Apparent reducing power

Incorrect conclusion Since the special treatment mentioned apparently required electricity and because the homicidal gas chamber possessed an electrical ventilation, R.J. van Pelt concludes that Son-derbehandlung referred to homicidal gassings, which was made possible by operating the ventilation despite a reduced power supply.230... 

When maltose and cellobiose are irradiated with fast electrons in air-equilibrated, 50% solutions, the predominating reaction is hydrolysis, and the results suggest that the a-D linkage is the more labile, a conclusion in accord with the relative ease of hydrolysis of these disaccharides by acids. A number of samples of aqueous maltose solutions (20%) were irradiated with electrons to doses of 20 to 100 M rep. The apparent hydrolysis, as determined by the reducing power, increased linearly with dose, and this result has been interpreted in terms of the hydrolysis of only one bond. ... 

The first proposition, "conscious processes are subserved by neural activity", is in logical contradiction to the second, "conscious processes play causal roles", if the first proposition is taken to mean that for every conscious process that may be defined or intuited to exist, then there is necessarily a real, durational, and logical sequence of neurological operations in the brain which precedes and causes the conscious activity (causation must have duration and precede the effect which results), then the conscious process of the second proposition must be included it must also be caused by neurological activity, and so its apparent causative power is only a reaction to previous neurological causation. As i stated above, the mind, or consciousness, is thus reduced to having no actual causative power at all, it becomes an inoperative concept. 

In the case of the White dextrins, pyrolysis induces an apparent hydrolytic reaction, because, with time, there is a steady increase in reducing power and cold-water solubility and a steady decrease in viscosity. These characteristic changes are shown in Fig. 1. Pastes made from such dextrins show gelation, or set-back, properties comparable to those of the original starch. 

From Eq. (14.57) it is immediately apparent that in order to reduce power losses, it is imperative to... 

A direct hydrogen atom transfer has been shown to occur, on the other hand, from neutral 19-electron transients obtained by one-electron reduction of saturated cationic hydrides. These derivatives apparently have a reduced acidity relative to cationic 17-electron complexes, while the presence of an unpaired electron in an orbital which may have an M-H a component may further contribute to weaken the M-H bond homolytically. An example is provided by complex CpCoH(dppe), which forms as a transient by one-electron reduction of [CpCoH(dppe)]". Cobaltocene is a strong radical scavenger, and has sufficient reducing power to carry our the reduction of the cationic cobalt hydride. Thus, reaction of the Co(III) hydride complex with two equivalents of cobaltocene affords CpCoCCjHg) in 80 % isolated yields, according to the proposed mechanism of Scheme 19 [25]. 

Plots of the styrene-butadiene rubber blends give higher values of 2.45 to 2.65 for the exponent, as shown in Fig. 25. A possible explanation is that the styrene-butadiene rubber contains gels that do not participate in the dilution by the resin. Therefore, the resin concentration in the amorphous phase is higher than calculated which would reduce the modulus more than expected. This would result in an apparent higher power for the polymer volume fraction.
