Modelling of the tme contact area between surfaces requires consideration of the defonnation that occurs at the peaks of asperities as they come into contact with mating surfaces. Purely elastic contact between two solids was first described by H Hertz [7], The Hertzian contact area (A ) between a sphere of radius r and a flat surface compressed under nonnal force N is given by...

Figure 9-26 shows a typical GA run in a first step, the original population is created. For each chromosome the fitness is determined and a selection algorithm is applied to choose chromosomes for mating. These chromosomes are then subject to the crossover and the mutation operators, which finally yields a new generation of chromosomes. 

The selection function is used to choo.se chromosomes which can then mate and thus give their coded information to the next generation. The idea behind the selection mechanism is to obtain more copies of better chromosomes in the next generation. 

One application of the grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation method is in the study ol adsorption and transport of fluids through porous solids. Mixtures of gases or liquids ca separated by the selective adsorption of one component in an appropriate porous mate The efficacy of the separation depends to a large extent upon the ability of the materit adsorb one component in the mixture much more strongly than the other component, separation may be performed over a range of temperatures and so it is useful to be to predict the adsorption isotherms of the mixtures.

The enone 807 is converted into the dienol triflatc 808 and then the conjugated diene 809 by the hydrogenolysis with tributylammonium for-mate[689,690]. Naphthol can be converted into naphthalene by the hydrogenolysis of its triflate 810[691-693] or sulfonates using dppp or dppf as a ligand[694]. Aryl tetrazoyl ether 811 is cleaved with formic acid using Pd on carbon as a catalyst[695].

The main example of a category I indole synthesis is the Hemetsberger procedure for preparation of indole-2-carboxylate esters from ot-azidocinna-mates[l]. The procedure involves condensation of an aromatic aldehyde with an azidoacetate ester, followed by thermolysis of the resulting a-azidocinna-mate. The conditions used for the base-catalysed condensation are critical since the azidoacetate enolate can decompose by elimination of nitrogen. Conditions developed by Moody usually give good yields[2]. This involves slow addition of the aldehyde and 3-5 equiv. of the azide to a cold solution of sodium ethoxide. While the thermolysis might be viewed as a nitrene insertion reaction, it has been demonstrated that azirine intermediates can be isolated at intermediate temperatures[3]. 

Nucleophilic reactivity of the sulfur atom has received most attention. When neutral or very acidic medium is used, the nucleophilic reactivity occurs through the exocyclic sulfur atom. Kinetic studies (110) measure this nucleophilicity- towards methyl iodide for various 3-methyl-A-4-thiazoline-2-thiones. Rate constants are 200 times greater for these compounds than for the isomeric 2-(methylthio)thiazole. Thus 3-(2-pyridyl)-A-4-thiazoline-2-thione reacts at sulfur with methyl iodide (111). Methyl substitution on the ring doubles the rate constant. This high reactivity at sulfur means that, even when an amino (112, 113) or imino group (114) occupies the 5-position of the ring, alkylation takes place on sulfiu. For the same reason, 2-acetonyi derivatives are sometimes observed as by-products in the heterocyclization reaction of dithiocarba-mates with a-haloketones (115, 116). 

This method, initiated by Marchesini in 1893 (26, 29), consists in the condensation of an a-halocarbony] compound with ammonium thiocarba-mate (157), R, = NH4 or its esters (157), R, = alkyl (Scheme 80).
