To the best of our knowledge, there was only one attempt to consider inhomogeneous fluids adsorbed in disordered porous media [31] before our recent studies [32,33]. Inhomogeneous rephca Ornstein-Zernike equations, complemented by either the Born-Green-Yvon (BGY) or the Lovett-Mou-Buff-Wertheim (LMBW) equation for density profiles, have been proposed to study adsorption of a fluid near a plane boundary of a disordered matrix, which has been assumed uniform in a half-space [31]. However, the theory has not been complemented by any numerical solution. Our main goal is to consider a simple model for adsorption of a simple fluid in confined porous media and to solve it. In this section we follow our previously reported work [32,33]. 

Our main goal is to come up with a concise but comprehensive, practical but insightful book covering the topics discussed above. We hope you enjoy reading this book. Any suggestions and comments are welcome. 

The first part of this book is dedicated to a discussion of mass spectrometry (MS) instrumentation. We start with a list of basic definitions and explanations (Chapter 1). Chapter 2 is devoted to the mass spectrometer and its building blocks. In this chapter we describe in relative detail the most common ion sources, mass analyzers, and detectors. Some of the techniques are not extensively used today, but they are often cited in the MS literature, and are important contributions to the history of MS instrumentation. In Chapter 3 we describe both different fragmentation methods and several typical tandem MS analyzer configurations. Chapter 4 is somewhat of an outsider. Separation methods is certainly too vast a topic to do full justice in less than twenty pages. However, some separation methods are used in such close alliance with MS that the two techniques are always referred to as one combined analytical tool, for example, GC-MS and LC-MS. In effect, it is almost impossible to study the MS literature without coming across at least one separation method. Our main goal with Chapter 4 is, therefore, to facilitate an introduction to the MS literature for the reader by providing a short summary of the basic principles of some of the most common separation methods that have been used in conjunction with mass spectrometry. 

Nowhere we have aimed at completeness of data. Our main goal is to illustrate the influence of c.t. and 4/ i5ti states on the Itiminescence of lanthanide ions with pronounced examples. 

A detailed discussion of coded modulation is beyond the scope of this paper. Our main goal is to demonstrate that, with R = I, low bit-error rates (pb < 10 ) can be achieved within 1.6 dB of the maximal achievable rate of SCS. Fig. 7 shows... 

In this review, although we have tried to cover the necessary background information on the function and structure of the AAHs, our main goal has been to offer information on the catalytic mechanism operating in these non-heme iron-dependent enzymes. In particular, we have focused on mechanistically relevant information that has emerged from molecular-level computational studies. Special attention is paid to our own work in this area, although we have tried to put our results in the context of other contributions in the field. 

Our main goal is to construct the effective Hamiltonian and to solve the eigenvalue equation (3.29). There are various representations of effective Hamiltonian, Eq. (3.28) being only one of them. 

Our research in this field, which is summarised in this chapter, has been directed at obtaining a sensor modified with PB as electrochemical mediator which could avoid electrochemical interferences and could also couple the advantages of the screen-printed electrodes. For this purpose, an in-depth study of the modification procedure for PB deposition on the electrode surface was first conducted and then when an optimised procedure capable of providing an efficient and stable PB layer was obtained, it was applied with screen-printed electrodes in real analytical systems. Thus, our main goal has been not only to obtain a PB modification procedure suitable for a mass production of modified screen-printed electrodes, as already pointed out above, but also to achieve a stable PB layer in terms of operative and storage stability. 

In this section we will review briefly some of the recent applications of the GMS wave function. A previous review [45] covers most of the early applications of the GMS wave function. Our main goal is to illustrate some of the new ideas presented in the last section, using the most recent applications and some earlier but not unpublished material. 

In this chapter, we will describe how computers store and process chemical structures. Our main goal will be to provide the reader with enough information to be able to choose from the variety of available chemical formats and implement the right methods for online publication of his or her data. 

Our main goal is to develop techniques for solving problems in process design. Process design generally proceeds in the following stages ... 

Note that there is no global minimum of the misfit functional if the solution of the original inverse problem (5.1) is nonunique. We know also that in this case we have to apply regularization theory to solve the ill-posed inverse problem. In this section, however, we will assume that misfit functional (5.2) has a global minimum, so there is only one point at which ( (m) assumes its least value. Our main goal will be to find this point. 

Our main goal of this book is to provide a framework for companies to adopt sustainable business practices to demonstrate how businesses can translate sustainability strategies into action. Our focus is how to operationalize sustainability, and we seek to be relevant to not only managers in industry, but also to future managers in business and engineering educational programs. 

In the first chapter, our main goals are (1) to begin to get an idea of what chemistry is about and the ways in which chemists view and describe the material world and (2) to acquire some skills that are useful and necessary in the understanding of chemistry, its contribution to science and engineering, and its role in our daily lives. 

Our main goal is, of course, to solve the one-electron Kohn-Sham equations, as discussed in Chapter 2 ... 

Our main goal in this chapter is indeed to cormect the experimental signals (e for absorption and Ae for MCD) with the theoretical intrinsic properties of the molecules, transition moments for absorption and, additionally, magnetic moments for MCD. These contain in fact the matrix element in the transition operators = m (electric dipole) and 0 = /A, (magnetic dipole) and the Zeeman operator They are described by quantities like the dipole strength (D) or oscillator strength (/) for absorption and in the famous di, 58o and Cq parameters for MCD. 

Our main goal is that of calculating the properties of a given system consisting of M nuclei and N electrons. In principle, this can be achieved by solving the Schrodinger equation. In Hartree atomic units (me = e = 4 = h = 1) this equation is in the static, time-independent case... 

This is the microscopic world of the chemist—a world of molecules and atoms. This is the world we will explore in this book. One of our main goals is to connect the macroscopic world in which you live to the microscopic world that makes it all work. We think you will enjoy the trip ... 

The following sections review a selection of characteristic recent applications of ab initio methods to the spectroscopy of ionic impurities. Our main goal is to illustrate the strengths and limitations of existing approaches to treat electron correlation and spin-orbit effects, and we will also emphasise the importance of crystal effects. 

Our main goal is to help you learn to become a truly creative problem solver. Our world badly needs people who can "think outside the box." Our focus is to help you learn to think like a chemist. Why would you want to do that Chemists are great problem solvers. They use logic, trial and error, and intuition—along with lots of patience—to work through complex problems. Chemists make mistakes, as we all do in our lives. The important thing that a chemist does is to learn from the mistakes and to try again. This "can do" attitude is useful in all careers.
