Radical theory

According to the free-radical theory of molecular transformation, thermal crac "". ... 

Since Harman s famous work [440] on free radical theory of aging in 1956, numerous studies have been dedicated to the development of his theory, which were reviewed by many authors (see, for example, early reviews, Refs. [441-444]). There is of course no necessity and possibility to discuss these reviews, which have been perfectly considered by their authors. 

In addition to atomism, the principal chemical theories of the nineteenth century included electrochemical dualism, the radical theory, the type theory, and the structure theory, the latter strongly identified with what chemists called the "law of linking" of carbon atoms. The valence theory evolved as a way of tying together the notions of chemical equivalence and chemical structure, and it carried along the old problem that some chemical elements (e.g., nitrogen) exhibit different combining values with another element in different circumstances. 

In 1833 he was called to the newly founded University of Zurich, where, in spite of the very meager equipment, he analyzed many Swiss mineral waters and published monographs on them. His Chemie der organischen Verbindungen, based on the radical theory, was the Beil-stein of that time, and was to be found in the hands of every chemist (57,66).

However, even a less radical theory of discounting than the hyperbolic theory can solve the difficulties of Becker and Murphy s addiction theory. It is sufficient to assume that people s rate of discounting typically fluctuate unsystematically over time and that people are therefore not always equally farsighted. The theory of fluctuating discount functions postulate that people discount the future recursively and that they base their judgments on realistic expectations about their own future mental states. Hence, this theory can be seen as a straightforward extension of classical rational choice theory. Still, these consu-... 

In postulating this radical theory of consciousness, I have drawn primarily on two sources my investigations of altered states of consciousness, in which I have explored some of the very radical alterations in the ways in which people perceive themselves and the world, and psi phenomena.

Faraday was thus able to enunciate his two laws of electrolysis. His second law implied that both matter and electricity were atomic in nature. Faraday was deeply opposed to atomism, especially the theory proposed by John Dalton, and indeed held a very antimaterialist view. It was clear to Faraday, however, that the law of definite proportions also required some sort of atomic theory. What Faraday proposed in the 1840s was that matter was perceived where fines of force met at a particular point in space. A direct experimental outcome of this radical theory was Faraday s discovery in 1845 of the magneto-optical effect and diamagnetism. The field theory that Faraday developed from this was able to solve a number of problems in physics that were not amenable to conventional approaches. This was one reason why field theory was taken up quite quickly by elite natural philosophers such as William Thomson (later Lord Kelvin) and James Clerk Maxwell. 

Mention of the methylene radical theory has been repeatedly made by the investigators working at the Institute of Organic Chemistry. In addition to hydrocarbon synthesis, a peculiar part has been ascribed by Eidus and Zelinskil to the methylene radicals in polymerization and hydrogenation (hydropolymerization) of ethylene which is discussed in the next section. 

When the battle was over and the victorious Ionians had put away their armor, Ostwald, the picturesque standard bearer of radical theories, purchased a country estate in Gross Bothen, appropriately named it Energie, and settled down to further... 

A quite different explanation of the deviations from traditional behavior of radical copolymerization has been suggested by Tudos [44], who has advanced a hot-radical theory. In the kinetic scheme corresponding to this theory one should account for the reactions of the monomers with the intermediate ( hot ) radicals which have not yet lost the reaction heat stored in the course of the previous reaction step. 

According to the free radical theory, the production of highly reactive oxygen free radicals cause progressive, random damage to DNA, RNA, enzymes, and other proteins, as well as unsaturated fatty acids and phospholipids, which eventually leads to cell death (H4). 

In-depth studies of the accelerated aging syndromes, especially Down s syndrome, will further clarify the relationship between the genomic and free radical theories.
