Behaviour reversal

The behaviour reverses when the bond is stretched. At R = 3Re the good performance of CCSD deteriorates due to the increasing importance of and T4 amplitudes... [Pg.80]

A frequent prescription in self-help guides is what might be called behaviour reversal . In fact in one particularly pragmatic guide, examples from which are presented in Box 10.6, over a third of the recommendations are of this nature. Many further examples of suggestions for behaviour reversal could have been cited, but there are probably enough in Box 10.6 to convey the point. [Pg.284]

This kind of advice may seem elementary, banal even. But once you have grasped the basic principle, you can invent a behaviour reversal to suit virtu ly any development need and get on with doing it. Refraining from certain behaviours. [Pg.285]

The difficulties encountered in LLC can be overcome by the use of chemically bonded stationary phases or bonded-phases. Most bonded phases consist of organochlorosilanes or organoalkoxysilanes reacted with micro-particulate silica gel to form a stable siloxane bond. The conditions can be controlled to yield monomeric phases or polymeric phases. The former provides better efficiency because of rapid mass transfer of solute, whereas the polymeric phases provides higher sample capacity. BPC can be used in solvent gradient mode since the stationary phase is bonded and will not strip. Both normal-phase BPC (polar stationary, non-polar mobile) and reversed-phase BPC (non-polar stationary, polar mobile) can be performed. The latter is ideal for substances which are insoluble or sparingly soluble in water, but soluble in alcohols. Since many compounds exhibit this behaviour, reversed phase BPC accounts for about 60% of published applications. The main disadvantage of silica bonded phases is that the pH must be kept between 2 to 7.5. However, bonded phases with polymer bases (polystyrene-divinylbenzene) can be used in the pH range of 0 to 14. [Pg.22]

Thin films of fullerenes, which were deposited on an electrode surface via, for example, drop coating, were largely heterogeneous, due to the entrapping of solvent molecules into their domains. Consequently, their electrochemical behaviour displayed different degrees of reversibility and stability depending on the time of electrolysis and the... [Pg.2418]

Both the cone-shaped and the wedge-like pore give rise to simple, hysteresis-free behaviour. The meniscus is nucleated at the apex of the cone (Fig. 3.14(a)) or at the intersection of the two planes of the wedge (Fig. 3.14(b)), giving a spherical meniscus in the first case and a cylindrical one in the second. In both systems the process of evaporation is the exact reverse of that of condensation, and hysteresis is therefore absent. [Pg.129]

The understanding of retention and selectivity behaviour in reversed-phase HPLC in order to control and predict chromatographic properties ai e interesting for both academic scientists and manufacturers. A number of retention and selectivity models are the subject of ongoing debate. The theoretical understanding of retention and selectivity, however, still lags behind the practical application of RP HPLC. In fact, many users of RP HPLC techniques very often select stationary phases and other experimental conditions by experience and intuition rather than by objective criteria. [Pg.131]

Female sexual development and behaviour in mammals occurs by default and requires no ovarian secretion, and it is only in genetic males that the testis can secrete hormones which destroy this female pattern and superimpose that of the male. Sexual differentiation is not so well defined in fish, and larval exposure to both synthetic estrogens and androgens is widely used in aquaculture to produce monosex cultures. Endocrine disruption of sexual differentiation in fish may therefore reflect both the complexity and diversity of such processes between different species. Some care is required in use of the terms hermaphrodite and sex-reversal since a true hermaphrodite has both functional testes and ovaries and a sex-reversed fish is fully functional as its final sex—both produce the appropriate viable gametes. Such functional sex-reversal is not possible in mammals, but in some species of fish it is the normal developmental pattern. In most of the cases of hermaphroditism or sex-reversal reported in the non-scientific press, there is evidence only for a few ovarian follicles within a functional testis. This may be considered as feminisation or a form of intersex, and is very clearly endocrine disruption, but it is certainly neither sex-reversal nor hermaphroditism. In some cases the terms have even been used to infer induction of a single female characteristic such as production of yolk-protein by males. [Pg.41]

For a linear viscoelastic material in which the strain recovery may be regarded as the reversal of creep then the material behaviour may be represented by Fig. 2.49. Thus the time-dependent residual strain, Sr(t), may be expressed as... [Pg.104]

R3-R2 (6) which exists in chloroform solution but which crystallizes on evaporation or cooling to give the ionic salt R3+R2 (7). This reversible ionic-covalent equilibrium is reminiscent of similar behaviour in certain halides such as AICI3 (p. 234), PCI5 (p. 499) and TeCU (p. 772), etc. [Pg.303]

The electrode potential behaviour of copper in various solutions has been investigated and discussed in considerable detail by Catty and Spooner . According to these workers a large part of the surface of copper electrodes in aerated aqueous solutions is normally covered with a film of cuprous oxide and the electrode potential is usually close to the potential of these film-covered areas. The filmed metal simulates a reversible oxygen electrode at... [Pg.686]

Turning now to the acidic situation, a report on the electrochemical behaviour of platinum exposed to 0-1m sodium bicarbonate containing oxygen up to 3970 kPa and at temperatures of 162 and 238°C is available. Anodic and cathodic polarisation curves and Tafel slopes are presented whilst limiting current densities, exchange current densities and reversible electrode potentials are tabulated. In weak acid and neutral solutions containing chloride ions, the passivity of platinum is always associated with the presence of adsorbed oxygen or oxide layer on the surface In concentrated hydrochloric acid solutions, the possible retardation of dissolution is more likely because of an adsorbed layer of atomic chlorine ... [Pg.945]

The shortcomings of such a code are mainly attributable to the limited number of environments considered because specific behaviour is generally related to specific metal/electrolyte behaviour which can result in substantial potential changes or even polarity reversals. A polarity reversal implies a large potential at one or both metal electrodes and may be attributed to two main factors ... [Pg.461]

The discussion so far has been limited to the behaviour of polymer films after immersion in potassium chloride solutions for only a short time. When varnish films were immersed in potassium chloride solutions for a month or more a steady fall in resistance took place. Further experiments indicated that the effect was reversible and dependent on both the pH of the solution and the concentration of potassium chloride. It was concluded that an ion exchange process was operative . [Pg.601]

Sodium octanoate (NaO) forms reversed micelles not only in hydrocarbons but also in 1-hexanol/water. The hydration of the ionogenic NaO headgroups plays an important role in this case too. For this reason Fujii et al. 64) studied the dynamic behaviour of these headgroups and the influence of hydration-water with l3C and 23Na NMR measurements. Below w0 = [H20]/[NaO] 6 the 23Na line-width... [Pg.8]
