Kinetic processes were studied during the batch precipitation of SrMo04 (mixing equimolar solutions of SrCl2 and Na2Mo04 at 25 °C) over a range of supersaturations and under different stirring modes. Primary heterogeneous nucleation was predominant, with homogeneous nucleation becoming significant at S > 27, following which diffusion-controlled growth became dominant. Secondary nucleation was not detected under the conditions studied. Soon after the induction period, the small individual crystals agglomerated orthokinetically and the agglomerate size depended on both the intensity of stirring and the initial supersaturation. Toward the end of the precipitation, the agglomerate particle size distribution stabilized and was no longer affected by prolonged agitation.

Formulates a new theoretical basis for a formal approach to strategies for multidimensional investment. Summarizes the concepts on which the model is based and shows how they are combined within a dynamic schema. In order to prepare operational policies for multidimensional investment, enlarges the basic notion underlying investment epistemology, i.e. capital. Defines and analyses the concept of multidimensional capital and develops the notion of how to model dynamic networks of interacting active units, w hich self‐organize a multidimensional field into which systemic strategies of investment can be inserted
