface and two electrical conductors at different potentials, and the physiological consequences of this contact. The two conductors maybe a hot conductor and ground, or two hot conductors, such as two of the phase wires in a three-phase power distribution system.
