In contrast to potentiometry with ISEs, the drain current is measured with the ISFET and not the voltage. As the drain current depends only approximately linearly on A 0 and as the aK (>ri) value depends on the properties of the membrane surface (for example, on the adsorption of surfactants), measurement of activities using an ISFET requires careful calibration. The response time depends on the membrane properties and is not affected by the components of the solid-phase sensor [162]. 

It is known that the nucleus pulposus of the spinal disc of young human beings have gel-like characteristics. In order to investigate this phenomenon ex vivo, young human spinal column was subjected to loading expected in vivo. Their non-linear and time-dependent response of the human disc and the vertebral column to loading were studied. 

Using the fluctuation-dissipation theorem [361, which relates microscopic fluctuations at equilibrium to macroscopic behaviour in the limit of linear responses, the time-dependent shear modulus can be evaluated [371 ... 

Figure 16 (145). For an elastic material (Fig. 16a), the resulting strain is instantaneous and constant until the stress is removed, at which time the material recovers and the strain immediately drops back to 2ero. In the case of the viscous fluid (Fig. 16b), the strain increases linearly with time. When the load is removed, the strain does not recover but remains constant. Deformation is permanent. The response of the viscoelastic material (Fig. 16c) draws from both kinds of behavior. An initial instantaneous (elastic) strain is followed by a time-dependent strain. When the stress is removed, the initial strain recovery is elastic, but full recovery is delayed to longer times by the viscous component.

The concept of a biocatalytic membrane electrode has been extended to the use of a tissue slice as the catalytic layer. An example of this approach is an electrode for AMP which consists of a slice of rabbit muscle adjacent to an ammonia gas electrode. NHj is produced by enzymatic action of rabbit muscle constituents on AMP The electrode exhibits a linear range of 1.4 x 10 to 1.0 x 10 M with a response time varying from 2.5 to 8.5 min, depending on the concentration. Electrode lifetime is about 28 days when stored between use in buffer with sodium azide to prevent bacterial growth. Excellent selectivity enables AMP to be determined in serum. 

We only consider static response properties in this chapter, which arise from fixed external field. Their dynamic counterparts describe the response to an oscillating electric field of electromagnetic radiation and are of great importance in the context of non-linear optics. As an entry point to the treatment of frequency-dependent electric response properties in the domain of time-dependent DFT we recommend the studies by van Gisbergen, Snijders, and Baerends, 1998a and 1998b.

In fact, since the unsteady-state transport equation for forced convection is linear, it is possible in principle to derive solutions for time-dependent boundary conditions, starting from the available step response solutions, by applying the superposition (Duhamel) theorem. If the applied current density varies with time as i(t), then the local surface concentration at any time c0(x, t) is given by... 

Catalase was immobilized with gelatin by means of glutaraldehyde and fixed on a pretreated Teflon membrane served as enzyme electrode to determine hydrogen peroxide [248], The electrode response reached a maximum when 50mM phosphate buffer was used at pH 7.0 and at 35°C. Catalase enzyme electrode response depends linearly on hydrogen peroxide concentration between 1.0 X 10-5 and 3.0 X 10-3 M with response time 30 s. 

The linear response theory [50,51] provides us with an adequate framework in order to study the dynamics of the hydrogen bond because it allows us to account for relaxational mechanisms. If one assumes that the time-dependent electrical field is weak, such that its interaction with the stretching vibration X-H Y may be treated perturbatively to first order, linearly with respect to the electrical field, then the IR spectral density may be obtained by the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function G(t) of the dipole moment operator of the X-H bond ... 

We find the linear response of a subsystem in contact with a reservoir to an external perturbation involving some variable B of the subsystem and depending on the time through a function F(t), so that the corresponding perturbation operator can be written in the form... 

The toxic effects model uses concentration-time profiles from the respiratory and skin protection models as input to estimate casualty probabilities. Two approaches are available a simple linear dose-effect model as incorporated in RAP and a more elaborate non-linear response model, based on the Toxic Load approach. The latter provides a better description of toxic effects for agents that show significant deviations of simple Haber s law behaviour (i.e. toxic responses only depend on the concentration-time product and not on each quantity separately). 

The actual form of the Hamiltonian operator hp does not have to be defined at this moment. As in standard perturbation theory, it is assumed that the solution of the electronic structure problem of the combined Hamiltonian HKS +HP can be described as the solution y/(0) of HKS, corrected by a small additional linear-response wavefunction /b//(,). Only these response orbitals will explicitly depend on time - they will follow the oscillations of the external perturbation and adopt its time dependency. Thus, the following Ansatz is made for the solution of the perturbed Hamiltonian HKS +HP ... 

Time-dependent response theory concerns the response of a system initially in a stationary state, generally taken to be the ground state, to a perturbation turned on slowly, beginning some time in the distant past. The assumption that the perturbation is turned on slowly, i.e. the adiabatic approximation, enables us to consider the perturbation to be of first order. In TD-DFT the density response dp, i.e. the density change which results from the perturbation dveff, enables direct determination of the excitation energies as the poles of the response function dP (the linear response of the KS density matrix in the basis of the unperturbed molecular orbitals) without formally having to calculate a(co). 

Dynode strings can be constructed in many ways and the response time and range of linearity of the detector depend on the configuration. In the Venetian blind configuration (Fig. 2.21c) the dynodes are wide strips of material placed at an angle of 45° with respect to the electron cascade axis. This system offers a large input area to the incident primary particles. The advantage is that the dynodes are easily placed in line and the dimensions...
