Center approximation

The treatment of acute PCP toxicity depends on the pattern of intoxication and the physical findings. On the prison wards of the LAC/USC Medical Center, approximately 60 percent of patients are treated and released within 24 hours. Most of these patients have minor patterns of intoxication and no medical complications. Another 10 percent of patients have minor problems with medical complications, usually trauma. 

The structure of iodine at four different pressures. The outlined face-centered unit cell in the 30-Gpa figure corresponds to that of a (distorted) cubic closest-packing of spheres. At 24.6 GPa four unit cells of the face-centered approximant structure are shown the structure is incommensurately modulated, the atomic positions follow a sine wave with a wave length of 3.89 x c. The amplitude of the wave is exaggerated by a factor of two. Lower left Dependence of the twelve interatomic contact distances on pressure... 

The upper left panel shows a surface of normalized uncertainty (defined in Equation 13.7 above) as a function of factors x and x. The normalized uncertainty is relatively small in the center (approximately 1.1) and relatively large at the comers (approximately 4.0). Note that this surface generally reflects the underlying design the uncertainty surface is relatively low in those regions where experiments have been carried out and is relatively high in those regions where experiments have not been carried out. 

For a given olivine crystal with radius a, treat it as a plane sheet along the c-axis with half-thickness a. Assume that the initial zonation is symmetric with respect to the center. Approximate the initial profile as C = Cq + CiCOs(7ix/a), where Q is the amplitude of the variation. Assume no flux boundary condition. The solution to the diffusion problem can be found by separation of variables as... 

This contribution to the shift is quite difficult to evaluate, because in general the spin density distribution all over the space is not known. The approach to this problem should be stepwise. We first consider that the unpaired electron is localized on the metal nucleus in a paramagnetic metal complex. We refer to this as to the metal-centered point-dipole approximation. Surely this contribution will always be present and often dominant. Then we will discuss the consequences of relaxing this condition. Even in the metal-centered approximation several cases should be discussed. 

The one-center approximation allows for an extremely rapid evaluation of spin-orbit mean-field integrals if the atomic symmetry is fully exploited.64 Even more efficiency may be gained, if also the spin-independent core-valence interactions are replaced by atom-centered effective core potentials (ECPs). In this case, the inner shells do not even emerge in the molecular orbital optimization step, and the size of the atomic orbital basis set can be kept small. A prerequisite for the use of the all-electron atomic mean-field Hamiltonian in ECP calculations is to find a prescription for setting up a correspondence between the valence orbitals of the all-electron and ECP treatments.65-67... 

The influence of the anticyclones separating from the coast on the structure of the RC was also well traced in October-November 1993, when the offshore location of a deep-sea anticyclone centered approximately at 44°N, 36.8°E resulted in a departure of the RC from the coast and formation of a large meander [8,23], and in September 1997 (Fig. 5). Due to the movement of the anticyclonic eddies separated from the coast on the one hand and to the position of the RC changing with respect to the current location of the eddies and the wind direction on the other hand, situations are possible when the same deep-sea anticyclone finds itself now on the right-hand side of the RC mainstream or its branches and now on their left-hand side. In addition, the movement of the anticyclones from the eastern basin to the western... 

The nitrogen atoms occupy the tetrahedral positions expected on this basis. An alternative location of lithium over the center (approximately) of the phenyl ring would also have favorable orbital interactions, and actually is found to be more stable by MNDO calculations when no solvent is present (51). Stucky s rationalization has been challenged by Bushby (38b). 

For theoretical calculations of molecular x-ray emission rates, it is usual to neglect the contributions from interatomic transitions, sometimes called crossover transitions, and to use the single-center approximation [6]. This approximation is useful and can often reproduces the experimental spectra quite well. Using a simple molecular orbital (MO) approach, Urch [7,8] showed the validity of the single-center approximation for metal K x-ray emission rates in MX4 and MXg molecules. On the other hand, Adachi and Taniguchi... 

Most of old theoretical calculations for molecular x-ray emission rates have been performed in the single-center approximation and the contributions from the interatomic transitions have been neglected. On the other hand, Taniguchi and Adachi [9] and Larkins [10,11] pointed out that in some cases the contributions from the interatomic transitions are appreciable. In the present work, the... 

The increase in the x-ray emission rates is significant for C A x rays. In this case, the single-center approximation is inadequate to predict the C A -x-ray emission process in CO. On the other hand, the interatomic transitions play less important role for O A -x-ray emission.

In the case of the N2 graphitic slit pore system, w is equal to H - 0.24 nm. Fig. 1 shows potential profiles of a N2 molecule in a slitlike graphite pore as a function of w using the one-center approximation. Here, the molecular position in Fig. 1 is expressed by a distance z from the central plane between two surfaces.

The SOMF operator was successfully employed in various calculations as implemented in the ORCA [103], MOLPRO [104], and AMFI [105] integral programs. Several additional approximations can be optionally employed in the ORCA program such as a one-center approximation and utilization of atomic densities (in line with the AMFI code) as well as utilization of the RI approximation for the Coulomb-like (second) term of (45) [103]... 

We, therefore, usually make the so-called two-center approximation for i / j ... 

Plate 9. Interannual variability in the Antarctic ozone hole. The figures compare the ozone column abundance observed on September 24 in 2001 and in 2002. In 2001 as in most previous years of the last 2 decades, the hole was centered approximately over the South Pole with low ozone values over the Antarctic continent. In 2002, a strong wave-2 planetary wave disturbed the polar vortex and produced a very peculiar distribution of the ozone column. The warming associated with this event led to limited ozone depletion and a disappearance of the ozone hole at the end of September. From NASA.
