Effect of particle shape Sample Clauses

Effect of particle shape. The proposed VSSA threshold 60m²/cm³ is calculated for a monodispersed distribution of spherical particles with a 100 nm diameter. A generalization of the use of VSSA to another non-spherical particle can be considered by defining a characteristic, representative dimension corresponding to the smallest size of the particles. The concept of an “equivalent sphere diameter” is typically dependent on the measurement technique and may not apply to decide if a material is a nanomaterial or not. It is better to define a characteristic size for each particle shape. Such an approach was made for various particle shapes considering for particles of unit density; the VSSA is simply the ratio between the external surface area of the particle and its volume. As a result of this study, it appears that the VSSA threshold value varies from 60m²/cm³ for spherical or cubic particles to 40 m²/cm³ for fibers and rods; to 20m²/cm³ for sheet-like or platelets objects. Intermediate values can be considered if the aspect ratios for rods or platelets is known. Depending on the particle shape and characteristic size, the VSSA threshold value for monodispersed particle size distribution, can be expressed by: VSSA = a/D, where D represents the characteristic size of the particle and “a” is a positive numerical constant depending on the shape and on the density of the particles.

  • Effect of Waiver or Consent A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Company. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.

  • Effect of Agreement Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to require to the Trust to take any action contrary to its Declaration of Trust or its By-Laws or any applicable law, regulation or order to which it is subject or by which it is bound, or to relieve or deprive the Trustees of the Trust of their responsibility for and control of the conduct of the business and affairs of the Trust.

  • Effect of Consent (a) After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it will bind every Holder unless it is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected. If the amendment, supplement or waiver is of the type requiring the consent of each Holder affected, the amendment, supplement or waiver will bind each Holder that has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder. (b) If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Note, the Trustee may require the Holder to deliver it to the Trustee so that the Trustee may place an appropriate notation of the changed terms on the Note and return it to the Holder, or exchange it for a new Note that reflects the changed terms. The Trustee may also place an appropriate notation on any Note thereafter authenticated. However, the effectiveness of the amendment, supplement or waiver is not affected by any failure to annotate or exchange Notes in this fashion.

  • Revocation and Effect of Consent Until an amendment or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the Note of the consenting Holder, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion of its Note. Such revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective on receipt by the Trustee of written consents from the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Notes. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then, notwithstanding the last two sentences of the immediately preceding paragraph, those persons who were Holders at such record date (or their duly designated proxies) and only those persons shall be entitled to consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such persons continue to be Holders after such record date. No such consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date.
