Gateway state

At the barrier height, the action in the reactive mode is equal to zero. Setting it to zero yields an expression for the energies of the quantized states sitting above the barrier. These are the gateway states. This expression is given by... 

The bias necessary to promote sampling of the gateway states is administered with respect to an order parameter - some suitable chosen macrovari-...

It appears that the countries surrounding these three regional states and shifting alliances will play important roles in the future of the region. Armenia feels encircled by Turkic states to the east and west, namely Turkey and Azerbaijan, and seeks to ally itself with Iran and Russia. Azerbaijan and Georgia have turned their face to the West, and consider Turkey a gateway to the West and also an important ally to counter possible Russian hegemony. 

An important consideration for a three-dimensional macrosculpture is selecting the material from which the sculpture will be made. For example, the Statue of Liberty would not be effective as a wire sculpture. The function of the Statue of Liberty is to welcome travelers to the New York harbor as a gateway to the United States. In wire, the statue would be missed entirely by travelers. The materials used in a sculpture can determine its success or failure as a work of art. In Activity 5.4, students will be instructed about the use of plaster, sometimes called plaster of Paris, as a medium for three-dimensional macrosculpture. The preparation of plaster of Paris and the chemical changes that occur during preparation are discussed. 

From 2,5-dihydrofuran, the most obvious derivative is tetrahydrofuran (THF), formed by the hydrogenation of the C=C bond. The C=C bond is also reactive for hydroformylation and olefin metathesis to add additonal functionality and structure. As stated earlier, the next intermediate, 2,3-dihydrofuran (2,3-DHF) serves as the gateway to CPCA family of chemicals. Hydration of 2,3-DHF produces 2-hydroxytetrahydrofuran, which can be readily converted to gamma-butyrolactone, pyrrolidinone (and N-substituted pyrrolidinones). Finally hydrogenation of hydroxytetrahydrofuran yields 1,4-butanediol in high yields. 

Obviously, the electronic energies E (R) for n 0 corresponds in a similar manner to potential surfaces for electronically excited states. Each PES usually exhibits considerable structure for a polyatomic system and will provide useful pictures with reactant and product valleys, local minima corresponding to stable species, and transition states serving as gateways for the system to travel from one valley to another. However, for the number of nuclear degrees of freedom beyond six, i.e. for more than four-atom systems it becomes extremely cumbersome to produce the PES s and quite complicated to visuahze the topology. Furthermore, when more than one PES is needed, which is not unusual, there is a need for nonadiabatic coupling terms, which also may need interpolation in order to provide useful information.

On the other hand, the rapid advancement of laser spectroscopy has made it possible to produce atoms in highly exited states. It has been realized, that these Rydberg atoms in uniform external fields are gateway systems for studying various aspects of chaos in... 

The P cluster is an FegS cluster that lies at the interface of the a- and /3-subunits of the MoFe protein. It is situated about 15 A from the site at which the Fe protein binds and about the same distance from the FeMoco, suggesting a role in electron transfer. This idea was first supported by a tandem EPR/kinetics study, in which the (small) characteristic spectroscopic change observed corresponds to the rate of FeMoco reduction.More direct evidence comes from the observation in a mutant of a characteristic EPR signal that disappears during turnover and then returns.Therefore, the P cluster is generally viewed as a gateway for electron transfer into the catalytic FeMoco center. The P cluster is observed in several redox states the most common are called P (or P° ), P " ", and P (fully reduced).
