The mechanisms of the allergy-like reactions to RCM are still a matter of speculation (table 2). Anaphylaxis to RCM has been discussed to be due to a direct membrane effect possibly related to the osmolality of the RCM solution or the chemical structure of the RCM molecule (pseudo-allergy) [2], an activation of the complement system [27], a direct bradykinin formation [28], or an IgE-mediated mechanism [3].

The crystal stmcture of PPT is pseudo-orthorhombic (essentially monoclinic) with a = 0.785/nm b = 0.515/nm c (fiber axis) = 1.28/nm and d = 90°. The molecules are arranged in parallel hydrogen-bonded sheets. There are two chains in a unit cell and the theoretical crystal density is 1.48 g/cm. The observed fiber density is 1.45 g/cm. An interesting property of the dry jet-wet spun fibers is the lateral crystalline order. Based on electron microscopy studies of peeled sections of Kevlar-49, the supramolecular stmcture consists of radially oriented crystaUites. The fiber contains a pleated stmcture along the fiber axis, with a periodicity of 500—600 nm. 

The two main termination steps for neutral solutions are HO + HO — H2O2 + 2 O3 and HO + HO3 — H2O2 + O3 + O2. An alternative mechanism has been proposed that does not involve HO and HO but has a different initiation step (26). Three ozone molecules are destroyed for each primary event. In the presence of excess HO radical scavengers, ie, bicarbonate, the pseudo-first-order rate constant at 20°C for the initiation step is 175 X. This yields an ozone half-hfe of 66 min at pH 8. In distilled water = 50 mmol/L), the half-hfe is significantly lower, ie, 7 min. 

Sol-Gel Techniques. Sol-gel powders (2,13,15,17) are produced as a suspension or sol of coUoidal particles or polymer molecules mixed with a Hquid that polymerizes to form a gel (see Colloids SoL-GELtechnology). Typically, formation of a sol is foUowed by hydrolysis, polymerization, nucleation, and growth. Drying, low temperature calciaation, and light milling are subsequently required to produce a powder. Sol-gel synthesis yields fine, reactive, pseudo-crystalline powders that can be siatered at temperatures hundreds of degrees below conventionally prepared, crystalline powders. 

Most distillation systems ia commercial columns have Murphree plate efficiencies of 70% or higher. Lower efficiencies are found under system conditions of a high slope of the equiHbrium curve (Fig. lb), of high Hquid viscosity, and of large molecules having characteristically low diffusion coefficients. FiaaHy, most experimental efficiencies have been for biaary systems where by definition the efficiency of one component is equal to that of the other component. For multicomponent systems it is possible for each component to have a different efficiency. Practice has been to use a pseudo-biaary approach involving the two key components. However, a theory for multicomponent efficiency prediction has been developed (66,67) and is amenable to computational analysis. 

The diffusion, location and interactions of guests in zeolite frameworks has been studied by in-situ Raman spectroscopy and Raman microscopy. For example, the location and orientation of crown ethers used as templates in the synthesis of faujasite polymorphs has been studied in the framework they helped to form [4.297]. Polarized Raman spectra of p-nitroaniline molecules adsorbed in the channels of AIPO4-5 molecular sieves revealed their physical state and orientation - molecules within the channels formed either a phase of head-to-tail chains similar to that in the solid crystalline substance, with a characteristic 0J3 band at 1282 cm , or a second phase, which is characterized by a similarly strong band around 1295 cm . This second phase consisted of weakly interacting molecules in a pseudo-quinonoid state similar to that of molten p-nitroaniline [4.298]. 

To illustrate the relationship between the microscopic structure and experimentally accessible information, we compute pseudo-experimental solvation-force curves F h)/R [see Eq. (22)] as they would be determined in SEA experiments from computer-simulation data for T z [see Eqs. (93), (94), (97)]. Numerical values indicated by an asterisk are given in the customary dimensionless (i.e., reduced) units (see [33,75,78] for definitions in various model systems). Results are correlated with the microscopic structure of a thin film confined between plane parallel substrates separated by a distance = h. Here the focus is specifically on a simple fluid in which the interaction between a pair of film molecules is governed by the Lennard-Jones (12,6) potential [33,58,59,77,79-84]. A confined simple fluid serves as a suitable model for approximately spherical OMCTS molecules confined... 

Any combination of first-order reactions can be simulated by extension of this procedure. Reversible reactions add only the feature that reacted species can be regenerated from their products. Second-order reactions introduce a new factor, for now two molecules must each be independently selected in order that reaction occur in the real situation the two molecules are in independent motion, and their collision must take place to cause reaction. We load the appropriate numbers of molecules into each of two grids. Now randomly select from the first grid, and then, separately, randomly select from the second grid. If in both selections a molecule exists at the respective selected sites, then reaction occurs and both are crossed out if only one of the two selections results in selection of a molecule, no reaction occurs. (Of course, if pseudo-first-order conditions apply, a second-order reaction can be handled just as is a first-order reaction.)...
