Functionality, enhanced

Make an early architectural decision about how much you will tradeoff performance, seamlessness, reuse, code flexibility, and so on. If your clients shout for little functional enhancements every day (something that is typical for in-house financial trading software), optimize the underlying communications and infrastructure but leave the business model pristine. But if your software will be embedded in a million car engines for 10 years, optimize for performance.

For catalysts, the roles of NPs can be classified by their end-use function. Electrochemical applications of catalytic NPs focus on two main functions enhancing an electrochemical reaction or assisting electron transfer at an electrode surface. Electrochemical reactions can occur at the NP core or the periphery, depending upon the design of the NP. However, electron transfer mechanisms can proceed through the core due to the conductivity of metallic NPs. 

Metallic NPs are most widely used in catalytic applications due to their inherent properties. Several examples of platinum and gold NPs are apparent in the literature. For example, electrodeposited platinum NPs on porous carbon substrates exhibit electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of methanol.60 In another example, gold NPs catalyze the electrochemical oxidation of nitric oxide on modified electrodes.61 In general, catalytic NPs provide two distinct functions enhancing an electrochemical reaction and/or increasing electron transfer to an electrode.

Figure 28-14 A "tailed circle" consisting of an enhancer linked to, but topologically separated from, a gene. One of the DNA strands of this plasmid bears two copies of an SV40 enhancer sequence, one copy inverted with respect to the other. This extra region protrudes from the circle and self-pairs to form a functional enhancer. The main body of the circle contains the p-globin gene, transcription of which is increased by the enhancer. Twisting of the enhancer has no effect on the winding of the strands on the main body of the circle nevertheless, the enhancer efficiently increases P-globin transcription. From Ptashne.355...

The solid line in Figure 23.20 shows that the experimental enhancements in X for Cp2Co under the ECE conditions of Equations 23.30-23.32 adequately track those predicted by theory if one treats kc as a First-order rate constant.

Pore size was also found to be the main factor affecting separation selectivity of C18 columns from different manufacturers, compared to evaluate the applicability of sequence-specific retention calculator peptide retention prediction algorithms. Differences in end capping chemistry did not play a major role while the introduction of embedded polar groups to the C18 functionality enhanced the retention of peptides containing hydrophobic amino acid residues with polar groups [6]. 

While all new system users should be fully trained in their computer system duties and responsibilities as part of their induction or transfer to the role, regular refresher training should also be carried out, particularly after database modifications or functionality enhancements. 

We found the contraction of the f-wave functions to an atomic like character. This has an important consequense, because we see the onset of a cooperative effect, the orbital magnetic moment to spin conduction band electrons interaction and other correlations will generate an effective mass for the f-electrons which, in turn, will, by contraction of the f-wave function, enhance the atomic like character and then enhance the full process, hence the process will not be smooth or show linear behaviour the process will tend to present a sudden change of the f-electrons from a band character to an almost atomic like behaviour. This many-body effect is responsible for further scattering between the conduction electrons and the rare earth or actinide f electron states,...

As we study the fermentation properties of an increasing range of oligosaccharides we are starting to unravel the structure-function relationships in these molecules [111]. This, coupled with advances in carbohydrate bioengineering, will allow the knowledge-based design of prebiotics with specific functional enhancements. 

A rapidly developing class of functional carbohydrates are the prebiotics (O Chap. 5.3). Currently these selectively stimulate health-positive bacteria in the colon [256]. There are, however, possibilities to enhance their functionality. One such functional enhancement would be persistence of the prebiotic fermentation to the distal colon [263]. One way to approach this is to produce oligosaccharide mixtures with controlled molecular weight distributions. 

The silatecan (DB-67) (21) represents a new generation of camptothecin derivatives (see Table 12) that exhibits a potent in vitro DNA topoisomerase I (TOPl)-mediated DNA-damaging activity, improved blood stability, and holds significant promise for the treatment of human cancers [79]. This new agent was found to be 25-times more lipophilic than camptothecin it incorporates readily into cellular and liposomal bilayers. In addition, its 10-hydroxy functionality enhances drug stability in the presence of human serum albumin. Thus, the net... 

Replacement of the diethylamino group by other secondary amines with an open chain or cyclic structures resulted in decrease in activity. However, introduction of secondary amino functions enhanced the activity the optimal activity was found in 2-[(isopropyl)aminomethyl]-6-methy -7-nitro-l,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, called U.K, 3883 (13) [12,16], Exploiting the knowledge that hycanthone is the active metabolite of lucanthone, which may be prepared by microbial oxidation, the Pfizer scientists subjected 13 to microbiological oxidation in the presence of Aspergillus sderoticrutn and obtained the hydroxymethyl derivative of UK-3883, which was later known as UK-4271 or oxamniquine (14) [22,23], Oxamniquine proved to be a better...
