Incidental measurement

Peak resolution is usually easier if well chosen background parameters are input and if constrained optimization methods are utilised. Misleading results can be obtained if the constraints are too limited and tests with unconstrained optimization are desirable if at all possible. In particular, the possible presence of paracrystalline or intermediate phase peaks must be tested with extreme care in order to avoid ambiguity. It is not sufficient to have a good mathematical resolution alone, all peaks must be significant in crystallographic or structural terms. The incidental measurement of peak-area crystallinity is considered to be of secondary importance to the resolution of overlapping peaks. 

In general, physical methods have been used to study tautomerism more successfully than chemical methods, and, of the physical methods, those involving measurements of basicities and ultraviolet spectra are the most important, followed by those involving measurement of infrared and proton resonance spectra. An attempt is made here to delineate the scope and to indicate the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods. A short review by Mason of the application of spectroscopic methods appeared in 1955. Recently a set of reviews on the applications of physical methods to heterocyclic chemistry has appeared, which treats incidentally the determination of tautomeric structure. 

There clearly must be effects from other elements present in the steel incidentally or functionally, but a reasonable relationship between this factor and the measured pitting potential is shown for a large number of steels in Fig. 3.19. Of interest, but not yet explained, is the shape of the curve as discussed elsewhere . 

RDX. Gilpin Winkler (Ref 38b) measured a heat of nitration of — 88.0kcal/mole of hexa-mine for the reaction of hexamine with 97.5% nitric acid. They also obtained a value of — 140kcal/mole of hexamine for the formation of RDX from hexamine and Bachmann reagents (acetic anhydride, acetic acid, ammonium nitrate and nitric acid). Incidentally, Gilpin Winkler interpret their results to mean that hexamine dinitrate is an intermediate in the direct nitrolysis of hexamine to give RDX, while hexamine mononitrate is an intermediate in the Bachmann process of producing RDX... 

Incidentally, air blast effects correlate much better with computed Q s rather than calori-metrically measured Q s (Ref 6)... 

Incidentally, 31 contributes more to the hybrid than 32, as shown by bond-distance measurements. In benzenediazonium chloride, the C—N distance is 1.42 A, and the N—N distance 1.08 A, which values lit more closely to a single and a triple bond than to two double bonds (see Table 1.5). Even aromatic diazonium salts are stable only at low temperatures, usually only below 5°C, though more stable ones, such as the diazonium salt obtained from sulfanilic acid, are stable up to 10 or 15°C. Diazonium salts are usually prepared in aqueous solution and used without isolation, though it is possible to prepare solid diazonium salts if desired (see 13-20). The stability of aryl diazonium salts can be increased by crown ether complexion. ...

Indeed, by using soft El ionization, we have been able to unambiguously detect products from all five reaction pathways (2a)-(2e), determine their branching ratio and characterize their dynamics.34 Here we discuss some of the results that we have obtained on this reaction, which well exemplify the power of soft El ionization. First of all, from measurements of the El efficiency curves at various to/e ratios (15, 42, and 43), we have found that the parent ion at m/e = 43 (CH2CHO+, corresponding to one of the main reaction channels, the vinoxy radical,) is not stable, so measurements of angular and TOF distributions were carried out at m/e = 42. Incidentally, from the El ionization efficiency curve at m/e = 42 we have obtained some direct information on the IE of the vinoxy radical, for which no such information was available till now. The IE should be <11 eV. 

A from 85VAC input. Its measured efficiency was around 62%, in line with the published datasheet curves, and also the predictions of my Mathcad spreadsheet (that spreadsheet is, incidentally, available on the accompanying CD-ROM of my A to Z book). The output stage of my grizzly creation is shown in Figure 5-3 (try selling this one ). But it works ... 

Negative employee moral may manifest itself in an aspect of direct damage to company equipment as retribution. These effects may be disguised as accidental events in order to avoid persecution by the individuals involved. Other incidents may be perpetrated by outright terrorist activities. Incidental effects may develop into catastrophic incidents unbeknown even to the saboteur. The design of facilities should account for periods when management and labor relations may not be optimum and opportunities for vandalization could easily avail themselves. Where terrorist activity is ongoing suitable preventive measures must be instituted (i.e., increased security measures, barricades, etc.). 

Currently, the most exciting work on the shape function is being done in the fields of atomic and molecular similarity. One certainly expects the shape function to continually appear as those fields continue to progress. However, the role of the shape function in those fields is presently incidental the shape function appears, but underlying theory plays no essential role. It would be interesting to develop molecular similarity measures that exploit the insights from the shape-functional pictures of electronic changes. 

Third, if a weight is only incidental to the overall result of an accurate quantitative analysis, then it need not be made on an analytical balance. This means that if the weight measurement to be performed has no bearing whatsoever on the quantity of the analyte tested, but is only needed to support the chemistry or other factor of the experiment, then it need not be measured on an analytical balance. 

Greater purification could be achieved, usually on a smaller scale, if the desired protein had easily measurable properties (e.g. was an enzyme), so that the specific activity of the product and extent of purification could be estimated. Well into the 1950s any enzyme required in a laboratory had first to be isolated by those needing it. With increased knowledge of enzyme properties two further methods of purification were commonly tried heat denaturation of contaminating proteins (with the incidental discovery of some remarkably heat-resistant enzymes), and protein precipitation at the iso-electric point. 

In the first of four chapters in this volume of Topics in Stereochemistry, Michinori Oki presents a comprehensive review of atropisomerism with special reference to the literature of the past two decades. The review summarizes restricted rotation about sp2-sp2, sp2-sp, and sp3-sp3 bonds and it concludes with an analysis of reactions of isolated rotational isomers. It places particular emphasis on the magnitude of rotation barriers as a function of structure (incidentally identifying some of the largest barriers yet measured to conformer interconversion) and on the isolation of stable single-bond rotational diastereomers. 

For the general population, the oral route of exposure has been considered the major route, including inhalation of air (indoors and outdoors), ingestion of food, incidental ingestion of soil, and ingestion of dust (indoors), as well as direct contact with products that contain phthalates. Some studies suggested [17, 18] that food represents the most important source of exposure to DMP, DEP, DBP, butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), and DEHP. A few studies showed that air inhalation could be also an important route of exposure [19-21], while others did not find any significant correlation between urinary levels in children and home dust measurements of phthalates [22].
