A first example of application of microtomography is taken from life sciences. Here X-ray microscopy and microtomography allows to reconstruct the internal three-dimensional microstructure without any preparation and sometimes even of living objects. Fig. la shows an X-ray transmission microscopical image of bone (femoral head). Several reconstructed cross-sections are shown in Fig.lb. Fig.lc shows the three-dimensional reconstruction of this bone.

Many of the fiindamental physical and chemical processes at surfaces and interfaces occur on extremely fast time scales. For example, atomic and molecular motions take place on time scales as short as 100 fs, while surface electronic states may have lifetimes as short as 10 fs. With the dramatic recent advances in laser tecluiology, however, such time scales have become increasingly accessible. Surface nonlinear optics provides an attractive approach to capture such events directly in the time domain. Some examples of application of the method include probing the dynamics of melting on the time scale of phonon vibrations [82], photoisomerization of molecules [88], molecular dynamics of adsorbates [89, 90], interfacial solvent dynamics [91], transient band-flattening in semiconductors [92] and laser-induced desorption [93]. A review article discussing such time-resolved studies in metals can be found in... 

In this section, I present a few illustrative examples of applications of NMR relaxation studies within different branches of chemistry. The three subsections cover one story each, in order of increasing molecular size and complexity of the questions asked.

Conformational free energy simulations are being widely used in modeling of complex molecular systems [1]. Recent examples of applications include study of torsions in n-butane [2] and peptide sidechains [3, 4], as well as aggregation of methane [5] and a helix bundle protein in water [6]. Calculating free energy differences between molecular states is valuable because they are observable thermodynamic quantities, related to equilibrium constants and... 

As examples of applications, we present the overall accuracy of predicted ionization constants for about 50 groups in 4 proteins, changes in the average charge of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor at pH 7 along a molecular dynamics trajectory, and finally, we discuss some preliminary results obtained for protein kinases and protein phosphatases. 

Sec. 2 presents the CSP method, while an improved approach built on it (CI-CSP) is described in Sec. 3. Sec. 4 gives some examples of applications of the CSP and CI-CSP methods to the photochemical ultrafast dynamics in clusters. Directions for future progress and improvements are discussed in Sec. 5. 

In the first example of applications of the theory in this chapter, we made a point with respect to the polarizability of molecules and showed how the problem could have been handled by the RISM-SCF/MCSCF theory. However, the current level of our method has a serious limitation in this respect. The method can handle the polarizability of molecules in neat liquids or that of a single molecule in solution in a reasonable manner. But in order to be able to treat the polarizability of both solute and solvent molecules in solution, considerable generalization of the RISM side of the theory is required. When solvent molecules are situated within the influence of solute molecules, the solvent molecules are polarized differently depending on the distance from the solute molecules, and the solvent can no longer be neat. Therefore, the polarizable model developed for neat liquids is not valid. In such a case, solvent-solvent PCF should be treated under the solute... 

A final example of application and process layout is shown in Figure 15. In this example the process relies on activated carbon to remove color bodies from a recycled glucose intermediary prior to use in the production of confectionary. The glucose containing the color taint must be mildly heated (to about 70° C), so that the normally solid product becomes less viscous and easier to pump. The syrup is... 

This wide range of reactions offers possibilities of carrying out substance-specific derivatizations. Some examples of applications are listed in Table 13. 

Numerous examples of application of DAST for replacement of carbonyl oxygen by fluonne have been reported in the field of carbohydrates [193,194,195] and particularly in the field of s/eroidi [141, 142, 183, 196, 197, 198, 199]... 

A wide range of application for small molecules through very high molecular weight polymers on H type columns has been reported since the commercialization in 1972 (34,35). Some examples of applications are summarized in Table 4.19. Table 4.19 contains the type of sample, column, and elution solvent. More applications can be found in technical literatures published by TosoHaas or Tosoh. 

The reactions of enamines as 1,3-dipolarophiles provide the most extensive examples of applications to heterocyclic syntheses. Thus the addition of aryl azides to a large number of cyclic (596-598) and acyclic (599-602) enamines has led to aminotriazolines which could be converted to triazoles with acid. Particular attention has been given to the direction of azide addition (601,603). While the observed products suggest a transition state in which the development of charges gives greater directional control than steric factors, kinetic data and solvent effects (604-606) speak against zwitterionic intermediates and support the usual 1,3-dipolar addition mechanism. 

