In the case of complex stoichiometries, and when several complexes can coexist in solution, data must be processed using several wavelengths simultaneously. This requires specific software. For instance, the commercially available SPEC FIT Global Analysis System (V3.0 for 32-bit Window Systems) deserves attention. This software uses singular value decomposition and nonlinear regression modeling by the Levenberg-Marquardt method [8]. 

This technique was employed to study the binding dynamics of Pyronine Y (31) and B (32) with /)-CD/ s The theoretical background for this particular system has been discussed with the description of the technique above. Separate analysis of the individual correlation curves obtained was difficult since the diffusion time for the complex could not be determined directly because, even at the highest concentration of CD employed, about 20% of the guest molecules were still free in solution. The curves were therefore analyzed using global analysis to obtain the dissociation rate constant for the 1 1 complex (Table 12). The association rate constant was then calculated from the definition of the equilibrium constant. 

An example of CQV of the batch cultivation of a vaccine has been demonstrated, where univariate (temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH) as well as spectroscopic tools were used to develop process models. The measurements were used for a consistency analysis of the batch process, providing better process understanding which includes the understanding of the variations in the data. MSPC analysis of four batches of data was performed to monitor the batch trajectories, and indicated that one batch had a deviation in the pH. From the MSPC information, combined with calibration models for the composition of the process based on NIR spectral data, improved monitoring and control systems can be developed for the process, consistent with concept of CQV. The data from the univariate sensors and NIR were also fused for a global analysis of the process with a model comprised of all the measurements.

Functionals that are monotonic, such as the appropriate total free energy, are called Lyapanov functions, and their existence simplifies global analysis. In the isothermal and constant-volume cases treated in this chapter, the total Helmholtz free energy is the Lyapanov function. However, other Lyapanov functions apply as the system constraints are generalized [9],... 

Field, K6ros and Noyes [13] suggested to use as the basic model for the Belousov-Zhabotinsky system a rather complicated set of chemical reactions with seven intermediate products. Its more global analysis based on macrokinetic stages and retaining still the principal features of this reaction [14] has led to the simplified scheme with three intermediate products only. This model called Oregonator [9, 15] is described by the following equations ...

The main cause of contradictions in studies of the present climate and its changes is the inadequacy of available observational databases. They remain incomplete and of poor quality. In this connection, Mohr and Bridge (2003) carried out a thorough analysis of how the global observing system has evolved. As is well known, climate is characterized by many parameters, such as...

International conventions and multilateral agreements trigger the evaluation of regional co-operation arrangements on the safe management of chemicals. Assessment and gap analysis are carried out under the Stockholm Convention (National implementation plans), the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) and SAICM (National profiles) (IOMC 2001, UNITAR/ILO 2005, SAICM 2007). 

A model of competition between plasmid-bearing and plasmid-free organisms in a chemostat was proposed by Stephanopoulos and Lapidus [SLa], who give a local analysis of various models. A global analysis of the behavior of system trajectories was presented in [HWW], and a portion of that analysis is sketched here. The major remaining problem is discussed after the description of the known results. There are other models of plasmid loss (and conjugation), for example, Stewart and Levin [SL2] and Macken, Levin, and Waldstatter [MLW]. The survey article of Si-monsen [Si] contains a discussion of the experiments and the theory.
