Drawing complexes

Organic chemists have found a way to draw complex molecular structures in a very simple way, by not showing the C and H atoms explicitly. A line structure represents a chain of carbon atoms by a zigzag line, where each short line indicates a bond and the end of each line represents a carbon atom. Atoms other than C and H are shown by their symbols. Double bonds are represented by a double line and triple bonds by a triple line. Because carbon almost always forms four bonds in organic compounds, there is no need to show the C—FI bonds explicitly. We just fill in the correct number of hydrogen atoms mentally compare the line structure of 2-chlorobutane, QT3C1TC1CF12C]T3 (3a), with its structural form (3b). Line... 

This latter square gave a prediction that was very close to the observed potency, but it would be careless, and probably wrong, to assume that the latter relationships had any more significance than the former ones. As one accumulates the potencies of many compounds it is tempting to draw complex relationships such as these, and to be seduced into believing that they must explain things. And, especially, beware the multivariable power of the computer which can explore monstrous numbers of variables at breakneck speeds, and spew forth fantastic correlations with marvelous ease. 

The four bonds with which carbon attaches to other atoms are equally distributed in a singly bonded carbon atom. Picture, then, that the bond sites of carbon are like the comers of a tetrahedron. Organic molecules, therefore, are three dimensional. Because it is difficult to draw complex, three-dimensional figures, we represent organic molecules by convention with a two-dimensional system of notation. 

In a shorthand method for drawing complex peptide structures, P-strands are shown as thick arrows, an a-helix is a spiral ribbon, and nonrepetitive structures are shown as ropes. These shorthand structures are called ribbon drawings or Richardson diagrams, after Jane S. Richardson (United States 1941-). To illustrate this method, ribonuclease A131 is shown in Figure 27.4, along with the helical ribbon and tube used to represent a helix. The wide arrow used to represent a P-strand in a ribbon structure is also shown. 

It is also able to draw complex mathematical figures, including many fractals. Dynamics Solver is a powerful tool for studying differential equations, (eontinuous and diserete) nonlinear dynamieal systems, deterministic chaos, mechanics, and so forth. For instance, you can draw phase space portraits (including an optional direction field). Poincare maps, Liapunov exponents, histograms, bifurcation diagrams, attraction basis, and so forth. The results can be watehed (in perspective or not) from any direction and particular subspaces ean be analyzed. 

The structural formula shows all of the carbon and hydrogen atoms in the molecnle and how they are bonded together. The condensed structural formula gronps the hydrogen atoms with the carbon atom to which they are bonded. Condensed stractuial foimnlas may show some of the bonds (as the previous examples do) or none at aU. The condensed structural formula for butane can also be written as CH3CH2CH2CH3. The carbon skeleton formula (also called a line formula) shows the carbon-carbon bonds only as lines. Each end or bend of a line represents a carbon atom bonded to as many hydrogen atoms as necessary to form a total of four bonds. Carbon skeleton formnlas allow us to draw complex structures quickly. 

The very appearance of figure lOJ-20 - and of the poster Biochemical Pathways as a whole [20] - clearly points out the deficiencies of a two-dimensional medium, a drawing plane, to represent the complexity, the high interconnectivity of biochemical pathways. 

The point z can also be located by establishing polar coordinates in the complex plane where r is the radius vector and 0 is the phase angle. Draw suitable polar coordinates for the Argand plane. What is r for the point 7 = 3 + 4i7 What is 0 in degrees and radians ... 

Aluminum alloys are commercially available in a wide variety of cast forms and in wrought mill products produced by rolling, extmsion, drawing, or forging. The mill products may be further shaped by a variety of metal working and forming processes and assembled by conventional joining procedures into more complex components and stmctures. 

For each independent variable, form the average value at which it was run in the complex. Draw a line from the coordinates of the worst cake through the average point—called the centroid—and continue on that line a distance that is twice that between these two points. This point will be the next test point. First decide if it is feasible. If so, bake the cake and discover if it leads to a cake that is better than the worst cake from the last set of cakes. If it is not feasible or it is not better, then return half the distance toward the average values from the last... 

Analysts The above is a formidable barrier. Analysts must use limited and uncertain measurements to operate and control the plant and understand the internal process. Multiple interpretations can result from analyzing hmited, sparse, suboptimal data. Both intuitive and complex algorithmic analysis methods add bias. Expert and artificial iutefligence systems may ultimately be developed to recognize and handle all of these hmitations during the model development. However, the current state-of-the-art requires the intervention of skilled analysts to draw accurate conclusions about plant operation. 

Similar treatments can be used for all sorts of two-dimensional problems for calculating the plastic collapse load of structures of complex shape, and for analysing metal-working processes like forging, rolling and sheet drawing. 

This example illustrates the simplified approach to film blowing. Unfortunately in practice the situation is more complex in that the film thickness is influenced by draw-down, relaxation of induced stresses/strains and melt flow phenomena such as die swell. In fact the situation is similar to that described for blow moulding (see below) and the type of analysis outlined in that section could be used to allow for the effects of die swell. However, since the most practical problems in film blowing require iterative type solutions involving melt flow characteristics, volume flow rates, swell ratios, etc the study of these is delayed until Chapter 5 where a more rigorous approach to polymer flow has been adopted. 

Product specifications should specify requirements for the manufacture, assembly, and installation of the product in a manner that provides acceptance criteria for inspection and test. They may be written specifications, engineering drawings, diagrams, inspection and test specifications, and schematics. With complex products you may need a hierarchy of documents from system drawings showing the system installation to component drawings for piece-part manufacture. Where there are several documents that make up the product specification there should be an overall listing that relates documents to one another.
