Hold-out

Advances in VP cationic polymerization hold out the possibiUty of tacticity, and the study of this route to crystalline homologues continues to be of interest. 

PSA coated tapes are used for a variety of applications in the electrical industry, but they have to meet additional requirements to be accepted in this industiy The adhesive are typically expected to be non-corrosive, they need to have good dielectric properties, they need to hold out moisture, and they need to show good flame retardaney. Espeeially for eleetronic applieations, little or no outgassing is aeceptable, and the adhesive should not introduce migratory contaminants resulting from exposure to release coatings or the presence of additives. 

It takes a membrane to make sense out of disorder in biology. Yon have to be able to catch energy and hold it, storing precisely the needed amount and releasing it in measured shares. A cell does this, and so do the organelles inside.. .. To stay alive, yon have to be able to hold out against equilibrium, maintain imbalance, bank against entropy, and yon can only transact this business with membranes in our kind of world.

The position of the break-even point serves as an indicator. If it is well to the right of the chart then the margin of safety will be poor. Conversely, a position to the right of the chart will hold out opportunities for expansion. 

Unquestionably the best way to achieve that end would have been to rewrite the book, to expand its size and its scope, along some lines which are still unconventional but hold out promise for future interest. The prospect of undertaking this frightened us. Also, we acknowledge that there already exists a monumental treatise of this elaborate sort, dedicated to the standard parts of the newer mathematics, in the work of Morse and Feshbach, whose excellence would be hard to approach. We, therefore, decided upon the less ambitious course of editing a work which offers what we regard as the most important components of today s useful mathematics in separate chapters written chiefly by experts. 

Clearly, further investigation is desirable before these observed variations in polarization with scavenger concentration can be unequivocally interpreted. However, these studies hold out high promise not only of... 

He shifts the painting under one arm and reaches to turn the frame down on its face on top of the broken glass. Oh, don t worry. I ll deal with it later. He holds out the painting. Here. I couldn t find anything else to carry down, but this you must have. I could never have sold it. I think you ve got its pair. ... 

Mark holds out a hand to me, palm down, the way you do when you want to touch someone just a little, at a safe distance. Yes, I stayed. . . Our eyes meet, but not with the heat of our shared past and present as they did at the castle. He looks tired and a little sad. Maybe he feels I m a safe distance away from him, safe enough to say these things, to ask for just a little help. His hand cups the back of mine for a moment. 

I hold out Antony s ring, heavy in my palm and warm from my heart s blood. The pilgrim s cockleshell gleams, then the little ship inside catches the light too, and I remember the sobriquet Louis de Bretaylles used. I think you know this ring. ... 

When I want more of his skin against mine, I uncurl and stand up, holding out my hand. He stands up too, and we go quite quietly and simply upstairs to my bedroom. 

For elastomers, factorizability holds out to large strains (57,58). For glassy and crystalline polymers the data confirm what would be expected from stress relaxation—beyond the linear range the creep depends on the stress level. In some cases, factorizability holds over only limited ranges of stress or time scale. One way of describing this nonlinear behavior in uniaxial tensile creep, especially for high modulus/low creep polymers, is by a power... 

The colloquy became a controversy, with Sprecher holding out against the rest of the staff. 

Although much has been discovered during late years, yet it seems highly probable that only the boundaries of the subject have been skirted, and that the vast field of research on the borderland, so to speak, between chemistry and physics, is almost virgin soil, holding out a bountiful harvest to those who, not content with treading the... 

The currently available quantum chemical computational methods and computer programs have not been utilized to their potential in elucidating the electronic origin of zeolite properties. As more and more physico-chemical methods are used successfully for the description and characterization of zeolites, (e.g. (42-45)), more questions will also arise where computational quantum chemistry may have a useful contribution towards the answer, e.g. in connection with combined approaches where zeolites and metal-metal bonded systems (e.g. (46,47)) are used in combination. The spectacular recent and projected future improvements in computer technology are bound to enlarge the scope of quantum chemical studies on zeolites. Detailed studies on optimum intercavity locations for a variety of molecules, and calculations on conformation analysis and reaction mechanism in zeolite cavities are among the promises what an extrapolation of current developments in computational quantum chemistry and computer technology holds out for zeolite chemistry. 

It is important to note that theoretic argument and empiric study have shown that the LOO cross-validation approach is preferred to the use of an external test set for small to moderate sized chemical databases [39]. The problems with holding out an external test set include (1) structural features of the held out chemicals are not included in the modeling process, resulting in a loss of information, (2) predictions are made only on a subset of the available compounds, whereas LOO predicts the activity value for all compounds, and (3) personal bias can easily be introduced in selection of the external test set. The reader is referred to Hawkins et al. [39] and Kraker et al. [40] in addition to Section 31.6 for further discussion of proper model validation techniques. 

In just the last year, several observations have allowed new constraints on neutron star structure (1) a mass of M > 1.6 M (at >95% confidence) has been measured for a neutron star (Nice et al. 2003) (2) the first surface redshift, 2 = 0.35, has been detected from a neutron star (Cottam et al. 2002), and (3) the first non-sinusoidal light curve has been measured from an accreting millisecond neutron star (Strohmayer et al 2003). These observations, along with many previously available data, hold out good hope for strong constraints on high-density matter in the next few years. 

Faithful even unto death. And you, his brother, come to me now and, knowing all, dare to hold out to me the hope of forgiveness and of peace and the man stared incredulously into the kind, pitying eyes bent upon him. 

A paclitaxel fullerene derivative has been obtained by covalent linkage of the dmg to the C60 by means of an ester, the hydrolysis of which presents a favorable kinetic profile, with consequent release of paclitaxel (Zakharian et al., 2005). The in vitro tests show a good anticancer activity, holding out hope for enhancing the dmg efficacy...
