Ahphatic diazo compounds are convenient starting materials for the generation of carbenes by photolytic or thermal methods. Decomposition of diazo compounds can be catalyzed by some metals or metal salts (63,64). Whereas copper salts were first used, rhodium(ll) acetate has recently become recognized as one of the most efficient catalysts and is now used almost exlusively (65). 

Carius (wet combustion) method. Decomposition of organic compounds containing halogen or sulfur in a sealed tube in the presence of red, fuming nitric acid at 250-300C in such a manner that halogen is converted to ionic halide and sulfur to sulfate. 

Another method, very often used for NIR analysis, is the partial least squares (PLS) procedure. This method is slightly different from PCR, because the two steps of the last method (decomposition and regression) are carried out at the same time and the decomposition process also includes concentration information. The results (eigenvectors and scores) are thus different and generally more relevant, because they are more related...

Mixed Oxides. A variety of mixed oxides shows basic properties especially when they contain Mg or Ca as a component (2,28-30). In a variety of combinations containing Mg, the number of basic sites is higher than that of neat MgO, probably because of increased surface area. Mg0-La203 is highly basic and an active catalyst for transfer esterification and Michael addition (29,30). Mixed oxide precursors can be prepared by a co-precipitation method or by a sol-gel method. Decomposition of hydrotalcite and its analogs at about 673 K is a typical way of preparing Mg-Al oxides, as described above.

A partial wave decomposition provides the frill close-coupling quantal method for treating A-B collisions, electron-atom, electron-ion or atom-molecule collisions. The method [15] is siumnarized here for the inelastic processes...

On the industrial scale oxygen is obtained by the fractional distillation of air. A common laboratory method for the preparation of oxygen is by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. H Oj, a reaction catalysed by manganese(IV) oxide ... 

Methods of decomposing the nonbonded force evaluation fall into two classes, spatial decomposition [15] in which atoms and their interactions are divided among processors based on their coordinates, and force-matrix decomposition [16] in which the calculation of the interaction between a pair of atoms is assigned to a processor without considering the location of either atom (Fig. 1). Spatial decomposition scales better to large numbers of... 

The fifth and final chapter, on Parallel Force Field Evaluation, takes account of the fact that the bulk of CPU time spent in MD simulations is required for evaluation of the force field. In the first paper, BOARD and his coworkers present a comparison of the performance of various parallel implementations of Ewald and multipole summations together with recommendations for their application. The second paper, by Phillips et AL., addresses the special problems associated with the design of parallel MD programs. Conflicting issues that shape the design of such codes are identified and the use of features such as multiple threads and message-driven execution is described. The final paper, by Okunbor Murty, compares three force decomposition techniques (the checkerboard partitioning method.

The method of hydrolysis depends on the nature of the product. It is usually sufficient to add dilute sulphuric acid to the ethereal solution and to shake thoroughly, when the magnesium enters the aqueous solution, whilst the organic compound remains in the ether. Alternatively, however, the ethereal solution may be poured on to ice and water, and then treated with dilute sulphuric acid. Should the product be affected by this acid, the hydrolysis can be carried out with an aqueous solution of ammonium chloride. In the following examples the hydrolysis is usually shown as a simple double decomposition... 

The most frequently used modifications of the basic Gaussian elimination method in finite element analysis are the LU decomposition and frontal solution techniques.
