The two computational methods, CMS-Xa and LCAO B-spline DPT, for now provide consistent, comparable results [57] with little to choose between them in comparison with experiment in those cases presented here (Sections I.D. 1. a and I. D.a.2). The B-spline method holds the upper hand aesthetically by its avoidance of a model potential semiempirically partitioned into spherical atomic regions. More importantly it olfers greater scope for future development, particularly as the inevitable increases in available computing power open new doors. 

Future models need to account for several complex and potentially competing factors, including ... 

Is this the best model for the evaluation and approval of new therapies Should a product s approval be based in large part on the financial strength of the sponsor, and the value of the product s future revenue potential ... 

Figure 8B illustrates the potential distribution of B. anthracis in 2050. Although the south-to-north corridor is still visible, there is an apparent gap in northern Texas, with more loss of spore-promoting habitat in southernmost Texas. To illustrate this better, I recoded presence and absence for both the current-day prediction and the future projection using the classification. I selected a threshold of six or more model agreement from the best subset of each time period and recoded all values of six or more to a score of 1 to define presence in the current-day models and a score of 4 in the future models. In the current-day model, values of five or less were scored as a zero ... 

The earliest research in a field builds on past work and this always makes it difficult to ascribe priority to important discoveries that lead to new directions or paradigms for future research. Certainly, there were many early investigations that used computer simulation of Newton s equations of motion to tackle important open problems. For instance, Hirschfelder et al. [2] studied the dynamics of the gas phase H + H2 reaction on a model potential surface to determine the reaction rate. In later years this investigation spawned the field of gas phase molecular dynamics. The paper by Fermi et al. [3] on the simulation of the dynamics of a model one-dimensional solid was influential in the field of non-linear dynamics. Neither these papers nor the body of work they stimulated had an immediate important impact on statistical mechanics [4]. 

We would like to thank the contributors for the in-depth coverage of their topics, for their adherence to deadlines, and for serving as models for future and potential authors for this series. 

The importance of space stations as research laboratories for both space and earth sciences was realized long before the first station was launched, which may account for the continuation of space station programs. However, space stations are important for many other reasons. First, space stations allow national and international space agencies to expand and improve on their knowledge of space environments and the potential of space stations as semipermanent or even permanent habitats for humankind. Second, space stations offer an unprecedented opportunity for nations to experience a form of diplomacy and sharing of resources that could serve as a future model of foreign relations. Third, if the quest for new ways to understand the environment is to continue, that search must be extended into space to maintain an essential perspective that had been unavailable. Space stations are invaluable tools for extending the ways humankind learns about itself and its environment. 

The development of some of the secondary models such as conditioned place preference and electrical brain stimulation which do not require intravenous drug injections will continue to occur (for complete descriptions of the conditioned place preference paradigm and validation data, see Bardo and Bevins (2000) or Cunningham et al. (2006, 2011) for a complete description of the electrical brain stimulation model, also see O Neill and Todtenkopf (2010) or McBride et al. (1999)). A better understanding of the predictivity of these models and correlation with the traditional self-administration model will be required for these models to assume a mainstream position in abuse potential assessment. The self-administration model s predictive correlation to abuse potential in humans has been well characterized but new models will have to be characterized and published to have equal impact in future abuse potential testing. 

The Kowalska model of solute retention with use of the multicomponent mobile phases [22-30] points out the fact that the generally accepted interpretation of the I coefficient does not fully exhaust the potential physicochemical contents of this factor, the statement that anticipates the eventual future models also immersed in the fundamentals of physical chemistry, but refraining from the assumptions made by Martin and Synge, and by their successors. 

The following section aims to evaluate the potential for future model sensitivity improvements, through using lubricant chemistry and tribological performance data from tribometer tests. 

These two potential forms suggest the complication of the potential in a real simulation. Those simple model potentials in Table 10.1 may have limited applications particularly for nanosystems. This is important for future investigations in other systems. 

SAMs are generating attention for numerous potential uses ranging from chromatography [SO] to substrates for liquid crystal alignment [SI]. Most attention has been focused on future application as nonlinear optical devices [49] however, their use to control electron transfer at electrochemical surfaces has already been realized [S2], In addition, they provide ideal model surfaces for studies of protein adsorption [S3]. 

The role of oceanic physical chemistry and biochemistry in the enhanced greenhouse future is still uncertain. We have discussed the mechanisms generating a number of potential feedbacks, both positive and negative in their impact. However, new interactions are constantly being discovered in nature, and model representation of them is a rapidly evolving science. At present what we can say is that this is a young field of much intellectual and practical promise. 

It is evident that an approximate — 1.5cr shift ean be determined from the data and so the Cpi value is more suitable as a model. Using the graph on Figure 6, whieh shows the relationship Cp, (at 1.5cr shift) and parts-per-million (ppm) failure at the nearest limit, the likely annual failure rate of the produet ean be ealeulated. The figure has been eonstrueted using the Standard Normal Distribution (SND) for various limits. The number of eomponents that would fall out of toleranee at the nearest limit, is potentially 30 000 ppm at = 0.62, that is, 750 eomponents of the 25 000 manufaetured per annum. Of eourse, aetion in the form of a proeess eap-ability study would prevent further out of toleranee eomponents from being produeed and avoid this failure rate in the future and a target Cp = 1.33 would be aimed for.
