Paired randomized

Anionic copolymerization of cyclic monomers occurs only between similar monomer pairs. Random copolymers are not formed between vinyl monomers and epoxides or lactones198 because the propagating species are very different. Thus, the success of the copolymerization of cyclic disulfide and nitropropylene was an exceptional case...

Due to the rapid decrease in the process probability with increase of the distance between the reagents, it should be expected that reaction (13) will result in electron transfer primarily to the particle A which is nearest to the excited donor particle D. In this case, the condition n < N is satisfied for reaction (13), where n is the concentration of the particles D and N is that of the particles A, and with the random initial distribution of the particles, A, the distribution function over the distances in the pairs D A formed, will have the same form [see Chap. 4, eqn. (13)] as with the non-paired random distribution under the conditions when n IV. In such a situation the kinetics of backward recombination of the particles in the pairs D A [reaction (12)] will be described by eqn. (24) of Chap.4 which coincides with eqn. (35) of Chap. 4 for electron tunneling reactions under a non-paired random distribution of the acceptor particles. Therefore, in the case of the pairwise recombination via electron tunneling considered here, the same methods of determining the parameters ve and ae can be applied as those described in the previous section for the case of the non-pair distribution. However, examples of the reliable determination of the parameters ve and ae for the case of the pairwise recombination using this method are still unknown to us. 

The projection data acquired in the form of sinograms are affected by a number of factors, namely variations in detector efficiencies between detector pairs, random coincidences, scattered coincidences, photon attenuation, dead time, and radial elongation. Each of these factors contributes to the sinogram to a varying degree depending on the 2D or 3D acquisition and needs to be corrected for prior to image reconstruction. These factors and their correction methods are described below. 

Step 3 Parents V[, V3. .. generated in Step 2 are paired randomly. With a random number X generated from the open interval (0, 1) crossover each pair of parents (Vj, Vj) according to the following equation. The crossover operators are shown in Table 4.1. This process generates two offspring Xand Y. 

Pooling was one of the many possibilities imagined in early work, but its importance for MALDI requires more than excited neighbor pairs randomly created by the laser. These are not sufficiently numerous except at very high intensities." However, excitations can be mobile in the solid state, greatly increasing their interaction probability. " Mobile excitations can be treated as pseudo-particles and are denoted excitons. ... 

The measure of attractancy used was very crude and, in order to begin to clarify the species significance of these results, we examined the responsesof a ferret, Mustela furo, to these substances. Odorants were presented to a male ferret in pairs (randomized position and order during 60 (lO minute) trials. Aliquots (1 ml) of each odorant were presented on two blocks covered with filter paper. Trials were continued until ten replicates of each of the six binary combinations of the four odorants had been performed. Duration and frequency of odorcint investigation were noted.

An individual radical from the RP may encounter a radical from a different RP to fomi what are known as random RPs or F pairs. F pairs which happen to be in the singlet state have a high probability of recombining, so the remaining F pairs will be in the triplet state. Consequently, the initial condition for F pairs is the triplet state in nearly all cases. 

The third and final force acting between any pair of beads is a random force ... 

Qj is a random number with zero mean and unit variance, chosen independently for each pair of particles and at each time step in the integration. 

Both the dissipative force and the random force act along the line joining the pair of beads and also conserve linear and angular momentum. The model thus has two unknown functions vP rij) and w Yij) and two unknown constants 7 and a. In fact, only one of the two weight functions can be chosen arbitrarily as they are related [Espanol and Warren 1995]. Moreover, the temperature of the system relates the two constants ...

One way to describe the conformation of a molecule other than by Cartesian or intern coordinates is in terms of the distances between all pairs of atoms. There are N(N - )/ interatomic distances in a molecule, which are most conveniently represented using a N X N S5munetric matrix. In such a matrix, the elements (i, j) and (j, i) contain the distant between atoms i and and the diagonal elements are all zero. Distance geometry explort conformational space by randomly generating many distance matrices, which are the converted into conformations in Cartesian space. The crucial feature about distance geometi (and the reason why it works) is that it is not possible to arbitrarily assign values to ti... 

Two point defects may aggregate to give a defect pair (such as when the two vacanc that constitute a Schottky defect come from neighbouring sites). Ousters of defects ( also form. These defect clusters may ultimately give rise to a new periodic structure oi an extended defect such as a dislocation. Increasing disorder may alternatively give j to a random, amorphous solid. As the properties of a material may be dramatically alte by the presence of defects it is obviously of great interest to be able to imderstand th relationships and ultimately predict them. However, we will restrict our discussion small concentrations of defects. 

From the geometry of this triangular display, it follows immediately-if one overlooks the exceptions—that the more widely separated a pair of comonomers are in Fig. 7.2, the greater is their tendency toward alternation. Conversely the closer they are together, the greater their tendency toward randomness We recognize a parallel here to the notion that widely separated elements in the periodic table will produce more polar bonds than those which are closei together and vice versa.
