The study of chemistry, Walt told us right at the start, is all about "growth, decay, transformation", and that's what we got.
Enhancement of the ozone dosage in this system accelerated the mineralization, i.e., the decrease of the total organic carbon content (TOC), more than the decay (transformation) of BS.
And who could have imagined that, after several decades of slow decay, the transformation would be as fast as a game of three-card monte.
He told his students — the few who were listening — that chemistry is the "science of change" and broke life down to its essence: "It is growth, then decay, then transformation".
The story's preoccupation with emotional isolation, abandonment, decay and transformation has keen parallels, I thought, with the arc of some human lives (a metaphor that will, fortunately, sail over the heads of most young readers).
The heavier quarks rapidly change into up and down quarks through a process of particle decay: the transformation from a higher mass state to a lower mass state.
However these chemical processes are also used to mirror the themes and ideas that I'm trying to investigate in the works, i.e. moral, personal, psychological, societal and political corrosion, decay and transformation.
For his first local solo show in 14 years — and one of the best gallery exhibitions of the season — L.A.-based Conceptual artist Paul Sietsema has fashioned a challenging reconsideration of classic artistic themes of decay and transformation.
In this model, stochastic events, such as the production, decay, or transformation of molecular species, are represented by reaction rates.
To generate annual pollutant concentration estimates, ASPEN uses information on meteorological conditions, the location and height of pollutant release, rate of release, and pollutant deposition, reactive decay, and transformation properties.
