Cluster analysis was considered in our discussion of conformational analysis (see Section 9.13) for compound selection one would typically want to select a representative molecule or molecules from each cluster. A practical consideration when deciding which cluster analysis method to use is that for large numbers of molecules some algorithms may not be feasible because they require an excessive amount of memory or may have a long execution time. Another consideration with cluster analysis (and with some of the other methods that we will discuss) is the need to calculate the distance between each pair of molecules from the vector of descriptors (or from their scaled derivatives or from a set of principal components, if these are being used). For binary descriptors such as molecular fingerprints this distance is often given by 1 — S, where S is the similarity coefficient (Table 12.3).

The radius of curvature of the surface of the lens is determined by considering the operating frequency and attenuation coefficient. Table 2 shows the range of the radii corresponding to various frequencies. The aperture angle of the lens (denoted as 9a) is determined by the focal distance. When the focal distance and the aperture angle are known the radius of the aperture (r) is determined by the following equation ... 

In principle, simulation teclmiques can be used, and Monte Carlo simulations of the primitive model of electrolyte solutions have appeared since the 1960s. Results for the osmotic coefficients are given for comparison in table A2.4.4 together with results from the MSA, PY and HNC approaches. The primitive model is clearly deficient for values of r. close to the closest distance of approach of the ions. Many years ago, Gurney [H] noted that when two ions are close enough together for their solvation sheaths to overlap, some solvent molecules become freed from ionic attraction and are effectively returned to the bulk [12]. 

The distances specified in Table 10-5 will be conservative if applied to venturi meters. For specific information on requirements for venturi meters, see a discussion by Pardoe appended to Sprenkle (op. cit.). Extensive data on the effect of installation on the coefficients of venturi meters are given elsewhere by Pardoe [Tran.s. Am. Soc. Mech. Eng., 65,337-349(1943)]. 

Sutton Micrometeorology, McGraw-Hill, 1953, p, 286) developed a solution to the above difficulty by defining dispersion coefficients, O, Gy, and O, defined as the standard deviation of the concentrations in the downwind, crosswind, and vertical x, y, z) directions, respectively, The dispersion coefficients are a function of atmospheric conditions and the distance downwind from the release. The atmospheric conditions are classified into six stability classes (A through F) for continuous releases and three stability classes (unstable, neutral, and stable) for instantaneous releases. The stability classes depend on wind speed and the amount of sunlight, as shown in Table 26-28,... 

Where specialized fluctuation data are not available, estimates of horizontal spreading can be approximated from convential wind direction traces. A method suggested by Smith (2) and Singer and Smith (10) uses classificahon of the wind direction trace to determine the turbulence characteristics of the atmosphere, which are then used to infer the dispersion. Five turbulence classes are determined from inspection of the analog record of wind direction over a period of 1 h. These classes are defined in Table 19-1. The atmosphere is classified as A, B2, Bj, C, or D. At Brookhaven National Laboratory, where the system was devised, the most unstable category. A, occurs infrequently enough that insufficient information is available to estimate its dispersion parameters. For the other four classes, the equations, coefficients, and exponents for the dispersion parameters are given in Table 19-2, where the source to receptor distance x is in meters.

Functions 10 through 13 comprise the diffuse s function (note the small value for the exponent a, which will fall off to zero at a much greater distance than the earlier gaussian functions). Functions 14 through 19 are d functions. This basis set uses six-component d functions d 2, dy2, dj2, d, d, d. They are constructed using the exponent and D-COEF coefficient from tne final section of the preceding table. 

Values of the distance of closest approach derived from experimental values of the activity coefficients are given in column 2 of Table 40. It will be seen that for the lithium and sodium salts the value is greater than the crystal-lattice spacing (given in column 4) by rather more than 1 angstrom, as is expected. For the salts of cesium, rubidium, and potassium, on the other hand, the distance of closest approach...

By varying the temperature at which the experiments were conducted and the distance between the activator and the sensor, the data were obtained (Fig. 4.17) which allowed us to calculate the activation energy of migration of hydrogen adatoms (protium and deuterium) along the carrier surface and coefficients of lateral diffusion of hydrogen atoms appearing due to the spillover effect (see Table 4.2). 

If an error of 10% due to the simplification is accepted the maximum distance of the phase front to the heat exchanger surface smax is given in Table 22. For a typical heat transfer coefficient if water is taken as heat transfer fluid, two different cases can be observed. For the pure PCM, the maximum thickness allowed before the simplification leads to serious errors in the result is only 0.5 mm. In that case the simplification is of no practical use. If the...

In a basalt-rhyolite interdiffusion experiment (Alibert and Carron, 1980), potassium concentrations CK were measured in a basalt at a given arbitrary distance y in pm between rhyolitic and basaltic liquids experimentally heated for 5000 seconds (Table 5.5 and Figure 5.4). In order to determine the diffusion coefficients, a fit of the experimental points with a polynomial is requested. Use the reduced concentration u, (the fractional deviation of the concentration at a, from the concentrations in the original liquids) given by... 

A specific example of the relationship between the microscopic subreactions required to model experimental observations of metal removal and the macroscopic proton coefficient is shown for the case of Cd(II) adsorption onto a-A f (Figure 3). One variation of the surface coordination concept is used to describe the system subreactions the Triple Layer Model of Davis et al., (1,20). The specific subreactions which are considered, the formation constants and compact layer capacitances, are shown in Table IV. Protons are assigned to the o-plane (the oxide surface) and Cd(II) surface species and electrolyte ions to the 8-plane located a distance, 8, from the o-plane. 

In the present variation-perturbation calculations the first order corrections were expanded in 600-term ECG basis defined in equations (15) and (16). The components of the polarizability were computed from equation (11) using the optimized The optimization was performed separately for each component and intemuclear distance. The values of aj, (co) are arithmetic sums of the plus and minus components (equation (12)) computed from two separate first-order corrections. For a given component v (either or ), and are expanded in the same basis but, because they are solutions to two different equations (equation (9)) they differ in the linear expansion coefficients. The computed components of the static polarizability an(/ ) and a R) are drawn in Fig. 2 and their numerical values at selected intemuclear distances are listed in Table 1.
