The small parameter A,-1 in this perturbation scheme represents the ratio between the time scales of two subsystems h n, ,) and h(p,x), so an intuitive interpretation for the estimate given in Eq. (4) is rather easy. If the time scale of vibrational degrees of freedom is much faster than that of translational degrees of freedom, then the energy transfer between two subsystems hardly occurs. As X oo, the freezing of energies of subsystems is achieved, which is a sort of the adiabatic limit. 

Thus, the even orders of an Zp expansion, as included in the unitary convolution approximation (UCA), dominate the non-perturbative efifects. The present UCA results are plotted as a solid curve. This curve lies close to the average of the AO results for particles and antiparticles. Hence, although the present UCA does not include sign-of-charge efifects it perfectly describes the majority of the energy transfer processes (dominated by ionization) of fast heavy particles at small impact parameters. 

The AO results may also be used for benchmark tests of simpler models. In this context we have also checked a simple non-perturbative model, the UCA. This model includes the main features of fast heavy-ion stopping, as is shown by comparison with large-scale AO results for the impact-parameter dependent electronic energy transfer. The computation of the energy loss within the UCA is much simpler and by many orders of magnitude faster than the full numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation.

A quantitative theoretical treatment was developed by Forster [39], who applied time-dependent perturbation theory to dipole-dipole interactions. The following is a simplified account. The probability of resonance energy-transfer from D to A at a distance R may be represented by a first-order rate parameter et (often, but inaccurately, called a rate constant), which is proportional to R and to the integral J representing the spectral overlap between the emission spectrum of the donor and the absorption spectrum of the acceptor. Forster s expression is ... 

Polymers are not homogeneous in a microscopic scale and a number of perturbed states for a dye molecule are expected. As a matter of fact, non-exponential decay of luminescence in polymer systems is a common phenomenon. For some reaction processes (e.g, excimer and exciplex formation), one tries to fit the decay curve to sums of two or three exponential terms, since this kind of functional form is predicted by kinetic models. Here one has to worry about the uniqueness of the fit and the reliability of the parameters. Other processes can not be analyzed in this way. Examples include transient effects in diffusion-controlled processes, energy transfer in rigid matrices, and processes which occur in a distribution of different environments, each with its own characteristic rate. This third example is quite common when solvent relaxation about polar excited states occurs on the same time scale as emission from those states. Careful measurement of time-resolved fluorescence spectra is an approach to this problem. These problems and many others are treated in detail in recent books (9,11), including various aspects of data analysis. 

This factorization of the rate of the elementary process (Eq. 1) leads (with a few approximations) to the compartmentalization of the experimental parameters in the following way the dependence of the rate upon reaction exo-thermicity and upon environmental polarity controls and is reflected in the activation energy and the temperature dependence, whereas the dependence of the rate upon distance, orientation, and electronic interactions between the donor and the acceptor controls and is reflected in Kel- We refer to this eleetronie interaction energy as A rather than the common matrix element symbol H f, since we require that A include contributions from high-order perturbations and in particular superexchange processes. Experimentally, the y-intereept of the Arrhenius plot of the eleetron transfer rate yields the prefactor [KelAcxp)- - AS /kg)], and hence the true activation entropy must be known in order to extract Kel- An interesting example of the extraction of the temperature independent prefaetor has been presented in Isied s polyproline work [35]. 

In order for a process to be controllable by machine, it must represented by a mathematical model. Ideally, each element of a dynamic process, for example, a reflux drum or an individual tray of a fractionator, is represented by differential equations based on material and energy balances, transfer rates, stage efficiencies, phase equilibrium relations, etc., as well as the parameters of sensing devices, control valves, and control instruments. The process as a whole then is equivalent to a system of ordinary and partial differential equations involving certain independent and dependent variables. When the values of the independent variables are specified or measured, corresponding values of the others are found by computation, and the information is transmitted to the control instruments. For example, if the temperature, composition, and flow rate of the feed to a fractionator are perturbed, the computer will determine the other flows and the heat balance required to maintain constant overhead purity. Economic factors also can be incorporated in process models then the computer can be made to optimize the operation continually. 

To finalize the development of the aqueous CO2 force field parameters, the C02 model was used in free energy perturbation Monte Carlo (FEP/MC) simulations to determine the solubility of C02 in water. The solubility of C02 in water is calculated as a function of temperature in the development process to maintain transferability of the C02 model to different simulation techniques and to quantify the robustness of the technique used in the solubility calculations. It is also noted that the calculated solubility is based upon the change in the Gibbs energy of the system and that parameter development must account for the entropy/enthalpy balance that contributes to the overall structure of the solute and solvent over the temperature range being modeled [17]. 

The delocalizability parameter is based on a perturbational MO treatment of a partial electron delocalization between two molecules when they approach each other (Fukui, 1970). More precisely, it characterizes the site-specific energy stabilization due to a fractional electron transfer to or from a reagent. Dependent on the donor or acceptor capability of the molecule of interest, the occupied or unoccupied MO energies and wavefunction contributions at the reaction site are considered.
