Comprehensive extension

Comprehensive extensions of structure prediction in the most recent years are devoted to the low-dimensional systems, which include nanoparticles, two dimensional (2D) erystals, and surface reconstructions. For consistency with most widely used electronic structure codes, we treat... 

Critical to the successtlil completion of this process are the software tools required to store and analyse the inspection and related data. This is a major task and to achieve this OIS has produced, in conjunction with a major specialist technical software provider, the Asset Condition Evaluation Tool (Acet). Acet is a comprehensive suite of programs which draws on the extensive experience of engineers working in this field for many years, to provide a readily usable and highly auditable package for this application. 

The approach is ideally suited to the study of IVR on fast timescales, which is the most important primary process in imimolecular reactions. The application of high-resolution rovibrational overtone spectroscopy to this problem has been extensively demonstrated. Effective Hamiltonian analyses alone are insufficient, as has been demonstrated by explicit quantum dynamical models based on ab initio theory [95]. The fast IVR characteristic of the CH cliromophore in various molecular environments is probably the most comprehensively studied example of the kind [96] (see chapter A3.13). The importance of this question to chemical kinetics can perhaps best be illustrated with the following examples. The atom recombination reaction... 

The Langevin model has been employed extensively in the literature for various numerical and physical reasons. For example, the Langevin framework has been used to eliminate explicit representation of water molecules [22], treat droplet surface effects [23, 24], represent hydration shell models in large systems [25, 26, 27], or enhance sampling [28, 29, 30]. See Pastor s comprehensive review [22]. 

Most database users do not know how the data are organized in a database system (DBS) they depend solely on the application programs. This is sufficient for most database searches where users can receive large amounts of results quickly and easily, e.g., on literature or other information. Nevertheless, a basic knowledge on where and how to find deeper or more detailed information is quite useful. Due to their complex nature, comprehensive searches (e.g., for processes or patents) are not recommended for beginners. However, most local (in-house), online, and CD-ROM databases provide extensive tutorials and help functions that are specific to the database, and that give a substantial introduction into database searching. 

There are several excellent publications in the literature which compare force fields, their apphcation areas, and their pros and cons [1-5]. Available force field parameters are published in a comprehensive and very extensive form, e.g., within the R views in Computational Chemistry series [6, 7j. 

As mentioned in Chapter 14, it was my usual practice during my career that whenever I felt that I had substantially achieved my goals and interest in a specific field of my research, I wrote (or edited) a book or comprehensive monograph of the field. The interested reader may want to consult these for further details. They also contain extensive references to my 1200 original papers as well as to reviews and chapters. If not otherwise indicated, my books were all published by my longtime publisher, John Wiley Sons, Inc., in New York. 

Experimental Mass Transfer Coefficients. Hundreds of papers have been pubHshed reporting mass transfer coefficients in packed columns. For some simple systems which have been studied quite extensively, mass transfer data may be obtained directiy from the Hterature (6). The situation with respect to the prediction of mass transfer coefficients for new systems is stiU poor. Despite the wealth of experimental and theoretical studies, no comprehensive theory has been developed, and most generalizations are based on empirical or semiempitical equations. 

Several studies on FWAs have concluded that diarninostilbenedisulfonic acid/cyanuric chloride (DAS/CC) and distyrylbiphenyl (DSBP) type whiteners are of a low order of toxicity. Thek safety has been extensively reviewed by governmental agencies there is no evidence of human health ha2ards. FWA producers and users consider these products to be both safe and beneficial to the ultimate consumer. This view is supported by appropriate trade associations. A comprehensive review of available safety and environmental data has been pubflshed (82). In addition, principal suppHers are conducting life cycle analyses on the primary whiteners in use (ca 1993). 

DMF is used extensively as a solvent, reagent, and catalyst in synthetic organic chemistry. Several comprehensive reviews describe its uses in this area (30—32). 

The acute and chronic toxicity of hydraziae, the methyUiydraziaes, phenylhydraziae, and other hydraziae derivatives has received extensive study, and is comprehensively covered ia several reviews (159—163). 

Comprehensive reviews of additive practices are available in the Hterature (18,21—23) and in extensive patent coverage. The common types of additives are discussed in approximate order of the frequency of their use. 

