The special stability of the helix with three repeat units per turn for isotactic vinyl polymers in which the substituent is not too large was discussed in connection with Fig. 1.10a. Rodriguez has suggested a simple paper model which is also helpful in illustrating this structure. The following steps summarize this method additional details are available in this readily accessible reference.

In connection with practical situations where CO oxidation is important, we must also consider the perennial question of how to connect the low pressure results onto those at high pressure. Qualitatively this has been done for the CO oxidation reaction but it would still be worthwhile to attempt a numerical prediction of high pressure results based on low-pressure rate parameters. A very nice paper modeling steady-state CO oxidation data over a supported Pt catalyst at CO and O2 pressures of several torr has very recently appeared (.25). Extension of this work to other systems in warranted and, even though unresolved questions continue to exist, every indication is that the high and low pressure data can be reliably modeled with the same rate parameters if no adsorption - desorption equilibria are assumed. 

You then bring out a paper model of an unfolded hypercube. Sally, we can cut a hypercube and flatten it to the third dimension in the same way we flattened a cube by unfolding it into the second dimension. In the case of the hypercube, the faces are really cubes (Fig. 4.7). 

Simple tetrahedral or octahedral models are useful in connection with basic structural questions (as, for example, the first time you try to convince yourself that the two enantiomers of CHFCIBr or of [Co(en)3]+3 are really nonsuperimposable). If stick models are rot available, such simple models can be constructed in a few minutes from paper. In addition, models having bond angles not normally found in ball-and-stick kits—for example, the icosahedral boranes and carboranes—can also be reudily constructed from paper. Paper models are especially useful when large numbers of models are necessary as, for example, in constructing models of the iso-end heteropolyanions. 

The molecule is depicted with a remarkably flat face shaped by a coronene subunit facing the viewer (Fig. 3A), in a view perpendicular to the synutKtry plaiK (Fig. 3B), and in a view onto one of two identical caps (Fig. 3C). If a paper model of C2 -C7a is put on its flat coronene base, it resembles a helmet or a nude s shell. 

The second section contains papers modelling cratonic evolution and accretion. Sleep et al. present numerical models of cratonic roots in normal mantle flow and in the presence of plumes. Cratons may suffer lateral erosion rather thinning. Bleeker reviews the tectonic evolution of Archaean granite-greenstone terrains. Then, taking... 

Using circles of colored paper to represent protons, neutrons, and electrons, build paper models of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms. 

Oberlin and coworkers [42, 90] (Fig. 2.7c) used a crumpled sheets of paper model to describe the nanotexture of porous carbons. Figure 2.19 depicts this model and includes an enlarged sketch of pores in sucrose-based carbons [91]. In Fig. 2.19a, each zone of molecular orientation is represented by a shaded area inside of which each individual stack is shown either as a rectangular unit or as two parallel segments depending on whether they are observed in perspective... 

Carbon-2 is sp hybridized. If the p orbitals making the pi bond between C-1 and C-2 are in the plane of the paper (putting the hydrogens in front of and behind the paper), then the other p orbital on C-2 must be perpendicular to the plane of the paper, making the pi bond between C-2 and C-3 perpendicular to the paper. This necessarily places the hydrogens on C-3 in the plane of the paper. (Models will surely help.)... 

The Defense Priority Model (DPM) is designed to provide an estimate of the relative potential risk to human health and the environment from sites containing hazardous materials. The DPM evolved from a model called the Hazard Assessment Risk Model (HARM) developed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory from 1984-1986 for the Air Force. The automation of DPM was done first in KES(r) and then in Arity Prolog(r) for use on an IBM-PC/AT class machine. The computerized model has already become more sophisticated than the paper model and as development continues, it is possible to take advantage of additional expert system features. This paper is designed as a case study of DPM development and presents the reasons for the choice of expert system environment and its evolution, the current scope of the model, and planned additions that will increase the functionality of model in the future. The methodology used to evaluate this expert system is also described. 

Jernigan, Hatch, and Wilson (1988) studied the pharmacokinetics of tobramycin after intramuscular administration in cats. Bioavailability was estimated at 102.5% with maximal concentrations occurring within about an hour. Hence, tobramycin absorption appears rapid and complete. There are few papers modeling the intramuscular absorption of drugs. Swabb et al. (1983) modeled the intramuscular administration of aztreonam, another antibiotic, in humans and found that a simple first-order absorption was adequate to explain the rapid (time to maximal concentrations was 0.88 h) and complete (101% bioavailability) absorption. Similarly, Krishna et al. (2001) also found that first-order absorption was sufficient to model the pharmacokinetics of quinine after intramuscular administration. In both cases, the drugs were formulated in water. 

A paper model is readily constructed by the sequence of operations shown in Figure 3.27 - twisting a strip of paper through 180° before joining the ends. 

As revealed in the cited paper, model after optimization (Fig. 2.43) has structural sense and very well correlates with computed data. Employing the complementary approach, authors have generated the new set of crystallographic coordinates for each enkephalin. GIPAW coordinates are reasonable and reflect the geometries of real samples.
