Augmented space techniques

The technique of combining CPA concepts with a continued fraction analysis of the Green s function should also be invaluable in connection with the study of disorder with augmented space techniques. Progress is expected when memory function methods are systematically used in the mentioned areas of investigation. 

Two-dimensional data analysis [160, 161] is a very powerful technique that examines correlated changes in spectra with changes in any other measurement of sample perturbation. The elegance of the method demonstrated in earlier studies has been extensively augmented by finer details on application and numerous examples. The primary advantage of two-dimensional correlation analysis lies in the extension of data examination space to a second domain. Subtle changes that may not be easily discernable in spectra and even weak spectral effects may be easily enhanced and understood in the context of molecular spectra [162]. 

Subspace state-space models are developed by using techniques that determine the largest directions of variation in the data to build models. Two subspace methods, PCA and PLS have already been introduced in Sections 4.2 and 4.3. Usually, they are used with steady-state data, but they could also be used to develop models for dynamic relations by augmenting the appropriate data matrices with lagged values of the variables. In recent years, dynamic model development techniques that rely on subspace concepts have been proposed [158, 159, 307, 313]. Subspace methods are introduced in this section to develop state-space models for process monitoring and closed-loop control. 

To include the information about process d3mamics in the models, the data matrix can be augmented with lagged values of data vectors, or model identification techniques such as subspace state-space modeling can be used (Section 4.5). Negiz and Cinar [209] have proposed the use of state variables developed with canonical variates based realization to implement SPM to multivariable continuous processes. Another approach is based on the use of Kalman filter residuals [326]. MSPM with dynamic process models is discussed in Section 5.3. The last section (Section 5.4) of the chapter gives a brief survey of other approaches proposed for MSPM.

Modern chemistry is aided profoundly by the advancement of x-ray techniques, and crown ether chemistry is no exception. Our understanding of solution coinplexaiion has been augmented by numerous solid-state structures. Among the earliest crown ether complexes to appear were those reported by Truter and Bush. Numerous other contributions to this area were reviewed by Dobler. In brief, many crown ethers are solid and form regular crystals. Because they possess an empty central space, one or more methylene residues typically turns inward to fill the molecular void. When complexation of a cation occurs, the methylene rotates outward so that the bound cation will be accessible to all of the macroring donors.
