Fig. 16.3 Literature network of 26 genes shared in mice, which were immunized with diphtheria toxoid or tetanus toxoid and different adjuvants (5). The 26 shared genes were submitted to the PubGene software (version 2.6) together with the key word immune response. The gene names were translated into primary symbols by the software. These primary symbols formed a literature network with a functional relationship to immune response, confirming their role in immune response after vaccination. The number of cocitations ranged from 1 to 5198...

The primary symbols used for most analytical trees have been used in the MORT event tree as well. These include the rectangle (primary or top event, and secondary, contributory or main events), the diamond (undeveloped event), the circle (basic event), the and gate, the or gate, the oval (conditional or constraint symbol), and the triangle (transfer gate or symbol). In addition to these symbols, the MORT...

Bromide ion forms a bond to the primary carbon by pushing off a water molecule This step IS bimolecular because it involves both bromide and heptyloxonium ion Step 2 IS slower than the proton transfer m step 1 so it is rate determining Using Ingold s ter mmology we classify nucleophilic substitutions that have a bimolecular rate determining step by the mechanistic symbol Sn2...

Under the primary event symbols, the circle represents a component failure for which a description and failure-on-demand or failure frequency data is provided. 

FIGURE 5.8 Two structural motifs that arrange the primary structure of proteins into a higher level of organization predominate in proteins the a-helix and the /3-pleated strand. Atomic representations of these secondary structures are shown here, along with the symbols used by structural chemists to represent them the flat, helical ribbon for the a-helix and the flat, wide arrow for /3-structures. Both of these structures owe their stability to the formation of hydrogen bonds between N—H and 0=C functions along the polypeptide backbone (see Chapter 6).

The key message is that aspects of symbolic representation that are familiar and taken for granted by experts (i.e. chemists, science teachers etc.) may not always be well understood by students. This has been found even at university level (Marais Jordaan, 2000). A primary aim of this chapter is to make explicit some of this complexity and abstraction, to remind experts how apparently straightforward aspects of our symbolic representations can actually present a significant demand on learners who lack ... 

In the simple case of electrostatic attraction alone, electrolyte ions can approach to a distance given by their primary solvation sheaths, where a monomolecular solvent layer remains between the electrode and the solvated ions. The plane through the centres of the ions at maximum approach under the influence of electrostatic forces is called the outer Helmholtz plane and the solution region between the outer Helmholtz plane and the electrode surface is called the Helmholtz or compact layer. Quantities related to the outer Helmholtz plane are mostly denoted by symbols with the subscript 2. 

The primary quantities M, L, T are sufficient to describe most problems in mechanics. In thermodynamics and other thermal applications it is customary to add an absolute temperature. In this case the dimension of the Boltzmann constant, for example, is given by [A] = ML2T 20 l, where the symbol 9 is used here for the dimension of the absolute or thermodynamic temperature. 

Figure 7.7 Peptide spot color intensity as a function of doubling dilutions of primary (PR) antibody. PR peptides and PR+ tissue sections were both placed on the same slides and stained with various dilutions of the PR mAb. Color intensity of the peptide spots (square symbols) or tumor cells (triangle symbols) was measured and plotted on the y-axis. The figure shows a linear decline in intensity with decreasing antibody concentrations for both the peptide spots and the tissue sections. Tissue color intensity is measured as optical density on a 0-2 scale. Peptide spot color is measured as mean pixel intensity on a 1-256 scale. Copied with permission from Sompuram et al.6...

Polymerisations of undiluted, bulk monomer are rare except for those initiated by ionising radiations and they require a special treatment which will be given later. The most common situation is to have the propagating ions in a mixture of monomer and solvent, and as the solvation by the solvent is ubiquitous and may dominate over that by other components of the reaction mixture, mainly because of the mass-action effect, it will not be noted by any special symbol, except in a few instances. This means that we adopt the convention that the symbol Pn+ denotes a growing cation solvated mainly by the solvent correspondingly kp+ denotes the propagation constant of this species, subject to the proviso at the end of Section 2.3. Its relative abundance depends upon the abundance of the various other species in which the role of the solvent as the primary solvator has been taken over by any or all of the anion or the monomer or the polymer. The extent to which this happens depends on the ionic strength (essentially the concentration of the ions), and the polarity of the solvent, the monomer and the polymer, and their concentrations. 

The primary differences, then, between development of expert systems and more traditional software engineering are found in steps one and two, above. First, the problems chosen will involve symbolic reasoning, and will require the transfer of expertise from experts to a knowledge base. Second, rapid prototyping, the "try it and see how it works, then fix it or throw it away" approach will play an important role in system development. 

Rule 6 orients the molecule, collecting the vertices and edges in the proper order. To accomplish this, all root nodes are collected. Starting from each root, the primary chain of the notation is chosen using the longest path of notation symbols, breaking any tie by choosing the chain which ends in the latest notation symbol (Rule 2).
