Model survival

The interphase between an electrolyte solution and an electrode has become known as the electrical double layer. It was recognized early that the interphase behaves like a capacitor in its ability to store charge. Helmholtz therefore proposed a simple electrostatic model of the interphase based on charge separation across a constant distance as illustrated in Figure 2.12. This parallel-plate capacitor model survives principally in the use of the term double layer to describe a situation that is quite obviously far more complex. Helmholtz was unable to account for the experimentally observed potential dependence and ionic strength dependence of the capacitance. For an ideal capacitor, Q = CV, and the capacitance C is not a function of V. 

Langmuir-Hinshelwood rate expressions of all the reactions of the network were used in the kinetic modeling of the HDN of quinoline by Satterfield et al. (80, 81, 88). Their assumption that there is a single catalytic site for all reactions is too simple. Nevertheless, they collected an impressive body of kinetic data and pinpointed the reactions that were close to equilibrium and those which were kinetically significant. Gioia and Lee (100) extended these studies to higher pressures (up to 15 MPa H2). Only one model survived their regression analysis of the kinetic data. In this model, it was necessary to assume that 1,2,3,4-THQ reacted directly not only to o-propylaniline but also to propylbenzene (PB) and propylcyclohexene (PCHE). Their analysis does not appear to be very reliable, however. First,...

The potential for normal brain tissue injury is one of the limiting factors in the use of XRT for brain tumors. Pentobarbital is a cerebral radioprotectant in rodent and primate models after single doses, but is associated with significant risks. Of alternative barbiturates, thiopental given to tats receiving 70-Gy (7000-rad) whole-brain irradiation in a single fraction enhances the 30-day survival similarly to pentobarbital, whereas ethohexital and phenobarbital show no radioprotective activity (250). 

Sterilization of Media First-order kinetics may be assumed for heat destruction of living matter, and this leads to a linear relationship when logarithm of the fraction surviving is plotted against time. However, nonlogarithmic kinetics of death are quite often found for bacterial spores. One model for such behavior assumes inactivation of spores via a sensitive intermediate state by the mechanism ... 

This small figure may also be compatible with a logarithmic decay [34,57]. Also, the survival probability of a blob of A species embedded in a B sea (separated by a wall of empty sites) decreases in time with exponent 6 = 0.80 0.20 (see Eq. (6)), reminiscent of critical behavior of the ZGB model at the first-order IPT [34]. 

Monte Carlo simulations [17, 18], the valence bond approach [19, 20], and g-ology [21-24] indicate that the Peierls instability in half-filled chains survives the presence of electron-electron interactions (at least, for some range of interaction parameters). This holds for a variety of different models, such as the Peierls-Hubbard model with the onsite Coulomb repulsion, or the Pariser-Parr-Pople model, where also long-range Coulomb interactions are taken into account ]2]. As the dimerization persists in the presence of electron-electron interactions, also the soliton concept survives. An important difference with the SSH model is that neu-... 

The inner layer (closest to the electrode), known as the inner Helmholtz plane (IHP), contains solvent molecules and specifically adsorbed ions (which are not hilly solvated). It is defined by the locus of points for the specifically adsorbed ions. The next layer, the outer Helmholtz plane (OHP), reflects the imaginary plane passing through the center of solvated ions at then closest approach to the surface. The solvated ions are nonspecifically adsorbed and are attracted to the surface by long-range coulombic forces. Both Helmholtz layers represent the compact layer. Such a compact layer of charges is strongly held by the electrode and can survive even when the electrode is pulled out of the solution. The Helmholtz model does not take into account the thermal motion of ions, which loosens them from the compact layer.
