The initial goal of the kinetic analysis is to express k as a function of [H ], pH-independent rate constants, and appropriate acid-base dissociation constants. Then numerical estimates of these constants are obtained. The theoretical pH-rate profile can now be calculated and compared with the experimental curve. A quantitative agreement indicates that the proposed rate equation is consistent with experiment. It is advisable to use other information (such as independently measured dissociation constants) to support the kinetic analysis. 

Section I of this book includes chapters on the principles and practice of PLC. After this introductory Chapter 1, Chapter 2 provides information on efforts undertaken to date in order to establish the theoretical foundations of PLC. With growing availability and popularity of modem computer-aided densitometers, separation results can be obtained in digital form as a series of concentration profiles that can be relatively easily assessed and processed. From these, relevant conclusions can be drawn in exactly the same manner as in automated column chromatographic techniques. Efforts undertaken to build a theoretical foundation of PLC largely consist of adaptation of known strategies (with their validity confirmed in preparative column liquid chromatography) to the working conditions of PLC systems. 

It is well known that the energy profiles of Compton scattered X-rays in solids provide a lot of important information about the electronic structures [1], The application of the Compton scattering method to high pressure has attracted a lot of attention since the extremely intense X-rays was obtained from a synchrotron radiation (SR) source. Lithium with three electrons per atom (one conduction electron and two core electrons) is the most elementary metal available for both theoretical and experimental studies. Until now there have been a lot of works not only at ambient pressure but also at high pressure because its electronic state is approximated by free electron model (FEM) [2, 3]. In the present work we report the result of the measurement of the Compton profile of Li at high pressure and pressure dependence of the Fermi momentum by using SR. 

The most information about a spontaneously formed interphase is obtained by atomistic simulation [52]. Such calculations give information about the density profile in the vicinity of the surface, the orientation of the molecules and even the properties of the interphase. Unfortunately, a comparison of the results of such theoretical calculations to experimental data is difficult, or at least lacking at the moment. 

In order to obtain detailed information about the reaction mechanism, the results obtained from the reaction of buta-1 2-diene with deuterium were used to calculate / /-profiles and hence theoretical deuterobutene distributions as described in Sect. 4.4. The distributions of deuterium in the n-butenes, buta-1 3-diene and buta-1 2-diene together with the butene / -profiles and calculated deuterobutene distributions are shown in Table 25. 

If odor-evoked slow temporal patterns actually provide higher brain centers with information about the odor quality, identification and discrimination cannot be instantaneous as many of the temporal features in the response profiles appear late or even after offset of odor exposure. Honeybees need 500 ms for a response to (non-sexual pheromone) odors but at least 1 second of stimulation is required for a correct discrimination (J. Klein, unpublished, cited in Galizia el al., 2000a). Thus, it appears that time is an important factor in discrimination tasks involving non-pheromonal odors and the slow temporal patterns could theoretically contribute to an olfactory code. In contrast, these temporal patterns would be too slow to encode information about sexual pheromones. Male moths, for example, must be able to respond to rapid changes in stimulus intermittency when moving upwind in pheromone plumes in search of a calling female. 

Solvent effects can significantly influence the function and reactivity of organic molecules.1 Because of the complexity and size of the molecular system, it presents a great challenge in theoretical chemistry to accurately calculate the rates for complex reactions in solution. Although continuum solvation models that treat the solvent as a structureless medium with a characteristic dielectric constant have been successfully used for studying solvent effects,2,3 these methods do not provide detailed information on specific intermolecular interactions. An alternative approach is to use statistical mechanical Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulation to model solute-solvent interactions explicitly.4 8 In this article, we review a combined quantum mechanical and molecular mechanical (QM/MM) method that couples molecular orbital and valence bond theories, called the MOVB method, to determine the free energy reaction profiles, or potentials of mean force (PMF), for chemical reactions in solution. We apply the combined QM-MOVB/MM method to...
