In most cases there may be only a few days of exposure a year but in some there may be more frequent exposure over the entire year. One approach that has been taken to obtain a lifetime dally exposure under these circumstances has been to conduct a worker field study and measure the exposure received for one day. This is multiplied by the number of days worked in a year and then by the number of working years. This is an Amortized Daily Exposure. 

Scriven (1967) first distinguished between the formative and summative roles of evaluation. Formative evaluations, conducted during the implementation of a safety program, provide directors information that helps improve the program. Formative evaluation typically involves content inspection by experts, pilot tests with small numbers of workers, field tests with larger numbers of workers in several plants, and so forth. Each step results in immediate feedback to the developers, who would then use the information to make necessary revisions (Worthen and Sanders 1987,34). 

Rowell and co-workers [62-64] have developed an electrophoretic fingerprint to uniquely characterize the properties of charged colloidal particles. They present contour diagrams of the electrophoretic mobility as a function of the suspension pH and specific conductance, pX. These fingerprints illustrate anomalies and specific characteristics of the charged colloidal surface. A more sophisticated electroacoustic measurement provides the particle size distribution and potential in a polydisperse suspension. Not limited to dilute suspensions, in this experiment, one characterizes the sonic waves generated by the motion of particles in an alternating electric field. O Brien and co-workers have an excellent review of this technique [65]. 

It is important to evaluate the surface distortion associated with the assymetric field at the surface, a difficult task often simplified by assuming that distortion is limited to the direction normal to the plane [64, 6S]. Benson and co-workers [6S] calculated displacements for the first five planes in the (100) face of sodium chloride and found the distortion correction to of about 100 ergs/cm or about half of itself The displacements show a tendency toward ion pair formation, suggesting that lateral displacements to produce ion doublets should be considered [66] however, other calculations yielded much smaller displacements [67]. 

A catalyst may play an active role in a different sense. There are interesting temporal oscillations in the rate of the Pt-catalyzed oxidation of CO. Ertl and coworkers have related the effect to back-and-forth transitions between Pt surface structures [220] (note Fig. XVI-8). See also Ref. 221 and citations therein. More recently Ertl and co-workers have produced spiral as well as plane waves of surface reconstruction in this system [222] as well as reconstruction waves on the Pt tip of a field emission microscope as the reaction of H2 with O2 to form water occurred [223]. Theoretical simulations of these types of effects have been reviewed [224]. 

Because surface science employs a multitude of teclmiques, it is necessary that any worker in the field be acquainted with at least the basic principles underlying tlie most popular ones. These will be briefly described here. For a more detailed discussion of the physics underlymg the major surface analysis teclmiques, see the appropriate chapter m this encyclopedia, or [49]. 

One of the first cluster embedding schemes was put forth by Ellis and co-workers [172]. They were interested in studying transition metal impurities in NiAl alloys, so they considered a TMAl cluster embedded in a periodic self-consistent crystal field appropriate for bulk p -NiAl. The field was calculated via calculations, as was the cluster itself The idea was to provide a relatively inexpensive alternative to supercell DET calculations. 

It should be pointed out tliat not all workers in the field are convinced of this particular explanation, appealing though it is. 

Winstein, one of the most brilliant chemists of his time, concluded that it is attractive to account for these results by way of the bridged (non-classical) formulation for the norbornyl cation involving accelerated rate of formation from the exo precursor [by anchimeric assistance His formulation of the norbornyl cation as a cr-bridged species stimulated other workers in the solvolysis field to interpret results in a variety of systems in similar terms of rr-delocalized, bridged carbonium... 

The first three of a series of papers by Ridd and co-workers on Inductive and Field effects in Aromatic Substitution have appeared. Results of studies of the nitration of 4-phenylp5nidine and of 4-benzylpyridine in aqueous sulphuric acid were reported and use of the usual criteria (para 8.2) showed that in each case the conjugate acid was the species undergoing nitration. The values of where fm refers to the corresponding homocyclic compound (biphenyl or diphenylmethane) when plotted against r, the distance between the... 

The second edition, like the first, is addressed to those workers in academic laboratories or industrial laboratories who are not necessarily specialists in the field of gas adsorption, but whose work is concerned either directly or indirectly with the characterization of finely divided or porous solids. 

Although the results presented in Fig. 5.2 appear to verify the predictions of Eq. (5.16), this verification is not free from controversy. This controversy arises because various workers in this field employ different criteria in evaluating the success of the relationships we have presented in fitting experimental polymerization data. One school of thought maintains that an adequate kinetic description of a process must apply to the data over a large part of the time of the experiment.
