INDEX global model

Unless two profiles are compared with a single observation or a summarizing index, the comparison involves a set of metrics these may be specific observation points such as Fw, F2q, and F3Q, fitted function parameters such as a and [> of a Weibull distribution, or estimated semi-invariants AUC, MDT, and VDT. In this situation, each metric can be compared separately, resulting in a manifold of independent local comparisons alternatively, all relevant metrics may be summarized in a common global model by means of multi-variate techniques (16). 

A global sensitivity analysis was performed for the lead concentration in the arterial blood model (Fig. 7) over the simulation period for each parameter. Parameters considered for the sensitivity analysis are listed in Table 8 (Annex 1). The magnitude of sensitivity is shown by relative sensitivity index. It was observed that the most influential parameter is the porosity of the sediment of the river (phi sed)...

In contrast, EET has been historically modelled in terms of two main schemes the Forster transfer [15], a resonant dipole-dipole interaction, and the Dexter transfer [16], based on wavefunction overlap. The effects of the environment where early recognized by Forster in its unified theory of EET, where the Coulomb interaction between donor and acceptor transition dipoles is screened by the presence of the environment (represented as a dielectric) through a screening factor l/n2, where n is the solvent refractive index. This description is clearly an approximation of the global effects induced by a polarizable environment on EET. In fact, the presence of a dielectric environment not only screens the Coulomb interactions as formulated by Forster but also affects all the electronic properties of the interacting donor and acceptor [17],... 

The multi-mode model for a tubular reactor, even in its simplest form (steady state, Pet 1), is an index-infinity differential algebraic system. The local equation of the multi-mode model, which captures the reaction-diffusion phenomena at the local scale, is algebraic in nature, and produces multiple solutions in the presence of autocatalysis, which, in turn, generates multiplicity in the solution of the global evolution equation. We illustrate this feature of the multi-mode models by considering the example of an adiabatic (a = 0) tubular reactor under steady-state operation. We consider the simple case of a non-isothermal first order reaction...

In Section 3.3.1, we have shown the reliability of the Ao> index to predict the reactivity of polar DA reactions.39 The model based on Ao>, used to characterize the DA cycloadditions, may be extensible to the 1,3-DC reactions.92,93 Thus, depending on the electrophilicity potential displayed by dipole/dipolarophile pairs, the mechanisms for these 1,3-DC reactions will have a more or less marked polar character. The global electrophilicity values of the simplest dipole reagents (see Chart 4) used in the 1,3-DC reactions quoted in Table 8 were evaluated using (2). 

Theoretical models provide interesting alternatives to evaluate intrinsic electronic substituent effects. This can be done for instance by means of the response functions defined as global or local reactivity indices. The variations of a reactivity index for a set of functional groups attached to a common molecular frame may also be taken as a measure of the influence that the different substituents may have on the reactivity pattern of molecules. 

When a molecule is represented as an object with well-defined boundaries, geometric methods of analysis may be applied. Several steric parameters have been derived from the model in w hich atoms, hence molecules, are represented as geometric objects with surfaces and volumes. The boundary of an atom is usually determined by its van der Waals radius. Surface area and volume of groups and molecules can be estimated. Bondi,Hermann, and Pearlman are among those who have studied surface area and volume. Molar refractivity (MR), calculated from density and refractive index, has frequently been used to estimate the bulk or global volume of a molecule or group. A more recent trend is to use MR as a model for dispersion interactions.
