Clusters active

Coordinated by the positive feedback these simple rules induce between robots and their environment, the result, over time, is a seemingly intelligent, coordinated sorting activity. Clusters of randomly distributed objects spontaneously and quite naturally emerge out of a simple set of autonomous local actions having nothing at all to do with clustering per se. 

A second option is to apply the membrane on the particle level (millimeter scale) by coating catalyst particles with a selective layer. As a third option, application at the microlevel (submicrometer scale) is distinguished. This option encompasses, for example, zeolite-coated crystals or active clusters (e.g., metal nanoparticles). Advantages of the latter two ways of application are that there are no sealing issues, it is easy to scale-up, the membrane area is large per unit volume, and, if there is a defect in the membrane, this will have a very limited effect on the overall reactor performance. Because of these advantages, it is believed that using a zeolite... 

The proposed Re6 cluster (8) with terminal and bridged-oxygen atoms acts as a catalytic site for selective propene oxidation under a mixture of propene, Oz and NH3. When the Re6 catalyst is treated with propene and Oz at 673 K, the cluster is transformed back to the inactive [Re04] monomers (7), reversibly. This is the reason why the catalytic activity is lost in the absence of ammonia (Table 8.5). Note that NH3, which is not involved in the reaction equation for the acrolein formation (C3H6+02->CH2=CHCH0+H20) is a prerequisite for the catalytic reaction as it produces the active cluster structure under the catalytic reaction conditions. 

The results showed a 59% confirmation rate (41% false positive rate), giving 4296 confirmed actives. Of the compounds initially selected with >40% inhibition, 69% confirmed at >40% inhibition. This can be broken down further into compounds that feU into enriched clusters and those that did not, with confirmation rates of 73 and 68% respectively. In this case, there was only a modest increase in the confirmation rate for compounds selected from enriched clusters. This might be attributed to the fact that the enrichment within the active clusters was only about 50% greater than the background hit rate (21 versus 14.7%) in contrast to the peptide hydrolase case where the enrichment was 2.6-fold higher.

C active clusters with size R are defined by randomly placing C nonoverlapping circles of radius R into the 2D space of the simulated dataset. Points that happened to be within each of the C circles are defined as active points, which simulate C clusters of active molecules while points outside the circles are defined inactive. Each cluster with active points is referred to as an active cluster. 

If a point sampled happened to be an active point, it is counted as an individual hit. Thus, the number of active points sampled by a particular method is defined as the individual hit rate obtained by that method. On the other hand, in order to characterize the representativeness of a sampling, we define the concept of a cluster hit as follows. If one or more points are sampled from an active cluster, we define that this active cluster is sampled and counted as a cluster hit. Therefore, the number of active clusters sampled by a particular method is defined as the cluster hit rate obtained by that method. 

Fig. 1. (A) Comparison of individual hits obtained by the S A sampling and random sampling (cluster size 7 = 0.1). The comparison was performed when different numbers of active clusters exist in the data set. (B) Comparison of cluster hits obtained by the SA sampling and random sampling (cluster size R = 0.1). The comparison was performed when different numbers of active clusters exist in the data set.

When R — 0.2, the percentage of active points (i.e., active compounds) in the dataset is from 2.56% to 12.6%. When individual hit rates are considered, the SA sampling performs about the same as or slightly better than random sampling in all cases of different C s (data not shown). Flowever, when cluster hit rates are considered, the SA sampling performs clearly better than corresponding random sampling, especially when the number of active clusters (C) increased (data not shown).

The compound FeCo2(CO)9S thus prepared forms large black crystals. In this form it is virtually air stable (not so in solution). Its purity can be checked by IR spectroscopy [vco bands in cyclohexane solution at 2105 (w), 2069 (vs), 2055(vs), 2044(s), 2030(m), 1983(m), 1951 (vw)cm-1]. It is moderately soluble in all organic solvents to give reddish-brown solutions. It has been used for various ligand substitution and metal exchange reactions whereby the first optically active clusters were obtained.14,15... 

The clusters are also very similar to each other in size, with an average area of 500 A. This area corresponds to a side length of a triangle of approximately 30 A, which corresponds well to the dimensions of the active clusters in typical HDS catalysts. As a model system for the HDS catalyst, the clusters are therefore a well-characterized reference for further experiments to elucidate details of the structure of the active edges and the reactivity with adsorbed molecules. 

The reactivity of carbonyl clusters can be enhanced substantially by the use of their activated derivatives which contain such labile ligands as acetonitrile, ethene, or cyclooctene. For example, it was the synthesis of acetonitrile derivatives Os3(CO)12 x(NCMe)x (x = 1,2)1 that spurred the development of the chemistry of this trinuclear cluster.2-4 In general, the reactions of the activated clusters occur under mild conditions and result in high selectivities and yields. 

ESR-active clusters will be oxidized 3Fe, oxidized HiPIP, reduced 2Fe and reduced 4Fe (Fd). Further distinction may be made by consideration of the dependence on magnetic fields of the shift in g value induced by an externally applied electric field (linear electric field effect). This effect is similar for 3Fe and 4Fe ferredoxins, but is considerably different for both 2Fe and HiPIP clusters, which also differ from each other. Thus, all four classes of iron-sulfur protein (2Fe, 3Fe, Fd and HiPIP) may be distinguished by a combination of ESR and LEFE properties.814 ... 

There is not yet, however, a definite detection of diffuse gamma-ray emission from galaxy clusters. While there is a preliminary evidence of gamma-ray emission from a dozen bright, radio-active clusters which host powerful radio galaxies and Blazars and are associated to unidentified EGRET sources (Co-lafrancesco 2002), many of the quiet, X-ray selected clusters only have upper limits for their emission at E > 100 MeV.
