The diversity of approaches based on HF (section B3.2.3.4) is small at present compared to the diversity found for DFT. For solids, HF appears to yield results inferior to DFT due to the neglect of electron correlation, but being a genuine many-particle theory it offers the possibility for consistent corrections, in contrast to DFT. Finally, the QMC teclmiqiies (section B3.2.3.41 hold promise for genuine many-particle calculations, yet they are still far from able to offer the same quantities for the same range of materials and geometries as the theories mentioned before. With this wide range of methods now introduced, we will look at their application to chemisorption on solid surfaces. 

Similar calculations with consideration of the GP effect have also been reported [12]. A total of 24, 24, and 50 levels of Aj, A2, and E symmetries have been found below tbe dissociation threshold of the lower surface, —1.0560 eV. These are therefore genuine bound states the cone states lying above sucb a dissociation threshold are pseudobound states. The lowest levels of A, A2, and E symmetries are found to lie at —1.3475, —1.3438, and —1.3989eV, respectively. The notable feature is that the energy levels have been shifted due to the... 

ChemWindow supports ten (mostly internal) file formats for input and output, but only Moltile as a genuine exchange format. 

ISlS/Draw has no genuine molecular visualization tool. The rotate tool changes only the 2D rotate tool into a 3D rotate tool which rotates 2D structures in three dimensions. In order to visualize chemical structures in different styles and perspectives, it is necessary to paste the drawing, e.g., to the ACD/3D Viewer. 

The real world is one of uncertainty. Suppose we are carrying out a reaction. We have obtained a product. In the beginning we observe a total uncertainty regarding the molecule. We have no information about its composition, the constitution of the skeleton, its stereochemical features, its physical properties, its biological activities, etc. Step by step, by routine experiments, we collect data. When the acquisition of the structural information is complete there is no uncertainty, at least about its structure. Well, we may not have perfect experiments, so this will require us to reserve space for the missing relevant information. However, it is rather more noise than genuine uncertainty, which, by the way, will never be eliminated. 

First, we have an initial, and probably utterly crude, dataset. Genuine data pre-processing has only just started. The task is to assess the quality of the data. One of the topics for discussion in this chapter is the methods by which one finds out the potential drawbacks of the dataset. 

Furthermore, one may need to employ data transformation. For example, sometimes it might be a good idea to use the logarithms of variables instead of the variables themselves. Alternatively, one may take the square roots, or, in contrast, raise variables to the nth power. However, genuine data transformation techniques involve far more sophisticated algorithms. As examples, we shall later consider Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Wavelet Transform and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD).

As already pointed out, a Type III isotherm results from the BET equation when the value of c is less than 2 (p. 46). For c = 3, the isotherm is no longer strictly of Type III, but the point of inflection, at about 0Olp°, is barely perceptible, and at first glance the isotherm appears to be a genuine Type 111—a fact of some consequence because the value c 3 is relatively common amongst isotherms which are apparently of Type III.

It is possible for some projects to reach a stage at which repairs, replacements, etc., can exceed net earnings in a particular year. In this case the cumulative-discounted-cash-flow or net-present-value curve plotted against time has a genuine maximum. 

The issue of whether sperm counts are declining has been the focus of most media attention. A debate still continues as to whether the reported changes in sperm quality are genuine. In 1992, an article described the meta analysis of available data on semen quality in normal men, taken from reports published between the period 1938-1990. This analysis showed a 50% decline in sperm concentration... 

When ceramics slide on ceramics (Fig. 25.5), friction is lower. Most ceramics are very hard - good for resisting wear - and, because they are stable in air and water (metals, except gold, are not genuinely stable, even if they appear so) - they have less tendency to bond, and shear more easily. 

In the genuine low-temperature chemical conversion, which implies the incoherent tunneling regime, the time dependence of the reactant and product concentrations is detected in one way or another. From these kinetic data the rate constant is inferred. An example of such a case is the important in biology tautomerization of free-base porphyrines (H2P) and phtalocyanins (H2PC), involving transfer of two hydrogen atoms between equivalent positions in the square formed by four N atoms inside a planar 16-member heterocycle (fig. 42).

The situation is different for other examples—for example, the peptide hormone glucagon and a small peptide, metallothionein, which binds seven cadmium or zinc atoms. Here large discrepancies were found between the structures determined by x-ray diffraction and NMR methods. The differences in the case of glucagon can be attributed to genuine conformational variability under different experimental conditions, whereas the disagreement in the metallothionein case was later shown to be due to an incorrectly determined x-ray structure. A re-examination of the x-ray data of metallothionein gave a structure very similar to that determined by NMR. 

Finally, the structure of the original (genuine) tetrasaccharide (before acetylation and reduction) is Gal -pi-3-GlcNac-pl-3-Gal -pl-4-Glc, known as Lacto-A-tetrose ...