Naphthenic acids have been the topic of numerous studies extending over many years. Originally recovered from the petroleum distillates to minimise corrosion of refinery equipment, they have found wide use as articles of commerce in metal naphthenates and other derivatives. A comprehensive overview of the uses of naphthenic acid and its derivatives can be found in References 1 and 2. A review of the extensive research on carboxyUc acids in petroleum conducted up to 1955 is available (3), as is a more recent review of purification, identification, and uses of naphthenic acid (4). 

A comprehensive study of the tolerance of laboratory animals to vapors of 2-nitropropane was reported in 1952 (100). In a study pubHshed in 1979, rabbits and rats survived exposure to nitromethane for six months at 750 and 100 ppm, respectively, with no unexpected findings (101). Similarly, no compound-related effects were found for rabbits exposed to 2-nitropropane at 200 ppm or for rabbits or rats exposed at 27 ppm. Liver damage was extensive in male rats exposed at 207 ppm for six months, and hepatocellular carcinomas were observed. Subsequendy, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (lARC) found that there is "sufficient evidence" to conclude that 2-nitropropane causes cancer in rats but that epidemiologic data are inadequate to reinforce the conclusion in humans (102). The National Toxicology Program also concluded that it "may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen" (103). 

Butadiene is primarily shipped in pressurized containers via railroads or tankers. U.S. shipments of butadiene, which is classified as a flammable compressed gas, are regulated by the Department of Transportation (254). Most other countries have adopted their own regulations (30). Other information on the handling of butadiene is also available (255). As a result of the extensive emphasis on proper and timely responses to chemical spills, a comprehensive handbook from the National Fire Protection Association is available (256). 

NMR data for 4-methyloxazole have been compared with those of 4-methylthiazole the data clearly show that the ring protons in each are shielded. In a comprehensive study of a range of oxazoles. Brown and Ghosh also reported NMR data but based a discussion of resonance stabilization on pK and UV spectral data (69JCS(B)270). The weak basicity of oxazole (pX a 0.8) relative to 1-methylimidazole (pK 7.44) and thiazole (pK 2.44) demonstrates that delocalization of the oxygen lone pair, which would have a base-strengthening effect on the nitrogen atom, is not extensive. It must be concluded that not only the experimental measurement but also the very definition of aromaticity in the azole series is as yet poorly quantified. Nevertheless, its importance in the interpretation of reactivity is enormous. 

Within the constraints of this article it is impossible to be comprehensive in the coverage of the subject matter, in terms of the chemicals involved and in the widely varying practices and areas of the world in which the title compounds are ingested by farmed animals. This account is, however, intended to give an overview, citing some relevant examples, of the beneficial and adverse effects, in animals and on the environment, of man-made compounds and naturally produced compounds in extensive and commercial production systems.

Use of DMF as a solvent for the oxidation of l-o1efins has been reported by Clement and Selwitz. The method requires only a catalytic amount of PdCl2 and gives satisfactory yields under mild conditions. A small amount of olefin migration product is the only noticeable contaminant in the cases reported. The procedure can be applied satisfactorily to various 1-olefins with other functional groups. This useful synthetic method for the preparation of methyl ketones has been applied extensively in the syntheses of natural products such as steroids,macrolides, dihydrojasmone, and muscone. " A comprehensive review article on the palladium-catalyzed oxidation of olefins has... 

There are extensive publications on many individual problems together with practical instmctions. However, it was difficult for the technologist in Germany to master the subject because no comprehensive up-to-date publication was available in German. The Subcommittee for Corrosion of DVGW instigated the publication of a handbook of cathodic protection, and a number of members offered their cooperation as authors of individual chapters. 

A valuable source of up-to-date reviews of many aspects of MSE is a series of books. Annual Reviews of Materials Science, published for the last 30 years. There has been one extensive series of high-level multiauthor treatments right across the entire spectrum of MSE, in the form of 25 books collectively entitled Materials Science and Technology A Comprehensive Treatment (1991-2000), masterminded by Peter Haasen, Edward Kramer and myself. There have also been three encyclopedias, the Encyclopedia of Materials Science and Engineering (1986), the Encyclopedia of Advanced Materials (1994) and the Encyclopedia of Materials (2001), which last has appeared in both printed and on-line versions and will receive annual updates.
