Rationale for

Hiickel-type systems (such as Hilcfcel pericyclic reactions and suprafacial sigmatropic shifts) obey the same rules as for sigma electron. The rationale for this observation is clear If the overlap between adjacent p-electron orbitals is positive along the reaction coordinate, only the peraiutational mechanism can... 

In some force fields the interaction sites are not all situated on the atomic nuclei. For example, in the MM2, MM3 and MM4 programs, the van der Waals centres of hydrogen atoms bonded to carbon are placed not at the nuclei but are approximately 10% along the bond towards the attached atom. The rationale for this is that the electron distribution about small atoms such as oxygen, fluorine and particularly hydrogen is distinctly non-spherical. The single electron from the hydrogen is involved in the bond to the adjacent atom and there are no other electrons that can contribute to the van der Waals interactions. Some force fields also require lone pairs to be defined on particular atoms these have their own van der Waals and electrostatic parameters.

The rationale for the development of such fibers is demonstrated by their appHcation in the medical field, notably hemoperfusion, where cartridges loaded with activated charcoal-filled hoUow fiber contact blood. Low molecular weight body wastes diffuse through the fiber walls and are absorbed in the fiber core. In such processes, the blood does not contact the active sorbent direcdy, but faces the nontoxic, blood compatible membrane (see Controlled RELEASE TECHNOLOGY, pharmaceutical). Other uses include waste industrial appHcations as general as chromates and phosphates and as specific as radioactive/nuclear materials. 

Cromakalim (137) is a potassium channel activator commonly used as an antihypertensive agent (107). The rationale for the design of cromakalim is based on P-blockers such as propranolol (115) and atenolol (123). Conformational restriction of the propanolamine side chain as observed in the cromakalim chroman nucleus provides compounds with desired antihypertensive activity free of the side effects commonly associated with P-blockers. Enantiomerically pure cromakalim is produced by resolution of the diastereomeric (T)-a-meth5lben2ylcarbamate derivatives. X-ray crystallographic analysis of this diastereomer provides the absolute stereochemistry of cromakalim. Biological activity resides primarily in the (—)-(33, 4R)-enantiomer [94535-50-9] (137) (108). In spontaneously hypertensive rats, the (—)-(33, 4R)-enantiomer, at dosages of 0.3 mg/kg, lowers the systoHc pressure 47%, whereas the (+)-(3R,43)-enantiomer only decreases the systoHc pressure by 14% at a dose of 3.0 mg/kg. 

Planning. Through planning, technology managers estabUsh objectives, develop the rationale for these objectives, and estimate the resources required over time to succeed at the strategic business, R D organizational, and project levels. 

CoUagenase specifically cataly2es the hydrolysis of coUagen, and is used in debridement of dermal ulcers and bums (191). It, like chymopapain, is also useful in the treatment of herniated lumbar disks (192,193). The rationale for coUagenase treatment in this instance is based on the preponderance of coUagen in herniated disk tissue, and the inabiUty of other en2ymes to dissolve coUagen (194). 

Until Jenike developed the rationale for storage-vessel design, a common criterion was to measure the angle of repose, use this value as the hopper angle, and then fit the bin to whatever space was available. Too often, bins were designed from an architectural or structural-engineering viewpoint rather than from the role they were to play in a process. Economy of space is certainly one vahd criterion in bin design, but others must be considered equally as well. Table 21-14 compares the principal characteristics of mass-flow and funnel-flow bins.

The next topic to address is the process of setting OELs. The rationale for setting OELs has no basis in absolute information, and the procedure to be followed may differ from country to country and from substance to substance. Scientific criteria for health protection should be used in combination with considerations of their technical and economic feasibility in a dynamic process in which the development of scientific knowledge underlies rapid changes entailing the need to periodically review the data. 

Prior to orders being placed the purchasing documents should be checked to verify that they are fit for their purpose. Again this requirement is appropriate to subcontracts but only if you submit your purchasing documents to your vendors. The extent to which you carry out this activity should be on the basis of risk and if you choose not to review and approve all purchasing documents, your procedures should provide the rationale for your decision. The standard does not require that the review and approval be documented. In some cases orders are produced using a computer and transmitted to the vendor directly without any evidence that the order has been reviewed or approved. The purchase order does not have to be the only purchasing document. If you enter pur-... 

The selection of methods is not meant to be exhaustive, but important reactions are illustrated by detailed examples and a rationale for the solution of problems of double bond introduction is suggested. An attempt has been made to select references which contain recent examples and useful bibliographies. 

Just as there must be some rationale for selecting a particular stiffness and/or strength of material for a specific structural application, there must also be a rationale for determining how best to achieve that stiffness and strength for a composite of two or more materials. That is, how can the percentages of the constituent materials be varied so as to arrive at the desired composite stiffness and strength ...

The second condition is that the well-dispersed slurry forms a homogeneous bed by formation of the bed under well-controlled conditions. This is achieved by a two-step procedure where the bed is formed using constant velocity of the mobile phase and then stabilizing the bed at a constant pressure (Hagel, 1989). The rationale for the first step at constant velocity is that this will create uniform drag forces from the flowing liquid on the gel particles and thus...

The rationale for the predominance of linear cyclization products versus angular cyclization products has been accepted as qualitative." The mechanism of the Combes reaction has been argued. It was initially proposed that cyclization to linear products was due to initial protonation of a more reactive site on the aromatic ring (1-position of 13 corrresponding to the 10-position of 15) thus, blocking cyclization to angular products. Bom showed this not to be the case for the cyclization of 2-naphthyl amino-2-penten-4-one. No 10-deutero material was observed.