Final examples of applications of our results (91CPB1905, 99H1157) in 1-hydroxytryptophan chemistry come from the work of Boger and co-workers (99JA6197) on the synthesis of HUN 7293 (293, Scheme 46) (96MI69) and from Kitahara and co-workers (200 IHl) on the synthesis of apicidin (301) (96TL8077). 

Flowever, information concerning the characteristics of these systems under the conditions of a continuous process is still very limited. From a practical point of view, the concept of ionic liquid multiphasic catalysis can be applicable only if the resultant catalytic lifetimes and the elution losses of catalytic components into the organic or extractant layer containing products are within commercially acceptable ranges. To illustrate these points, two examples of applications mn on continuous pilot operation are described (i) biphasic dimerization of olefins catalyzed by nickel complexes in chloroaluminates, and (ii) biphasic alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons with olefins and light olefin alkylation with isobutane, catalyzed by acidic chloroaluminates. 

Mechanical seals, which are typically installed in applications where no leakage can be tolerated, are described and discussed in this section. Toxic chemicals and other hazardous materials are primary examples of applications where mechanical seals are used.

The growing interest in volatile silyl-metal complexes for chemical vapor deposition reactions should also be mentioned. This technique is extremely useful for the preparation of silicide films in microelectronic devices. Further examples of applications of silicon-metal compounds are given in the appropriate sections.

In the thermochromic liquid crystal (TLC) the dominant reflected wavelength is temperature-dependent and it has been employed for full-field mapping of temperature fields for over three decades. Although it is non-intrusive and cost effective, there are some problems in applying it to micro-scale measurements, because of size (typically tens of micrometers) and time response (from a few milliseconds to several hundred milliseconds depending on the material and the form). Examples of application are micro-fabricated systems (Chaudhari et al. 1998 Liu et al. 2002) and electronic components (Azar et al. 1991). 

A typical UF pilot plant has been used in this study. Examples of application for these membranes can be found in the literature [40, 58]. The UF unit woks in deadend mode (2.5 m h ) and it can be operated in filtration, backwash and chemically enhanced backwash (CEB) modes as described in the literature for similar UF systems [40]. The specifications of the hollow fiber UF modules and the operating conditions are summarized in Table 5. 

Apart from the above described core-shell catalysts, it is also possible to coat active phases other than zeolite crystals, like metal nanoparticles, as demonstrated by van der Puil et al. [46]. More examples of applications on the micro level are given in Section 10.5, where microreactors and sensor apphcations are discussed. 

The results of environmental monitoring exercises will be influenced by a variety of variables including the objectives of the study, the sampling regime, the technical methods adopted, the calibre of staff involved, etc. Detailed advice about sampling protocols (e.g. where and when to sample, the volume and number of samples to collect, the use of replicates, controls, statistical interpretation of data, etc.) and of individual analytical techniques are beyond the scope of this book. Some basic considerations include the following, with examples of application for employee exposure and incident investigation. 

Steam distillation is a process whereby organic liquids may be separated at temperatures sufficiently low to prevent their thermal decomposition or whereby azeotropes may be broken. Fats or perfume production are examples of applications of this technique. The vapour-liquid equilibria of the three-phase system is simplified by the usual assumption of complete immiscibility of the liquid phases and the validity of the Raoult and Dalton laws. Systems containing more than one volatile component are characterised by complex dynamics (e.g., boiling point is not constant).

In subsequent printmns files are available via springer.extra.com (see imprint page). 

As an example of application of semiconductor sensors for this purpose, we consider photolysis of simplest olefines (ethylene, propylene, acetylene, etc.) occurring in the range of vacuum ultraviolet. It is well-known (e.g., see [11]) that photolysis of ethylene may result in detachment of either hydrogen molecules (detached in one act) or hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen atoms subsequently associate into molecules or interact with ethylene molecules. In what follows, we consider how this problem can be solved with the help of sensors.
