Mechanical Disparity

Letting the compression force/dx P/s, with being the cross-sectional area of the X segment and P the pressure, one can derive the geometrical and mechanical disparity of the H-bond. At quasi-equilibrium P drives 0 H contraction). 

As the constraint for the P-induced H-bond relaxation, this relationship indicates that the effective cross-sectional area of the 0 H non-bond is smaller than that of the H-O bond, which explains why the 0 H non-bond masters the relaxation dynamics of water ice upon being compressed and why the 0 H relaxes more than the H-O bond does in the relaxation [5].

Coulomb repulsion and mechanical disparity within the H-bond differentiate ice from other materials in response to compression. 

Consistency between MD-derived and measured proton symmetrization [10, 12], low compressibility [23], and phonon relaxation dynamics [4—6] of water ice verified the hypothesis that the weaker 0 H bond is highly compressive, yet the stronger H-O bond is elongated because of the resultant force of the compression, the repulsion, and the mechanical disparity within the H-bond. One may conclude... 

Coulomb repulsion between the electron pairs and the mechanical disparity of the segments to compression form the key to the physical anomalies of ice upon compression. 

The relationship of the selectivity of an electrophile to its reactivity is a separate issue, because the above quantitative correlations of reactivity can be used empirically, without accepting that they allow comment about the reactivity of electrophiles. There is no direct evidence for the view that differences in the selectivities of electrophiles are related in a simple way to their different reactivities. Indeed, it is difficult to grasp the meaning of comparisons attempted between electrophiles of very different structures, which bring about reaction under disparate conditions by different mechanisms. 

The cross-linking reaction mechanism is also influenced by the presence of other monomers. Methyl methacrylate is often used to improve the uv resistance of styrene-based resins. However, the disparate reaction rates of styrene and methacrylate monomer with the fumarate unsaturation not only preclude the use of more than 8% of the methacrylate monomer due to the significant slowing of the cross-linking reaction but also result in undercured products. 

The above discussion has tacitly assumed that it is only molecular interactions which lead to adhesion, and these have been assumed to occur across relatively smooth interfaces between materials in intimate contact. As described in typical textbooks, however, there are a number of disparate mechanisms that may be responsible for adhesion [9-11,32]. The list includes (1) the adsorption mechanism (2) the diffusion mechanism (3) the mechanical interlocking mechanism and (4) the electrostatic mechanism. These are pictured schematically in Fig. 6 and described briefly below, because the various semi-empirical prediction schemes apply differently depending on which mechanisms are relevant in a given case. Any given real case often entails a combination of mechanisms. 

At first glance, the science of vapor cloud explosions as reported in the literature seems rather confusing. In the past, ostensibly similar incidents produced extremely different blast effects. The reasons for these disparities were not understood at the time. Consequently, experimental research on vapor cloud explosions was directed toward learning the conditions and mechanisms by which slow, laminar, premixed combustion develops into a fast, explosive, and blast-generating process. Treating experimental research chronologically is, therefore, a far from systematic approach and would tend to confuse rather than clarify. 

A fully theoretical calculation of a potential energy surface must be a quantum mechanical calculation, and the mathematical difflculties associated with the method require that approximations be made. The first of these is the Bom-Oppenheimer approximation, which states that it is acceptable to uncouple the electronic and nuclear motions. This is a consequence of the great disparity in the masses of the electron and nuclei. Therefore, the calculation can proceed by fixing the location... 

If fondly recall the first day of an introductory graduate statistical mechanics class. As our instructor walked into the class saying something entirely appropriate like So, are we all ready for a lesson in quantum field theory today , he was of course met with a room-full of blank stares (even a few - later embarrassed - behind-the-back giggles). As first-year graduate students we had unfortunately not yet developed the requisite maturity to appreciate the profound link that exists between statistical mechanics and modern field theory. I resolved to never again be as quick to dismiss any obvious disparity or seeming disconnectedness between two subjects. 

Clouds. Cloud feedback mechanisms are among the most complex in the climate system, due to the many disparate roles played by clouds, which control a large portion of the planetary albedo but also trap terrestrial radiation, reducing the energy escaping to space. To complicate matters further, different t5 es of clouds behave differently in the same environment. In the present climate mode, clouds have... 

Numerous and disparate copper criteria are proposed for protecting the health of agricultural crops, aquatic life, terrestrial invertebrates, poultry, laboratory white rats, and humans (Table 3.8) however, no copper criteria are now available for protection of avian and mammalian wildlife, and this needs to be rectified. Several of the proposed criteria do not adequately protect sensitive species of plants and animals and need to be reexamined. Other research areas that merit additional effort include biomarkers of early copper stress copper interactions with interrelated trace elements in cases of deficiency and excess copper status effects on disease resistance, cancer, mutagenicity, and birth defects mechanisms of copper tolerance or acclimatization and chemical speciation of copper, including measurement of flux rates of ionic copper from metallic copper. 

Current best estimates for natural plagioclase weathering rates are one to three orders of magnitude lower than laboratory rates. Surface characteristics which may play a role in determining rates and mechanisms of feldspar dissolution (including non-stoichiometric dissolution and parabolic kinetics) in the laboratory include adhered particles, strained surfaces, defect and dislocation outcrops, and surface layers. The narrow range of rates from experiments with and without pretreatments indicates that these surface characteristics alone cannot account for the disparity between artificial and natural rates. 

The visible and near-infrared LID results for NO/Pt were discussed in terms of hot electrons combined with a charge transfer mechanism. For the 193 nm LID result considered here, the photon energy is above the substrate work function, thereby providing a direct source of electrons to bathe the adsorbed NO species. Comparison of translational energy and vibrational state distributions for NO/Pt(lll), NO/Pt(foil), and N0/Ni(100)-0 suggests that the mechanisms driving the desorption processes in these systems might be related. However, the details of the specific interaction potentials must be substantially different to account for the disparate spin-orbit and rotational population distributions. 

An aspect of these collagenases that bears directly on inhibition studies is that of their activation mechanism(s). In vitro studies have shown that pro-HFC and pro-HNC, as well as the other pro-MMP, can be activated by a variety of seemingly disparate means, including treatment with protein-ases, heavy metals, oxidants, disulphide compounds, alkylating agents, and conformational perturbants. The molecular basis for the latency of these zy-...
