 I Can't Follow This
swansont writes: How to give directions
According to Alycia Hund and colleagues at Illinois State University, there are two ways to give directions. One is using a so-called "route perspective", as in the example above.

The Quality Factor
swansont writes: Interesting question over at Incoherently Scattered Ponderings: How do you measure "quality" of education?
Part of it is the assumption that you get a better education at certain schools — the feedback loop of good schools having the ability to be selective in both the faculty and the students it accepts. And that's probably valid — if the qua… more» |

higher orders of bonds
If you imagine the metal metal bond in the z direction then s, pz, f5z3-3zr2 are of the correct symmetry for sigma bonds (0 nodes), px, py, dxz,dyz, f5xz2-xr2 and f5yz2-yr2 are of the correct symmetry for pi bonding (1 node) , dx2-y2, dxy, fxyz and fzx2-zy2 are of the correct symmetry for delta...

Heat exchanger efficiency
Well... the problem challenge that you have, as I said before, is that the energy contents (the energy that can be exchanged) is not equal on both sides. So there would already be 2 ways to define the efficiency (both sides of the heat exchanger).
