Partial least-squares path modeling with latent variables (PLS), a newer, general method of handling regression problems, is finding wide apphcation in chemometrics. This method allows the relations between many blocks of data ie, data matrices, to be characterized (32—36). Linear and multiple regression techniques can be considered special cases of the PLS method. 

In a reactive transport model, the domain of interest is divided into nodal blocks, as shown in Figure 2.11. Fluid enters the domain across one boundary, reacts with the medium, and discharges at another boundary. In many cases, reaction occurs along fronts that migrate through the medium until they either traverse it or assume a steady-state position (Lichtner, 1988). As noted by Lichtner (1988), models of this nature predict that reactions occur in the same sequence in space and time as they do in simple reaction path models. The reactive transport models, however, predict how the positions of reaction fronts migrate through time, provided that reliable input is available about flow rates, the permeability and dispersivity of the medium, and reaction rate constants.

Before turning to specific content, I would like to take a moment to review briefly the logic of behavior genetic methods. This is most easily accomplished by showing how path models are used to represent the latent constructs underlying correlations and covariances. My examples all utilize correlations, however, the models are typically fit to co-variances.

This 3D lattice Hamiltonian with two traps can be elaborated further by adding filled lattice orbitals (3D bridge orbitals), which will then exhibit interference effects, and which could be computed by an extension of the Hopfield-Beratan method. Nevertheless the path counting given in Table 2 serves to illustrate the dramatic character of the difference between the single path model (Eq. 15) and the many path result (Eq. 14) in three dimensions.

Within the framework of this short introduction to essential methods it is not possible to present all the basic details of path analysis. The interested reader will find details in the books of KMENTA [1971], MARDIA et al. [1979], or JOHNSON and WICHERN [1982]. GELADI [1988] mentioned early applications of PLS (see Section 5.7.2) as a path modeling device. The principle and the advantages are indicated in the introduction to the Section 5.7.

As already mentioned, also for the other oxygenated Cl compounds, i.e. formaldehyde [118, 138-147] and methanol [148-154], as well as for larger organic molecules, dynamic instabilities are reported. Many of them are compiled in Ref. [154], for formaldehyde oxidation on Rh and Pt [147] and methanol oxidation on Pt [155] the oscillations could be clearly identified as HN-NDR type oscillations. However, in view of the number of reaction steps involved in these oxidation reactions and of the possible complexity of the interaction of the supporting electrolyte with the dynamics even in the much simpler formic acid oxidation, it is not astonishing that any quantitative considerations should still be missing. There are some attempts to qualitatively explain the observed phenomena with reaction mechanisms that go beyond the simple dual-path model described above. However, at the time being, they are quite speculative. Therefore I shall not discuss them in more detail in this article. A summary of these works can be found in [156],...

The vertical downflow paths and the lateral flow zone take the shape of the letter L, hence the name zone of L-shape through-flow paths, which differs from the U-shape flow paths model discussed in section 2.15. 

Fig. 2.18 A cross-section of a much-quoted model (following Freeze and Cherry, 1979, who cited Hubbert, 1940). The surface is described as undulating in a mode that can be expressed by a simple mathematical equation, and the water table is assumed to follow topography in a fixed mode. The stippled section describes a water system from a low-order divide to a nearby low-order valley the thick lines mark there impermeable planes that are an intrinsic part of the U-shape flow paths model, enlarged in Fig. 2.19. The cross-section emphasizes topographic undulations and disregards the location of the terminal base of drainage and the location of the main water divide.

The early U-shape flow paths models assumed homogeneous permeable rocks for the entire system, but this restriction was later removed by the argument that all rocks are permeable to some degree. Thus the road was paved to apply the U-shape model to entire basins.

Fig. 2.19 A more detailed cross-section of the U-shape model area shown in Fig. 2.18 (condensing several figures of Toth, 1963, 1995). Groundwater flow paths deduced by the U-shape flow paths model are marked with arrows denoting flow directions. Three flow zones have been concluded local, intermediate, and regional, with alternating points of discharge (e.g., points A, B, D, F) and points of recharge (points C, E, G, H). The symmetry of the suggested flow lines, centered in the modeled box, reveals that they are a direct outcome of the assumption of the three impermeable flow planes.

In the saturated zone the chloride concentration stays constant unless mixing of different water types occurs. A chloride concentration that decreases along a suggested groundwater flow direction indicates the suggested flow path model is not valid, as there is no process that can reduce... 

Further reduction of the constrained reaction path model is possible. Here we adopt a system-bath model in which the reaction path coordinate defines the system and all other coordinates constitute the bath. The use of this representation permits the elimination of the bath coordinates, which then increases the efficiency of calculation of the motion along the reaction coordinate. In particular. Miller showed that a canonical transformation of the reaction path Hamiltonian T + V) yields [38]...

The curves refer to the potential along ininiinuin cnergt- path of the triplet reaction for slightly bent O-H-H geometries in (a) diabatic and (b) adiabatic representation. Note that idthough there are only three diabats, the adiabats are derived from the four state basis defined in the text.
