Reference base, selection

Hence there are multiple solutions for the final set of 10000 compounds. The final selection can be diversity driven using for example cluster analysis based on multiple fingerprints [63], hole filling strategies by using scaffold/ring analysis (LeadScope [66], SARVision [66]) or pharmacophore analysis [67, 68]. For a review of computational approaches to diversity and similarity-based selections, see the paper of Mason and Hermsmeier [69] and the references therein. 

If specific enthalpies are unavailable, they can be estimated based on defined reference states for both solute and solvent. Often the most convenient reference states are crystalline solute and pure solvent at an arbitrarily chosen reference temperature. The reference temperature selected usually corresponds to that at which the heat of crystallization, AH c, of the solute is known. (The heat of crystallization is approximately equal to the negative of the heat of solution.) For example, if the heat of crystallization is known at Tref, then reasonable reference conditions would be the solute as a solid and the solvent as a liquid, both at Tref. The specific enthalpies could be estimated then as ... 

Presently, the importance of Nd allyl compounds as intermediates in Nd carboxylate- and other Nd-based catalyst systems is widely accepted. As various Nd allyl compounds have been synthesized, characterized and successfully tested as polymerization catalysts this view is supported by solid experimental evidence (Sect. 2.1.1.5 and the references therein). Selected Nd allyl compounds exhibit significant polymerization activities without the addition of cocatalysts. In these cases the active species is neutral. But also cationic active Nd species are taken into consideration (Sect. 2.1.1.5) [288,291]. Cationic species also prevail in the presence of non-coordinating anions. 

The reader is referred to reviews (e.g., see Refs. 2, 6, 7) for further detail and discussion of other related measures and methods for diversity-based selection. 

The actual development may comprise a combination of some reference scenarios selected for analysis, with each reference scenario being a clear and perhaps extreme example of pursuing a concrete line of political and technological preference. It is important that the scenarios selected for political consideration be based on values and preferences judged as important in the... 

The selection of a reference base for property tabulations is arbitrary. Whatever base is selected, the base values of the different extensive properties will cancel out of the thermodynamic property calculations--assuming, of course, that the calculations are carried out correctly. (That is, when employing thermochemical property tabulations to make property calculations, it is necessary to assure that the base values cancel out this must be done for all extensive properties--enthalpy, entropy,..., availability, etc.)... 

I conducted workshops on selected incident reports they had sent me. To help the attendees explore the reality of accident causation, they were given copies of the exhibit A Systemic Causation Model for Hazards-Related Incidents shown in Chapter 10. It works as a reference base. The point to be made was this The employees in that entity could do a good job of investigation if management so required. 

To keep the length of the book within acceptable limits, many problems which are usually included in textbooks for stndents at technical universities, are here omitted or presented very briefly. For some topics, which are perhaps peripheral to the book s scope, the reader is referred to selected references where basic data may be fonnd for example, concrete-like composites without cement, like polymer concretes (PC) and bitnmen concretes, are only briefly mentioned. For similar reasons the scope of the book is Hmited to materials, and composite structnres are not considered. Mechanical properties - strength, deformability, tonghness, etc. - are more closely examined than other physical properties of cement-based composites.
