Parametric lists

In contrast to a list type (see Lists on page 27), the domain of a parametric list type is a generic parameter.

An alternating "bi-parametric" listing of atoms and bonds, rather than merely naming atoms and then "addending" bonds (as an afterthought). 

In case of a generic list type, PARAMETRIC TYPE is a parametric list type. 

Table I-l lists the various theoretical treatments published on the thiazole molecule for each the type of approximation, the mode of parametrization. and, eventually, the geometry employed are given net charges and bond orders for various theoretical calculations are listed in Tables 1-2 and 1-3.

Step 1 of the parametrization process is the selection of the appropriate model compounds. In the case of small molecules, such as compounds of pharmaceutical interest, the model compound may be the desired molecule itself. In other cases it is desirable to select several small model compounds that can then be connected to create the final, desired molecule. Model compounds should be selected for which adequate experimental data exist, as listed in Table 1. Since in almost all cases QM data can be substimted when experimental data are absent (see comments on the use of QM data, above), the model compounds should be of a size that is accessible to QM calculations using a level of theory no lower than HE/6-31G. This ensures that geometries, vibrational spectra, conformational energetics, and model compound-water interaction energies can all be performed at a level of theory such that the data obtained are of high enough quality to accurately replace and... 

A second reason why AI is of value to scientists is that it offers powerful tools to cope with complexity. In favorable circumstances, the solutions to problems can be expressed by rules or by a well-defined, possibly trivial, model. If we want to know whether a compound contains a carbonyl group, we could record its infrared spectrum and check for a peak near 1760 cm1. The spectrum, paired with the rule that ketones generally show an absorption in this region, is all that we need. But other correlations are more difficult to express by rules or parametrically. What makes a good wine We may (or may not) be able to recognize a superior wine by its taste, but would have considerable difficulty in determining whether a wine is good, or even if it is palatable, if all we had to go on was a list of the chemicals of which it is comprised. 

Inter- and intramolecular forces (imf) are of vital importance in the quantitative description of structural effects on bioactivities and chemical properties. They can make a significant contribution to chemical reactivities and some physical properties as well. Types of intermolecular forces and their present parametrization are listed in Table 7. 

Set up the Primary Sweep to sweep l/Z/I from 0 V to 5 V in 0.001 V steps as shown in the left dialog box below. Set up the Parametric Sweep to use the value list as shown in the right dialog box ... 

The parameter we have defined (RF val) is a Global parameter. The sweep settings are similar to the DC and AC Sweeps discussed previously. We would like specific values for the parameter, so we will use the value list. Logically, the parametric sweep is executed outside the AC Sweep. First, RF Val will be set to Ilf and then the AC Sweep will be performed. Next, RF val will be set to lOh and then the AC Sweep will be performed. Then, RF val will be set to lOOH, and so on.

In the 1930s Russian scientists at the University of Moscow and supporting agencies developed and tested parametric oscillator generators exhibiting COP > 1.0. The theory, results, pictures, and other material are presented in both the Russian and French literature, with many references cited in the particular translation in Ref. 96a. Apparently the work was never resurrected after World War II. Other pertinent references are listed in Ref. 96b. 

Short IR pulses can be generated in a number of ways. Typically, these are based on Roman scattering processes or nonlinear mixing schemes or the related optical parametric oscillator. Much more detail is given in the Stoutland reference listed. 

The parametric approach, which is not strictly needed for a single Gray-Scott reaction, works very well for an arbitrary number of parallel reactions and for continuous mixtures. Figure 16 shows a case of two parallel reactions for which an isola and a mushroom coexist. Because the notions of continuous mixtures and reactions will be treated in Chapter 8, G H and in the group of papers listed in the Index of Subjects in Publications under the heading Continuous mixtures, we can be very brief and start with the nondimensional equations. Let x be the index of the mixture whose species are /4(x). The steady-state concentration of the material with index in (x, x + dx) is V(x)dx, the feed concentration a(x)dx and the conversion U(x) = 1 - V/(x)/a(x), the last being defined only for values of x for which a(x) is not zero. B, the autocatalytic agent, forms itself as an undifferentiated product whose concentration is W. The rate of the first reaction, and hence p,(x), depends on the... 

For a material system with density and viscosity differences, the 5-parametric relevance list, eq. (5.1), has to be extended by the physical properties of the second mixing component, by the volume ratio of both phases, (p = V2/Vi, and - inevitably - by the weight difference, gAp, due to the prevailing density differences, to a 9-parametric dimensional space [15] ...

Solution of the coupled mass-transport and reaction problem for arbitrary chemical kinetic rate laws is possible only by numerical methods. The problem is greatly simplified by decoupling the time dependence of mass-transport from that of chemical kinetics the mass-transport solutions rapidly relax to a pseudo steady state in view of the small dimensions of the system (19). The gas-phase diffusion problem may be solved parametrically in terms of the net flux into the drop. In the case of first-order or pseudo-first-order chemical kinetics an analytical solution to the problem of coupled aqueous-phase diffusion and reaction is available (19). These solutions, together with the interfacial boundary condition, specify the concentration profile of the reagent gas. In turn the extent of departure of the reaction rate from that corresponding to saturation may be determined. Finally criteria have been developed (17,19) by which it may be ascertained whether or not there is appreciable (e.g., 10%) limitation to the rate of reaction as a consequence of the finite rate of mass transport. These criteria are listed in Table 1.
