D Matrices

A way to combine the information on the connectivity and the geometry in a single matrix is to construct elements of a new matrix given as the quotient of the corresponding elements of the graph distance matrix and the molecular geometry matrix, hence the term distance/distance (D/D) matrix. In Table 9 we illustrate D/D matrices for the 

The D/D matrices for strictly linear chains do not bring novelty, since for strictly linear chains the geometrical and the topological distances between any pair of vertices are the same. Consequently, all nondiagonal elements of D/D matrix are equal to 1, as illustrated for a straight chain of five atoms  

The above is in fact the adjacency matrix for the complete graphs K.  

Can we interpret the first eigenvalue of a D/D matrix The first eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix of trees has already been suggested as an index of molecular branching. Recently it was suggested that the first eigenvalue of the resonance 

In order to strengthen the interpretation of(() as an index for the folding of a chain, we will examine the other extreme, the chain superimposed on a graphite lattice in an all-cisoid conformation. We allow superposition of a chain on itself in order to see how (j) changes with increased folding. In a thus folded chain the geometrical distances

In this equation, whereas the same loading matrix (YT matrix) is common for the different individual data matrices Dt, k = 1, 2, 3, 4, four different score matrices Xjt, k = 1, 2, 3, 4 are considered to explain the variation in Daug. Since these four D. matrices have equal sizes (same number of rows or samples and of columns or variables) they can also be arranged in a three-way data cube, with the four data matrices in the different slabs of this cube. However, in the frame of the MCR-ALS method and of the general bilinear model in (10), it is preferable to consider them to be arranged in the column-wise augmented data matrix Daug. 

In cancer research, the multicellular tumor spheroid model is the most widely used. Spheroids are three-dimensional, often heterogeneous organoids containing gradients of cell proliferation, oxygen, and nutrients. Spheroids may be developed in suspension or in 3-D matrices. The former method has been adapted in various ways to include the use of spinner flasks (86), rotating cell... 

Two alternative definitions for the diagonal elements of the D and D matrices have been presented. The first reported in the table is the original one and takes into account the curvature of the tesserae (the inverse of the radius Rt of the sphere to which the tessera belongs). The second formulation is based on electrostatic considerations [28], The numerical factor 1.0694 has been empirically adjusted in order to reproduce the values given by the exact Born equation for spherical ions [18],... 

Unfortunately, the authors of [177, 249] do not consider the question of how Aq transforms on turning the coordinate system. Attempts to obtain matrices which effect such a transformation from D-matrices meet with considerable difficulty. In addition, a number of relations for A, for instance Eq. (17) in [249], are valid only for Q = 0, and not in the general case. Despite the fact that distribution moments are successfully used for the interpretation of experimental results [208, 209], their theory requires further refinement. 

Here is the reason lor the standard order we have chosen. We want to have the tr-function first in view of the application of the D matrices as angular overlap matrices — where the ff-overlap is the most important — and for the same reason we want the following functions to come in order of increasing X. In our first paper concerned with the matrices (20) we chose the order a, jtc, ns, etc. in order to obtain an alphabetical cycle of the /(-functions. Here (see Eqs. (11) and (15)) we have given in on this point in order to obtain the highest possible symmetry of the D(Ry(0)) matrices, and thereby also of the D(R()) matrices which correspond to F a,o, , of (20, p. 406). The order of the/(-functions chosen here, z>, y>, x>, the anti-alphabetical order, is in accordance with the usual choice for the orthorhombic subgroup D%, but not with our choice in (21). 

Eq. (11-22) means that the ensemble-quantum averaged value of R is the trace of the product of the matrices of R and p, where the matrix of p is the linear average of the D matrices ... 

However, a more explicit proof is obtained by rotating the D-matrices and the spherical harmonics appearing in the definition (1 b) of A ( , c, Q) by using Eq. A4, and subsequent application of the following relation ... 

Considering a given region. A, in configuration space we define those x-matrices, that yield diagonal D-matrices in A, as being quantized in that region. The concept of quantization becomes clear when we consider a 2x2 x-matrix which is presented in terms of one non-zero matrix element ... 

Next we briefly discuss the diagonal, 9-dependent, elements of the 3x3 A-matrix as presented in Figs. l(c,f) and the listed 3x3 D-matrix diagonal elements. Both, the A-and the D-matrices become important if and only if the a-values, as calculated for the two-state system, are not multiples of n (or zero). In the case where all relevant a-values of the system are multiples of n (or zero), the j-th A-matrix diagonal element is expected to be close either to cos(7jj+i(9)) or to cos(7j ij(9)), as the case may be, and therefore the diagonal D-matrix elements are expected to be equal to 1. As is noticed, the results due to both matrices confirm the two-state results (and do not yield any additional information). For instance the absolute value of all the D-matrix diagonal elements is, indeed, - 1 moreover, in the first case (Fig. 1(c)), the (1,1) and the (2,2) elements are equal to -1, which implies that we encounter a (1,2) ci, and in the second case, the (2,2) and the (3,3) elements are equal to -1, which implies that a (2,3) ci is encountered (for a detailed analysis on this subject see Ref. 22). 

The parity is given by (—where p can take the values p = 1 or p = 2, thereby yielding positive or negative parity states, depending on the values of J and A. The are Wigner D matrices cUid are functions of the three... 

In Eq. (86) we have used the definitions of Eqs (54) and (60). Similar expanded expressions hold for the C and D matrices. We now wish to compute Tj j ( ) to a particular order in perturbation theory. The order concepts is introduced...
