The difference between an MM calculation of the enthalpy of formation and a bond energy scheme comes in the steric energy, which was shown in Eile 4-3. The sum of compression, bending, etc. energies is the steric energy, E = 2.60 kcal mol in Eile 4-3. This is added to BE, as is the partition function energy contribution (see below), PCE = 2.40 kcal moP, to yield... 

The sharp bend of DNA at the TATA box induced by TBP binding is favorable for the formation of the complete DNA control module in particular, for the interaction of specific transcription factors with TFIID. Since these factors may bind to DNA several hundred base pairs away from the TATA box, and at the same time may interact with TBP through one or several TAFs, there must be several protein-DNA interactions within this module that distort the regular B-DNA structure (see Figure 9.2). The DNA bend caused by the binding of TBP to the TATA box is one important step to bring activators near to the site of action of RNA polymerase. 

Kinks or bends in rope due to improper handling during installation or service. Divider interference also, wear against casing or hard shells or abrasive formations in a crooked hole. Too infrequent cutoffs on working end. 

Each time a vane is in the extended position (once per revolution) a severe bending load is being applied between it and the side of its slot. The oil must continue to lubricate between them, to allow the vane to slide freely. It must also resist formation of sticky deposits and varnish, which lead to restricted movement of the vanes and hence to blow-by and, in severe cases, to broken vanes. 

The addition of up to 0-2% of aluminium to the galvanising bath, on the other hand, depresses the formation of alloys and produces lighter and more ductile coatings, which are more suitable for galvanised sheet since they render it more amenable to bending and forming. 

Although the observations for PPV photodiodes of different groups are quite similar, there are still discussions on the nature of the polymer-metal contacts and especially on the formation of space charge layers on the Al interface. According to Nguyen et al. [70, 711 band bending in melal/PPV interfaces is either caused by surface states or by chemical reactions between the polymer and the metal and... 

Which difference could account for the fact that a diver is much less likely to suffer from the bends if he breathes a mixture of 80% helium and 20% oxygen than if he breathes air (The bends is a painful, sometimes fatal, disease caused by the formation of gas bubbles in the veins and consequent interruption of blood flow. The bubbles form from gas dissolved in the blood at high pressure.)... 

According to Hosemann-Bonart s model8), an oriented polymeric material consists of plate-like more or less curved folded lamellae extended mostly in the direction normal to that of the sample orientation so that the chain orientation in these crystalline formations coincides with the stretching direction. These lamellae are connected with each other by some amount of tie chains, but most chains emerge from the crystal bend and return to the same crystal-forming folds. If this model adequately describes the structure of oriented systems, the mechanical properties in the longitudinal direction are expected to be mainly determined by the number and properties of tie chains in the amorphous regions that are the weak spots of the oriented system (as compared to the crystallite)9).
