moves you remember best take place at tracks where to overtake is still a huge challenge, but most I RECKON ONE PASS AT SPA IS EQUAL TO ABOUT FIVE AT SEPANG OR THE LIKE ” importantly perhaps, at circuits where there is an element of jeopardy if the move should go amiss. And that’s important. At this year’s Bahrain Grand Prix Mark Webber made a mistake and went sailing off the track – I forget which corner, they all look the same.

percent to mass of one component per unit volume of material (i.e., from units of wt% to kg/m3); this latter composition scheme is often used in diffusion computations (Section 5.3). Concentrations in terms of this basis will be denoted using a double prime (i.e., and ), and the relevant equations are as follows: (4.9a) (4.9b) For density in units of g/cm3, these expressions yield and in kg/m3. Furthermore, on occasion we desire to determine the density and atomic weight of a…

such as CALPERS, for example, now hold major stock positions in many companies. The influence of these major market players is so significant that, if they are displeased, corporate executives will find that their positions within the company are in jeopardy. Armed with easily available and inexpensive information about investees and their competitors, large institutional investors raise the competitive bar very high and shorten the periods over which success is measured. Our focus group…

at the transition of phases with different refractive indices causing specular reflectance (Vogelmann 1993; Barnes and Cardoso-Vilhena 1996). Electronic absorption of radiation depends on the presence of linear or cyclic compounds including several double bonds (Cockell and Knowland 1999) such as phenolics, hydroxycinnamic acids, colorless flavonoids or anthocyanins (Krauss et al. 1997; Olsson et al. 1998; Harborne and Williams 2000; Markst¨ dter et al. 2001). Their primary role is the…
