P-element behavior

The excision assay was tested also in two other Drosophila species to determine the functionality of the assay in other insects. Excision occurred in both D. simulans and D. grirashawii at nearly the same rate as observed in D. melanogaster (Table 1). The transposition activity of the P-element in the embryos of these species demonstrates that the excision assay can be employed as a reliable indicator of P-element behavior in other insects. 

All elements except those in the p block are metals. Group 15, however, is part of the p block, within which elements display all forms of elemental behavior. To decide the classifications of these elements, we must examine this group relative to the diagonal arrangement of the metalloids ... 

The proposed model consists of a biphasic mechanical description of the tissue engineered construct. The resulting fluid velocity and displacement fields are used for evaluating solute transport. Solute concentrations determine biosynthetic behavior. A finite deformation biphasic displacement-velocity-pressure (u-v-p) formulation is implemented [12, 7], Compared to the more standard u-p element the mixed treatment of the Darcy problem enables an increased accuracy for the fluid velocity field which is of primary interest here. The system to be solved increases however considerably and for multidimensional flow the use of either stabilized methods or Raviart-Thomas type elements is required [15, 10]. To model solute transport the input features of a standard convection-diffusion element for compressible flows are employed [20], For flexibility (non-linear) solute uptake is included using Strang operator splitting, decoupling the transport equations [9],...

This type of analysis provides useful clues as to the behavior of the intensities in Tables 3.13 and 3.14 as follows. Of particular relevance is the P element for each hydrogen atom which describes how much a stretch of the H atom along its bond axis will affect the molecular dipole moment in that same direction. The sharp increase in intensity of the HF stretch upon H-bonding can thus be associated with a bigger increase in p that accompanies motion of the proton in the dimer, as compared to the monomer.

In a companion chapter (174) P.S. Salamakha describes in detail the various structure types that have been adopted by the rare-earth-germanium ternary intermetallic compounds. The correlations, crystal chemistry and interrelationships of the 135 structure types are discussed. Two distinct behaviors are found depending on the nature of the outer bonding electrons the p elements behave differently from the s and d elements, which behave similarly. When the third component is a p element the compounds maintain the same R to Ge ratio as found in the binary R cGey phases, e.g. RGc2 and RsGes, where R is a rare earth metal. As one might expect many of the compounds have variable composition at a constant R content. For the s and d metals the compounds tend to fall on lines... 

The Zintl-Klemm concept evolved from the seminal ideas of E. ZintI that explained the structural behavior of main-group (s-p) binary intermetaUics in terms of the presence of both ionic and covalent parts in their bonding description [31, 37]. Instead of using Hume-Rother/s idea of a valence electron concentration, ZintI proposed an electron transfer from the electropositive to the electronegative partner (ionic part) and related the anionic substructure to known isoelectronic elemental structures (covalent part), e.g., TK in NaTl is isoelectro-nic with C, Si and Ge, and consequenUy a diamond substructure is formed. ZintI hypothesized that the structures of this class of intermetallics would be salt-like [16b, 31 f, 37e]. 

Similar electron accessibility generates similar chemical behavior. For example, iodine has many more electrons than chlorine, but these two elements display similar chemical behavior, as reflected by their placement in the same group of the periodic table. This is because the chemistry of chlorine and iodine is determined by the number of electrons in their largest and least stable occupied orbitals 3 S and 3 p for chlorine and 5 S and 5 p for iodine. Each of these elements has seven accessible electrons, and this accounts for the chemical similarities.
