The purpose of this review is to provide the reader with a scenario of what can be accomplished with nickel complexes. It is useful to do this via a series of broad schemes, hypothetical in some cases, which show the main reaction patterns, without considering mechanistic details. Examples will illustrate the various processes, but extension to other substrates or to different conditions often requires use of alternative ligands or solvents, or a change from a neutral complex to a cationic or anionic species, as indicated above. For references to syntheses with nickel see Baker et al. (10). For criteria for the synthesis of coordination compounds and stability of organotransition metal complexes in general, see references (11. 12). Organometallic literature has been collected periodically by Bruce (13).

The rodent motor thalamus consists of two main components the ventromedial nucleus and the ventral anterior/ventral lateral nuclear complex. In the rat, both components are targeted by nigrothalamic fibers and by pallidothalamic fibers arising from both the pallidal divisions, and are conveyed to the medial agranular cortex, equivalent to the primate supplementary motor and premotor areas (Sakai et al., 1998 Kha et al., 2000 Sakai and Bruce, 2004). 

Partly from lack of space, we have restricted our general discussion of the use of the literature and information retrieval services. The comments of Bruce and the references he cites are valuable here. Also we have not given statistical analyses of published papers. The relative importance of literature on various elements is, however, apparent from our book lists and the appendix of review articles clearly silicon and boron compounds have been most thoroughly studied. We broadly endorse the comments of Bruce about the relative importance of various journals in organometallic chemistry—except to add that the organometallic chemistry of the Main Group elements has been particularly widely investigated in the USSR. Books and papers from Russian authors are therefore of considerable importance.

From the earlier discussion and from Table 57.1 [11], we would expect that a combined feedforward-feedback control system would retain the superior performance of the feedforward controller and the insensitivity of the feedback controller to uncertainties and inaccuracies. Figure 57.4 shows the main components of a feedforward-feedback control system they include the feedforward controller incorporated with the process model, the feedback controller, and the dynamic compensator. The function of feedback element is to correct the action of the feedforward controller in the case of measurement and modeling inaccuracy. Courtois et al. [12] and Bruce and McFarlane [13] implemented the combined feedforward-feedback control system for mixed-flow grain dryers.
