It is evident from the foregoing discussion that an exact determination of the electrophoretic mobility, which can be utilised for identifying a substance, is accompanied in heterogeneous systems by many difficulties. In electrophoresis with supporting medium, one thus works in practice with the concept of apparent instead of real mobility. 

Unfortunately there is no unambiguous definition of apparent mobility, similar to that of the exactly specified i /-values in chromatography. Various terms have become accepted, causing confusion, such as Mg-, Ef-, R - and mr-values. The data of different authors are therefore not necessarily comparable. 

Foster [198] has used2,3,4,6-tetramethyl-D-glucose as non-migrating substance and glucose as reference substance for carbohydrate separations 

A reference substance, electrically neutral under the experimental conditions, i. e., non-migrating, is applied together with the unknown substance on the start line. 

Another method is to express the migration distance of the unknown substance in relation to that of a likewise migrating, but known substance. The migration is then calculated from the equation

Equivalent mass— Mass of any substance participating in a reaction per unit of reference species. 

The second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor represents a contact force density measured in the reference configuration per unit of reference area. 

If for a branch y- is the mean square distance for the unit of reference to the unit i, then we obtain... 

In gas reservoir engineering, the gas expansion factor, E, is commonly used. However, in oil reservoir engineering it is often more convenient to refer to the gas formation volume factor which is the reciprocal E, and is expressed in units of scf/stb (using field units). The reason for this will become apparent in Section 8. 

Now integrate the equation (5) taking into account the formulae for pi and pN. As a result we arrive to the specific volume flow rate in a film, referred to the unit of length for cross section ... 

A unifonn monoenergetic beam of test or projectile particles A with nnmber density and velocity is incident on a single field or target particle B of velocity Vg. The direction of the relative velocity m = v -Vg is along the Z-axis of a Cartesian TTZ frame of reference. The incident current (or intensity) is then = A v, which is tire number of test particles crossing unit area nonnal to the beam in unit time. The differential cross section for scattering of the test particles into unit solid angle dO = d(cos vji) d( ) abont the direction ( )) of the final relative motion is... 

The same reference unit of Figure 2-86 is also used here for the determination of the permutation descriptor of the trans isomer. In the same manner as above, wc write down the permutation matrices of the two structures, and then determine the transpositions (Figure 2-87),... 

Refer to Computer Project 7-2. Calculate p in units of electron volts using Wheland s extension of Huckel molecular orbital theory. 

Spectroscopically determined values of P vai y, but they aie usually around —2.4 eV. In the section on resonance stabilization, we saw that thermodynamic measurements of the total resonance stabilization of butadiene yield 11 and 29 kJ mol according to the reference standard chosen. Calculate the delocalization energy of buta-1,3-diene in units of p. Determine two values for the size of the energy unit p from the thermochemical estimates given. Do these agree well or poorly with the spectroscopic values ...

Units. The unit of sound absorption is the metric sabin, which is equivalent to one square meter of "perfect" absorption, eg, one square meter of a material with a = 1.0. The Knglish unit of sound absorption is the sabin, which is equivalent to one square foot of perfect absorption. In order to avoid confusion, the designation metric should always be used when referring to metric sabins. The number of metric sabins of absorption provided by an area of material is calculated by multiplying its area by its sound-absorption coefficient. For example, 10 m of material having a sound-absorption coefficient of 0.75 provides 7.5 metric sabins of absorption. 

Units and Rating Procedures. The unit of sound pressure level is the decibel (dB), defined as follows where L is the sound pressure level, p is the measured sound pressure, andis the reference sound pressure of 20 p.Pa. TL and AiR also are expressed in decibels. 

The diphenylsulfone group is suppHed to the repeat unit of aU polysulfones by DCDPS the differentiating species between various polysulfones comes from the choice of bisphenol. There are three commercially important polysulfones referred to genericaHy by the common names polysulfone (PSF), polyethersulfone (PES), and polyphenylsulfone (PPSF). The repeat units of these polymers are shown in Table 1.

The diametei of average mass and surface area are quantities that involve the size raised to a power, sometimes referred to as the moment, which is descriptive of the fact that the surface area is proportional to the square of the diameter, and the mass or volume of a particle is proportional to the cube of its diameter. These averages represent means as calculated from the different powers of the diameter and mathematically converted back to units of diameter by taking the root of the moment. It is not unusual for a polydispersed particle population to exhibit a diameter of average mass as being one or two orders of magnitude larger than the arithmetic mean of the diameters. In any size distribution, the relation ia equation 4 always holds. 

In 1949 the World Health Organization adopted the biological activity of 1 mg of an oil solution containing 0.025 p.g of crystalline D as the analytical standard for vitamin D. This standard was discontinued in 1972. USP uses crystalline cholecalciferol as a standard (80). Samples of reference standard may be purchased from U.S. Pharmacopeia Convention, Inc., Reference Standards Order Department, 12601, Twinbrook Parkway, Rockville, Maryland 20852. One international unit of vitamin D activity is that activity demonstrated by 0.025 ]1 of pure crystalline (7 -vitamin D. One gram of vitamin D3 is equivalent to 40 x 10 lU or USP units. The international chick unit (ICU) is identical to the USP unit.
