Well, particle

Because XPS is a surface sensitive technique, it recognizes how well particles are dispersed over a support. Figure 4.9 schematically shows two catalysts with the same quantity of supported particles but with different dispersions. When the particles are small, almost all atoms are at the surface, and the support is largely covered. In this case, XPS measures a high intensity Ip from the particles, but a relatively low intensity Is for the support. Consequently, the ratio Ip/Is is high. For poorly dispersed particles, Ip/Is is low. Thus, the XPS intensity ratio Ip/Is reflects the dispersion of a catalyst on the support. Several models have been reported that derive particle dispersions from XPS intensity ratios, frequently with success. Hence, XPS offers an alternative determination of dispersion for catalysts that are not accessible to investigation by the usual techniques used for particle size determination, such as electron microscopy and hydrogen chemisorption.

In previous work, the iGLE and WiGLE models have been illustrated through the use of free-particle, biased, and biased-washboard potentials. Rather than repeat these calculations, in this section we illustrate the dramatic role that the asymmetry in the nonstationary friction can play in the dynamics of the symmetric double-well potential. The specific question to be explored is whether the equilibrium position of the double-well particles is affected by the asymmetry in the nonstationary friction.

Note that we have only presented a few examples. Bulk density is a measure of how well particles pack together in a defined volinne. It depends on the shape of the particles comprising the powder. Most of the organic compounds (pharmaceuticals) will exhibit elongated shaped particles. Note that at least 50% of the voliunes presented in 4.1.12 are. in most cases, unoccupied space, i.e.-porosity. We conclude that if someone measures the particle size and the size distribution, we need to know exactly what was measured, often in terms of the particle shape. Particle size is customarily measured in terms of two-dimensioned (physical eispect) or three-dimensioned (volume) values. However, the particle size is often deseribed in terms of spheroidal diameters even though the peirticles may be aclcular in nature. 

The use of renewable feedstocks (i.e., biomass) in the production of fuels and value-added chemicals has attracted major interest from researchers and governments because of the anticipated shortages of traditional petrochemical industrial feedstocks [199]. An excellent overview of the milestones relating to the use of bioderived alcohols in the synthesis of higher value chemicals was recently presented by Hutchings et al. [200]. In this area as well, particle size effects can be identified yet care must be taken, as illustrated by a recent paper by Simakova et al. [201], which showed a bimodal Au particle size effect in the catalytic activity of Au-TiOj system in the gas-phase oxidation of ethanol.

In this section we present the results of a recent paper (Ben-Naim and Santos 2009) where we directly recalculated the KBIs for two component mixtures of particles interacting via square-well potential. The theoretical background is lengthy and will not be presented here. Instead, we show a sample of results for mixtures of square-well particles. It is shown that the results are in quantitative agreement with those obtained from the inversion of the Kirkwood-Buff theory of solution. We also... 

Here v and m denote the volume and mass of the molecule or atom, respectively. The r.h.s of Equation 32 denotes the ground-state energy of a quantum mechanical particle enclosed in a potential well (particle in a box problem [Martin and Leonard, 1970]). This condition is not satisfied for liquid helium and liquid hydrogen, while liquid neon is a borderline case. For the theoretical description of their thermophysical properties, application of the Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics sometimes does not suffice. Another assumption states that the internal degrees of freedom of the molecules or atoms are the same in the gas phase and in the liquid phase. In other words, it is assumed that the molecules can rotate and vibrate freely in the liquid phase, too. Molecular rotation may be hindered in the case of long-chain hydrocarbons or silicone fluids with side groups but also for small, nonspherical molecules such as N2,02, CS2, and others, rotation around two axes is restricted due to steric hindrance. Polar molecules exhibit restricted rotation due to the effect of dipolar orientation. 

Because eyedrops and ophthalmic ointments must not contain any bacteria, it is obvious that the eyes are the most delicate organs in the body. Therefore, drugs that are administered to the eyes cannot contain any bacteria, and as well, particle size, osmotic pressure, and stimulus capability are all controlled. Thus, applying a drug that absorbs water and then swells would be difficult. Further, any materials that disturb vision cannot be used.
