Dynamic models for ionic lattices recognize explicitly the force constants between ions and their polarization. In shell models, the ions are represented as a shell and a core, coupled by a spring (see Refs. 57-59), and parameters are evaluated by matching bulk elastic and dielectric properties. Application of these models to the surface region has allowed calculation of surface vibrational modes [60] and LEED patterns [61-63] (see Section VIII-2). 

Greater charge dispersal in the transition state may cause a greater rate of ethoxy-dechlorination for nitrohalobenzenes (38 and 39) than for chloropyridines (40 and 41) as discussed in Sections II,B, l,a and II, E, 2, c. The kinetic parameters are given in Table VIII, lines 2 and 5, and in Table II, lines 1 and 4. 

The major process parameters at selected periods in the four experiments are listed in Tables II, IV, VII, and VIII. Carbon recoveries ranged from 63 to 91%. Most of the losses occurred in connection with the recycle compressor system, and they decreased correspondingly the volume of product gas metered. Such losses, however, did not affect significantly the incoming gas to the main reactor or reactor performance. 

VIII. Explosive Characteristics. Picric Acid is generally considered to be a relatively insensi tive but brisant expl. On a qualitative sensitivity scale of comparing common expls, PA would be judged to be more sensitive than TNT but appreciably less sensitive than Tetryl. Its power and brisance are also similar to those of TNT (112% TNT in the Ballistic Mortar 101% of TNT in the Trauzl Block and 107% in the plate dent test (Ref 48). In this section we will consider the steady detonation parameters. initiation characteristics and potential hazards of PA... 

With the particular choice of the 8 s used in the calculation the observed order unsubstituted benzene > para > ortho > meta is not obtained, but agreement can be achieved by a suitable readjustment of the parameter values. If, with 8x held fixed and equal to 4, the charges at the different positions are assumed to be linearly dependent upon Si and 3, (as is the case when these quantities are sufficiently small), the results of Table VIII can be expressed as... 

Tables IV and V contain appropriate balance equations for nonisothermal free-radical polymerizations and copolymerizations, which are seen to conform to equation 2k. Following the procedure outlined above, we obtain the CT s for homopolymerizations listed in Table VI. Corresponding CT s for copolymerizations can be. obtained in a similar way, and indeed the first and fourth listed in Table VII were. The remaining ones, however, were derived via an alternate route based upon the definitions in Table VI labeled "equivalent" together with approximate forms for pj, which were necessitated by application of the Semenov-type runaway analysis to copolymerizations, and which will subsequently be described. Some useful dimensionless parameters defined in terms of these CT s appear in Tables VIII, IX and X.

The three F-nmr shielding sets (nos. 15, 16, 17) are fitted with uniquely better precision by the 0% scale. The SD for each of these sets is smaller by factors of two to three times than that achieved with any other parameters (Table VIII). This result is consistent with the fact that these sets have much larger X values (1.5 to 4.2) than do the reaction series (.7 to 1.0) and... 

The notion was also tested that the ir data for benzenes should be used to generate parameters which would be more suitable to 14 reactions of Table VIII than the values obtained from the 17 basis sets (Table V). Such a procedure, however, was found to give poorer fits than that achieved by the Table V parameter set. This result suggests again the incursion of the experimental difficulties in the ir data noted above. It is clear, however, that the independent test provided by the ir results does offer further support for a unique scale. 

From the and p values of Tables II, VI, and VIII, data for additional substituents may be used to obtain the various Or parameters. A number of secondary substituent parameters so derived are summarized in Table XXVI. The Or values are rounded values obtained from the indicated data. The oj parameters are based upon m-FC6H4X F-nmr shifts. The results in Table II are untested, of course, and should be used with due caution. 

The HMR/fractionatlon approach gives very good results When applied to ethylene-propylene copolymer fractions reported by Abls, et. al. (19) These authors extracted sample 5 (In Table VII) with hexane to get soluble and Insoluble fractions (5a and 5b), and with ether to get soluble and insoluble fractions (5c and 5d). The hexane set (5a and 5b) and the ether set (5c and 5d) can be separately analyzed by the HIXCO.TRIADX program. The results are shown In Table VIII. In the 2-state (B/B) model, we have 4 parameters and 12 values to fit to HMR data of pairwise fractions. In the 3-state (B/B/B) model, we have 7 parameters and 12 values to fit. Thus, the use of pairwise fractions Is absolutely essential for 3-state analysis.

Table VIII records the Arrhenius parameters and the activity of four alloy films and the two pure metals the results are insufficient to provide a neat correlation with bulk electronic structure such as observed for CO oxidation over Pd-Au wires 129), but the familiar pattern is discernible. The rate of CO oxidation is approximately constant for Ag and Ag-rich films but decreases by a factor of 104 over pure Pd and a Pd-rich film.

R. Bezman and L. R. Faulkner 189> developed methods for defining a concise set of parameters which quantitatively describe the efficiencies of chemiluminescent electron-transfer reactions (see Section VIII. A.) by means of analysis of chemiluminescence decay curves. 

The gauche-conformation is the most stable for all betaines of the first group and open forms of compounds from the third group. Table VIII contains the most important geometric parameters of these betaines. 

Tables I, III, V, and VII give the kinetic mass loss rate constants. Tables II, IV, VI, and VIII present the activation parameters. In addition to the activation parameters, the rates were normalized to 300°C by the Arrhenius equation in order to eliminate any temperature effects. Table IX shows the char/residue (Mr), as measured at 550°C under N2.

The calculated reaction parameters with BP86//B3LYP methods at two higher temperatures (150 and 250 °C) are shown in Tables VI and VII, respectively. Further corrections for low H2 and olefin pressure/concen-tration and high alkane pressure/concentration (36,37) on BP86// B3LYP values are shown in Tables VIII and IX.

Besides the two most well-known cases, the local bifurcations of the saddle-node and Hopf type, biochemical systems may show a variety of transitions between qualitatively different dynamic behavior [13, 17, 293, 294, 297 301]. Transitions between different regimes, induced by variation of kinetic parameters, are usually depicted in a bifurcation diagram. Within the chemical literature, a substantial number of articles seek to identify the possible bifurcation of a chemical system. Two prominent frameworks are Chemical Reaction Network Theory (CRNT), developed mainly by M. Feinberg [79, 80], and Stoichiometric Network Analysis (SNA), developed by B. L. Clarke [81 83]. An analysis of the (local) bifurcations of metabolic networks, as determinants of the dynamic behavior of metabolic states, constitutes the main topic of Section VIII. In addition to the scenarios discussed above, more complicated quasiperiodic or chaotic dynamics is sometimes reported for models of metabolic pathways [302 304]. However, apart from few special cases, the possible relevance of such complicated dynamics is, at best, unclear. Quite on the contrary, at least for central metabolism, we observe a striking absence of complicated dynamic phenomena. To what extent this might be an inherent feature of (bio)chemical systems, or brought about by evolutionary adaption, will be briefly discussed in Section IX. 

Finally, and more profoundly, not all properties require explicit knowledge of the functional form of the rate equations. In particular, many network properties, such as control coefficients or the Jacobian matrix, only depend on the elasticities. As all rate equations discussed above yield, by definition, the assigned elasticities, a discussion which functional form is a better approximation is not necessary. In Section VIII we propose to use (variants of) the elasticities as bona fide parameters, without going the loop way via explicit auxiliary functions.
