Note for the Reader

The work presented in this chapter has been published in the PhD dissertation of M. J. Tuinier (Eindhoven 2011) and in his publications on this topic. In the thesis and several journal publications also, the extension of the developed technology to biogas purification is discussed.

The laboratory has been identified as a distinct domain here to emphasize a point. In some cases, behavior of the system in the test tube or the Petri dish (in vitro) closely simulates the behavior of a pond or a forest ecosystem (in vivo). For many systems, however, care must be taken in extrapolating from the laboratory environment to the natural environment. The difference in scale of the mixing processes for the two systems and the presence of interspecies effects in the natural environment are but two factors that may be significant. This is not to say that the whole is not the sum of its parts, but simply to provide a cautionary note for the reader that it is important to recognize all of the parts and then to form the proper sum. The laboratory must be included in a description of how we go about studying natural systems for the simple reason that much experimental work of the natural sciences (biology, chemistry, and physics) occurs in the laboratory. 

Note A few symbols are duplicated. Although this is at times confusing, it does reflect common usage in the literature. Thus, it is an important notation for the reader to understand. Acronyms are defined in the glossary at the end of the book. 

Lemma 2 follows immediately from the additivity of rule R90, since any configuration is a superposition of configurations emerging from the initial states with a single nonzero site. The proof of Lemma 3 is left as an exercise for the reader. Note, however, that the first part of Lemma 3 shows that when N = 2 all configurations must eventually evolve to a fixed point consisting of all zero sites, since... 

Chapter 6 includes a priori estimates expressing stability of two-layer and three-layer schemes in terms of the initial data and the right-hand side of the corresponding equations. It is worth noting here that relevant elements of functional analysis and linear algebra, such as the operator norm, self-adjoint operator, operator inequality, and others are much involved in the theory of difference schemes. For the reader s convenience the necessary prerequisities for reading the book are available in Chapters 1-2. 

The style of the book is to present only a small amount of information on each page with a slide-like illustration using short descriptions and easily understood chemical equations and structures. Under each illustration is additional information or comments with room for the reader to make notes if desired. Although there is obvious continuity, an attempt has been made to make each page subject somewhat independent so that readers can study the contents of the book one page at a time at their own pace. Of necessity, because of this format, there is considerable repetition. We do not consider this bad. 

Note that the entire discussion has been given at the level of isolated elementary steps. In a steady state reaction situation one would have to compare the two routes on the basis ofthe apparent activation energies. We leave this as an exercise for the reader. 

Since there is no sharp boundary line between fact and theory, it is proper for the reader to be skeptical even of some of the facts in this moderately skeptical book. Some of them have been included for their interest and importance if true, rather than from a conviction of their truth. The reader will also note and perhaps help to close some rather alarming gaps in our fundamental information about ions and radicals, especially in quantitative information. The strength of the methods so ably applied by our predecessors has lain in the continuous confrontation of theory with experiment. It is not at all likely that we have reached a stage where we can afford to rely on either theory or experiment alone to the neglect of the other. 

A NOTE TO THE READER This book has been electronically reproduced from digital information stored at John Wiley Sons, Inc. We are pleased that the use of this new technology will enable us to keep works of enduring scholarly value in print as long as there is a reasonable demand for them. The content of this book is identical to previous printings. 

It should be noted that NOESY and ROESY pulse sequences also provide EXSY spectra, and therefore EXSY cross peaks may appear simultaneously in the 2D NOESY and ROESY spectra. EXSY cross peaks are always positive in both types of experiment, whereas dipolar cross peaks are negative in EXSY spectra independently of molecular weight and in NOESY spectra of small molecules. Therefore, in macromolecules the sign for NOESY and EXSY cross peaks is the same, and the two phenomena cannot be distinguished in NOESY experiments. In contrast, ROESY cross peaks have different sign from EXSY cross peaks and can be distinguished and even plotted selectively in ROESY experiments. These considerations are summarized in Table 8.3 for the reader s convenience. 

As was noted in CHEC-II(1996), a variety of names have been used for derivatives of pyrans and their benzo derivatives and many of these naming conventions have been reviewed in earlier works <1977HC(31), 1981HC(36)>. In the interests of continuity, and also because the use of common or trivial names is widespread in the literature, this chapter will also employ the nomenclature system that was employed in the corresponding chapter in GHEC-II(1996) <1996CHECII(5)301>. This material is reproduced for the readers benefit below. 

First of all, it should be noted by the reader that it is not within the scope of this chapter to give more background and details on analytical chemistry. The corresponding scientific knowledge and technical information have been described elsewhere (for instance Schomburg 1984 Lee et al. 1984 Chapman 1986 and many other lecture books). 

Note to the Reader. In this book, double parentheses are used for equation numbers whenever a previously presented equation is repeated for emphasis. 

The asymmetric margins are provided for entries and marginal notes of the reader. 

We should first briefly introduce a few notions of electrochemistry for the reader who is not familiar with this field [7]. To demonstrate the mechanism of electrochemical doping, we present a simplified picture—in reality, an oversimplified picture and consequently, not strictly correct. However, in our defense it should be noted that no comprehensive theory of the process of electrochemical doping at the microscopic scale exists at the present time. 

In this section, basics of diamond growth process will be briefly described for the readers who are not very familiar with diamond CVD. One will find more detailed descriptions for each process factor later in this monograph. Note that the descriptions below are only for typical cases using MPCVD, and do not always apply to all cases. 

Note that all of these conditions, as well as the diffusion equations for O and R, are linear. An important mathematical consequence is that the component concentrations Cq Cr and Cr can all be carried through the problem separately. Each makes a separable contribution to every condition. We can therefore solve individually for each component, then combine them through (5.7.2) and (5.7.3) to obtain the real concentration profiles, from which we derive the current-time relationship. These steps, which are detailed in the first edition, are left for the reader now as Problem 5.12.
