First-order effects

A 2 factorial design with two factors requires four runs, or sets of experimental conditions, for which the uncoded levels, coded levels, and responses are shown in Table 14.4. The terms Po> Po> Pfc> and Pafc in equation 14.4 account for, respectively, the mean effect (which is the average response), first-order effects due to factors A and B, and the interaction between the two factors. Estimates for these parameters are given by the following equations... 

So far the plate theory has been used to examine first-order effects in chromatography. However, it can also be used in a number of other interesting ways to investigate second-order effects in both the chromatographic system itself and in ancillary apparatus such as the detector. The plate theory will now be used to examine the temperature effects that result from solute distribution between two phases. This theoretical treatment not only provides information on the thermal effects that occur in a column per se, but also gives further examples of the use of the plate theory to examine dynamic distribution systems and the different ways that it can be employed. 

The dispersion of a solute band in a packed column was originally treated comprehensively by Van Deemter et al. [4] who postulated that there were four first-order effect, spreading processes that were responsible for peak dispersion. These the authors designated as multi-path dispersion, longitudinal diffusion, resistance to mass transfer in the mobile phase and resistance to mass transfer in the stationary phase. Van Deemter derived an expression for the variance contribution of each dispersion process to the overall variance per unit length of the column. Consequently, as the individual dispersion processes can be assumed to be random and non-interacting, the total variance per unit length of the column was obtained from a sum of the individual variance contributions.

This is not an SCRF model, as the dipole moment and stabilization are not calculated in a self-consistent way. When the back-polarization of the medium is taken into account, the dipole moment changes, depending on how polarizable the molecule is. Taking only the first-order effect into account, the stabilization becomes (a is the molecular polarizability, the first-order change in the dipole moment with respect to an electric field, Section 10.1.1). 

Honk et al. concluded that this FMO model imply increased asynchronicity in the bond-making processes, and if first-order effects (electrostatic interactions) were also considered, a two-step mechanisms, with cationic intermediates become possible in some cases. It was stated that the model proposed here shows that the phenomena generally observed on catalysis can be explained by the concerted mechanism, and allows predictions of the effect of Lewis acid on the rates, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity of all concerted cycloadditions, including those of ketenes, 1,3-dipoles, and Diels-Alder reactions with inverse electron-demand [2],... 

For comparison with the usual second-order perturbation in the spin-orbit coupling, we assume that the first order calculation has taken all first-order effects into account as in Eq.(l 1). The second-order perturbation due to the interaction operator W is given by... 

The first-order effect of this correction, the form of which is shown in Fig. 6, translates into a discrepancy between the exact and JWKB eigenvalues of the form... 

Derivatives of anthracene bearing substituents on the 1 or 2 position can be photodimerized with efficiencies comparable to that for the unsubstituted molecule. However, with substituents at the 9 meso) or 9, 10 dimeso) positions a very interesting photochemical problem results. Since dimerization occurs across the 9, 10 positions, substituents at these positions exert a first-order effect on the photochemical reaction. The mero-substituted anthracenes examined include the following as 19>... 

J.R. Bolton If the electron reaches the quinone via the linkage, then the transfer must involve the molecular orbitals of the linking structure and thus the solvent will have only a secondary effect. If the electron transfer occurs through the solvent, then the solvent should have a first-order effect on the rate. 

Upon using a re-pulse centered in the middle of each rotor period t, and lasting one-third of a rotor period, the first-order effective Hamiltonian is... 

Upon entering the interaction frame of the rf irradiation for the CNvn or RN n sequences [cf. (14)] and taking the first-order effective Hamiltonians [cf. (17a) and (18a)], it is possible to establish the following selection rules for the averaging (and conversely recoupling) of the various interactions described in (45) as...

If j Rf is exactly the magic angle and infinite spinning speed is assumed, the first-order anisotropic terms are zero for both single and DQ coherence (33). This does not hold true for finite spinning speed, but a complete averaging of the first-order effect occurs at the exact rotor cycles. Therefore, the x evolution time has to match exactly a multiple of the rotor period. The second-order anisotropy refocusing occurs for... 

In Chapter 1 it was pointed out that the Maxwell fluid is a very simple model of the first order effects observed with viscoelastic liquids. The equation of a Maxwell fluid is... 

Focusing our attention for a moment on the term (P, + P,ac,)jc, it can be seen that over a small region of factor space, the first-order effect of the factor Xy is given by the slope , pj + PnJCi,- But this slope depends on the region of factor space one is observing Another way of stating this is that the effect of the factor depends on the level of the factor. 

The concept of self interaction was introduced in Section 8.6 where it was shown that for a single-factor, second-order model, the (first-order) effect of the factor depends on the level of the factor . It was shown that the model...

Taguchi uses fractional factorial designs to determine the first-order effects of both the control factors and the noise factors, but he separates the factors and the designs into an inner array (involving the control factors only) and an outer array (involving the noise factors only). The concept is shown geometrically in Figure 14.8 for three control factors and three noise factors. 

This model is close to the SDR. However, the SDR only deals with static spins, so that relaxation, more specifically the first-order effect we investigate, is automatically canceled by the refocusing pulses. On the contrary, our model accounts for irreversible dynamics the randomness of the jumps from... 

From Formulas (19) and (20) it is clear that a first order effect is independent of the applied field Ih, while the second order splitting decreases as Ht increases. In this way the two effects may be experimentally distinguished.
