Exploring the Analogy

Of course, you can also pluck the string very cleverly so that the first coefficient in the Fourier expansion (bn) is zero, or nearly so. 

If you do this, you can arrange for the lowest eigenvalue to be absent (or nearly absent) from the Fourier expansion of the solution. Then you will 

Your eye is not built to separate the frequencies in the same way your ear is. You can test this first hand by mixing paint. If you mix two pure hues together (such as red and green), what you perceive is not red plus green, what you perceive is brown or gray. This is quite different from your perception of sound. If you play two different notes simultaneously, your ear separates them and you hear a chord, the musical equivalent of red plus green. Your eye, on the other hand, will not identify separately all the 

There is another aspect of the wave equation to which we had best pay close attention as well, and that is symmetry. There is a symmetry to the set of equations  

The partial differential operators are linear operators. That means they are invariant with respect to changes of variables of the form y = x + c. So you could replace x by 1 — x. This does not change the first of the two equations at all, and it flips the role of 0 and 1 in the second, leaving it invariant also. That is, a symmetric flip of the a -axis around x — 1/2 leaves the equations invariant. Now, notice that all of the solutions to the eigenvalue problem in x are also related by the same symmetry. For example

Buchachenko et al. [130] explored the analogy between the photoreactions of uranyl and carbonyl compounds, both groups being capable of inducing a hydrogen abstraction from a donor DH by a two-step pathway (cf. Section V.B),... 

The goal of this chapter is to explore the analogy between macromo-lecular complex formation of the labeled probe chain and a polymeric proton donor, such as poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) or poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA), and the adsorption of the probe chain on colloidal particles such as silica or polystyrene. The basis for a possible analogy between these two situations arises from the nature of the local interactions. Macromolecular complex formation arises from specific interactions such as hydrogen bonding likewise, we expect that similar specific interactions exist between the PEG and the silica or polystyrene substrate. In essence, we consider the macromolecular complex to represent an interaction with a molecular substrate, whereas the colloidal problem involves a solid substrate. 

In section II, we labelled the present model as a mean-field model. We now explore the analogy to other mean-field models further. Squaring both sides of Eq. (27) and rearranging terms we obtain... 

Substitution at C(5) of the penicillanic ring system has been relatively little explored. The 5a-phenyl analog has been prepared by total synthesis as shown in Scheme 26 75JMC486). It was interesting that epimerization (step iv) occurs without side chain silylation (cf. Section 5.11.3.8.4). 

We assume that exploring all possible forms for the fields corresponds to exploring the overall usual phase space. To determine the partition function Z the contributions from all the p+ r) and P- r) distributions are summed up with a statistical weight, dependent on p+ r) and p (r), put in the form analogous to the Boltzmann factor exp[—p (F)]], where the effective Hamiltonian p (F)] is a functional of the fields. The... 

The vinylsilanes (e.g. 40, 41) do not readily homopolymerize. Forsyth et al.Mj explored the mechanism of grafting these monomers using dodecane as a model for PE. Their work suggests that multiple monomer units are attached through a sequence of addition and intramolecular hydrogen atom transfer steps by a mechanism analogous to that shown in Scheme 7.33 on page 394. 

The first purposeful use of ATRA in polymer synthesis was in the production of telomers.26j In this early work, comparatively poor control over the polymerization was achieved and little attempt was made to explore the wider utility of the process. Some analogies may also be drawn with the work of Bamford et al, and others on transition metal/organic halide redox initiation (Sections 3.3,5.1 and 7.6.2).2M... 

The chemist should explore the fields of chemicals with structures related to compounds known to be effective. He should also study new classes of structures. Safety appears to lie in numbers. The failure of several members of a new class of compounds does not prove that there are no effective members in the group. Only certain of the analogs of DDT are good insecticides. Even DDT is not effective on some species of insects. Only the gamma isomer of benzene hexachloride is highly effective. 

This issue focuses on the themes of certainty and doubt, fragility and tenacious identity, in the psychotherapeutic process. Newman s paper explores some central tensions in the relation between consciousness and unconsciousness. Rowan offers a masterly account of what he plausibly claims are established salient features of the psychotherapeutic process, in terms of the analogy of alchemy. Balick s account of the 7th UKCP Professional Conference evokes the tensions activated by the interface between neuro-science and psychotherapy. And Tan and Zhong face us with the challenge of a communally and certainty based method, in relation to some antisocial sexual patterns, which appears to be more effective than more cautious established Western approaches... 

The analogous decomposition process was observed for related germylide-nephosphanes.32 Although the thermolysis of 12a was carried out in deuterated solvents, no deuterium incorporation was observed. Further work is needed in order to explore the reaction mechanism. In contrast to 12a, the thermolysis behavior of phosphasilenes 15 is quite different. 

We have recently extended our interest to the analogous halfsandwich osmium-arene complexes and are exploring the chemical and biological properties of [Os(r 6-arene)(XY)Z]ra 1 complexes (Fig. 25) (105). Both the aqueous chemistry and the biological activity of osmium complexes have been little studied. Third-row transition metals are usually considered to be more inert than those of the first and second rows. Similar to the five orders of magnitude decrease in substitution rates of Pt(II) complexes compared to Pd(II), the [Os(ri6-arene)(L)X]"+ complexes were expected to display rather different kinetics than their Ru(II)-arene analogs. A few other reports on the anticancer activity of osmium-arene complexes have also appeared recently (106-108).
