The recent book by Young [91Y02], Phase Diagrams of the Elements, presents an authoritative and comprehensive account of the influence of pressure on polymorphic and solid-liquid transitions. Both theoretical and experimental work are succinctly summarized. 

The determination of precise physical properties for elemental boron is bedevilled by the twin difficulties of complex polymorphism and contamination by irremovable impurities. Boron is an extremely hard refractory solid of high mp, low density and very low electrical conductivity. Crystalline forms are dark red in transmitted light and powdered forms are black. The most stable ()3-rhombohedral) modification has mp 2092°C (exceeded only by C among the non-metals), bp 4000°C, d 2.35 gcm (a-rhombohedral form 2.45gcm ), A77sublimation 570kJ per mol of B, electrical conductivity at room temperature 1.5 x 10 ohm cm- . 

Chemical development Proof of structure and configuration are required as part of the information on chemical development. The methods used at batch release should be validated to guarantee the identity and purity of the substance. It should be established whether a drug produced as a racemate is a true racemate or a conglomerate by investigating physical parameters such as melting point, solubility and crystal properties. The physicochemical properties of the drug substance should be characterized, e.g. crystallinity, polymorphism and rate of dissolution. 

Present in the next sections are the LDA results for equilibrium structure, pressure-induced transitions and electronic properties of various polymorphs, and the comparative analysis of the results for rutile and anatase that were obtained using LDA and GGA forms of the exchange-correlation potential.

There are only very few genes which do not carry any polymorphisms. And there exists even a significant number of polymorphic genes that are not expressed at all in part of the population due to genetic polymorphisms. Table 1 summarizes a few selected polymorphisms with their functional and medical impact.

Examples of a polymorphism include single nucleotide substitutions, insertions and deletions of nucleotides, and repetitive sequences. While most polymorphisms are harmless and part of normal human genetic variations, studies have established links between certain gene polymorphisms and metabolic alterations or human diseases.

The key of the promotional action is the effect of electropositive and electronegative promoters on the chemisorptive bond of the reactants, intermediates and, sometimes, products of catalytic reactions. Despite the polymorphic and frequently complex nature of this effect, there are two simple rules always obeyed which can guide us in the phenomenological survey which follows in this chapter.
