A system requirement spec often reflects the business model closely, as in this case. Differences occur where the business model is general to several systems or where there are special mechanisms of interaction with the user apart from any domain concepts (for... 

Due to the integral approximations used in the MNDO model, closed-shell Pauli exchange repulsions are not represented in the Hamiltonian, but are only included indirectly, e.g., through the effective atom-pair correction terms to the core-core repulsions [12], To account for Pauli repulsions more properly, the NDDO-based OM1 and OM2 methods [23-25] incorporate orthogonalization terms into the one-center or the one- and two-center one-electron matrix elements, respectively. Similar correction terms have also been used at the INDO level [27-31] and probably contribute to the success of methods such as MSINDO [29-31],... 

The development above, which is similar to that found in many physical chemistry and statistical thermodynamic texts, is modeled closely after Berry et al. (Berry, R. S., Rice, S. A. and Ross, J. Physical Chemistry, Wiley, New York (1980)). 

Finally, the Board notes the steps taken by the Indian authorities to prevent diversions of the substance, as well as the stringent measures introduced by industry to self-regulate trade in the substance. The Board urges the Steering Committee of Operation Topaz to examine the Indian model closely and determine whether similar steps can be introduced in other countries participating in the operation. 

As mentioned earlier, obtaining and interpreting the actual experimental flow pattern is usually impractical. Hence, the approach taken is to postulate a flow model which reasonably approximates real flow, and then use this flow model for predictive purposes. Naturally, if a flow model closely reflects a real situation, its predicted response curves will closely match the tracer-response curve of the real vessel this is one of the requirements in selecting a satisfactory model. 

Primary cultures developed from pig and cow tissue are the best studied [29-32]. These models closely resemble the BBB, exhibiting many of the key biological properties. However isolation of blood-brain endothelial cells requires relatively complex cell isolation procedures which are labor-intensive and not ideal for screening purposes. Other cell types have been shown or proposed to induce barrier function, for example, astrocytes/pericytes. Significant improvements in barrier function was achieved in these primary culture models by including astrocyte conditioned media or co-culturing with astrocytes [33]. The complexity of primary cultures led to the use of epithelial cell lines not derived from the BBB (e.g., MDCK, MDCK-MDRl or LLC-PKl) [33]. 

Limiting (6-311+G basis set) Hartree-Fock bond lengths in the compounds examined are consistently shorter than experimental distances, the same result as seen for multiple bonds in hydrocarbons. Results obtained using the 6-31G basis set are nearly identical, which suggests that the 6-31G model closely reflects the Hartree-Fock limit insofar as bond length calculations for these types of systems. 

Other systems like H2-H2 feature a small number of bound states. Whenever molecular pairs form bound dimers, spectroscopic structures appear. First and usually most importantly, the continuum of the purely rotational band appears, but various other structures associated with bound-to-free transition usually show up that are harder to model closely. As a rule, the rototranslational absorption spectra of most molecular systems are not as easily modeled as that of H2-He, because of the dimer structures. Of course, in the typical high-pressure laboratory measurements, dimer structures may be broadened to the point where these are hardly discernible. In such a case, the BC and KO model profiles may become adequate again. In any case, the rototranslational spectra of a number of binary systems have been modeled closely over a broad range of temperatures [58], including the (coarse) dimer structures. 

Measurements of these relatively minor species will not only complete the budget of NO, but will also indicate if our understanding of the hydrocarbon oxidation schemes in the atmosphere is complete. The organic nitrates that completed the NO, budget in the example in Figure 9 arose primarily from the oxidation of the naturally emitted hydrocarbon, isoprene (2-methylbutadiene). To demonstrate the oxidation mechanisms believed to be involved in the production of multifunctional organic nitrates, a partial OH oxidation sequence for isoprene is discussed. The reaction pathways described are modeled closely to those described in reference 52 for propene. The first step in this oxidation is addition of the hydroxyl radical across a double bond. Subsequent addition of 02 results in the formation of a peroxy radical. With the two double bonds present in isoprene, there are four possible isomers, as shown in reactions 2-5 ...

