We have presented an approach to prove the compliance of an implementation to a safety specification. Our approach currently supports Matlab/Stateflow models. The safety properties are specified using safety contracts. Therefore, a safety view of a system can be built, which allows to reason about the correct refinement of safety requirements (by using virtual integration techniques for contracts) and an correct fulfillment of these requirements by an implementation. This reduces verification effort, since integration tests can be replaced to a certain extent.

Agility requires the ability to be able to respond to local market demands and opportunities. However, companies should still aim to employ skills and capabilities across the regions in which they operate. This means they need to establish and strive for shared goals across their business units as a form of virtual integration, with local operations remaining in place and the focus staying on local customer service (van Hoek etal, 2001). 

In order to be able to reduce prices, even more and more test- and measurement systems are integrated on PC-boards. The powerful and inexpensive PC eomponents can be directly u.sed for these (virtual) instruments. The limited dimensions of the PC boards require a reduction to the absolute necessity of the electronic components. Analogue signal proeessing must carried out by software as far as possible.

The Landolt reaction (iodate + reductant) is prototypical of an autocatalytic clock reaction. During the induction period, the absence of the feedback species (Irere iodide ion, assumed to have virtually zero initial concentration and fomred from the reactant iodate only via very slow initiation steps) causes the reaction mixture to become kinetically frozen . There is reaction, but the intemiediate species evolve on concentration scales many orders of magnitude less than those of the reactant. The induction period depends on the initial concentrations of the major reactants in a maimer predicted by integrating the overall rate cubic autocatalytic rate law, given in section A3.14.1.1.

As a result, the exaet CC equations are quartic equations for the ti , ti gte. amplitudes. Although it is a rather formidable task to evaluate all of the eommutator matrix elements appearing in the above CC equations, it ean be and has been done (the referenees given above to Purvis and Bartlett are espeeially relevant in this eontext). The result is to express eaeh sueh matrix element, via the Slater-Condon rules, in terms of one- and two-eleetron integrals over the spin-orbitals used in determining , ineluding those in itself and the Virtual orbitals not in . 

There is, in principle, no reason why linear combinations should not be made between AOs which have the correct symmetry but very different energies, such as the lx orbital on the oxygen atom and the lx orbital on the phosphorus atom. The result would be that the resonance integral /i (see Figure 7.12) would be extremely small so that the MOs would be virtually unchanged from the AOs and the linear combination would be ineffective. 

The process monitors and controllers typically also have the capabiUty for data logging, analysis, and display. This capabiUty has made on-line control of pilot plants, as well as commercial-scale processes, desirable. Pilot-plant appHcations for on-line control have been described (106), and the use of such systems for both monitoring and process diagnosis has been discussed (107). A number of commercially available process control programs that mn on microprocessors have been reviewed (108). Virtually all of them incorporate graphic display as an integral part of the interactive capabiUty of the program. 

Adhesive bonding is an integral part of virtually all composite structure. Early composite matrix resins could in some cases act as an adhesive, such as with self-filleting systems used for honeycomb sandwich fabrication. As composite systems became more optimized for minimum resin content and limited flow, supplementary adhesives became more common. Modern-day composite structure relies on adhesives almost as much as bonded metallic structure.
