Network nodes

Fig. 9 Honeycomb-like architectures formed on self-assembly of halide anions (which work as tridentate XB acceptors and sit at the networks nodes) with 1,4-DITFB (which works as bidentate donor and forms network sides) (A). The angles formed by the XBs around the halide anions determine the corrugation of the honeycomb architecture, a more planar arrangement around the halide anions (as is the case of the iodide anions in adduct l,4-DITFB/Me4P+r (B) with respect to the bromide anions in adduct l,4-DITFB/Ph4P+Br (C)) results in a less corrugated honeycomb architecture...

To find this term, we need to calculate the activity and error for all relevant network nodes. For input nodes, this activity is merely the input signal x. For all other nodes, the activity is propagated forward ... 

Although the SOM is a type of neural network, its structure is very different from that of the feedforward artificial neural network discussed in Chapter 2. While in a feedforward network nodes are arranged in distinct layers, a SOM is more democratic—every node occupies a site of equal importance in a regular lattice. 

Each node is drawn at a position defined by its two weights, interpreted as an x- and a y-coordinate, respectively. Connecting lines are then drawn to join nodes that are next to each other in the SOM lattice. Thus, if the first and second SOM nodes, with lattice positions [0,0] and [0,1], have initial weights (0.71,0.06) and (0.98,0.88), points are drawn at (x = 0.71, y = 0.06) and (x = 0.98, y = 0.88) and connected with a line. The points occupy the available space defined by the range of x and y coordinates. Because the data points are positioned at random within a 1 x 1 square, the network nodes are initially spread randomly across that same space. 

The primary difficulty in using the SOM, which we will return to in the next chapter, is the computational demand made by training. The time required for the network to learn suitable weights increases linearly with both the size of the dataset and the length of the weights vector, and quadratically with the dimension of a square map. Every part of every sample in the database must be compared with the corresponding weight at every network node, and this process must be repeated many times, usually for at least several thousand cycles. This is an incentive to minimize the number of nodes, but as the number of nodes needed to properly represent a dataset is usually unknown, trials may be needed to determine it, which requires multiple maps to be prepared with a consequent increase in computer time. 

Each of the examples mentioned above behave slightly differently and these differences are due to the detailed structure. In each case the hydrocarbon groups associate via hydrophobic bonding but HMHEC for example can show a critical concentration threshold for this to occur. HEUR on the other hand tends to associate at all concentrations. This is due to accessibility of the hydrophobes as they are at the ends of very flexible chains. In HMHEC, however, we have a much stiffer chain with the hydrophobes spread randomly along it. It is therefore a more difficult process to bring these together to form network nodes. HP AM conforms more closely to HMHEC than HEUR but, as we have groups of hydrocarbon chains at each modification site, it associates somewhat more readily. 

Computer clusters contain a number of processors put together on a motherboard into a unit known as a node. The nodes are then hooked together with other boards via high-speed communications networks. Nodes can be hardwired into supercomputers produced by companies like IBM and Compaq or... 

Object statistics are collected from individual objects. They allow the network engineering analyst to evaluate the performance of specific network nodes or links (a single hub s Ethernet delay or a server balancing change, as in our example). 

The basic model presented in Chapter 3.4.2 distinguishes between internally manufactured intermediates and externally procured raw materials without considering make or buy options for intermediates. For some application cases it might however be required to include make or buy - decisions in the network design model. The decision can be made either for the entire production network or individually for each site. In order to incorporate make or buy - decisions (and possibly vendor selection), suppliers have to be modeled as an additional network node. Table 11 contains the additional indices, parameters and decision variables required to implement a make or buy formulation for intermediates.

The procedure of arriving at a probable mechanism via an empirical rate equation, as described in the previous section, is mainly useful for elucidation of (linear) pathways. If the reaction has a branched network of any degree of complexity, it becomes difficult or impossible to attribute observed reaction orders unambiguously to their real causes. While the rate equations of a postulated network must eventually be checked against experimental observations, a handier tool in the early stages of network elucidation are the yield-ratio equations (see Section 6.4.3). This approach relies on the fact that the rules for simple pathways also hold for simple linear segments between network nodes and end products. 

Yield ratio equations assume simple forms if product formation is irreversible. If it is not, the equations for irreversible formation are reasonable approximations at very low conversions. Equations for products arising from the same or different network nodes were given in Section 6.4.3. The procedure of application will be illustrated here. 

Industrial practice often confronts the development engineer with networks that are considerably more complicated than that of cyclohexene hydroformylation in the example above. Additional simplifications may then be desirable or necessary in order to arrive at a model that remains manageable in the highly iterative applications called for in reactor design and optimization and possibly on-line process control. A useful and usually successful way of achieving such streamlining is to place all network nodes at end members or non-trace intermediates, ignoring the fact that some of them may be at trace-level intermediates [10].

Metal-organic open networks similarly represent templates for the study of molecular motion processes in confined environments, as illustrated with the confined guesf species in fhe dicarbonifrile-based nanomeshes depicted in Fig. fOd,e. Individual dicarbonitrile linkers confined in the cavities formed by [(NC-Ph3-CN)3/2Co] nanomeshes, can be, for instance, rotated back and forth between two metastable positions. On the other hand, the honeycomb nanomeshes qualify as templates to steer the formation of Fe and Co nanostructures by offering nucleation sites at their rims and nodes. They notably can be used to control the surface distribution of Fe clusters that comprise a small number of atoms. The preferential nucleation sites are the ligands of the networks for temperatures in the range 90-120 K and the networks nodes for temperatures in the range 190-220 K (cf. Fig. lOf) [214].
