Merriam-Webster dictionary online as an arrangement of atoms or molecules so bonded as to enclose a space in which another atom or ion (as of a metal) can reside [1], We can add that a caged chemical can profit from some special properties that are not granted to non-caged counterparts, which makes living in a molecular cage a notable privilege, as we will try to demonstrate. [Pg.129]

It is needless to say how useful have been NMR spectra in chemistry. A simple proof of this is tables and tables of chemical shifts for various types of atomic nuclei, particularly for proton chemical shifts and chemical shifts. Clearly, chemical shifts are atomic properties, but if one would add all carbon chemical shifts in a hydrocarbon, one would obtain a numerical quantity that can be viewed as a molecular entity. Let us elaborate on this. Paraphrasing what one finds in Wikipedia and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, one can write the following explanations for entity ... [Pg.206]

The word "accident" implies "a chance occurrence" outside your immediate control. The first definition of "accident" in my New Merriam-Webster Dictionary (1989) is "an event occurring by chance or rmintentionally" (page 23). When a child has an "accident" in his pants, we presume he was not in control. He could not help it. [Pg.43]

We usually talk about stress in negative terms. It is unwanted and uncomfortable, but the first definition of stress in my copy of The American Heritage Dictionary (1992) is "importance, significance, or emphasis placed on something" (page 1205). Similarly, The New Merriam-Webster Dictionary (1989) defines stress as "a factor that induces bodily or mental tension. .. a state induced by such a stress. . . urgency, emphasis" (page 701). [Pg.91]

The bad state is distress. Distress is defined as "anxiety or suffering. . . severe strain resulting from exhaustion or an accident" The American Heritage Dictionary 1991, page 410) or "suffering of body or mind pain, anguish trouble, misfortune. .. a condition of desperate need" The New Merriam-Webster Dictionary, 1989, page 224). [Pg.91]

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines molecular weight as the average mass of a molecule of a compound compared with one-twelfth the mass of carbon 12 and calculated as the sum of the atomic weights of the constiment atoms. The first known use of molecular weight was in 1869. [Pg.106]

The NLProt system developed by Mika and Rost combines four support vector machines, trained individually for distinct tasks.The first SVM is trained to recognize protein names, whereas the second learns the environment in which a protein name appears. The third SVM is trained on both protein names and their environments. The output of these three SVMs and a score from a protein dictionary are fed into the fourth SVM, which provides as output the protein whose name was identified in the text. A dictionary of protein names was generated from SwissProt and TrEMBL, whereas the Merriam-Webster Dictionary was used as a source of common words. Other terms were added to the dictionary, such as medical terms, species names, and tissue... [Pg.384]
