Cellular method

Other methods for detennining the energy band structure include cellular methods. Green fiinction approaches and augmented plane waves [2, 3]. The choice of which method to use is often dictated by die particular system of interest. Details in applying these methods to condensed matter phases can be found elsewhere (see section B3.2). 

Here the last expression was found by taking the arithmetic mean between the two forms, Eq. 11.45 and Eq. 11.74. Formulas of this type have actually been used in the cellular method" for treating crystals, but our own experience from work on atoms is that the orbital energies sk seem to be the quantities in the HF scheme which are most easily influenced by numerical uncertainties and errors. Even if Eqs. 11.74 and 11.75 are practically simpler to handle than Eq. 11.45, they are probably less numerically reliable. Further investigations on this point are desired.

Subsequent cellular methods, on which there is an enormous literature, will not be described here. We shall, however, need to introduce- certain ideas, particularly that of the pseudopotential. We begin by introducing the concept of the muffin-tin potential due to Ziman (1964a). This is illustrated in Fig. 1.9. The tight-binding approximation is appropriate for states with energies below the muffin-tin zero ( bound bands in Ziman s notation). If the energy is above the...

Pyrogenicity, i.e., fever-inducing effects but more generally induction of inflammation, might be considered a special form of immunotoxicity however, it is typically not produced by the test material but by contaminations, mostly bacterial endotoxins. However, a series of cellular methods based on the activation for cytokine release of blood monocytes or derived cells has been validated [63, 67] and accepted for regulatory use. The author has been particularly involved in the development of a whole-blood pyrogen test [61, 62, 97]. The enormous potency of endotoxins... 

The HLA-DP specificities are detected not by serological techniques but by a cellular method known as the primed lymphocyte typing (PLT) test (SIO, Wl). More recently, these specificities have been detected by Southern blotting with appropriate probes and restriction enzymes, and by using monoclonal antibodies in an ELISA (B15). Six HLA-DP specificities are currently recognized (Table 1).
