The structure of a real biopolymer landscape is highly complex. Recently, researchers have started to understand some of the properties of proteins that lead to specific landscape structures. To simplify the problem, it is desirable to identify which physical characteristic of proteins give rise to dynamic trends in evolution. In this section, we review the experimentally deduced properties of coupling and additivity, with the intention of demonstrating that these properties are correlated and discussing the landscape features that they produce.

Currently, the trend in process control is away from centrahzed process control and toward an increased number of small distributed-control or PLC systems. This trend will put emphasis on the evolution of the fieldbus controller and continued growth of the PC-based controller. Also, as hardware and software improves, the functionality of the controller will increase, and the supporting hardware will be physically smaller. Hence, the traditional lines between the DCS and the PLC will become less distinct as systems will be capable of supporting either function set.

Things are different when a scientist has to give a overview of the future trends of his discipline. Prediction is an art, more than a science, and also the more modest goal of a critical appraisal of the trends of evolution, and of selection of a set of themes for which progress is expected or hoped cannot be performed with the same instruments used in the everyday research.

The evolution of HALS technology to meet the requirements of emerging polyolefin markets and applications is a story of continuous improvement and structure/property optimisation [19-21], Current trends in the industry are toward low-volatility, extraction-resistant, hindered phenolic AOs, such as oligomeric polysiloxane based, high-MW antioxidants... 

Why this is so cannot be explained. Egually inexplicable is the trend towards the more-complex structures and systems observed in evolution. Even if we conclude from this that life in its beginning had to be relatively simple, it was still not primitive. Manfred Eigen (Nobel Prize 1967) in particular pointed out that one property of matter must have played a decisive role the ability to self-assemble. From there he postulated that "Life comes into existence when the conditions for it are suitable". Could a different life have come into existence had the conditions been different We don t know. Instead, we know a lot about life that we can observe and investigate.

Because of decreased SO2 emissions, the importance of nitrogen for freshwater acidification becomes more and more determinant. Therefore, uncertainties in the evolution of nitrogen emissions make it difficult to predict future trends in freshwater recovery. On the other hand, climate warming may increase the number of alkaline rain episodes (containing Saharan dust) and enhance weathering reactions, which buffer better acid precipitation, increasing alkalinity and pH.

With reference to Fig. 6.7, note there is no photocatalytic activity without Ft loading [99] the rate of gas evolution increases with increasing Ft content reaching a maximum at 0.3 wt%. Other metals have shown similar trends in photocatalytic activity. Therefore, it is suggested that metal loading is one of the essential requirements for photocatalytic decomposition of liquid water. However the back reaction of evolved gas on the Ft particles increases with Ft loading. To suppress the backward reaction of H2...

There is also an apparent trend in manufacturing operations toward simplification by direct processing. Examples of this include the oxidation of ethylene for direct manufacture of ethylene oxide the direct hydration of ethylene to produce ethyl alcohol production of chlorinated derivatives by direct halogenation in place of round-about syntheses and the manufacture of acrolein by olefin oxidation. The evolution of alternate sources, varying process routes, and competing end products has given the United States aliphatic chemical industry much of its vitality and ability to adjust to varying market conditions.
