Linear arrangement defined

A block polymer is a polymer comprising molecules in which there is a linear arrangement of blocks, a block being defined as a portion of a polymer molecule in which the monomeric units have at least one constitutional or configurational feature absent from the adjacent portions [4]. In a block copolymer, the distinguishing feature is constitutional, i.e. each of the blocks comprises units derived from a characteristic species of monomer. 

The difficulty here is how to simultaneously constrain y and / y to be positive semidefinite. To formulate it as a primal SDP problem (Eq. (1)), we should express these two conditions as a positive semidefinite constraint over a single matrix let y be a block-diagonal matrix in which two symmetric matrices yj and y2 are arranged diagonally, and let us express the interrelation between these two matrices via linear constraints defined by the matrices Ap and the constants as in Eq. (1). That is. 

Some fused systems are named systematically by using a multiplicative prefix in front of an ending representing a well-defined arrangement of cycles. For instance, the ending -acene, taken from anthracene, indicates a linear arrangement of benzene rings, as in tetracene, pentacene, etc.

The primary structure of a protein Is simply the linear arrangement, or sequence, of the amino acid residues that compose it. Many terms are used to denote the chains formed by the polymerization of amino acids. A short chain of amino acids linked by peptide bonds and having a defined sequence Is called a peptide longer chains are referred to as polypeptides. Peptides generally contain fewer than 20-30 amino acid residues, whereas polypeptides contain as many as 4000 residues. We generally reserve the term protein for a polypeptide (or for a complex of polypeptides) that has a well-defined three-dimensional structure. It Is implied that proteins and peptides are the natural products of a cell. 

If the branches bear functionality in a real case it is ignored here since it is not functionality required to activate (and define) the particular half-reaction. Certain partial synthons exhibit branched (non-linear) arrangement of functionality, e.g. malonate and acetoacetate carbanions in alkylation or a,/5-unsaturated ketones in a-alkylation. In these cases, one of the two functionalized strands out from the a-carbon may be deemed extraneous to the definition, as discussed in Ref. G"). 

The intent of metal coordination is to provide both a robust tanplate platform and a large diversity of stereochonical geometries defined by the coordination properties of the metal. In addition to tetrahedral and octahedral coordination geometries obtained, for example, with Cu(I) or Zn(II), respectively, linear arrangements can be obtained using Au(I) centers coordinated to alkyne- and phosphine-terminated strands to prepare different types of catenates. 2 Square planar coordination around Pd(II) was also used to generate a doubly interlocked [2]catenane, known as a Solomon link. ...
