Clearly one of the most important goals of the Encyclopedia < Supramolecular Chemistry then is to provide a broad-based overview of the discipline and to capture the significance of research in this area, with special emphasis on a synthesis of the concepts and language of supramolecular chemistry across a wide range of related disciplines. Furthermore, this Encyclopedia is not written by, nor written exclusively for "supramolecular chemists" it is for students and practitioners of the chemistry (indeed science) of the noncovalent bond wherever it occurs. We have made specific efforts to direct the reader to the defining literature in the field and specifically included cross-references to help the researcher locate other entries of interest. 

In recent years, titania in general gained a lot of interest in the field of photocatalysis. Here, the titania is not only support but also catalyst. Various review articles with hundreds of references have been published in the last 10 years [56-59]. Mills and Lee [60] reported about a Web-based overview of current commercial applications. One big field of application is the treatment of (waste) water and air by photodegradation of inorganic compounds (like ammonia and nitrates) and organic substances (like chlorinated aliphatic and aromatic compounds) as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air. Even 2,4,6,-trinitrotoluene (TNT) can be completely destroyed under aerobic conditions by the use of AEROXIDE TiOj P 25...

Arnold Warzog (2001) and Heusler (2004) provide a literature-based overview of the different objectives of SCM (Arnold Warzog, 2001 20 Heusler, 2004 17). 

For larger systems, various approximate schemes have been developed, called mixed methods as they treat parts of the system using different levels of theory. Of interest to us here are quantuin-seiniclassical methods, which use full quantum mechanics to treat the electrons, but use approximations based on trajectories in a classical phase space to describe the nuclear motion. The prefix quantum may be dropped, and we will talk of seiniclassical methods. There are a number of different approaches, but here we shall concentrate on the few that are suitable for direct dynamics molecular simulations. An overview of other methods is given in the introduction of [21].

In the overview to this chapter we noted that the experimentally determined end point should coincide with the titration s equivalence point. For an acid-base titration, the equivalence point is characterized by a pH level that is a function of the acid-base strengths and concentrations of the analyte and titrant. The pH at the end point, however, may or may not correspond to the pH at the equivalence point. To understand the relationship between end points and equivalence points we must know how the pH changes during a titration. In this section we will learn how to construct titration curves for several important types of acid-base titrations. Our... 

The study of organic semiconductors and conductors is highly iaterdisciplinary, involving the fields of chemistry, soHd-state physics, engineering, and biology. This article provides a treatment of the theoretical aspects of organic semiconductors as well as an overview of recent advances ia the field and the uses of these materials based on their conductive and optical properties. 

The relevance of photonics technology is best measured by its omnipresence. Semiconductor lasers, for example, are found in compact disk players, CD-ROM drives, and bar code scaimers, as well as in data communication systems such as telephone systems. Compound semiconductor-based LEDs utilized in multicolor displays, automobile indicators, and most recendy in traffic lights represent an even bigger market, with approximately 1 biUion in aimual sales. The trend to faster and smaller systems with lower power requirements and lower loss has led toward the development of optical communication and computing systems and thus rapid technological advancement in photonics systems is expected for the future. In this section, compound semiconductor photonics technology is reviewed with a focus on three primary photonic devices LEDs, laser diodes, and detectors. Overviews of other important compound semiconductor-based photonic devices can be found in References 75—78. 

Current spreadsheet programs contain many advanced capabiUties and enhancements that an engineer might want to use they also offer improved performance, interfaces to data base and word-processing programs and have a host of other features. A good overview that describes the features and presents what is available in each of the latest spreadsheet packages on the market is available (78). 

Overview Reconciliation adjusts the measurements to close constraints subject to their uncertainty. The numerical methods for reconciliation are based on the restriction that the measurements are only subject to random errors. Since all measurements have some unknown bias, this restriction is violated. The resultant adjusted measurements propagate these biases. Since troubleshooting, model development, ana parameter estimation will ultimately be based on these adjusted measurements, the biases will be incorporated into the conclusions, models, and parameter estimates. This potentially leads to errors in operation, control, and design. 

In Section II we provide an overview of the current status of nucleic acid simulations, including studies on small oligonucleotides, DNA, RNA, and their complexes with proteins. This is followed a presentation of computational methods that are currently being applied for the study of nucleic acids. The final section of the chapter includes a number of practical considerations that may be useful in preparing, performing, and analyzing MD simulation based studies of nucleic acids. 

The methodological advances just presented have brought the field of nucleic acid force field calculations to a point where results from the calculations can be used with reasonable confidence to aid in the interpretation of experimental data as well as to be used for scientific investigations that are not accessible to experiment. Accordingly, a number of studies based on MD simulations, as well as other methods, have been undertaken to study a wide array of biologically relevant events associated with DNA. A brief overview of some of these efforts follows.

According to an early historical overview (Jones 1960), the numerous attempts to understand the sintering process in both ceramics and metals fall into three periods (1) speculative, before 1937 (2) simple, 1937-1948 (3) complex, 1948 onwards. The complex experiments and theories began just at the time when metallurgy underwent its broad-based quantitative revolution (see Chapter 5).
