An outlook

The field of material science is large and diverse. It encompasses many, very different, subjects. Some groups study how materials behave under stress and strain, or under pressure. Other groups manufacture materials that are hard to obtain, such as thin films or pure alloys, and measure properties of these materials. Yet other groups try to formulate theories for how the constituent atoms that make up the materials collaborate to produce the properties of the macroscopic samples that are used in everyday (and perhaps not so everyday) life, and use these models to make experiments with the help of computers. This gives a number of advantages in comparison to real experiments  

Recently, there has also been great interest in using theoretical data bases for applications. This is because the theoretical methods have increased their efficiency and accuracy so that calculations often produces results as good as experimental data, but with calculations it is also possible to measure quantities that are hard to measure experimentally. There are no reasons to believe that these theoretical databases will not have increasing importance in the future, especially with the continuing development of theoretical methods. 

At this stage, it is probably time to move into the more theoretical parts of the thesis, and this I do below.

Complementing these very well established approaches for the study of any scientific field, namely experiments and analytical theory, very recently, computer simulations have become a powerful tool for the study of a great variety of processes occurring in nature in general [4-6], as well as surface chemical reactions in particular [7]. Within this context, the aim of this chapter is not only to offer a critical overview of recent progress in the area of computer simulations of surface reaction processes, but also to provide an outlook of promising trends in most of the treated topics. 

We will start with the description of the method. After that the results are presented. Finally a summary and an outlook are given. 

Figure 20 shows a 3-D view of a generated non-Gaussian rough surface with an exponential autocorrelation and desired skewness and kurtosis of -1.75 and 5.0, respectively. The surface shows an outlook of a typical worn surface due to the negative skewness. The real values of SK and K were calculated as -1.7827 and 5.1104, a good agreement between specihed and real values. 

In this section an overview on the available technologies for continuous mixing and to compare its benefits with traditional batch mixing is discussed. Further work needs to be done before continuous mixing is widely accepted and an outlook in the next future will be discussed as well. 

The purpose of this article is to clarify the assessment of residue analytical methods in the context of Directive 91/414/EEC. After discussing the legal and historical background, requirements for enforcement methods as well as data generation methods are reviewed. Finally, an outlook over further developments in the assessment and validation of analytical methods is provided. 

Volume I primarily provides an outlook at various industrial sectors and the additives applied therein, whereas in the second volume, two risk assessment methods are presented and recommendations for further research activities are discussed. 

The paper is organized in the following way In Section 2, the principles of quasi-elastic neutron scattering are introduced, and the method of NSE is shortly outlined. Section 3 deals with the polymer dynamics in dense environments, addressing in particular the influence and origin of entanglements. In Section 4, polymer networks are treated. Section 5 reports on the dynamics of linear homo- and block copolymers, of cyclic and star-shaped polymers in dilute and semi-dilute solutions, respectively. Finally, Section 6 summarizes the conclusions and gives an outlook. 

This volume gives an overview of the current status and an outlook to future more reliable predictive approaches. It is subdivided in five sections dealing with studies of membrane permeability and oral absorption, drug dissolution and solubility, the role of transporters and metabolism in oral absorption, computational approaches to drug absorption and bioavailability, and finally with certain drug development issues. 

After raising a selection of topical issues in this field and briefly introducing some spectroscopic and numerical techniques to probe the hydrogen bond dynamics, recent results for alcohol clusters are presented in order of increasing complexity. They are followed by some general conclusions and an outlook on future research goals.

To the best of our knowledge, apart from the above-mentioned systems of Miller and Neenan and the dendrimers presented by our group, no further work on large, highly branched polyphenylene dendrimers has been reported. This chapter will start therefore with the different ways of synthesizing these dendrimers, followed by their functionalization, characterization, and some applications. Finally, we present an outlook describing future work. 

An outlook on what has been learned, where flaws are observed and what is needed from theoreticians to further improve the arsenal of methods available to the experimentalist to track short-lived intermediates and to gain insight in their reactions will conclude this survey based on own incomplete experience. 

The book concludes by providing an outlook on possible future development in this field. Researchers and practitioners engaged in active work on synthetic or mechanistic organic chemistry and its practical applications will find this text to be invaluable in both its scope and its depth. ... 

This book also provides a review of the current practical applications as well as an outlook on those predicted to be important in the near future. The reader will leam of the progress that has been made in technical developments by utilizing the organic ion-radicals. Electronic and optoelectronic devices, organic magnets and conductors, lubricants, other materials, and reactions of industrial or biomedical importance are considered. 

Finally, Sec. 9 gives an outlook on the future developments of the BioPrint project. 

We conclude by providing a few examples illustrating the peculiarities of sampling phase space via MC for nontrivial systems relevant to the biomacromolecular field. We provide an outlook regarding current challenges and the potential strategies that can be developed or adopted to overcome these challenges. 

Finally, an outlook into the possible future of highly fluorinated compounds as drug-delivering ocular endotamponades will be given. 

As an outlook, the optimization of the efficiency of microorganisms with methods of genetic engineering will result in an increased sensitivity, selectivity, and stability, in connection with the further miniaturization of biosensor systems, especially the development of portable biosensor measuring devices, represents a promising feature for environmental monitoring by microbial... 

Liquid/liquid partition constants within pharmaceutical chemistry have been of primary interest because of tlieir correlation with liquid/membrane partitioning behavior. A sufficiently fluid membrane may, in some sense, be regarded as a solvent. With such an outlook, tlie partitioning phenomenon may again be regarded as a liquid/liquid example, amenable to treatment with standard continuum techniques. Of course, accurate continuum solvation models typically rely on the availabihty of solvation free energies or bulk solvent properties in order to develop useful parameterizations, and such data may be sparse or non-existent for membranes. Some success, however, has been demonstrated for predicting such data either by intuitive or statistical analysis (see, for example. Chambers etal. 1999).
