Pattern in Nature

Requires relatively stable isotopic pattern in nature... 

If there were a flag that represented the science of chemistry, it would be the periodic table. The periodic table is a concise organizational chart of the elements. The periodic table not only summarizes important facts about the elements, but it also incorporates a theoretical framework for understanding the relationships between elements. The modern periodic table attests to human s search for order and patterns in nature. As such, the periodic table is a dynamic blueprint for the basic building blocks of our universe. This chapter examines the development of the modern periodic table and presents information on how the modem periodic table is organized. 

In 1981 Martin and Martin [47] showed that the distribution in organic molecules does not follow a statistical pattern, but it is discriminated by isotopic effects, measurable by NMR and IRMS, respectively. Meanwhile, the system-atics of patterns in natural plant products are being better and better...

HPLC-ICP-MS and CE-ICP-MS, are compared with the table values and theoretical results. 155Gd is the most highly abundant nuclide. Compared to the isotope pattern in natural samples more light gadolinium nuclides with a typical isotopic pattern were formed by the irradiation of with high energy protons. 

The nonionic template strategy based on hydrogen bonds and to a certain extent on n-n interactions has made catenanes and rotaxanes readily available. The molecular recognition and self-organization process which is responsible for the formation of intertwined and interlocked structures is founded upon the same weak interactions that govern many biological processes. Amide-based catenanes and rotaxanes can thus serve as valuable models for complex molecular recognition patterns in nature.

The progress of science in recent years, that is, primarily since the turn of the century, has unlocked vast new areas to human understanding, it has revealed novel orders of pattern in nature that not only went undetected and unsuspected by the science of an earlier day but also have necessitated almost the complete restructuring of the scientific worldview.

Natural waters are often in a highly dynamic state with regard to oxidation-reduction rather than in or near equilibrium. Most oxidation-reduction reactions have a tendency to be much slower than acid-base reactions, especially in the absence of suitable biochemical catalysis. Nonetheless, equilibrium diagrams can greatly aid attempts to understand the possible redox patterns in natural waters and in water technological systems. 

Publications in plant systematica sometimes are built according to the stereotypical pattern in natural sciences definition of the problem - material and methods - results of observations and/or experiments - discussion. In many cases, however, the results of the systematic research are presented differently, viz. as a survey of a part of the system of classification. The degree of elaboration of the survey and the scope of the research (geographically and taxonomical-ly) may differ widely. The diagram in fig. 5 gives a diagram of the different types of classifying publications.

Both sites exhibit large relative abundances of twenty-eight (C-28) and thirty (C-30) carbon atom sterols, suggesting a marine source. The C-27 and C-29 abundances do not reflect this expected marine source, however, confirming recent observations that sterol distribution patterns in nature are extremely complex. 

The marine stage of the Aral Sea was of short duration (late Holocene) and marked by a rather complicated pattern in natural processes. That is especially true in regard to wide fluctuations of the sea level, its salinity, environments, and type of sedimentation.
