Fowler’s method

The anatomical dead space can be measured by Fowler s method. 

Hiickel s application of this approach to the aromatic compounds gave new confidence to those physicists and chemists following up on the Hund-Mulliken analysis. It was regarded by many people as the simplest of the quantum mechanical valence-bond methods based on the Schrodinger equation. 66 Hiickel s was part of a series of applications of the method of linear combination of atom wave functions (atomic orbitals), a method that Felix Bloch had extended from H2+ to metals in 1928 and that Fowler s student, Lennard-Jones, had further developed for diatomic molecules in 1929. Now Hiickel extended the method to polyatomic molecules.67... 

He was made director of a new government laboratory in 1899 in Frankfurt, where he began to experiment in the synthesis of new substances not necessarily found in nature that could kill parasites or inhibit their growth without damaging the mammal. In 1902, Laveran and Mesnil of the Pasteur Institute found a method to infect mice with trypanosomes, and studied the effects of Fowler s Solution on them. They discovered that subcutaneous injection of the sodium salt of arsenous acid can cause the rapid disappearance of the parasite trypanosomes from the blood of mice and rats, but the parasites reappeared within a few days to cause the death of the animals. Ehrlich began... 

Lacher and Anderson discussed this phase diagram from the viewpoint of statistical thermodynamics based on the Fowler-Guggenheim treatment. On the other hand, Libowitz and Simon and Flanagan also calculated this phase diagram based on Libowitz s method mentioned in Section 1.3.7. The result obtained by the latter is the same as eqn (1.124). 

The methyl ester of nicotinic acid is selectively reduced to the 1,2-dihydropyridine 166 in a vast improvement over previous methods (Equation 87) <20010L201>. Low temperatures and choice of pyridinium-activating agent are crucial to avoid 1,4-dihydropyridine formation. A modification of Fowler s dihydropyridine synthesis was used to prepare the iV-acyldihydropyridine 167 (Equation 88) <20060L2961>. 

Lennard-Jones s interest in the kinetic aspects of gases stimulated by his relationship with Chapman in Manchester was further enhanced by Fowler s contributions to the theory. His stay with Max Born in Gottingen in 1929 was quite decisive in his becoming thoroughly acquainted with the new mechanics and reinforced his belief that quantum mechanics would help clarify a host of physical problems. He became convinced that quantum mechanics would help him deal with the problem that had vexed him since the beginning of his career—the nature of the forces exerted between the atoms and ions of gases and crystals. In his very first papers of the series "On the Determination of Molecular Fields," he attempted to devise new methods in order to, indirectly, derive information about these forces because the existing methods made it nearly impossible to proceed to a "direct calculation of the nature of the forces... 

Photoemission from metals into vacuum under applied electrical field should resemble the electrochemical system better than the simple Fowler s law does. However, tunneling processes have not always been invoked to explain photoinjection from metals into electrolytes. In fact, one of the most accepted theories is the rate law, to be described below. This theory does not take into account tunneling effects. So, although Fowler s theory has been accepted universally for photoemission into vacuum in the threshold frequency range, the improvement in the wave mechanical approach has been to solve for the partial flux more precisely, using methods for threshold creation phenomena. ...

An early theory of the IT value was proffered by Spencer and Fano [44], based on the degradation spectrum. Another method, the Fowler equation, was employed by Inokuti [47] for electron irradiation, based on the approximation that there is only one ionization potential and that the ionization efficiency is unity. These restrictions can be relaxed. The main result of Inokuti s analysis may be given as follows. 

An initial approach to fullerene enumeration was based on point-group symmetry (Fowler 1986 Fowler et al. 1988) and involved an extension of Coxeter s (1971) work on icosahedral tessellations of the sphere and of methods for the classification of virus structures (Caspar Klug 1962). This approach led to magic numbers in fullerene electronic structure (Fowler Steer 1987 Fowler 1990) and will be described briefly here. 

More recently there have been some modifications in the model, and the mathematical treatments have been considerably improved. Kirkwood (1111) used the Bernal-Fowler model and devised a statistical method to Eillow for near neighbors. Pople (1659) allowed for bending H bonds of the type shown in Fig. 8-1. Harris and Alder applied to Pople s model a statistical mechanical treatment which attempts a precise evaluation of distortion polarization (877). The calculated results are shown in Table 2-III, and in Fig. 2-1 they are compared with experimental values. These changes correct for failures of the simplest dipole picture, and as more of them are added the principal appeal of the electrostatic model—simplicity—tends to be lost.

The efRciency of the method, however, decreases as shades become deeper. According to Fowler and Preston (J.S.D.C., 1958, 74, 379) a significant improvement in colour yield can be obtained by the addition of 150 to 200 g per litre of urea to the padding liquor. The eflFect is more apparent with cotton than with viscose. The following dyes respond well ...

Th.e refinements of the theory, which have been worked out in particular by Houston, Bloch, Peierls, Nordheim, Fowler and Brillouin, have two main objects. In the first place, the picture of perfectly free electrons at a constant potential is certainly far too rough. There will be binding forces between the residual ions and the conduction electrons we must elaborate the theory sufficiently to make it possible to deduce the number of electrons taking part in the process of conduction, and the change in this number with temperature, from the properties of the atoms of the substance. In principle this involves a very complicated problem in quantum mechanics, since an electron is not in this case bound to a definite atom, but to the totality of the atomic residues, which form a regular crystal lattice. The potential of these residues is a space-periodic function (fig. 10), and the problem comes to this— to solve Schrodinger s wave equation for a periodic poten-tial field of this kind. That can be done by various approximate methods. One thing is clear if an electron...
