ot all the properties of alkenes are revealed by focusing exclusively on the func- tional group behavior of the double bond. A double bond can affect the proper- ties of a second functional unit to which it is directly attached. It can be a sub- stituent, for example, on a positively charged carbon in an allylic carbocation, or on a carbon that bears an unpaired electron in an allylic free radical, or it can

10.1 Basic definitions A failure is an unacceptable behaviour exhibited by a system —The frequency of failures measures the reliability —An important design objective is to achieve a very low failure rate and hence high reliability. —A failure can result from a violation of an explicit or implicit requirement

An item of information to be recognized as an element (i.e. formally recorded and reported in the body of the financial statements), an item must

In this Chapter, many of the basic concepts and tools of theoretical chemistry are discussed only at an introductory level and without providing much of the background needed to fully comprehend them. Most of these topics are covered again in considerably more detail in Chapters 6-8, which focus on the three primary sub-disciplines of the field. The purpose of the present Chapter is to give you an overview of the field that you will learn the details of in these later Chapters

An interesting property of an M/M/1 queue, which greatly simplifies combining these queues into a network, is the surprising fact that the output of an M/M/1 queue with arrival rate λ is a Poisson process of rate

If you think participating in a programming contest is stressful, imagine being an air traffic controller. With human lives at stake, an air traffic controller has to focus on tasks while working under constantly changing conditions as well as dealing with unforeseen events. Consider the task of scheduling the airplanes that are landing at an airport. Incoming airplanes report their positions, directions, and speeds, and then the controller has to devise a landing schedule that brings all

A hydrocarbon whose molecules contain two double bonds is called an alkadiene(alkatriene for three double bonds); A hydrocarbon with two triple bonds is called an alkadiyne; A hydrocarbon with a double and triple bond is called an alkenyne

Energy and the Relative Stability Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because of its motion. Potential energy is stored energy. It exists only when an attractive or repulsive force exists between objects

I At about this point, a feeling of loneliness may begin to overtake us__ an \epistemic loneliness.\ For the egocentric predicament is really an epistcmologica1 condition: isolation within a world of our own making. We live in a shell, so to speak, a private, personal shell inside which takes place an immense variety of experiences
