CO = coq, has a discontinuity in tire first derivative. In figure A1.3.18 the characteristic structure of the joint density of states is presented for each type of critical point. 

Adsorbents Table 16-3 classifies common adsorbents by structure type and water adsorption characteristics. Structured adsorbents take advantage of their crystalline structure (zeolites and sllicalite) and/or their molecular sieving properties. The hydrophobic (nonpolar surface) or hydrophihc (polar surface) character may vary depending on the competing adsorbate. A large number of zeolites have been identified, and these include both synthetic and naturally occurring (e.g., mordenite and chabazite) varieties. 

For classical evolutions, we merely substitute crj for p. Looking at plots of N fi, p vs. v/N, it is clear that although the quantum dynamics generally appears to preserve the characteristic structure of the classical spectrum, particular structural details tend to be washed-away [ilachSSbj. If high or low frequency components are heavily favored in the classical evolution, for example, they will similarly be favored in the quantum model discrete peaks, however, will usually disappear. White-noise spectra, of course, will remain so in the quantum model. 

Molecules are the characteristic structural units of gases, most liquids, and many solids. As a class, molecular substances tend to have the fallowing characteristics. 

A very similar behavior has been found by Goren et al.126) in their investigation of the polymer (Lys-Ala-Glu)n. The higher the water content in mixtures with methanol and the more the pH shifts up or down relative to the neutral state, the charge increases and the CD signals assume more the form of the characteristic -structure, thus losing the form of an a-helix. 

The resonating-valence-bond theory of metals discussed in this paper differs from the older theory in making use of all nine stable outer orbitals of the transition metals, for occupancy by unshared electrons and for use in bond formation the number of valency electrons is consequently considered to be much larger for these metals than has been hitherto accepted. The metallic orbital, an extra orbital necessary for unsynchronized resonance of valence bonds, is considered to be the characteristic structural feature of a metal. It has been found possible to develop a system of metallic radii that permits a detailed discussion to be given of the observed interatomic distances of a metal in terms of its electronic structure. Some peculiar metallic structures can be understood by use of the postulate that the most simple fractional bond orders correspond to the most stable modes of resonance of bonds. The existence of Brillouin zones is compatible with the resonating-valence-bond theory, and the new metallic valencies for metals and alloys with filled-zone properties can be correlated with the electron numbers for important Brillouin polyhedra. 

A characteristic structural feature of the renal Na,K-pump protein is a cytoplasmic protrusion with approximate dimensions 45 x 65 A in the plane of the membrane and a length of 50-60 A in the plane perpendicular to the membrane. The bulk of the protrusion is formed by the large central domain (residues 340-780 in a subunit)...

Successful analytical methodologies not only must distinguish the number of mixture components but should also provide characteristic structural information about each additive. For identification purposes various public or proprietary databases for low-MW additives can be used. 

As every solvent has its characteristic structure, its molecules are bonded more or less strongly to the ions in the course of solvation. Again, solvation has a marked effect on the structure of the surrounding solvent. The number of molecules bound in this way to a single ion is termed the solvation (hydration) number of this ion.

Also deoxycholic acid (6) crystallizes in an inclusion lattice with channel-shaped cavities 13). Figure 3 shows that they are formed by facing molecules of deoxycholic acid, 4). This characteristic structural unit is a double layer of head-to-tail linked deoxycholic acid molecules at which specific H-bridges between hydroxy and carboxy groups are the decisive fact. The channels as such (e.g. in case of the orthorhombic crystal, see Fig. 3) are lined with lipophilic groups. Thus only van der Waals contacts are kept between the included guest molecules (also for polar molecules like acetone, Fig. 3) and the molecules of the channel wall. 

Compounds consisting of only carbon and hydrogen have the simplest compositions of all organic compounds. These compounds are called hydrocarbons. It is possible to classify the hydrocarbons into four series, based on the characteristic structures of the molecules in each series. These series are known as (1) the alkane series, (2) the alkene series, (3) the alkyne series, and (4) the aromatic series. There are many subdivisions of each series, and it is also possible to have molecules that could be classified as belonging to more than one series. 

In all cases, the characteristic structure of the virus is determined by the structure of the protein subunits of which it is constructed. Self-assembly leads to the final virus particle. 

The formation of characteristic structural aggregates vertic structure ) is an additional soil forming process in Vertisols. This typical structure may occur in most of the solum but has its strongest expression in the vertic horizon the grade of development and the sizes of peds change only gradually with depth. 

Dioxygenases often have broad substrate specificity and require only a minimal characteristic structure for substrate recognition [310], Transition metal or an organic cofactor mediates dioxygen activation needed by the oxygenases action. Iron and copper, in their lower oxidation states are the metals most commonly used, but also organic co-factors like dihydroflavin and tetrahydropterin are able to activate the oxygen molecule.