The mechanism of growth of columnar structure ZnO layers assumes the presence of nanosized clusters in the reagent flow and that the formation of ZnO layers can be described by a model close to the one of Witten-Sanders. Increase of target-to-substrate distance leads to the decrease of the number of aggregates in the flow near the substrate and to the improvement of the structural perfection of ZnO layers. 

The actual results of isotopic analyses of herbivore bone from animals with a variety of diets are shown in Figure 2B The line represents a direct relationship between isotopic composition of gelatin and that of apatite with an offset of -t o/oo due to the blood bicarbonate effect mentioned above The results in Figure 2B are all from contemporary herbivores and fit the model closely Ancient herbivore bones give similar results ( Thus we can use either carbon isotopes in gelatin or carbon isotopes in apatite to determine dietary intake in herbivores For very old bones collagen is usually decomposed (15) and only the apatite results can be obtained ... 

For the pure alumina sample the chosen model for computing cumulative surface area. SedB, cumulative volume Fedn and surface area and volume distribution as a function of pore size is a cylinder closed at one end. This choice is motivated by the type IV shape of the isotherm and by the E type hysteresis. In the case of the cylinder model closed at one end, the relevant branch of the isotherm is the adsorption. The calculation is carried out from the saturation pressure down to the pressure corresponding to the hysteresis loop s closing. The cumulative specific surface area, SadB, is close to both 5bet and St values for the pure mesoporous material, X(0) (Table 1). 

A particular example from our laboratory is observed in compound 5, in which a basic amino group held rigidly on a mimic of the coenzyme pyridoxamine phosphate is able to convert ketoacids to amino acids with high enantioselectivity (15) (Fig. 3). This reaction is modeled closely to the way in which transaminase enzymes achieve the same goal. 

These classical interaction potentials must be parameterized, e.g. the magnitude of the partial charges on each atom in the molecule must be assigned, and the equilibrium bond length and size of the harmonic force constant must be attached to each bond. In the early biomolecular MM forcefields, these parameters were developed to produce molecular models that could reproduce known experimental properties of the bulk system. For example, several MM water models have been developed. ° One of the earliest successful models, TIP3P, was parameterized such that simulations of boxes of TIP3P molecules reproduced known thermodynamic properties of water, such as liquid density and heats of vaporisation. Such a parameterisation scheme is to be applauded, as it ties the molecular model closely to experiment. Indeed many of the common MM models of amino acids were developed by comparison to experiment, e.g. OPLS. Indeed it is such a good... 

The model was able to predict the culture dynamics for batch, fed-batch, and cell growth arrested cultures, especially up to the exponential growth phase, after which certain variable predictions deviated from the experimental results in fed-batch cultures, e.g. the viable cell concentration in the optimised fed-batch culture tended to be overestimated, and the simulated glucose uptake rate near the end of the fed-batch cultures was higher than observed. The model closely predicted the monoclonal antibody concentration in the optimised fed-batch culture despite an underestimation of the viable cell concentration. The model developed was able to direct experimental efforts to a more focused area in this case study. The monoclonal antibody yield in the optimised fed-batch culture was 3.5xl0 mg L" which was about 40% higher than the initial fed-batch culture. Further improvement of the model structure may be necessary to enhance its predictive capability. 

The Federal Rules of Evidence (ERE) were adopted in 1975. Subsequently most states (at least 37) have adopted their own codified rules of evidence modeled closely on the FRE. For scientific evidence, the most relevant of the Rules are found in Article VII of the FRE in a section known as Opinions and Expert Testimony. Prior to 1993, some federal appellate courts had applied Rule 702 of the Federal Rules of Evidence to medical and scientific experts. (Rule 702 authorizes scientific testimony whenever it will assist the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue.) In 1993, in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 US 579, the Supreme Court of the United States issued an important interpretation of Rule 702. Seven of the nine justices ruled that judges must serve as evidentiary gatekeepers who determine whether proffered evidence is scientifically valid and relevant. The Court suggested several factors for judges to consider in determining whether to admit a particular theory or technique Is the theory or hypothesis testable Has it been tested Has the theory or technique been subjected to peer review and publication For a particular scientific technique or methodology, what is the known or potential rate of error What (if any) are the standards that control the technique s operation To what extent is the theory or technique generally accepted in the scientific community ...
