Fractional measurement

The sum of the squared differences between calculated and measures pressures is minimized as a function of model parameters. This method, often called Barker s method (Barker, 1953), ignores information contained in vapor-phase mole fraction measurements such information is normally only used for consistency tests, as discussed by Van Ness et al. (1973). Nevertheless, when high-quality experimental data are available. Barker s method often gives excellent results (Abbott and Van Ness, 1975).

The data analyzed in this work were reported by Hill et al. ( ) for the copolymerization of styrene with acrylonitrile. They are shown in Table III in the form of triad fractions measured by C-NMR for copolymers produced at various feed compositions. One reason for choosing this particular dataset is that the authors did indicate the error structure of their measurement.

In this contribution, we report equilibrium modulus and sol fraction measurements on diepoxidet-monoepoxide-diamine networks and polyoxypropylene triol-diisocyanate networks and a comparison with calculated values. A practically zero (epoxides) or low (polyurethanes) Mooney-Rivlin constant C and a low and accounted for wastage of bonds in elastically inactive cycles are the advantages of the systems. Plots of reduced modulus against the gel fraction have been used, because they have been found to minimize the effect of EIC, incompleteness of the reaction, or possible errors in analytical characteristics (16-20). A full account of the work on epoxy and polyurethane networks including the statistical derivation of various structural parameters will be published separately elsewhere.

In the absence of pressure drop and void fraction measurements, umf is calculated from equation 9.36 and emf can be estimated from equation 9.35. 

The viscosity dependence of intramolecular excimer formation is complex. As in the case of molecular rotors (Section 8.2), most of the experimental observations can be interpreted in terms of free volume. However, compared to molecular rotors, the free volume fraction measured by intramolecular excimers is smaller. The volume swept out during the conformational change required for excimer formation is in fact larger, and consequently these probes do not respond in frozen media or polymers below the glass transition temperature. 

The position of equilibrium lies strongly to the left. However, it is the free form of the hormone which is physiologically active with the bound fraction acting as reserve supply . Typically therefore, the plasma total concentration of the hormone (bound + free fractions, measured typically in nmol/1) is of the order of 1000 times higher than the concentration of the free fraction alone (measured typically in pmol/1 concentrations). 

In a series of papers, Diphant has been used to probe the microviscous properties of various polymer oils, and free volume parameters have been extracted. 4,88 90) In a comparative study of Excimer and TICT probes, it could be shown that the response of these probes is frozen out at lower temperatures, as can be expected from the large reaction volume necessary, whereas the TICT reaction still shows sizable rates at these high-viscosity conditions. (26) Moreover, this study also showed that the free volume fraction measured by the TICT probes is larger than that measured by Excimer probes.

Although the sediments in these systems accumulate Se over time, the small isotopic contrast suggests that dissimilatory reduction is not the dominant accumulation mechanism. If dissimilatory reduction of Se(VI) and/or Se(IV) to Se(0) by bacteria were the dominant mechanism, one would expect the accumulated Se(0) to be enriched in the lighter isotope. In the San Francisco Estuary case, this assumes that the isotopic fractionations measured by Ellis et al. (2003) can be extrapolated to much lower concentrations. Incorporation of Se into algae and macrophyte tissues, followed by decay of some material and conversion of its Se to Se(0), is more consistent with the observed Se isotope data. Notably, the mean Se isotope composition of the Se(0) in the sediments of the Herbel et al. (2002) study was identical to that of the macrophytes. 

The combined effects of a +2.9%o equilibrium fractionation between Fe(III)aq and Fe(II)jq, and a +2.0%o fractionation between Fe(Ill)aq and ferrihydrite upon precipitation is illustrated in Figure 10. Although a k ki ratio of 5 appears to fit the fractionations measured by Bullen et al. (2001) (Fig. 10), we note that at these relatively low kjk ratios. Equation (16) cannot be used, but instead the calculations are made using an incremental approach and simple isotope mass-balance equations (e.g., Eqn. 12). As the kjki ratio increases to 20, Equation (16) may... 

Figure 10. Comparison of isotopic fractionations determined between Fe(II)aq and Fe carbonates relative to mole fraction of Fe from predictions based on spectroscopic data (Polyakov and Mineev 2000 Schauble et al. 2001), natural samples (Johnson et al. 2003), DIR (Johnson et al. 2004a), and abiotic formation of siderite under equilibrium conditions (Wiesli et al. 2004). Fe(II)aq exists as the hexaquo complex in the study of Wiesli et al. (2004) hexaquo Fe(II) is assumed for the other studies. Total cations normalized to unity, so that end-member siderite is plotted at Xpe = 1.0. Error bars shown reflect reported uncertainties analytical errors for data reported by Johnson et al. (2004a) and Wiesli et al. (2004) are smaller than the size of the symbol. Fractionations measured on bulk carbonate produced by DIR are interpreted to reflect kinetic isotope fractionations, whereas those estimated from partial dissolutions are interpreted to lie closer to those of equilibrium values because they reflect the outer layers of the crystals. Also shown are data for a Ca-bearing DIR experiment, where the bulk solid has a composition of q)proximately Cao.i5Feo.85C03, high-Ca and low-Ca refer to the range measured during partial dissolution studies (Johnson et al. 2004a).

Figure 12. Possible isotope fractionation steps during anaerobic photosynthetic Fe(II) oxidation (APIO). It is assumed that the process of oxidation proceeds through an oxidation step, where Fe(II),q is converted to soluble Fe(III) in close proximity to the cell, followed by precipitation as ferric oxides/hydroxides. As in DIR (Fig. 5), the most likely step in which the measured Fe isotope fractionations are envisioned to occur is during oxidation, where isotopic exchange is postulated to occur between pools of Fe(II) and Fe(III) (Aj). As discussed in the text and in Croal et al. (2004), however, it is also possible that significant Fe isotope fractionation occurs between Fe(III), and the ferrihydrite precipitate (Aj) in this case the overall isotopic fractionation measured between Fe(II), and the ferrihydrite precipitate would reflect the sum of A and Aj, assuming the proportion of Fe(III) is small (see text for discussion). Isotopic exchange may also occur between Fe(II),q and the ferric hydroxide precipitate (Aj), although this is considered unlikely.
