Abstract The divergent synthesis, properties and functions of dendrimers terminated by metallocenyl redox groups are briefly illustrated in this micro-review, with emphasis on molecular electronics, sensing with regenerable derivatized Pt electrodes and efficient catalysis with dendrimer-stabilized Pd nanoparticles.

Eq. (1) would correspond to a constant energy, constant volume, or micro-canonical simulation scheme. There are various approaches to extend this to a canonical (constant temperature), or other thermodynamic ensembles. (A discussion of these approaches is beyond the scope of the present review.) However, in order to perform such a simulation there are several difficulties to overcome. First, the interactions have to be determined properly, which means that one needs a potential function which describes the system correctly. Second, one needs good initial conditions for the velocities and the positions of the individual particles since, as shown in Sec. II, simulations on this detailed level can only cover a fairly short period of time. Moreover, the overall conformation of the system should be in equilibrium. 

New questions have arisen in micro-scale flow and heat transfer. The review by Gad-el-Hak (1999) focused on the physical aspect of the breakdown of the Navier-Stokes equations. Mehendale et al. (1999) concluded that since the heat transfer coefficients were based on the inlet and/or outlet fluid temperatures, rather than on the bulk temperatures in almost all studies, comparison of conventional correlations is problematic. Palm (2001) also suggested several possible explanations for the deviations of micro-scale single-phase heat transfer from convectional theory, including surface roughness and entrance effects.

In this volume not all stress types are treated. Various aspects have been reviewed recently by various authors e.g. The effects of oxygen on recombinant protein expression by Konz et al. [2]. The Mechanisms by which bacterial cells respond to pH was considered in a Symposium in 1999 [3] and solvent effects were reviewed by de Bont in the article Solvent-tolerant bacteria in biocatalysis [4]. Therefore, these aspects are not considered in this volume. Influence of fluid dynamical stresses on micro-organism, animal and plant cells are in center of interest in this volume. In chapter 2, H.-J. Henzler discusses the quantitative evaluation of fluid dynamical stresses in various type of reactors with different methods based on investigations performed on laboratory an pilot plant scales. S. S. Yim and A. Shamlou give a general review on the effects of fluid dynamical and mechanical stresses on micro-organisms and bio-polymers in chapter 3. G. Ketzmer describes the effects of shear stress on adherent cells in chapter 4. Finally, in chapter 5, P. Kieran considers the influence of stress on plant cells.

We are concerned here with systems that have been studied using secondary products—flavonoids and terpenoids in particular— but other information, including micro- and macrofossils, and occasionally chromosome numbers, will be included in the discussions when snch information is available. The majority of current research on postglacial reestablishment of plant distribution patterns is based on DNA seqnence information. In a few instances below, reference will be made to such information, but this in not the place for a detailed review of that literature.
